introduction of modern architecture in iran and its popularization in 1950s and after, brought some new concepts in everyday life of iranian women, among which was “kitchen as heart of home-life”. younger members of current generation are grown in these modernized spaces while a bit older ones have experienced houses of traditional style. this study is designed to explore what previous concept ...

The National Aeronautical and Space Administration (NASA) recently launched a new software defined radio research test bed to the International Space Station. The test bed, sponsored by the Space Communications and Navigation (SCaN) Office within NASA is referred to as the SCaN Testbed. The SCaN Testbed is a highly capable communications system, composed of three software defined radios, integr...

We investigate the possibility of probing dark energy by measuring the isotropy of the galaxy cluster autocorrelation function (an Alcock-Paczyński test). The correlation function is distorted in redshift space because of the cluster peculiar velocities, but if these are known and can be subtracted, the correlation function measurement becomes in principle a pure test of cosmic geometry. Galaxy...

Test (input) data generation is important for the algorithms/software/hardware testing. The previous researches on test data generation motivate us to find some meaningful information of generated test data. In this paper, we differentiate the test (input) data space (i.e., problem instance space) from the output data space (i.e., solution space), by examining the test data generated in terms o...

The algorithmic theory of randomness is well developed when the underlying space is the set of finite or infinite sequences and the underlying probability distribution is the uniform distribution or a computable distribution. These restrictions seem artificial. Some progress has been made to extend the theory to arbitrary Bernoulli distributions (by Martin-Löf), and to arbitrary distributions (...

This study presents the mathematical background which justi es the use of Laplace space in well test analysis. It enables us to perform the whole parameter identi cation (CD; Skin; kh; ...) in Laplace space, or at least gives us a powerful tool to treat the pressure data in order to recognize the model to use for the parameter identi cation in real space. It shows a manner in which the Laplace ...

This paper presents some experiences in adapting the concepts, framework and methodology for protocol testing from the standard IS-9646 to validate space application protocols. In order to assess the space applications the conformance tests defined in IS-9646 are combined with the fault injection technique. This solution comprises a test architecture and a test process with elements to assess n...

This paper shows how satellite owner/operators may use sequential estimates of collision probability, along with a prior assessment of the base risk of collision, in a compound hypothesis ratio test to inform decisions concerning collision risk mitigation maneuvers. The compound hypothesis test reduces to a simple probability ratio test, which appears to be a novel result. The test satisfies to...

Among the tasks in software testing, test data generation is particularly difficult and costly. In recent years, several approaches that use metaheuristic search techniques to automatically obtain the test inputs have been proposed. Although work in this field is very active, little attention has been paid to the selection of an appropriate search space. The present work describes an alternativ...
