We explore how attending to the goals an activity achieves (i.e., its instrumentality) impacts the motivation to pursue the activity. We propose that the focus on the activity’s instrumentality renders the activity mo...

development of new cultivars with high seed yield and desirable characteristics are major goals of lentil program for moderate and semi warm climate of iran. kimiya is a new lentil (lens cultivars medik) cultivar with high-yield, yield satability and adaptability to rainfed conditions. the iranian agricultural research, education and extension organization issued registration for kimiya on 9 au...

Previous analyses on the gauge invariance of the action for a generally covariant system are generalized. It is shown that if the action principle is properly improved, there is as much gauge freedom at the endpoints for an arbitrary gauge system as there is for a system with “internal” gauge symmetries. The key point is to correctly identify the boundary conditions for the allowed histories an...

OSCAR is a fully implemented architecture for a cognitive agent, based largely on the author’s work in philosophy concerning epistemology and practical cognition. The seminal idea is that a generally intelligent agent must be able to function in an environment in which it is ignorant of most matters of fact. The architecture incorporates a general-purpose defeasible reasoner, built on top of an...

introduction of high yielding as well as high quality rice cultivars is one of the most important activities at rice research institute of iran (rrii). in 1991, 210 rice lines introduced from international rice research institute (irri) to rice research institute of iran were evaluated in observational and statistical experiments in mazandaran for two years, and seven lines were selected. these...
