the nocturnal harmony of wood orchestra, reza ghassemi’s first novel, is a rare example of iranian postmodernist novel. though the novel has a complicated structure, it is still well-crafted, readable and pleasing, a virtue that very often is not observed in persian postmodernist novels. the present study analyzes the novel in the light of such terms as metafiction, ontological ambiguity, short...

Meta-analysis is an important tool for interpreting results of functional neuroimaging studies and is highly influential in predicting and testing new outcomes. Although traditional label-based review can be used to search for agreement across multiple studies, a new function-location meta-analysis technique called activation likelihood estimation (ALE) offers great improvements over convention...

With great interest, I read Kompanje’s (2006) clinical case report about a remarkable penis-shortening device invented in 1593 by the surgeon Hildanus. With this letter, I want to point your readers to an even older description of a similar device—not by a medical scholar, but by the great Persian humanist, philosopher, and poet Jalal-ud-Din Muhammad Rumi (1207–1273). In his poem, ‘‘The Importa...

We consider the heat equation associated to Schr\"{o}dinger operators acting on vector bundles asymptotically locally Euclidean (ALE) manifolds. Novel $L^p - L^q$ decay estimates are established, allowing operator have a non-trivial $L^2$-kernel. also prove new for spatial derivatives of arbitrary order, in general geometric setting. Our main motivation is application stability non-linear equat...

In this paper, a monolithic arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian (ALE)-finite element method (FEM) is developed based upon novel ALE mapping for type of parabolic/mixed parabolic moving interface problem with jump coefficients. A stable Stokes-pair mixed FEM within specific stabilization technique and time-difference scheme are to discretize in both semi- fully discrete fashion, which the stability er...

In this paper, an Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) method is addressed to solve dynamic problems involving large deformation. This ALE method is based upon the operator split technique in which the material displacements and mesh displacements are uncoupled. Special issues such as time-stepping, mesh refinement, dynamic equilibrium checks and remapping of state variables are briefly explaine...
