Designers across a variety of domains engage in many of the same creative activities. Since much creativity stems from using old solutions in novel ways, we believe that case-based reasoning can be used to explain many creative design processes.

In this paper, we propose a completely agent-based approach for Information Gathering on a information network with a large number of distributed heterogeneous sources, such as Internet. Locating and accessing information in such a large distributed system which changes dynamically is challenging and is most suitable for agent-based solutions. As one agent cannot have all the necessary knowledg...

in this paper, based on sinh-cosh method and sinh-gordon expansion method,families of solutions of (2+1)-dimensional breaking soliton equation are obtained.these solutions include jacobi elliptic function solution, soliton solution,trigonometric function solution.

Background and Objectives: Hand hygiene is a crucial measure for preventing healthcare-related infections. Surgical scrub is an important factor in the safety and success of a surgical operation. The aim of this study was to comparatively evaluate effectiveness of some conventional surgical antiseptic solutions, and to identify the most effective one. Methods: Effectiveness of alcohol-based s...

Speech-based technology is a useful alternative to traditional input techniques such as the keyboard and mouse. For people with disabilities that hinder use of traditional input devices, a hands-free speech-based interaction solution is highly desirable. Various speech-based navigation techniques have been discussed in the literature and employed in commercial software applications. Among them,...

this paper presents a new nonlinear mathematical model to solve a cell formation problem which assumes that processing time and inter-arrival time of parts are random variables. in this research, cells are defined as a queue system which will be optimized via queuing theory. in this queue system, each machine is assumed as a server and each part as a customer. the grouping of machines and parts...
