the aim of this paper is two folds: 1- to compare the level of technological advances in iran's automotive industry with that of its competitors globally. 2- to compare the relative technological advances of iran’s auto industry with other sectors of the iranian economy. to measure the level of technological advances, we have used the atlas model of technology. the results indicate that th...

some physical attributes of two common types of iranian garlic cloves (white and pink) were identified and compared. a machine vision system was used to determine three di-mensions and both major and minor projected areas of garlic cloves at a moisture content of 42.4% w. b. the geometric mean diameter and sphericity were calculated, as well as the unit mass and volume of cloves were measured. ...

fish larvae have several sensory systems that are functional at or soon after hatching and then are developed further during larval and juvenile stages. this study was conducted to investigate development of the eye in rutilus kutum , based on histological and allometric growth analysis during early developmental stages up to 35 day post hatching with emphasis on retinal morphology. for this pu...

Since the 21st century, with the development of complexity science and the advancement in computer information technology, there are unprecedented vision and technological means for mankind: the most advanced product of biological evolution on this planet. The success of the Human Genome Project opens up a new way for a more comprehensive understanding of modern medicine and the treatment of hu...

The vision of autonomic computing raises fundamental questions about how we interact with computer systems. In this paper, we attempt to make a start at addressing these questions by outlining their character and proposing some strategies for understanding them better. We take systems management as an activity in which to explore these issues and examine the problem of how we may make autonomic...

It will be shown that the umbrella term “nanotechnology” reveals the endeavor of recent engineering sciences and science-based technologies to find a fundamental technology, in other words: a root or core technology. This is linked to the leading and exciting vision of a specific kind of reductionism, namely technological reductionism, which has not yet been perceived by the philosophy of scien...

The new U.S. Army vision contends that heuristics are practical tools for achieving innovation. Overcoming complex terrain and adaptive hybrid threats in Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan requires technological innovation. Supportability issues result from modifying deployed weapon systems with new technology for countering these types of threats. Collecting detailed data on deployed weapon systems ...

EC will not stay at only e-commerce but be evolved into other ECs such as electronic services for communities, and further, into electronic services for cultures. Present providers deliver mutually independent services, but within very short time, these services will be combined and collaborated over the network into single services just like an idea of global computing. In future, the services...
