throughout history several translators with different motives and styles have tried to translate the holy koran. the study of their goals and styles/ their strong and weak points can be a way to present improved translations of the holy koran in the future. focusing on the hamd sura, this article studies three well-known german translators of koran (salomon schweigger, david friedrich megerlin,...

Text similarity measures have been widely studied and used in machine learning and information retrieval for many years. However, few applications of text similarity have dealt with multi-lingual translations of a specific document. Additionally, the growing number of texts with more translations being generated increases the challenge of distinguishing or identifying the similarity and differe...

Introduction At higher static field strengths of 7T and above specific absorption rate (SAR) and acoustic sound pressure level (SPL) pose limitations on the pulse sequence design. To overcome SAR limitations, the VERSE principle can be used [1]. Here, the envelope of existing rf pulses are modified together with the shape of the slice-selection gradient to selectively reduce high B1 amplitudes ...

This paper presents a pilot study in the "epidemiological" program for cultural research put forward by Dan Sperber. Theory is offered to argue that verse form is so disabling that its worldwide distribution must be explained by functions other than the broad communicative, or ideological, power traditionally attributed to it. The theoretical case is confirmed by numerical data showing that in ...

The Variable-Rate Selective Excitation (VERSE) technique is shown to improve image quality by reducing fast spin echo spacing and improving slice profile. An algorithm was developed to use VERSE waveform reshaping to minimize echo spacing given specific prescription parameters and system constraints and was implemented for an SSFSE sequence to create shorter RF pulses with higher time•bandwidth...

The relationship between text and image in later medieval art is complex has a growing literature. Wall paintings two churches South Wales suggest ways which could inspire sophisticated programmes of paintings. At Llandeilo Talybont, sequence telling the story Crucifixion through Instruments Passion relates to devotions readings from Holy Week liturgy. Llancarfan, satirical poem on fashionable ...

The objective of this study was to investigate the synchronization between low-frequency breathing patterns and respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) of heart rate during guided recitation of poetry, i.e., recitation of hexameter verse from ancient Greek literature performed in a therapeutic setting. Twenty healthy volunteers performed three different types of exercises with respect to a cross-sec...
