the current study examined the correlation among iranian efl learners’ emotional intelligence (ei), critical thinking (ct) ability, and l2 vocabulary knowledge (vk). to this end, surveys were administered to 75 iranian advanced efl participants. analyses of the data revealed a mutual relationship between the iranian efl learners’ ei and their l2 vk. similarly, a positive correlation was found b...

In the present study, we consider a computational model similar to the classical RAM machine, except that each instruction performed by the machine may fail with probability q < 1=6e: The failures are transient and independent of each other. The deenition of this model (which we call ERRAM) follows a previous work citelp, where we did not allow for addressing errors. We show how an arbitrary RA...

We study a particular model of random medium, called the orthant model, in general dimensions d≥2. Each site x∈Zd independently has arrows pointing to its positive neighbours x+ei, i=1,…,d with probability p and, otherwise, negative x−ei, (with 1−p). prove shape theorem for set sites reachable by following arrows, starting from origin, when is large. The argument uses subadditivity, as would be...

We study the limiting distribution of the sum SN (t) = PN i=1 e tXi as t → ∞, N → ∞, where (Xi) are i.i.d. random variables. Attention to such exponential sums has been motivated by various problems in random media theory. Examples include the quenched mean population size of a colony of branching processes with random branching rates and the partition function of Derrida’s Random Energy Model....

this study aims to undertake a statistical study to evaluate the accuracy of nine models that have been previously proposed for estimating the ultimate resistance of plate girders subjected to patch loading. for each model, mean errors and standard errors, as well as the probability of underestimating or overestimating patch load resistance, are estimated and the resultant values are compared o...

Emotional intelligence (EI) is a new concept and a type of intelligence that is described as &ldquo;the ability to understand exactly, evaluate and represent emotion&rdquo;. Many studies were evaluated the effect of emotional intelligence on work satisfaction and performance. The results were shown that the employees with high level of emotional intelligence are valuable property for their orga...
