Tasks and business entities are the major constituents of processes but they not always considered equally important. The activity-centric approach artifact-oriented one have radically different visions. former focuses on control flow, i.e., representation precedence constraints between tasks, considers dataflow an add-on. latter emphasizes states defines transitions in a declarative way that m...

When bilaterally symmetric images are spatially filtered and thresholded, a subset of the resultant 'blobs' cluster around the axis of symmetry. Consequently, a quantitative measure of blob alignment can be used to code the degree of symmetry and to locate the axis of symmetry. Four alternative models were tested to examine which components of this scheme might be involved in human detection of...

AbstractThe current study examined the modification devices (MDs) used by non-native speakers (NNSs) learning EFL during dyadic task-based interactions. Three meaning-oriented tasks, namely picture-description, spot-the-difference, and opinion-exchange, were used to elicit data from 24(12 male and 12 female, forming 4 male-male, 4 female-female, and 4 male-female dyads) Iranian EFL learners wit...

this paper establishes new support for implementing outward oriented trade policies by relating industrial sector growth, trade policy orientation and export growth in 36 developing countries,including iran using a logistic growth function. based on thisstudy the use of stronglyoutward oriented policies towards export is likly relatedto a faster growth ofthe share of industrial output in gdp as...

Athletes regularly combine maximal strength, power, and hypertrophy-oriented training within the same workout. Traditionally, it has been suggested that power-oriented exercises precede strength and hypertrophy-oriented training within a workout to avoid the possible negative effects that the latter types of training may have on power output. However, with regard to upper-body training, little ...
