In this article, the aim of the authors is to study the role of repetition in creating music and parallelism in Nimayee poems in the three collections of poems by Mehdi Akhavan Sales: Zamestan, Akhere Shahname and Az Avesta. Accordingly, the researchers have investigated the various manners of repetition in creating parallelism in the poems at three levels: phonological parallelism, lexical par...

This study explored how political elites can contribute to power enactment through using language. It started with a theoretical overview of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), and then presented a corpus consisting of speeches of eight political elites, namely, Malcolm X, Noam Chomsky, Martin Luther King, Josef Stalin, Vladimir Lenin, Winston Churchill, J.F. Kennedy and Adolph Hitler. This stud...

Today, there are several drawback that impede the necessary and much needed use of robot learning techniques in real applications. First, the time needed to achieve the synthesis of any behavior is prohibitive. Second, the robot behavior during the Iearning phase is by dejinition bad, it may even be dangerous. Third, except within the lazy learning approach, a new behavior implies a new learnin...

Today, there are several drawbacks that impede the necessary and much needed use of robot learning techniques in real applications. First, the time needed to achieve the synthesis of any behavior is prohibitive. Second, the robot behavior during the learning phase is – by definition – bad, it may even be dangerous. Third, except within the lazy learning approach, a new behavior implies a new le...

Learning games are an ideal vessel for many kinds of learning content. Playful interaction with the subject matter makes the human mind more receptive and thus learning itself more effective. Well designed games also come with an addictive game-play that makes users want to play the game over and over. This is intended in fun games but it can be counterproductive in learning games as users spen...

We prove an impossibility result for a randomness-efficient parallel repetition. Our result is motivated by an early result of Feige and Kilian (STOC’95), who proved an impossibility result for randomness-efficient parallel repetition for two prover games with small degree, i.e., when each prover has only few possibilities for the question of the other prover. In recent years, there have been i...

objective : the major objective of this study was to determine the means and 95% confidence interval of normal 6 years old children's motor-verbal skills. based on the results of this study we could develop a measure to diagnose abnormal motor skills. in addition, in this follow-up study, we compared the first-graders' motor-verbal skills to their own skills one year earlier. method: ...

We exhibit the construction of a deterministic automaton that, given k > 0, recognizes the (regular) language of k-differentiable words. Our approach follows a scheme of Crochemore et al. based on minimal forbidden words. We extend this construction to the case of C∞-words, i.e., words differentiable arbitrary many times. We thus obtain an infinite automaton for representing the set of C∞-words...
