this paper compared the efficacy of these two methods on retention, understanding and problem solving in the biology keeping in the mind the fact that student's learning style has a role as a moderator variable. the intervening effects on retention, understanding and problem solving were measured by two academic achievement tests that those have the confirmable validity and reliability indexes....

the present paper is an attempt to apply bourdieu’s field theory to the political field of the islamic republic of iran. the concept of field, as explained by bourdieu, provides a suitable theoretical framework to identify and explain the complexities and intricacies of different behaviors of this system and analyze its absolutely different practices in domestic and international arenas.  the m...

We discuss the connection between supersymmetric field theories and topological field theories and show how this connection may be used to construct local lattice field theories which maintain an exact supersymmetry. It is shown how metric independence of the continuum topological field theory allows us to derive the lattice theory by blocking out of the continuum in a deformed geometry. This, ...

Many Gibbs measures with mean field interactions are known to be chaotic, in the sense that any collection of k particles n-particle system asymptotically independent, as n→∞ fixed or perhaps k=o(n). This paper quantifies this notion for a class continuous on Euclidean space pairwise interactions, main examples being systems governed by convex and uniformly confinement potentials. The distance ...

Abstract Field independence (FI) is the extent to which a person perceives part of field as discrete from surrounding rather than embedded in field. Several studies proposed that it represents cognitive style relatively stable individuals’ predisposition towards information processing. This study investigated effects Independence/Field Dependence (FI/FD) on topographic memory virtual environmen...

Scheme independence of exact renormalization group equations, including independence of the choice of cutoff function, is shown to follow from general field redefinitions, which remains an inherent redundancy in quantum field theories. Renormalization group equations and their solutions are amenable to a simple formulation which is manifestly covariant under such a symmetry group. Notably, the ...
