due to its complexity and destructive nature, convection has been subject of many studies and researches among weather phenomena throughout the world. scientists have attempted for decades to generate different types of models to provide the possibility of abating or, at least, reducing convective weather phenomena effects on people’s lives. in south or southwest of iran, people are familiar wi...

Fifteen populations of Pimpinellifoliaeae section from the species; Rosa pimpinellifolia, R. hemispherica, R. foetida and a new species, R. abrica, were collected from eight provinces of Iran and were studied on the basis of their morphological characters. In each population five plants were randomly selected and some branches were harvested in spring and autumn for studying their vegetative an...

the partial differential equations for water flow and solute transport in a two-dimensional saturated domain are rendered discrete using the finite difference technique; the resulting system of algebraic equations is solved using a dynamic programming (dp) method. the advantage of the dp algorithm is that the problem is converted from solving an algebraic system of order nc(nl-1) nc(nl-1) into...

one of the most concerning issues for researchers is to predict the shape and dimensions of the scour pit nearhydraulic structures such as the base of bridges, weirs, valves and stilling basins due to both financial and humanhazards induced by destruction of the structure. as the scour issue has its own complexity in relation to themultiplicity of effecting factors on it, in this study therefor...

We present our work in progress on the Lighthouse framework, a multifaceted web-based user interface to a taxonomy of numerical software. The taxonomy provides an organized anthology of software components and programming tools needed for the construction of highly-optimized matrix algebra software. It builds upon and improves existing collections of numerical software, adding tools for the tun...

Fault detection is vital to wireless sensor networks since node death is a typical fault. One of the central challenges is to design a detection algorithm which has good performance in energy efficiency. In this paper, we propose an intelligent fault detection algorithm based on numerical taxonomy. Firstly, all nodes are divided into clusters according to their geographical distribution. Beside...
