The aim of this research was an investigation into norm extraction regarding the domestication and foreigni- zation of culture specific items (CSIs) in the children‟s literature in the last four years (from 1393 to 1396). The corpus of this study was 8 English children‟s books with their Persian translated versions. The theoreti- cal fra...

In this paper, we defined the Zq-linear codes and discussed its various parameters. We constructed Zq-Simplex code and Zq-MacDonald code and found its parameters. We have given a lower and an upper bounds of its covering radius for q is an even integer.

The goal of this paper is to enable the interactive simulation of phenomena such as animated fluid characters. While full 3D fluid solvers achieve this with control algorithms, these 3D simulations are usually too costly for real-time environments. In order to achieve our goal, we reduce the problem from a threeto a two-dimensional one, and make use of the shallow water equations to simulate su...

The purpose of the paper is to apply monotone multigrid methods to static and dynamic biomechanical contact problems. In space, a finite element method involving a mortar discretization of the contact conditions is used. In time, a new contact–stabilized Newmark scheme is presented. Numerical experiments for a two body Hertzian contact problem and a biomechanical application are reported.

A general approach to the dimension reduction of non-linear finite element models of solid dynamics is presented. It is shown how for the Newmark implicit discretization in time the computationally most expensive phase in the equilibrium iteration, namely the solution of the system of linear equations for displacement increments, can be formulated in an approximation basis of much reduced dimen...
