The Long and Winding Road: My Journey in Diabetes Education

I am honored to represent the work of diabetes education, accomplished by me in small part and by many colleagues, and I am privileged to recognize the impact that our work has had on people with diabetes. When I got news of this award, I wanted my presentation to be tied to a theme that captured my passion and one with which a wide audience could identify. The music of The Beatles is expressiv...

On Subtitling of Ta’ārof Apologies

Apologies are sources of problems in the process of Persian-English subtitling as they are performed with variant forms and functions in these two languages and cultures. ‘Ta’ārof apologies’-Persian apologies which are extended to show politeness-creates more serious obstacles for the subtitlers. These difficulties root in the culture-specific contexts in which they are used as well as the cult...

User Modeling: The Long and Winding Road

The long and winding road of user modeling is grounded in different epistemological assumptions exploring different dimensions of the problem. User-modeling research has explored different domains, identified important distinctions underlying different approaches within user modeling research, and created a number of challenging research problems. These issues are explored in the context of hig...

Influence of the Parameters of Disk Winding on the Impulse Voltage Distribution in Power Transformers

Overvoltage distribution along the transformer winding must be uniform to certify the safety of the operation of the power transformer. Influence of the parameters variation on the impulse voltage distribution (IVD) in disk winding transformer is going to be analyzed which hasn’t been analyzed on this type of winding in the previous papers. In this research, a transformer with disk winding and ...
