Nowadays, Spatial and social inequalities are universal and expanding phenomenon. Identification and spatial analysis of social, economic and ecological inequalities in metropolises is one of the essential and basic proceeding for planning and achieving urban sustainable development. The present research method is descriptive-analytical and using 13 sub criteria based on three main criteria of ...

Dynamic Graph Analytic Framework (DYGRAF) is a domain agnostic framework from which data alignment, data association, and layered multi-modal network analysis can be performed. Past installments of DYGRAF have been able to provide analytic insight for small and medium-sized data sets, however scalability becomes problematic as the amount of collected data increases. In this work, we discuss ext...

The paper addresses the issue of including textual and network information into predictive mod-elling. Related work suggest models for both analytic fields separately. Considering a “Big Data World” where unstructured information and the often times neglected network information, both pose analytic challenges we aim at integrating both in a predictive model. While the model states a general app...

In a network robot system, a robot and a sensor network are integrated smoothly to develop their advantages and benefit from each other. Robot localization, sensor network calibration and environment mapping are three coupled issues to be solved once network robot system is introduced into a service environment. In this article, the problem of simultaneous localization, calibration and mapping ...

Learning in social settings is a complex phenomenon that involves multiple processes at individual and collective levels of agency. Thus, a richer understanding of learning in socio-technical networks will be furthered by analytic methods that can move between and coordinate analyses of individual, small group and network level phenomena. This paper outlines our implementation of an analytic fr...

In this paper we show that the weighted least square (WLS) and the logarithmic least square (LLS) of various methods to solve the mutual evaluation network (MEN) system including the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the Analytic Network Process (ANP), are superior to others. Both methods can solve MEN problems without any restrictions of the structure matrix of MEN. We also show that the WL...

Technology is viewed as one of the major factors determining the competitiveness position of an industry. For the sake of technology competitiveness; however, countries need to encourage private firms to develop technology R&D projects. How to select proper R&D projects to be supported for governments is very important policy. In this study we propose a hierarchical dependence structure for ITD...

vermicomposting, or using worms along with bacteria and fungi to recycle agricultural and organic wastes into nutrient-rich bio-fertilizer, has a variety of uses including protecting plants from disease. through semi-structured in-person interviews, vermicompost practitioners across kermanshah province of iran were surveyed to determine the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (swo...

The problem of representing the visual signal in the harmonic space guaranteeing a complete characterization of its 2D local structure is investigated. Specifically, the efficacy of anisotropic versus isotropic filtering is analyzed with respect to general phase-based metrics for early vision attributes. We verified that the spectral information content gathered through channeled oriented frequ...
