The study tested whether place attachment enhances the place satisfaction among visitors of the multiplex cinema in Tehran-Iran. Structural equation modeling was employed on a sample of 220 visitors. Regression models were estimated to test the relationship of place attachment and place satisfactions of visitors. Place attachment has the four dimensions of place dependence, place identity, plac...

We present a machine learning approach for the Arabic Dialect Identification (ADI) and the German Dialect Identification (GDI) Closed Shared Tasks of the DSL 2017 Challenge. The proposed approach combines several kernels using multiple kernel learning. While most of our kernels are based on character p-grams (also known as n-grams) extracted from speech transcripts, we also use a kernel based o...

Human observers can quickly and accurately interpret the meaning of complex visual scenes. The neural mechanisms underlying this ability are largely unexplored. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to measure cortical activity while subjects identified briefly presented scenes as specific familiar locations ("Houston Hall"), general place categories ("kitchen"), or general situational ...

We used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to measure cortical activity while subjects identified briefly-presented scenes as either specific familiar locations ("Houston Hall"), general place categories ("kitchen"), or genera...

This paper contributes to the debate initiated by Gali (1999). I provide a theory with capital income taxation, labor hoarding as well as long-run shifts in the social attitudes to the work place modelled as ”leisure at the work place” to argue that there are other shocks that may influence labor productivity in the long run.

Nevertheless, the complications of these infections are often life threatening. The purpose of this study was to review the clinical findings in deep neck infections and identification predisposing factors of these complications. Material...
