Mapping the Scientific Structure of Iranian Brucellosis Researches Using the Co-authorship and Co-occurrence Network Analysis

Background and Objective: The evaluation of the publishing trend of articles in various scientific fields provides an insight into the efforts of researchers in the field of knowledge. Accordingly, the present study has evaluated and analyzed the scientific publications on brucellosis conducted by Iranian researchers using scientometrics methods and analysis of social networks. Methods: The pr...

The Effects of Guided and Unguided Semantic Mapping on Iranian EFL Learners’ Vocabulary and Grammar Knowledge

Teaching Vocabulary through Semantic Mapping as a Pre-reading Activity across Genders

This study has examined the effect of semantic mapping on learning vocabulary across genders. The researchers selected 120 intermediate students after the administration of a standard proficiency test. A vocabulary test was also used to measure the students’ vocabulary knowledge. The experimental group received semantic mapping in the pre-reading stage, butthe control group did not receive this...

Comparison of various knowledge-driven and logistic-based mineral prospectivity methods to generate Cu and Au exploration targets Case study: Feyz-Abad area (North of Lut block, NE Iran)

Motivated by the recent successful results of using GIS modeling in a variety of problems related to the geosciences, some knowledge-based methods were applied to a regional scale mapping of the mineral potential, special for Cu-Au mineralization in the Feyz-Abad area located in the NE of Iran. Mineral Prospectivity Mapping (MPM) is a multi-step process that ranks a promising target area for mo...

A clustering approach for mineral potential mapping: A deposit-scale porphyry copper exploration targeting

This work describes a knowledge-guided clustering approach for mineral potential mapping (MPM), by which the optimum number of clusters is derived form a knowledge-driven methodology through a concentration-area (C-A) multifractal analysis. To implement the proposed approach, a case study at the North Narbaghi region in the Saveh, Markazi province of Iran, was investigated to discover porphyry ...
