arguments for the recognition of cultural diversity have led to a fundamental question in political theory: on what basis the process of political decision making should be formed to accommodate cultural diversity as a permanent feature of contemporary societies? the aim of this paper is to examine whether 'dialogue' can be employed as a means in such a process. the first section of this paper...

In network analysis, a community is typically considered of as a group of nodes with a great density of edges among themselves and a low density of edges relative to other network parts. Detecting a community structure is important in any network analysis task, especially for revealing patterns between specified nodes. There is a variety of approaches presented in the literature for overlapping...

Abstract In various scientific fields, researchers make use of partitioning methods (e.g., K -means) to disclose the structural mechanisms underlying object by variable data. some instances, however, a grouping objects into clusters that are allowed overlap (i.e., assigning multiple clusters) might lead better representation clustering structure. To obtain an overlapping from data, Mirkin’s ADd...

aim and background: the purpose of this study was to compare executive function and sustained attention in students with obsessive–compulsive, high schizotypal and overlapping symptoms and a control group. methods and materials: the present study assessed undergraduate students of tabriz university by ex post facto method. randomized multi-stage cluster sampling was used to select 1570 students...

the friction stir process (fsp) is a solid state process, which has been used to insert reinforcing particles into the structure of a material to create a composite with improved properties. magnesium is a light structural metal that is increasingly used in the aerospace and automobile industries. in this research, sic nanoparticles were added to az31 alloy using fsp in two overlaps of 100% and...

Cardiac transplantation, a final option of treatment for refractory heart failure, has not been a standard procedure in Japan especially, mainly because of the shortage of donors. However, surgical methods to restore native heart function, such as surgical ventricular restoration (SVR), are often effective for these cases. The Dor procedure has been used for ischemic cardiomyopathy cases presen...

We study the non-overlapping indexing problem: Given a text T , preprocess it in order to answer queries of the form: given a pattern P , report the maximal set of non-overlapping occurrences of P in T . A generalization of this problem is the range non-overlapping indexing where in addition we are given two indexes i, j to report the maximal set of non-overlapping occurrences between these two...
