the main purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of trade openness on the employment and the real wage for the iranian food and beverage industries over the year 2007. for this purpose in this study, the ratio of export to production value has been considered as a proxy for trade openness and the main model has been estimated using a dynamic panel data (dpd) approach. the main findin...

Data mining for intrusion detection can be divided into several sub-topics, among which unsupervised clustering (which has controversial properties). Unsupervised clustering for intrusion detection aims to i) group behaviours together depending on their similarity and ii) detect groups containing only one (or very few) behaviour(s). Such isolated behaviours seem to deviate from the model of nor...

one main group of organic chemistry is related to the aromatic compounds. in the present work, we replaced the ch group of benzene by silicon and nitrogen analogues. then, density functional theory (dft) calculations were carried out for six-membered heterocyclic si-n aromatic rings. full geometry optimizations were performed in gas-phase, and at b3lyp level using 6-311++g(d,p) and cbsb7 basis ...
