Sūrat Maryam (Q. 19): Comforting Muḥammad

Maryam Heydari

Researchers have shown that skilled readers use variety of strategies to comprehend written texts (Stanovich, 2000; Sweet & Snow, 2003). Hence many readers are not aware of reading strategies; there is a need of explicit teaching instruction to develop those strategies. In fact, in most English reading classes there is absence of teaching comprehension strategies to readers, the strategy usuall...

How Does the Comforting Process Work? An Empirical Test of an Appraisal-Based Model of Comforting

Burleson and Goldsmith’s (1998) comforting model suggests an appraisal-based mechanism through which comforting messages can bring about a positive change in emotional states. This study is a first empirical test of three causal linkages implied by the appraisal-based comforting model. Participants (N = 258) talked about an upsetting event with a confederate trained to display low, moderate, or...

The 19-vertex Model at Critical Regime |q| = 1

We study the 19-vertex model associated with the quantum group Uq(ŝl2) at critical regime |q| = 1. We give the realizations of the type-I vertex operators in terms of free bosons and free fermions. Using these free fields realizations, we give the integral representations for the correlation functions.
