Individual-based modelling and analysis of forest experiments has been made more accessible to researchers with the advent of modelling environments like Simile from Simulistics.com. Individual-based analyses of tree growth data offer insights not possible with plot-based analyses, especially when the original experimental design has been compromised by mortality or other unforeseen events. The...

Some authors have raised the question whether the probabilities stemming from a quantum mechanical computation are entitled to enter the Bell and the Clauser-Horne inequalities. They have remarked that if the quantum probabilities are given the status of conditional ones and the statistics for the various settings of the detectors in a given experiment is properly kept into account, the inequal...

This article is a “theme” review of three books written by management theorists of high repute. (It follows in the footsteps of a piece published here 4 years ago [Frisch, 1995].) These authors approach management from very different perspectives. But to quote Frisch, “Unfortunately, every con-ceptualization and interpretation needed to arrive at a theory represents the point of view or, more g...

Birds singing in choruses must contend with the possibility of interfering each other's songs, but not all species will interfere other to same extent due signal partitioning. Some evidence suggests that birds avoid temporal overlap only cases where there is frequencies their songs occupy, which this behaviour varies according level frequency yet well understood. We investigated hypothesis incr...

abhar-al asheghin is full of imageries. the active mind of roozbahan has rendered the work with a chain of connected similes . in this paper, inspired by the conceptual metaphor theory and in a framework called as “ domain simile” these similes were studied. in “ domain simile” , the elements of one domain or category are in concordance with elements of another domain;a simile is considered as ...

The underlying idea of latent semantic analysis (LSA) (Deerwester et al. 1990) is that the aggregate of all of the contexts in which a given word does and does not appear provides a set of constraints that determines the similarity of meanings for words, and sets of words, to each other (Landauer et al. 1998). Thus, when two terms occur in contexts of similar meaning, even if they never occur i...
