this paper investigates the use of ‘lexical bundles’ in two broad corpora of journalistic writing. the aim of this study is to compare the use of lexical bundles in the two domains, one consisted of newspaper articles written in english and published in england and the other one comprised of newspaper articles written in persian from iranian publications. for this purpose, the frequency of occu...

The paper examines a simple conceptual modification of the operation unit of a RISC processor. We propose to substitute a part of the conventional general purpose register file by a shift register for all operation results. The presented approach allows to reduce the instruction size for a great deal of instructions and so the instruction stream, and it is also a promising approach to make the ...

A large register set can be exploited by keeping variables and constants in registers instead of in memory. Hardware register windows and compiletime or link-time global register allocation are ways to do this. A measure of the effectiveness of any of these register management schemes is how thoroughly they manage to remove loads and stores. This measure also must count extra loads and stores t...

The current study sought to explore the impact of SFL-oriented register instruction on Iranian EFL learner’ writing performance with a central focus on their English proficiency level. As its secondary aim, the study delved deeply into the learners’ perception of the register-based instruction. To these ends, 50 intermediate and 50 advanced Iranian EFL learners were selected randomly and assign...

In this paper, scan and ring schemes of the pseudo-ring memory self-testing are investigated. Both schemes are based on emulation of the linear or nonlinear feedback shift register by memory itself. Peculiarities of the pseudo-ring schemes implementation for multi-port and embedded memories, and for register file are described. It is shown that only small additional logic is required and allows...
