There are many good books written on the topics of combat modeling and distributed simulation and most of them are used as references in this book, so why write another book on this topic? The reason is simple: while all other books in this domain successfully highlight special topics in detail none of them compiles the basic knowledge of all contributing fields that a simulation engineer needs...

In this paper, we propose an unsupervised and automated method to identify noun sense changes based on rigorous analysis of time-varying text data available in the form of millions of digitized books and millions of tweets posted per day. We construct distributional-thesauribased networks from data at different time points and cluster each of them separately to obtain word-centric sense cluster...

in order to identify and determine weed population in sugar beet fields, 92 fields from five counties of kermanshah province in iran were selected and evaluated at two growing stages (early may and late september) in 2014. the weed population indices were calculated by counting the number of weeds separated on othe basis of genus and species. for all fields, the latitude, longitude and altitude...

Introduction Constipation in children is a common health problem affecting 0.7% to 29.6% children across the world. Exact etiology for developing symptoms is not clear in children and the majority is considered to have functional constipation. The diagnosis is often a symptom-based clinical process. Recently developed Rome III diagnostic criteria looks promising, both in clinical and research f...

Introduction: Today different uses of multileaf collimators(MLC) in different techniques of radiotherapy are common. Due to the use of this facility it is possible to have maximum radiation dose to target volumes and minimum radiation dose to critical tissues surronding treatment volumes. But there are numerouse Linear accelerators in IRAN without MLC. Because of high price of...

the submitted articles to iranian congress of physiology and pharmacology could be analyzed for the distribution of research in different fields. based on field distribution of articles in 20th congress, it seems that a strategic planning for research development in the field of physiology and pharmacology is essential. it is also suggested to revise the congress scientific structure, and to us...

This paper presents a mathematical morphology based methodology to identify and extract several components on antique printed books in order to automatically build metadata. These components were previously classified into five different sets (drop capitals, stripes, figures, annotations and text matter) each one characterised by particular geometric features. Based on that assumption several n...
