Abstract Application of numerical models is useful in coastal sediment studies; however, it is essential to calibrate the models in an appropriate method. Empirical equations, historical satellite imagery and other coastal data and evidence are proposed for the models calibration in the vicinity of coastal indicators around the site of projects. In this study, coastal sediment process of K...

There is heightened optimism about the potential of 3D visualization software as an alternative learning resource in radiology education. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 3D visualization software on students' learning of oral radiographic interpretation from 2D radiographic images. Fourth-year dental students underwent a learning intervention phase of radiographic int...

in this research, rehydration behavior of dried figs was studied at different temperatures (25, 60, 70, 80, and 90°c). the rehydration kinetic was examined using the four most frequently used empirical models, namely, weibull, peleg, first-order, and exponential association models. the weibull model gave the highest coefficient of determination (r2) and the lowest values of root mean square err...

the present study is an attempt toward evaluating the performance of portfolios and assets selecting using modified mean-variance models by utilizing a non-parametric efficiency analysis tool, namely data envelopment analysis (dea). huge amounts of money are being invested in financial market. as a result, portfolio performance evaluation has created a great deal of interest among people. we kn...

recently, tremendous studies have been made on psychopathology and treatment of social anxiety disorder. according these studies, several models of etiology have been developed for sad. some concepts that studied include temperamental and genetic factors, environmental factors and learning experiences, social skill deficits, cognitive factors, cultural issues and evolutionary factors. etiologic...

conclusions: the results of the present research indicates that the emphasis of the his evaluation moves from technical subjects to human and organizational subjects, and from objective to subjective issues. therefore, this issue entails more familiarity with more qualitative evaluation methods. in most of the reviewed studies, the main focus has been laid on the necessity of using multi-method...

there are different models for mapping and evaluation of desertification condition, such as global fao_unep model. there are also several models for evaluation of desertification in iran. in this study, tow fol/owing methods was used: 1-icd method, (iranian classification of desertification). 2- micd method, (modified iranian classification of desertification). in this research, at first, these...

in this paper, with studying existing e-readiness evaluation models and their well-known drawbacks and advantages, we propose a new comprehensive classification for e-readiness evaluation parameters. with this aim in mind; at the beginning we identify and study all popular e-readiness evaluation parameters in international, national, industrial, organizational and individual levels, then we cat...
