Education and Work online at: New and unprecedented standards for mathematical and computation literacy have emerged for the nation’s workforce. Generated by the science-intensive and digitally driven global economy, today’s careers in health science, engineering, value added manufacturing, and nano-fabrication require advanced mathematics. The importance of mathematical and computational compe...

Wind generation with an uncertain nature poses many challenges in grid integration and secure operation of power system. One of these operation problems is the unit commitment. Demand Response (DR) can be defined as the changes in electric usage by end-use customers from their normal consumption patterns in response to the changes in the price of electricity over time. Further, DR can be also d...

Let $mathcal{R}$ be a  commutative ring with identity, let $A$ and $B$ be two $mathcal{R}$-algebras and $varphi:Blongrightarrow A$ be an $mathcal{R}$-additive algebra homomorphism. We introduce a new algebra $Atimes_varphi B$, and give some basic properties of this algebra. Generalized $2$-cocycle derivations on $Atimes_varphi B$ are studied. Accordingly, $Atimes_varphi B$ is considered from th...

The paper presents a new Cyber Physical Stream algorithm for selecting a predominant item from very large collections of data. The algorithm effectively works for frequencies of the predominant items starting from about 2%. The algorithm is focused on querying massive data in Software-Defined Storage combined with Fuzzy indexing method. Experiment results show that Cyber Physical Stream algorit...

Research on ill-defined problem solving and design thinking is rich but spread across diverse disciplines. Some of the signature work had been done over previous decades by cognitive scientists while other work, such as research on design thinking, is more recent. During this special session, our goal is to present and discuss this literature with engineering educators who are interested in res...

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) increasingly attracts more researchers as well as industry attentions. Most of current SDN packet processing approaches classify packets based on matching a set of fields on the packet against a flow table and then applying an action on the packet. The authors argue that it is possible to simplify this mechanism using single-field classification and reduce the ...

background: evidence shows that in iran alcohol abuse rate may be of concern, especially among the youth. the mental and social health and addiction department of the ministry of health and medical education has designed a plan to prevent, treat, and rehabilitate the patients abusing alcohol in a time period of 2011‑2015. methods: in a 6‑month period, three guiding committees of experts in the ...
