This study aims to investigate the extent to which social presence (as an element of Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework exists in virtual learning environments of the present study. The population of the study consisted of 107 virtual students at B.S. level at the Iran University of Science and Technology and Khajeh Nasir Toosi University of Technology. A questionnaire was developed by the re...

Mystics use a special kind of language to convey their thoughts, circumstances (haal) and experiences. This is exclusive for mystics has its own distinctive words expressions. While there are numerous categorizations, mystic divided into the two broad types literal symbolic language.

We present a proposal for the annotation of multi-word expressions in a 1M corpus of contemporary portuguese. Our aim is to create a resource that allows us to study multi-word expressions (MWEs) in their context. The corpus will be a valuable additional resource next to the already existing MWE lexicon that was based on a much larger corpus of 50M words. In this paper we discuss the problemati...

This study aims to assess the usefulness of multi-word expressions (MWEs) as features for a readability formula that predicts the difficulty of texts for French as a foreign language. Using a MWE extractor combining a statistical approach with a linguistic filter, we define 11 predictors. These take into account the density and the probability of MWEs, but also their internal structure. Our exp...

Identification of Multi-Word Expressions (MWEs) lies at the heart of many natural language processing applications. In this research, we deal with a particular type of Hebrew MWEs, VerbNoun MWEs (VN-MWEs), which combine a verb and a noun with or without other words. Most prior work on MWEs classification focused on linguistic and statistical information. In this paper, we claim that it is essen...

in this paper, a Fuzzy logic based direct torque control (DTC) scheme for split phase induction motor (SPIM) is established. The induction motor has two sets of stator three-phase windings spatially shifted by 30 electrical degrees. The major disadvantage of conventional DTC is existence of high torque ripples. In this paper, we used a fuzzy logic controller to overcome this drawback. Simulatio...
