recognizing of river flow pattern, deposition and erosion areas in meanders is highly important. despite the limitations of the physical models in laboratory investigation of flow pattern in meanders, mathematical models can be helpful. in this research, rsm and les turbulence models have been compared on sharp river bend of a laboratory flume using fluent software. the laboratory flume is a sh...

Traditional mathematical models of photosynthesis are based on mass action kinetics of light reactions. This approach requires the modeller to enumerate all the possible state combinations of the modelled chemical species. This leads to combinatorial explosion in the number of reactions although the structure of the model could be expressed more compactly. We explore the use of rule-based model...

Real options theory suggests that managerial flexibility embedded within irreversible investments can account for a significant value in project valuation. Although the argument has become the dominant focus of capital investment theory over decades, yet recent survey literature in capital budgeting indicates that corporate practitioners still do not explicitly apply real options in investment ...

In this paper, a knowledge-based system is developed to teach students in a basic mathematical course how to solve problems. First, the system recognizes handwritten mathematical expressions. Then, it understands the questions, interprets the expressions, and finally, solves the problems. In addition, two mathematical topics are addressed: differentiation and finding a general term in a series ...
