following the categorical approach to universal algebra through algebraic theories, proposed by f.~w.~lawvere in his phd thesis, this paper aims at introducing a similar setting for general topology. the cornerstone of the new framework is the notion of emph{categorically-algebraic} (emph{catalg}) emph{topological theory}, whose models induce a category of topological structures. we introduce t...

in this paper, we try to use modeling based on singular perturbation theory, in order to control satellite attitude during the wide rolling angle maneuvering through nonlinear h∞ control strategy. differential equations describing dynamics of the satellite are presented first, and by choosing the appropriate dynamic model for actuators and based on the standard singular perturbation model, the ...

the classical test theory (ctt) and item response theory (irt) are widely used in construction and analysis of exams and questionnaires. because of the various shortcomings of ctt, irt has been designed. even though irt has overcome most of the limitations of ctt and has made computer adaptive testing possible, it is still important to point out that not enough reasons exist to totally discard ...

bourdieu’s sociological theory contains all the elements necessary to form a political theory. through reviewing the works of bourdieu attempts have been made in the present paper to discuss those elements and also to reconstruct a political theory by combining them in a theoretical framework. this is a new attempt and has not been yet accomplished. therefore, in the present paper attempts have...

the auther first defines that a theory is an interrrelated set of definitions and propositions, put forth to anticipate and explain the phenomena by dint of recognizing the relation between factors.the developmental theory, ascientific theory based on genetic methods aims to render a new organizattioin of the data and the relevant knowledge.upon this, piaget proviedes a co-variational relation ...
