Freedom of Association and Freedom of Expression

efl students gender and socioeconomic status: the use of politeness strategies in the first and second languages

within the components of communicative competence, a special emphasis is put on the “rules of politeness,” specifically the politeness strategies (brown and levinson, 1978) that speakers deploy when performing the request speech act. this is because the degree of imposition that making a request places upon one’s interlocutor(s) has been seen to be influenced by several factors among which, as ...

Designing vibrating mode controllers for first degree freedom nonlinear structures

The occurrence of catastrophic earthquakes necessitates further researches in the structure engineering for retrofitting construction structures. In this paper, the application of the active control in the structures’ seismic response has been addressed. A single degree of freedom nonlinear structure has been studied. The nonlinear dynamic of the structure is considered in which, the nonlin...

Democratic Freedom of Expression

This paper suggests the democratic direction in which the right of freedom of expression should be conceived and applied. In the first two sections it suggests some counter-examples to, and diagnoses of, the libertarian and liberal conceptions of freedom of expression, taking Scanlon (1972) and Scanlon (1979), respectively, to be their chief proponents. The paper suggests that these conceptions...

Numerical solution of two-dimensional integral equations of the first kind by multi-step methods

‎‎‎In this paper‎, ‎we develop multi-step methods to solve a class of two-dimensional nonlinear Volterra integral equations (2D-NVIEs) of the first kind‎. ‎Here‎, ‎we convert a 2D-NVIE of the first kind to a one-dimensional linear VIE of the first kind and then we solve the resulted equation numerically by multi-step methods‎. ‎We also verify convergence and error analysis of the method‎. ‎At t...
