this article deals with the discourse of cultural globalisation and related issues such as the global market and cultural industry, which emerged as recent seminal factors within the context of iranian culture, art and artistic practice during the recent history of iran. moreover, it seeks to explore the inevitable issues drawn from the process of globalisation, namely the forces of standardisa...

In diasporic literature the question of identity is tangled with the question of history. This study aims at discussing how Yasmin Crowther reviews the Persian tradition in The Saffron Kitchen, her autobiographical novel which is mainly set-in early 60s, Iran. The novel focuses on evoking and rewriting history by using different types of counter narratives that contrast with Iranian hegemonic d...

Listeners exploit small interindividual variations around a generic acoustical structure to discriminate and identify individuals from their voice-a key requirement for social interactions. The human brain contains temporal voice areas (TVA) involved in an acoustic-based representation of voice identity, but the underlying coding mechanisms remain unknown. Indirect evidence suggests that identi...

The neural basis of self and identity has received extensive research. However, most of these existing studies have focused on situations where the internal representation of the self is consistent with the external one. The present study used fMRI methodology to examine the neural correlates of two different types of identity conflict: identity faking and concealment. Participants were present...

In a recent paper, Guo, Mező, and Qi proved an identity representing the Bernoulli polynomials at non-negative integer points m in terms of the m-Stirling numbers of the second kind. In this note, using a new representation of the Bernoulli polynomials in the context of the Zeon algebra, we give an alternative proof of the aforementioned identity.

We show that the monoid M2(T) of 2 × 2 tropical matrices is a regular semigroup satisfying the semigroup identity A2B4A2A2B2A2B4A2 =A2B4A2B2A2A2B4A2. Studying reduced identities for subsemigroups of M2(T), and introducing a faithful semigroup representation for the bicyclic monoid by 2 × 2 tropical matrices, we reprove Adjan’s identity for the bicyclic monoid in a much simpler way.

There are many forms of feature information present in video data. Principle among them are object identity information which is largely static across multiple video frames, and object pose and style information which continuously transforms from frame to frame. Most existing models confound these two types of representation by mapping them to a shared feature space. In this paper we propose a ...

In the development of memory-based models of automaticity, it is crucial to specify the nature of the memory representation. Seven experiments with 94 students use a counting task to determine whether a feature (i.e., identity, color, or orientation) is explicitly represented in memory. It is assumed that the degree of transfer to a pattern differing on one feature is determined by that feature...

contemporary literary traumatheory indicates that experiencing trauma creates a fear that destroys identity. in fact, experiencing trauma creates a new identity for the victim. the representation of the trauma and the formation of the new identity for the victim are the building blocks of trauma novels. due to the nature of trauma, it seems impossible to fully describe traumatic experiences by ...

Future telecommunications systems will introduce a multitude of partly small network and/or service providers. For those providers to interwork, a coordinated organizational cooperation and standardization of the technology are crucial. One important aspect of standardization is about handling user identities. In the Daidalos architecture, users and user groups are considered equally. As there ...
