This investigation examined the mixed effects of visual input enhancement, explicit instruction, pushed output, and corrective feedback on noticing and intake of English conjunctive adverbs. Participants included 83 intermediate EFL students enrolled in a grammar and writing course. They were assigned to a control group (n = 22), explicit instruction + pushed output + explicit corrective feedba...

The notion of output-input stability, recently proposed in [2], represents a variant of the minimum-phase property for general smooth nonlinear control systems. In the spirit of the input-to-state stability (ISS) philosophy, the definition of output-input stability requires the state and the input of the system to be bounded by a suitable function of the output and derivatives of the output, mo...

during the last years, the concept of input congestion and technical ineff-ciency in data envelopment analysis (dea), have been investigated by manyresearchers. the motivation of this paper is to present models which obtain thedecreased output value due to input congestion and technical ineciency. more-over, we extend the models to estimate input congestion, technical ineciencyand output red...

as one of the most important products of iran, pistachio has a significant share in non-oil revenues. its annual foreign exchange earnings are over 800 million dollars. however, production of this nut in the country’s major production centers is faced with many problems regarding the efficiency and productivity of the inputs. this study was performed by using two-stage cluster sampling method. ...

Introduction: Intravenous general anesthetic agents are among the most important and widely used anesthetic drugs in the clinical practice. Many pharmacological studies have shown that potentiation of GABA and glycine on their receptors is the most plausible mechanism. Nevertheless, there is limited information on the effects of co-administration of two or more of these agents. However, expe...

The results of two free-recall learning experiments, in which the number and sequential combinations of input and output phases were systematically varied, indicated that (a) recall tests facilitate the overall immediate post-input recall approximately to the same extent as do the events occurring in input phases, (b) input and output events are approximately equally responsible for forgetting ...

This study was designed to find which one of the three different presentations, i.e. input, input-output, and output-input, will be more effective in Iranian EFL learners' vocabulary acquisitions. To this end, first 54 out of 64 female students, aged from 19 to 23 years, with an average of 21, were selected out of starter-level EFL learners at the University of Tarbiat Moalem in Bandar Abbas, I...
