In order to identify the dimensions and indices of the phenomenon of “leading transfer of learning” within the secondary schools of Tehran province, a sample of 17 lecturers, principals, and experienced teachers was targeted and then interviewed. Inductive analyses of the collected data at three levels of open, pivotal, and selective coding indicate that the role of high school principals along...

  In this paper Semi-Markov models are used to forecast the triple dimensions of next earthquake occurrences. Each earthquake can be investigated in three dimensions including temporal, spatial and magnitude. Semi-Markov models can be used for earthquake forecasting in each arbitrary area and each area can be divided into several zones. In Semi-Markov models each zone can be considered as a sta...

various dimensions of the human vestibular aqueduct were evaluated in two groups, patient and control, and these measurements were compared. both groups were examined clinically, followed by audiometric evaluation and temporal bone high resolution ct scan. it was found that in approximately one third of the patient group (with idiopathic snhl), the vestibular aqueduct was 1.5 mm or larger. also...

Neurons in the inferior temporal cortex (IT) of the macaque fire more strongly to some shapes than others, but little is known about how to characterize this shape tuning more generally, because most previous studies have used somewhat arbitrary variations in the stimuli with unspecified magnitudes of the changes. The present investigation studied the modulation of IT cells to nonaccidental pro...

Recently, there has been a lot of interest in temporal gran-ularity, and its applications in temporal dependency theory and data mining. Generalization hierarchies used in multi-dimensional databases and OLAP serve a role similar to that of time granularity in temporal databases, but they also apply to non-temporal dimensions, like space. In this paper, we rst generalize temporal functional dep...

This paper focuses on the problem of designing a query language for data models with multiple temporal dimensions. 1 Data Models with Multiple Temporal Dimensions Valid and transaction times are commonly recognized as the basic (orthogonal) temporal dimensions for data [2], and a variety of issues related these two dimensions have been systematically explored in the literature [3]. In parallel,...
