the objective of this study is evaluation of topographic wetness index (twi) using attraction model in northern of fars province. the first attraction model was used to enhance the spatial resolution of digital elevation model (dem). in this research to estimate of value of sub-pixels neighboring pixels, touching and quadrant neighboring models were used. after manufacturing output images for s...

Keywords: Nonlinear equations Iterative methods Order of convergence Basins of attraction a b s t r a c t A numerical comparison is performed between three methods of third order with the same structure, namely BSC, Halley's and Euler–Chebyshev's methods. As the behavior of an iterative method applied to a nonlinear equation can be highly sensitive to the starting points, the numerical comparis...

Due to the growing labour cost in China, many organisations are reconsidering their offshoring decisions of manufacturing based on the deprived competitive advantage of cheap workforces. In light of these circumstances, Russia can be seen as an alternative venue with lower wages and improved governmental policy. In order to support the statement, this article provides comparative country analys...

Information and Learning in Oligopoly: An Experiment This paper presents an experiment on learning in repeated games, which complements the analysis of players’ actual choices with data on the information acquisition process they follow. Subjects play a repeated Cournot oligopoly, with limited a priori information. The econometrics hinges on a model built upon Experience Weighted Attraction lea...

In herbivorous insects with more than 1 host plant, attraction to host odor could conceptually be mediated by common compounds, by specific compounds released by each plant or by combinations of common and specific compounds. We have compared the attraction of female grapevine moth, Lobesia botrana, with specific and common (shared) odors from 2 different plants: a wild host (Daphne gnidium) an...

Identity-based conceptualizations of sexual orientation may not account adequately for variation in young women's sexuality. Sexual minorities fare worse in psychosocial markers of wellbeing (i.e., depressive symptoms, anxiety, self esteem, social support) than heterosexual youth; however, it remains unclear whether these health disparities exclusively affect individuals who adopt a sexual mino...

Competitive accretion, a process to explain the origin of the IMF, occurs when stars in a common gravitational potential accrete from a distributed gaseous component. Stars located near the centre of the potential benefit from the gravitational attraction of the full potential and accrete at much higher rates than do isolated stars. We show that concerns recently raised on the efficiency of com...

introduction: medical tourism marketing is currently known as a competitive and profitable industry throughout the world. it is considered as a modern field of developed tourism. appropriate provision of information would increase the awareness of medical tourists about the capabilities of health services. this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of information mechanisms on attracting ...

one of the most visible aspects of a forest stand structure is the spatial patterns of trees. competition affects on forest structure and its understanding is important, when the purpose of forest management is to imitate the dynamic of natural ecosystems. for this purpose, an unmanaged intact forest was selected with 26 hectares area. all chestnut leaf oak (quercus castaneifolia) trees with a ...
