one of the main features of high throughput computing systems is the availability of high power processing resources. cloud computing systems can offer these features through concepts like pay-per-use and quality of service (qos) over the internet. many applications in cloud computing are represented by workflows. quality of service is one of the most important challenges in the context of sche...

the purpose of this study was to assess exposure to hand-arm vibration in tiller users, forty users of tiller in northeastern provinces of iran were examined to measure hand-arm vibration parameters such as root mean square acceleration (rms), total equivalent acceleration, vibration dose value (vdv) and crest factor in three directions (x, y, and z) and various operating modes for comparing th...

Despite considerable enhances in recognizing hand gestures from still images, there are still many challenges in the classification of hand gestures in videos. The latter comes with more challenges, including higher computational complexity and arduous task of representing temporal features. Hand movement dynamics, represented by temporal features, have to be extracted by analyzing the total fr...

Psychosis and psychosis-proneness are associated with abnormalities in subjective experience of the self, including distortions in bodily experience that are difficult to study experimentally due to lack of structured methods. In 55 healthy adults, we assessed the relationship between self-reported psychosis-like characteristics and susceptibility to the rubber hand illusion of body ownership. ...

the present paper seeks to present a minimalist account for the derivational process of marked ergative constructions in hawrami in terms of phase theory (chomsky 2000, 2001, 2004; radford 2009; citko2014). this phase-based approach is compared to the former feature-based approach advocated by karimi doustan and naghshbandi (2011). it is argued that using phase theory and its related mechanisms...

in the civil procedure act, local inquiry is explained in a chapter separate from testimony, but for similarity of these two proofs, connection of them and criterion of separating them is disputable. in this article, we will study in one portion the role of witness and testimony conditions and in other portion, the role of number, sexuality, locality and ceremonies in separating of these proofs...
