The current study aimed to examine the effects of strategic planning, online planning, strategic planning and online planning combined (joint planning), and no planning on the complexity, accuracy, and fluency of oral productions in two simple and complex narrative tasks. Eighty advanced EFL learners performed one simple narrative task and a complex narrative task with 20 minutes in between. Th...

health systems, particularly those in low- and middle-income countries (lmics), need stronger management and leadership capacities. management and leadership are not synonymous, yet should be considered together as there can be too much of one and not enough of the other. in complex adaptive health systems, the multiple interactions and relationships between people and elements of the system me...

In the biclique attack, a shorter biclique usually results in less data complexity, but at the expense of more computational complexity. The early abort technique can be used in partial matching part of the biclique attack in order to slightly reduce the computations. In this paper, we make use of this technique, but instead of slight improvement in the computational complexity, we keep the amo...

background and aims: bilirubin has been considered an antioxidant that protects against atherosclerosis. the aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship of serum bilirubin level with the severity and complexity of coronary artery disease (cad) and long-term outcome in the patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pci). materials and methods: this prospective cohort ...

undoubtedly, information technology (it) has undergone extensive developments in various social and economic spheres; its effect on human society is in such a way that the world today is referred as information society. besides, information technology, attributed as the main agent of global change, is to achieve meta- organization purposes. it also pertains to appropriate information formulated...

this study examined the effects of aural and written prompts under two planning conditions (i.e. pre-task planning and no planning) on complexity, accuracy, and fluency of test takers' writing production. forty learners in an english institute, who had already been classified as intermediate according to the oxford placement test, were assigned to two planning conditions (i.e. no planning and p...

using the usual definitions of information and entropy in quantum gravity and statistical mechanics and the existing views about the relation between information and complexity, we examine the evolution of complexity in an ever expanding universe.
