The present corpus-based study addressed the strategies applied in translating the cultural elements (CEs) of the Iranian ‘resistance’ literature into English. The corpus comprised Chess with the Doomsday Machine, Eternal Fragrance, and Fortune Told in Blood translated by Sprachman, Omidvar, and Ghanoonparvar, re- spectively. The Persian books and their English translations were analyzed on thr...

wound healing in the skin depends upon the availability of appropriate trace metals as enzyme cofactors and structural components in tissue repair. the present study is a part of a series of experimental investigations to examine the influence of bentonite on skin wound healing. surgically induced skin wounds in 48 young adult male rats were exposed topically to bentonite (12 round wound and 12...

Route planning represents a major challenge with substantial impact on safety, economy, and even climate. An ever-growing urban population caused significant increase in commuting times, therefore, stressing the prominence of efficient real-time route planning. In essence, goal is to compute fastest reach target location realistic environment where traffic conditions are time-evolving. Conseque...

We analyze degeneracy of lower envelopes of algebraic surfaces. We focus on the cases omitted in the existing complexity analysis of lower envelopes [Halperin and Sharir 1993], and re-define the degeneracy from the viewpoint of the adjacency structure and the number of connected components. We also define badness of degeneracy from such viewpoint and show how bad the degeneracy can be. This res...

More often than not, users appear to use groupware in another way than the groupware designers intended or IT departments expected. Users tend to 're-invent' the technology by developing novel uses, giving rise to what we call ‘the evolving use of technology’. This innovative use of groupware in time leads to changed and changing work processes and individual working practices change (Hettinga ...

This article explores innovations in and pedagogical approaches to Responsible Entrepreneurship Education (REE), with a specific focus on how advance responsible entrepreneurial competencies (“know-how”) practices (“know-that”). Consequently, this proposes the “4Rs” framework (re-imagining, reconfiguring, reshaping, reforming) guide entrepreneurship educators’ actions. Firstly, it is necessary ...

This paper describes the implementation of an optical ow range-estimation algorithm, intended to support autonomous helicopter navigation, on the iWarp distributed-memory multicomputer. The implementation exploits numerous features of the iWarp communications and computation architecture to maximize performance and e ciency. The range-estimation algorithm has been previously implemented on both...
