Complimenting behavior, as a common speech act of human beings, has become an intriguing topic in linguistics and its sub-branches. Compliment responses can be seen as solutions for maintaining a balance between (1) a preference to avoid self-praise and (2) a preference to accept or agree with the compliment (Pomerantz 1978). In the present study, the definition of a compliment draws on the wor...

in this paper, the mechanical behavior of three-phase inhomogeneous materials is modeled using the meso-scale model with lattice beams for static and dynamic analyses. the timoshenko beam theory is applied instead of the classical euler-bernoulli beam theory and the mechanical properties of lattice beam connection are derived based on the continuum medium using the non-local continuum theory. t...

regarding the highly intensive competition in the market, nowadays using customer-oriented strategies is necessary for retention and attraction of the costumers. nevertheless, using those kinds of strategies depends on understanding customer behavior patterns and classification of customers in accordance with those patterns. the current study aims to determine the strategies for dealing with ne...

INTRODUCTION: The literature shows that persons exhibiting a type A behavior pattern (an unusual sense of time urgency ,excessive job involvement ,and hostile /competitive interpersonal relationships) are more prone to the risk of initial myocardial infarction (4) . Type A behavior pattern may be defined as “a chronic insistent struggle to achieve more and more in less and less time, even if no...

Living beings exhibit behavior in a continous concurrent manner. For example animals and humans have heartbeats and respiration. This is referred to as autonomic behavior. Some machines also operate in this manner. For example process control systems continuously monitor a manufacturing process in real-time and make corrections to the process as required. Software objects often are considered t...

In this paper, we present an approach for enhancing program understanding and reusability through a behaviordriven design pattern recovery process. In this context, incorporating behavioral features would characterize the approach as a goal-driven and scalable pattern recovery process. The proposed technique consists of a featureoriented dynamic analysis and a two-phase design pattern detection...
