Our research concerns psychometric data coming from the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) test. MMPI is one of the most frequently used personality tests in clinical mental health as well as psychopathology (mental and behavioral disorders). We are developing the Copernicus system, a tool for the analysis and classification of MMPI profiles of patients with mental disorders. In...

One hundred and forty-four years elapsed between the publication of Copernicus’s De Revolutionibus, which opened the great scientific revolution of the XVII century, and the publication of Newton’s Principia, the final synthesis that brought that revolution to a spectacularly successful end. During those hundred and forty-four years, the basic grammar for understanding the physical world change...

In this paper, we construct surfaces of revolution with constant mean curvature H = c and minimal surfaces of revolution in hyperbolic 3-space H(−c) of constant sectional curvature −c. It is shown that surfaces of revolution with constant mean curvature H = c in H(−c) tend toward the catenoid, the minimal surface of revolution in Euclidean 3-space E as c → 0. Minimal surfaces of revolution in H...

A good understanding of the quality digital elevation model (DEM) is a perquisite for various applications. This study investigates accuracy three most recently released 1-arcsec global DEMs (GDEMs, Copernicus, NASA and AW3D30) in five selected terrains China, using more than 240,000 high-quality ICESat-2 (Ice, Cloud land Elevation Satellite) ALT08 points. The results indicate GDEMs have simila...

the present paper studies the objectives and functions of constructing the new towns before and after the revolution in iran. before the revolution, new towns were established based on political – bureaucratic objectives, for the operation of huge oil resources and affiliated industries, to accommodate the workforce in industrial complexes, to implement the policy of regional decentralization...

The sharing economy will blur the distinctions between renting and owning a wide variety of durable products. The first great entrepreneurial (Neolithic) revolution transformed hunter-gatherers into fixed agriculturalists. The second (Industrial) revolution dramatically reduced the costs of owning products. The third (Transactions Costs) revolution will reduce the costs of exchange, fostering a...
