چکیده

The Abiteboul and Beeri algebra for complex objects can express a query whose meaning is transitive closure, but the algorithm naturally associated to this query needs exponential space. We show that any other query in the algebra which expresses transitive closure needs exponential space, under a \call by value" evaluation strategy. This proves that in general the powerset is an intractable operator for implementing xpoint queries.

On the irreducibility of the complex specialization of the representation of the Hecke algebra of the complex reflection group $G_7$

We consider a 2-dimensional representation of the Hecke algebra $H(G_7, u)$, where $G_7$ is the complex reflection group and $u$ is the set of indeterminates $u = (x_1,x_2,y_1,y_2,y_3,z_1,z_2,z_3)$. After specializing the indetrminates to non zero complex numbers, we then determine a necessary and sufficient condition that guarantees the irreducibility of the complex specialization of the repre...

Evaluation of task complexity with using the number of practice trails

The purpose of this study was to explore the effectiveness of the number of practice trials in determining the degree of task complexity. Sixty subjects according to the types of tasks (A-B) and receiving feedback (100%, omitted, self-control) were randomly divided into six groups.All of the subjects practiced 100 trials tasks in each day on first two days. Retention tests were performed during...

An Investigation into the Effects of Joint Planning on Complexity, Accuracy, and Fluency across Task Complexity

The current study aimed to examine the effects of strategic planning, online planning, strategic planning and online planning combined (joint planning), and no planning on the complexity, accuracy, and fluency of oral productions in two simple and complex narrative tasks. Eighty advanced EFL learners performed one simple narrative task and a complex narrative task with 20 minutes in between. Th...

A rule-based evaluation of ladder logic diagram and timed petri nets for programmable logic controllers

This paper describes an evaluation through a case study by measuring a rule-based approach, which proposed for ladder logic diagrams and Petri nets. In the beginning, programmable logic controllers were widely designed by ladder logic diagrams. When complexity and functionality of manufacturing systems increases, developing their software is becoming more difficult. Thus, Petri nets as a high l...

Cognitive Task Complexity and Iranian EFL Learners’ Written Linguistic Performance across Writing Proficiency Levels

Recently tasks, as the basic units of syllabi, and the cognitive complexity, as the criterion for sequencing them, have caught many second language researchers’ attention. This study sought to explore the effect of utilizing the cognitively simple and complex tasks on high- and low-proficient EFL Iranian writers’ linguistic performance, i.e., fluency, accuracy, lexical complexity, and structura...
