Time correlated fluctuations interacting with a spatial asymmetry potential are sufficient conditions to give rise to transport of Brownian particles. The transfer of information coming from the nonequilibrium bath, viewed as a source of negentropy, give rise to the correlated noise. The algorithmic complexity of an object provides a means of quantitating its information contents. The Kolmogoro...

Complexity is one of the most important issues of any production planning. The increase in complexity of production planning can cause inconsistency between a production plan and an actual outcome. The complexity generally can be divided in two categories, the static complexity and the dynamic complexity, which can be computed using the ant ropy formula. The formula considers the probability of...

: This study aims to explore the relationship between syntactic and lexical complexity and also the relationship between different aspects of lexical complexity. To this end, speech monologs of 35 Iranian high-intermediate learners of English on three different tasks (i.e. argumentation, description, and narration) were analyzed for correlations between one measure of sy...

abstract the present study was an attempt to investigate the relationship between efl learners’ anxiety and writing complexity. for the purpose of the study, 70 female learners, between 17 and 24 years old (mean=20) from najm language school in tehran participated in the study. the participants’ level of anxiety was measured using horwitz, horwitz, and cope’s anxiety questionnaire (1986) and th...

Fermé and Rott (‘Revision by Comparison’, Artificial Intelligence 157, 2004) introduced a binary operation of ‘revision by comparison’ and pointed out that this method of changing epistemic states has both characteristics of belief contraction (with respect to the ‘reference sentence’) and characteristics of belief revision (with respect to the ‘input sentence’). Using revision by comparison as...

In this paper I compare two different the models of two-dimensional belief change, namely ‘revision by comparison’ (Fermé and Rott, Artificial Intelligence 157, 2004) and ‘bounded revision’ (Rott, in Hommage à Wlodek, Uppsala 2007). These revision operations are two-dimensional in the sense that they take as arguments pairs consisting of an input sentence and a reference sentence. Two-dimension...

Post-modernism and recent critical theory has sought to deconstruct the role of particular ‘Great Traditions’ and ‘Grand Narratives’ as privileged accounts of world affairs, contemporary and historical. In spite of this, such narratives, even if poorly understood, remain at the heart of much public debate and continue to shape national and global policies. These traditions, linked to elements o...

In the biclique attack, a shorter biclique usually results in less data complexity, but at the expense of more computational complexity. The early abort technique can be used in partial matching part of the biclique attack in order to slightly reduce the computations. In this paper, we make use of this technique, but instead of slight improvement in the computational complexity, we keep the amo...

the notion of sustainable development has rapidly gained considerable attention since the lastdecades of the twentieth century. it has become a locus for global paradigm shift on environment and development issues particularly after rio conference in 1992. the comparative analysis of agenda 21 and major un documents, mdg, and rio+20 as well as some major sources are made to provide a context fo...
