In treating the subject of musical language, a Persian musician would be intrinsically drawn to the structural similarities between the Persian music and language. Indeed Persian music and language are extremely related in their metrics, intonations and structural phrases (syntax). Although we will draw upon this relationship, our aim in this article is to present “music as a language,” c...

Reverse supply chain is a process dealing with the backward flows of used/damaged products or materials. Reverse supply chain includes activities such as collection, inspection, reprocess, disposal and redistribution. A well-organized reverse supply chain can provide important advantages such as economic and environmental ones. In this study, we propose a general framework and formulate a m...

In this paper, we present a multi-formalism modeling framework (abbreviated by MFMF) for modeling and simulation. The proposed framework is defined based on the concepts of meta-models and uses object-orientation to overcome the complexities and to enhance the extensibility. The framework can be used as a basis for modeling by various formalisms and to support model composition in a unified man...

The parallelization of optimization algorithms is very beneficial when the function evaluations of optimization problems are time consuming. However, parallelization gets very complicated when we deal with a large number of parallel resources. In this paper, we present a framework called Self-organized Invasive Parallel Optimization (SIPO) in which the resources are self-organized. The optimiza...

neural network is one of the most widely used algorithms in the field of machine learning, on the other hand, neural network training is a complicated and important process. supervised learning needs to be organized to reach the goal as soon as possible. a supervised learning algorithm analyzes the training data and produces an inferred function, which can be used for mapping new examples.  hen...

Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) films, prepared by transferring an amphiphilic molecular monolayer (Langmuir monolayer) from a water surface onto a solid substrate, represent both archetypal and prototypical “organized films” (OFs). Known since about 80 years, LB films can be considered from many points of view as one of the prominent predecessors of what we call nanoscience today [1]. Their impact on i...

In this paper, we present a large and general overview of document models that can be used to represent the text content. The overview is organized according to a series of model components (tokens, concepts or themes) and a series of possible structures (vectors, trees, graphs, and ontologies). Each model is briefly discussed in terms of semantics and potential usage. In a subsequent section, ...

This paper presents a two layer multi-agent architecture designed to support communities of practice in organizations which are concerned about knowledge sharing. The main goal of this proposal is, therefore to facilitate knowledge exchange in organizations whose employees are organized into communities.

This paper presents a two-layer multi-agent architecture designed to support communities of practice in organizations which are concerned with knowledge sharing. The main goal of this proposal is to facilitate knowledge exchange in organizations whose employees are organized into communities. In order to test the architecture, a prototype with which to recommend documents in communities of prac...

We investigate the growth of self-organized tubes formed by injection of metal salt solutions into silicate solution. The wall thickness increases strictly in an inward direction and obeys square root functions suggesting the presence of a traveling reaction-diffusion front in the radial direction. We also demonstrate the construction of multi-layered tubes.
