This study set out to explore the impact of three levels of task planning on the accuracy of task-based oral performance with narrative task types among sixty Iranian sophomores majoring in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) at Islamic Azad University – Tabriz Branch. It was hypothesized that simultaneous pre-task/on-line planning would lead to more accurate performance. To test the ...

This paper is in line with the previous publication on the powdery mildew fungi from Gilan province (Iran). This part deals with two new species to Iran and provides some information on the distribution, host range and morphology of a few other. For generic identification, the authors have followed the generic concepts that have recently been introducd by BRAUN (1999) and BRAUN  and TAKAMATSU (...

laguerre function has many advantages such as good approximation capability for different systems, low computational complexity and the facility of on-line parameter identification. therefore, it is widely adopted for complex industrial process control. in this work, laguerre function based adaptive model predictive control algorithm (ampc) was implemented to control continuous stirred tank rea...

An adaptive version of growing and pruning RBF neural network has been used to predict the system output and implement Linear Model-Based Predictive Controller (LMPC) and Non-linear Model-based Predictive Controller (NMPC) strategies. A radial-basis neural network with growing and pruning capabilities is introduced to carry out on-line model identification.An Unscented Kal...

The Belgian Electronic Identity Card enables Belgian citizens to prove their identity digitally and to sign electronic documents. At the end of 2009, every Belgian citizen older than 12 years will have such an eID card. In the future, usage of the eID card may be mandatory. However, irresponsible use of the card may cause harm to individuals. Currently, there exist some privacy and security pro...
