The purpose of this study was to explore the role of two multi-step oral-revision processes as feedback providing tools on Iranian EFL learners’ argumentative writing achievement. The participants taking part in this study were 45 Iranian EFL students who were randomly assigned into three groups. The participants of the groups were given three argumentative writing assignments, each assignment ...

conclusions the current study provided evidence for the utility of the belief-based model in the prediction of oral health behaviors. it could be suggested that oral health behavior can be promoted by reducing the perceived barriers and enhancing the students’ knowledge of oral and dental hygiene. background oral and dental health diseases can affect the general health of students. objectives t...

Typically, model misspecification is addressed by statistics relying on model-residuals, i.e., on one-step ahead forecasting errors. In practice, however, users are often interested in problems involving (also) multi-step ahead forecasting performances, which are not explicitly addressed by traditional diagnostics. In this article, we consider the topic of misspecification from the perspective ...

BACKGROUND Free flap reconstruction is a common procedure for through-and-through lip and cheek complex defects after cancer ablation. However, oral incompetence with unacceptable bulky flap appearance invariably occurs and needs a secondary revisionary procedure. The purpose of this article was to present our method to improve the oral competence and cosmetic appearance by the stair-step techn...

modelling and forecasting stock market is a challenging task for economists and engineers since it has a dynamic structure and nonlinear characteristic. this nonlinearity affects the efficiency of the price characteristics. using an artificial neural network (ann) is a proper way to model this nonlinearity and it has been used successfully in one-step-ahead and multi-step-ahead prediction of di...

In this paper, we propose a new approach for iterated revision in possibilistic logic by applying a one-step revision operator. We first argue that the set of KM postulates for revision is too strong to define a practical one-step revision operator and some of them should be weakened. We then present a semantic approach for iterated revision in possibilistic logic using a one-step revision oper...

We introduce a basic framework for multi agent belief revision in heterogeneous societies where agents are required to be consistent in their beliefs on shared variables We identify several properties one may require a general multi agent belief revision operator to satisfy and show several basic implications of these requirements Our work reveals the connection between multi agent belief revis...
