this study aimed to describe the concepts and characteristics of wilson's information seeking behavior model, as the highly cited pattern in information seeking behavior debates and tracing its completion, expansion and development process. wilson's information seeking behavior model is the base for other subsequent related models. it has been the highly cited model amongst other information se...

purpose: the aim of this study was to investigate the barriers to information seeking behaviors (in the phases of needs identification, information seeking, designing search strategy formula, and using information) of faculty members of islamic azad university of shiraz based on the expansion of dervin’s sense making theory (kari’s theory). methodology: this is an applied study using the survey...

Among all measures of independence between random variables, mutual information is the only one that is based on information theory. Mutual information takes into account of all kinds of dependencies between variables, i.e., both the linear and non-linear dependencies. In this paper we have classified some well-known bivariate distributions into two classes of distributions based on their mutua...

Traditional channel capacity based on the discrete spatial dimensions mismatches continuous electromagnetic fields. For wireless communication system in a limited region, discretization may results information loss because field can not be perfectly recovered from sampling points. Therefore, theory spatially fields becomes necessary to reveal fundamental theoretical bound of systems. In this pa...
