it is evident for everyone that translation is of importance in communication. the reason is due to the fact that translation is considered both as a building bridge and a common bond among various cultures and people around the world. many researchers and theorists in the translation field consider style in the literary translation as a significant subject. the present study tries to evaluate ...

a nonlocal beam model based on the bernoulli–euler beam theory is presented to investigate the dynamic stability of embedded single-walled carbon nanotubes (swcnts) in thermal environment under combined static and periodic axial loads. the dynamic stability analysis is carried out by including the effects of small-scale parameter, temperature change and elastic medium. the equation of motion is...

Amalgamated logic programming can be used to express relationships between two theories which can be interpreted as a transformation from one theory to another, so providing a form of logical update. In a system representing objects as theories this can explain state updates of objects but it does not account properly for object identiiers. We describe a notion of rebinding for object identiier...

Conceptual change is a popular, contemporary conception of meaningful learning. Conceptual change describes changes in conceptual frameworks (mental models or personal theories) that learners construct to comprehend phenomena. Different theories of conceptual change describe the reorganization of conceptual frameworks that results from different forms of activity. We argue that learners’ concep...

Environmental justice and sustainability are compatible lenses, yet action toward equity is often missing from urban sustainability initiatives. This study aims to assess the cohesion of these frameworks in practice. To do this, we parse individuals' theories of change, or how they identify and propose to resolve environmental injustices in the pursuit of sustainability. We posit that these the...

A successful Software maintenance process depends on three factors: the maintenance goals, the technical properties of the system and the people performing the software maintenance. Most of the current work to investigate software maintenance only considers the first two factors, ignoring the third factor, which limits the scope and accuracy of these approaches. In this paper, we use change the...

This longitudinal study examines the mechanisms through which behavioral beliefs and attitude toward behavior change in time. We test two alternative explanations: the two-stage model of cognition change based on the expectation-disconfirmation theory (EDT), and the implicit change mechanism of the deliberative theories: theory of reasoned action (TRA) and theory of planned behavior (TPB). As t...

This paper examines the dynamic and multi-level relationship between organization and innovation from three different but interdependent perspectives: a) the relationship between organizational structural forms and innovativeness; b) innovation as a process of organizational learning and knowledge creation; and c) organizational capacity for change and adaptation. It provides a critical review ...

regionalism as a manifestation of international cooperation began in europe after the second world war, but this spread gradually to other geographical regions including the latin america and southeast asia.new regionalism differs from old regionalism in some respects including agency, the motivation of the agency, as well as direction and scope of cooperation and integration. since there is a ...

the present paper is concerned with  the investigation of disturbances in a homogeneous  transversely isotropic thermoelastic rotating  medium with two temperatures, in the presence of the combined effects of   hall currents and magnetic field due to thermomechanical sources. the formulation is applied to the thermoelasticity theories developed by green-naghdi theories of type-ii and type-iii. ...
