although story mapping strategy has been shown to be beneficial in many reading comprehension classes, the benefits of this technique have not been thoroughly investigated in l2 writing research. the small number of previous studies (e.g., li, 2007; brunner, 2010) have found the potential benefits of using story mapping strategy on students’ writing performance, but they did not focus on differ...

background : the age standardized incidence rates of esophageal cancer in women and men in iran have the fifth and eighth ranks, respectively. due to the high incidence rate of esophageal cancer and the necessity of knowledge of its geographical distribution, the incidence of this cancer was mapped at province and county levels in the present study. methods: the study population of this empiric...

introduction: voxel based morphometry is a type of statistical parametric mapping that can be used to investigate the effect of diseases such as epilepsy, alzheimer's disease and parkinson's disease or other agent such as skills on brain structure (white matter, gray matter and cerebrospinal fluid). the aim of this study is evaluate the effectiveness of this method in detection of dif...

the aim of this paper is to prove a common fixed point theorem for nonexpansive type single valued mappings which include both continuous and discontinuous mappings by relaxing the condition of continuity by weak reciprocally continuous mapping. our result is generalize and extends the corresponding result of jhade et al. [p.k. jhade, a.s. saluja and r. kushwah, coincidence and fixed points of ...

the main aim of this paper is to introduce three classes $h^0_{p,q}$, $h^1_{p,q}$ and $th^*_p$ of $p$-harmonic mappings and discuss the properties of mappings in these classes. first, we discuss the starlikeness and convexity of mappings in $h^0_{p,q}$ and $h^1_{p,q}$. then establish the covering theorem for mappings in $h^1_{p,q}$. finally, we determine the extreme points of the class $th^*_{p}$.

n this paper, we prove some common fixed point theorems for multivalued mappings and we present some new generalization contractive conditions under the condition of weak compatibility. our results extends chang-chen’s results  as well as ´ciri´c results. an example is given to support the usability of our results.

this work aims to extract the mineralogical constituents of the lahroud hyperion scene situated in the nw of iran. like the other push-broom sensors, hyperion images suffer from spectral distortions, namely the smile effect. the corresponding spectral curvature is defined as an across-track wavelength shift from the nominal central wavelength, and alters the pixel spectra. the common “column me...

in a voice conversion system speech signal of a speaker (i.e. source speaker) is modified so that it sounds as if it had been pronounced by b speaker (i.e. target speaker). this process, sometimes, is called speaker conversion (changing speaker identity). achieved signal from speaker conversion system is desired to have high quality and very natural. to satisfy this, three major methods are pro...
