Staggered price and staggered wage contracts are commonly viewed as similar mechanisms in generating persistent real effects of monetary shocks. In this paper, we distinguish the two mechanisms in a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium framework. We show that, although the dynamic price setting and wage setting equations are alike, a key parameter governing persistence is linked to the underl...

Within the scope of the multithreaded dataflow, the problem of scheduling/allocation of DOACROSS loops has been discussed and it was shown that the so-called staggered allocation offers higher performance and resource utilization than other schemes described in the literature. The staggered scheme, however, produces an unbalanced load among processors. This paper introduces an extension to the ...

Although vocabulary acquisition requires children learn names for multiple things, many investigations of word learning mechanisms teach children the name for only one of the objects presented. This is problematic because it is unclear whether children's performance reflects recall of the correct name-object association or simply selection of the only object that was singled out by being the on...

background: finding the right word is a necessity in communication, and its evaluation has always been a challenging clinical issue, suggesting the need for valid and reliable measurements. the homophone meaning generation test (hmgt) can measure the ability to switch between verbal concepts, which is required in word retrieval. the purpose of this study was to adapt and validate the persian ve...

introduction: emotional words in comparison with neutral words have different hemispheric specialization. it is assumed that the right hemisphere has a role in processing every kind of emotional word. the objective of the present study was the development of a persian version of the dichotic emotional word test and evaluate its validation among adult persian speakers.   materials and methods: t...

The study investigated the accuracy of non-word production by bilingual and monolingual children. participants (125 children in total) belonged to two groups with different language repertoires one group Lithuanians. analysis revealed that overall performance both was better than group. demonstrated more accurate statistically significant results repeating longer structurally complex non-words....

background and aim: quick speech in noise (q-sin) test has popularity for evaluating speech recognition in noise. the present study has been paid to build five new persian lists with respect to all possible factors affecting the test, to determine validity of the test and to run five lists for normal hearing subjects and assessment of reliability. methods: to build lists, frequent, familiar and...
