ing the World As already mentioned, the WorldMarket of the agent-based model is actually a portal to an LCI database. This integration means that we can simulate a system in which we have a “lens” of complex dynamic behavior where agents interact with a static definition of the world.

Joining the debate on the structure of depression, S. R. H. Beach and N. Amir (2003) analyzed college students’ responses to 6 Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) items with predominantly somatic content and concluded that they identified a small latent taxon corresponding to involuntary defeat syndrome. An exact replication of these analyses yielded virtually identical taxometric results, but para...

government policies had been provided foreign direct investment (fdi) multiplier entry basis in iran in two late decade with effect on fdi absorbency effective ingredient. in this study, in order to set government policies effects outlook on the future situation of fdi supply in iran in two late decade, two forms of non-linear fdi supply functions has been simulated, by using direction line of ...

The aim with this paper is to design a high efficient sequential ATPG on single stack-at fault model. A new approach for sequential circuit test generation is proposed in this paper. With combining the advantage of logic simulation based ATPG and fault simulation based ATPG, higher fault coverage and shorter test sequential length are achieved for benchmark circuit instead of pure logic or faul...

This paper describes an approach for detection of the supply unbalance condition in induction motors by using data mining process. Simulation results have shown that a good indicator of the fault is the amplitude of the second harmonic of the supply frequency component (2f) in the signal obtained by the differences in supply current zero crossing instants. In the study, linear regression (LR), ...

This paper presents NetStep, a prototype for the distributed simulation of very large scale network simulations, such as the simulation of peer-to-peer applications. We use simulation micro-steps as a means for optimizing the overlap of communications and computations, without changing the original event-driven model. As a consequence, NetStep allows for the reuse of unmodified existing sequent...

The soil samples were collected from 170 sampling stations in an arid area in Shahrood and Damghan, characterized by prevalence of mining activity. The levels of Co, Pb, Ni, Cs, Cu, Mn, Sr, V, Zn, Cr, and Tl were recorded in each sampling location. A new method known as min/max autocorrelation factor (MAF) was applied for the first time in the environmental research works to de-correlate these ...

Knowledge of the stratigraphic architecture and geotechnical properties surficial soil sediments is essential for risk assessment. In Saguenay study area, Quaternary deposits consist a basal till layer heterogeneous post-glacial deposits. Considering setting type heterogeneity, multistep stochastic methodology developed 3D geological modelling quantification associated uncertainties. This adopt...
