‘Only Connect’? Complexities in International Student Communication

Only Connect

A very individual and personal manifesto by one of London's leading directors of experimental theatre.

Only Connect

The concept of social capital is widely used in the social sciences and has, to an extent, been applied to the lives and social networks of older lesbian, gay and bisexual (hereafter LGB) adults. Developing existing research, this paper argues that while not without its problems, the concept of social capital enriches our understanding of these networks, whilst simultaneously deconstructing the...

Communication Complexities of XOR functions

We call F : {0, 1}n×{0, 1}n → {0, 1} a symmetric XOR function if for a function S : {0, 1, ..., n} → {0, 1}, F (x, y) = S(|x⊕ y|), for any x, y ∈ {0, 1}n, where |x⊕ y| is the Hamming weight of the bit-wise XOR of x and y. We show that for any such function, (a) the deterministic communication complexity is always Θ(n) except for four simple functions that have a constant complexity, and (b) up ...

International Student Mobility Program (ISMP) Analysis of International Students' Challenges in Iran

In the recent decades, Internalization has been one of the most influential events in the higher education systems worldwide. And recruitment of international students, as one of the most effective strategies to achieve the goals of internationalization, has been a common solution to prevail in the competition between countries in the last decade. Therefore, studying these international stude...
