The Iranian plateau has been known as one of the most seismically active regions of the world, and it frequently suffers destructive and catastrophic earthquakes that cause heavy loss of human life and widespread damage. Earthquakes are regularly felt on all sides of the region. Prediction of the occurrence location of the future earthquakes along with determining the probability percentage can...

Because in the theory of economics, the value of a company is based on the current value of future cash flows and profit is used as a substitute for cash flows, profit forecasting is of particular importance. In the research, the effect of rounding and revision in predicting earnings per share on the investors' attention in Iran has been investigated. After designing the investors' attention as...

The increased use of botnets as an attack tool and the awareness attackers have of blocking lists leads to the question of whether we can effectively predict future bot locations. To that end, we introduce a network quality that we term uncleanliness: an indicator of the propensity for hosts in a network to be compromised by outside parties. We hypothesize that unclean networks will demonstrate...

The relationship between the gyre-scale circulation of the North Atlantic, represented by air pressure near to the centre of the sub-tropical gyre, and sea level measured at the eastern boundary of the ocean has been investigated using records commencing in the middle of the 18th century. These time series are twice as long as those employed in an earlier study of this relationship. Near-contin...

The shoreline is one of the most important features on earth’s surface. It is valuable to a diverse user community. But the dynamic nature of the shorelinemakes it difŽ cult to be represented in a naturally dynamic style and to be utilized in applications.The ofŽ cially usedshoreline,for examplein nauticalcharts,is the so-calledtide-coordinatedshoreline. It is also the shoreline that makes the ...

background and objectives: over the last decade, climate change has been one of the most challenging issues in the scientific papers. studying the impacts of climate change on crop productivity at regional scale will depend on the right estimate of future climate. this estimation is being implemented by climate models and most of them by general circulation models (gcms). this study aims at pre...

Ever since the first fishermen ventured into the sea, tides have been the subject of intense human observation. As a result computational models and ‘tide predicting machines’, mechanical computers for predicting tides have been developed over 100 years ago. In this work we propose a statistical model for short-term prediction of sea levels at high tide in the tide influenced part of the Weser ...
