The scale–independence of the primordial curvature perturbation suggests that it comes from the vacuum fluctuation during inflation of a light scalar field. This field may be the inflaton, or a different ‘curvaton’ field. The observation of primordial non–gaussianity would be a smoking gun for the curvaton model, while the observation of gravitational waves originating during slow–roll inflatio...

according to bourdieu’s cultural theory, the author’s trajectory reflects the dialectical relationship between his or her habitus and conditions of the literary field in a given historical situation. habitus is dialectically tied to the field and constructed with different capitals. in an author’s habitus, cultural capital plays the main role as the most significant capital. the field of litera...

Videos and still-images play quite important role in telemedicine, such as dermatology, teleconsultation, endoscopy, and surgery video. However, one of the problems is the lack of color reproducibility, since it is difficult to reproduce the original color of the object in conventional color imaging systems based on RGB (red, green, blue). Although the color management technology enables to dea...

The literature on electronic commerce (EC) and electronic marketplaces has long recognized the importance of different kinds of intermediaries and the different functions they serve [5]. The Internet is most often discussed in connection with digital intermediaries [76], as the displacement of traditional intermediaries. In this research, we propose a new conceptual framework for understanding ...

A researcher in the field of history pays attention to the science of the historiographies characteristics presented by different sects. The present study aimed to survey the most important features of Orientalist historiography in contemporary Iran. Based on the results, the components of colonial Orientalist historiography origins are as follows: the distortion and denial of Islam, the perver...

In research at the interface of personality and intellectual development, an important issue concerns the distinction between cognitive ability and cognitive style. Achenbach and Weisz (1975). recently demonstrated that the distinction is rather difficult to draw with respect to the cognitive style dimension of impulsivity-reflectivity. Another widely studied cognitive style construct that dese...

Lean Management is a managerial approach focused on enhancing customer value through the elimination of non-value adding steps from work processes. Lean Management is also enjoying a resurgence, largely because its ‘do more with less’ philosophy is particularly well-suited for the austere conditions of a 'Great Recession' recovery. Despite this resurgence with practitioners, however, academic r...
