the study aims at investigating the relationship between social capital and national identity. based on giddens’ theory on identity and woolcock and narayan’s theory of social capital, the researchers, through a survey study, have investigated the relationship between social capital and national identity of 360 students of shiraz university. independent variables include demographic variables, ...

Idsardi and Raimy 2000 (I&R) propose that the representations posited by a learner are constrained by economy considerations. If a child hears a string like the Temiar continuative [sglOg], two possibilities are available while building the underlying representation of the string. Either the two segments [g] perceived in the string correspond to different tokens of the same type, or they corres...

Five models by homology containing insertions and deletions and ranging from 33% to 48% sequence identity to the known homologue, and one high sequence identity (85%) model were built for the CASP2 meeting. For all five low identity targets: (i) our starting models were improved by the Internal Coordinate Mechanics (ICM) energy optimization, (ii) the refined models were consistently better than...

This paper addresses the topic of federated identity management. It discusses in detail the following topics: what is digital identity, what is identity management, what is federated identity management, Kim Cameron’s 7 Laws of Identity, how can we protect the user’s privacy in a federated environment, levels of assurance, some past and present federated identity management systems, and some cu...

Many federated identity management systems have been proposed to solve the problem of authorizing users across security domains. Although these solutions attempt to follow the user-centric design approach to empower users by letting them make important decisions on whether to release sensitive information, they do not provide much help to users in making good decisions. More importantly, privac...

in first stage it must notice the identity cri sis as pathological approach to identity and if pathogenesis. factor s would be distinguished, it will be assumed as basis for remedy the problems. in the record of iran historical identity we must study a period of 170 years ago. iranian approaches to the western civilization based on two different methods: a)reject attitude. and b)terrified attit...

Tyrosinase is a type-3 copper enzyme that is widely distributed in plants, fungi, insects, and mammals. Developing high potent inhibitors against tyrosinase is of great interest in diverse fields including tobacco curing, food processing, bio-insecticides development, cosmetic development, and human healthcare-related research. In the crystal structure of Agaricus bisporus mushroom tyrosinase, ...

Multi-user broadcast authentication enables a large number of users to join in and broadcast messages to wireless sensor networks (WSN) dynamically and authentically. Public-key-based schemes have been proposed to provide such services; however, none of them achieve security, scalability and efficiency simultaneously. This paper presents IMBAS, an identity-based multi-user broadcast authenticat...

We use a gauge-invariant regularization procedure, called split dimensional regularization, to evaluate the quark self-energy Σ(p) and quark-quark-gluon vertex function Λμ(p , p) in the Coulomb gauge, ~ ▽ · ~ A = 0. The technique of split dimensional regularization was designed to regulate Coulomb-gauge Feynman integrals in non-Abelian theories. The technique which is based on two complex regul...

the conformational analysis of the organic compounds specially the biologically active natural products has attracted the consideration of different research groups. therefore, in the present study the mp2/6-311+g(d,p)//b3lyp/6-311+g(d,p) level of theory was used to study the conformations of dapdiamide d. the identity of interactions in selected conformers was studied using atom in molecule ap...
