اولین ارتباط ایرانیان با تئاترغربی زمانی اتفاق افتاد که دانشمندان و فلاسفه با فن شعر ارسطو آشنا شدند. در اواسط قرن نوزدهم، سفرهای پادشاهان قاجار به فرانسه، موجب برقراری و گسترش روابط فرهنگی و ادبی بین دو کشور ایران و فرانسه شد و اولین سالن تئاتر به شیوه غربی در تهران احداث گردید. جایی که ترجمه­ها و اقتباس­هایی از نمایشنامه­های مولیر در آن به اجرا درآمدد. پس از این زمان اکثر آثار ادبی و هنری فرا...

Vagueness is not undecidability, but undecidability does enter into an explanation of why there is vagueness. My theory, called the Undecidability Theory of Vagueness, explains vagueness largely as a result of the fact that we are computationally bound.1 Vagueness is not due to any particularly human weakness, but due to a weakness that any computationally bound agent possesses; even HAL from 2...

When measured over decades in countries that have been relatively stable, returns from stocks have been substantially better than returns from bonds. This is often attributed to investors’ risk aversion: stocks are thought to be riskier than bonds, and so investors will pay less for an expected return from stocks than for the same expected return from bonds. The game-theoretic probability-free ...

A new species of Habralictus Moure (Apoidea, Halictidae) is described from the island of Dominica, Habralictus gonzalezisp. n. The species is distinguished from other West Indian Habralictus and a key is provided to the West Indian Habralictus. Brief comments on the genus Habralictus and bee species of Dominica are provided.

We measured the mechanical properties of the respiratory system of C57BL/6 mice using the optimal ventilation waveform method in closed- and open-chest conditions at different positive end-expiratory pressures. The tissue damping (G), tissue elastance (H), airway resistance (Raw), and hysteresivity were obtained by fitting the impedance data to three different models: a constant-phase model by ...
