By appearance of social media, people are coming to be able to transmit information easily on a personal level. However, because users of social media generally spend little time on describing information, low-quality texts are transmitted and it blocks the spread of information. On transmitted texts in social media, commas and linefeeds are inserted incorrectly, and it becomes a factor of low-...

health systems research aims to understand the governance of health systems (i.e. how health systems function and perform and how their actors interact with each other). this can be achieved by applying innovative methodologies and concepts that are going to capture the complexity and dynamics of health systems when they are affected by shocks. the capacity of health systems to adapt to shocks ...

This paper articulates the logic of computational organizational modeling as a strategy for theory construction and testing in the field of organizational communication networks. The paper introduces, Blanche, an objectoriented simulation environment that supports quantitative modeling and analysis of the evolution of organizational networks. Blanche relies on the conceptual primitives of attri...

Cluster analysis for web social networks becomes an important and challenging problem because of the rapid development of the Internet community like YouTube, Facebook and TravelBlog. To accurately partition web social networks, we propose a hierarchical clustering algorithm called HCUBE based on blockmodeling which is particularly suitable for clustering networks with complex link relations. H...

Trust is one of the most important factors that influence the successful application of network service environments, such as e-commerce, wireless sensor networks, and online social networks. Computation models associated with trust and reputation have been paid special attention in both computer societies and service science in recent years. In this paper, a dynamical computation model of repu...

there is a complicated relation between cold flat rolling parameters such as effective input parameters of cold rolling, output cold rolling force and exit thickness of strips. in many mathematical models, the effect of some cold rolling parameters has been ignored and the outputs have not a desirable accuracy. in the other hand, there is a special relation among input thickness of strips, the ...

Background: Social networking has a dramatically increasing trend among adolescents. By creating novel models of content production, distribution, and reception, this space has introduced opportunities and threats for adolescents, which must be understood in relation with their health status. This study was conducted with the aim of describing the psychosocial experiences of Iranian adolescents...

This paper discusses the patterns of network dynamics within a multi-cultural online collaborative learning environment. It analyses the interaction of participants (both students and facilitators) within a discussion board that was established as part of a three-month online collaborative course. The study employs longitudinal probabilistic social network analysis (SNA) to identify the pattern...
