Network operators are seriously considering satellite-based networks to offer broadband and multimedia services to supplement and enhance their existing terrestrial networks. Most proposed Ka-band satellite-based multimedia communications require advanced switching technology and signal processing on-board satellites that will directly impact

Strategy is a series of actions which a learner uses to facilitate language learning. The participants were 60 intermediate level female students studying at Boostan-e-Marefat language institute in Marvdasht, Southern East of Iran. They were selected and assigned randomly to treatment and control groups. A lexis notebook program was implemented in one class over a 4-week period, with the remaining class acting as control group, following the same curriculum but keeping vocabulary notebooks. The instruments used in this study included a pretest/posttest and a questionnaire. At the end, the results of this study indicated that keeping lexis notebook strategy is more effective than keeping vocabulary notebook strategy on students’ vocabulary learning and based on the data...

Several techniques were involved in splitting stone from quarry masses. Once split, stonecutters would choose where in the structure and for what purpose each block befitted. At times, impurities were detected in blocks either before splitting or during rough cutting at the quarry site, or after final dressing on the construction site, viz. the Terrace. Apart from those for quarrying, Achaemenian masons applied several other techniques as part of setting, attaching and dressing processes on the construction site. Some blocks bear marks that were made by stonecutters and have thus been categorized as stonecutter's marks. Yet, there are other related symbols that are instead connected with specific techniques used by masons for setting in place and holding together separate stone blocks. The present work addresses problems the stonecutters had to tackle while selecting blocks for using in the structures on the Terrace, and placing them atop each other during the construction process.
