Based on Robinson’s Cognition Hypothesis, this study explored the effects of task complexity on the lexical complexity of Iranian EFL students’ argumentative writing.This study was designed to explore the manipulation of cognitive task complexity along +/-single task dimension (a resource dispersing dimension in Robinson’s triadic framework) on Iranian EFL learners’ production in term of lexica...

Purpose Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is a limited-angle tomographic imaging modality that can be used for cancer screening in conjunction with full-field digital mammography (FFDM) or synthetic (SM). Currently, there are five commercial DBT systems have been approved by the U.S. FDA screening, all varying greatly design and protocol. Because different technical specifications, need quanti...

action research is an attempt to seek immediate solutions to the problems experienced in educational settings. in this type of research, teachers are the researchers who intend to make instant reforms to develop, and improve their teaching styles and reflect on pedagogical practices. the purpose of this study was to conduct an action research to tackle the problem of students' low motivation in...

background and objective: cerebro-vascular accident (cva) is considered to be one of the main causes of acquired motor disability in adults. different motor rehabilitation programs are being designed in order to improve motor difficulties of patients with cva. in the current study we aimed to assess the effect of task-based mirror therapy on upper limb functions and activities of daily living i...

In the present study, two different models of task complexity; namely, limited attentional capacity model and cognition hypothesis were examined. To this end, the manipulation of cognitive task complexity along +/- single task dimension on Iranian EFL learners’ production in terms of fluency was explored. Based on the results of the writing test of TOFEL (2004), 48 learners were selected as the...

The coordination language Opus is an object-based extension of High Performance Fortran (HPF) that supports the integration of coarse-grain task parallelism with HPF-style data parallelism. In this paper we discuss Opus in the context of multidisciplinary applications (MDAs) which execute in a heterogeneous environment. After outlining the major properties of such applications and a number of d...

This paper proposes a cognitive architecture of an intelligent agent that can have a dialogue with a human agent on health-related topics. This architecture consists of four main components, namely, the Belief Base, the Dialogue Manager, the Task Manager and the Plan Generator. Each component has sub-components that perform a set of tasks for the purpose to enable the agent to be enrolled in a ...
