Safeguarding the Iranian state against external aggression and thus almost guaranteeing its survival "from without", the Iran nuclear deal is expected to have a "desecuritizing" impact in the country over time and thus empower the moderate forces and reformers including the civil society and middle classes.
The purpose of this paper is to present a formal model of social net- works suitable for studying questions in social epistemology. We show how to use this model, in conjunction with a computer program for simulating groups of inquirers, to draw conclusions about the epistemological prop- erties of different social practices. This furnishes us with the beginnings of a systematic research program i
Teachers in elementary and secondary schools are striving for professional status. In todays fighting for higher salaries they rank themselves in the same category as masters of engineering, business administration and lawyers. However their ambitions are not an exclusively modern phenomenon. This paper analyze from a historical perspective todays neoliberal influences on teacher education and tea
The importance of using efficient bases for current expansion in numerical computations of electromagnetic field problems has been emphasized for several decades. It is well known that the basis functions should approximate the physical current (electric or magnetic) to some extent. Moreover, for efficiency, it is reasonably to require that only a few basis functions are needed in order to obtain
A brief review is given of some fundamental aspects of high-resolution core-level photoemission and of its application to studies of pure and adsorbate covered metal surfaces. We first give a short description of the basic theory and then turn to a number of examples. The first group of examples is aimed at demonstrating the use of core-level binding energy shifts for deriving the surface and inte
