چکیده

We obtain several results that distinguish self-reducibility of a language L with the question of whether search reduces to decision for L. These include: (i) If NE 6 = E, then there exists a set L in NP ? P such that search reduces to decision for L, search does not nonadaptively reduces to decision for L, and L is not self-reducible. 1 (ii) If UE 6 = E, then there exists a language L 2 UP ? P such that search nonadaptively reduces to decision for L, but L is not self-reducible. (iii) If UE \ co-UE 6 = E, then there is a disjunctive self-reducible language L 2 UP ? P for which search does not nonadaptively reduce to decision. (iv) There is an oracle relative to which satissable assignments cannot be computed nonadaptively relative to SAT. We prove that if NE 6 6 BPE, then there is a language L 2 NP?BPP such that L is randomly self-reducible, not nonadaptively randomly self-reducible, and not self-reducible. We obtain results concerning tradeoos in multiprover interactive proof systems, and obtain results that distinguish checkable languages from those that are nonadaptively checkable. Many of our results depend on new techniques for constructing p-selective sets. We obtain a p-selective set that is not P tt-equivalent to any tally language, and we show that if P = PP, then every p-selective set is P T-equivalent to a tally language. Similarly, if P = NP, then every cheatable set is P m-equivalent to a tally language. We construct a recursive p-selective tally set that is not cheatable.

The Comparative Effect of Self-assessment vs. Peer-assessment on Young EFL Learners’ Performance on Selective and Productive Reading Tasks

This study aimed at investigating the comparative effect of using self-assessment vs. peer-assessment on young EFL learners’ performance on selective and productive reading tasks. To do so, 56 young learners from among 70 students in four intact classes were selected based on their performance on the A1 Movers Test. Then, the participants were randomly divided into two groups, self-assessment a...

Rough sets theory in site selection decision making for water reservoirs

Rough Sets theory is a mathematical approach for analysis of a vague description of objects presented by a well-known mathematician, Pawlak (1982, 1991). This paper explores the use of Rough Sets theory in site location investigation of buried concrete water reservoirs. Making an appropriate decision in site location can always avoid unnecessary expensive costs which is very important in constr...

Optimal Self-healing of Smart Distribution Grids Based on Spanning Trees to Improve System Reliability

In this paper, a self-healing approach for smart distribution network is presented based on Graph theory and cut sets. In the proposed Graph theory based approach, the upstream grid and all the existing microgrids are modeled as a common node after fault occurrence. Thereafter, the maneuvering lines which are in the cut sets are selected as the recovery path for alternatives networks by making ...
