Analyses and investigations on river flow behavior are major issues in design, operation and studies related to water engineering. Thus, recently the application of chaos theory and new techniques, such as chaos theory, has been considered in hydrology and water resources due to relevant innovations and ability. This paper compares the performance of chaos theory with Anfis model and discusses ...

Media richness theory (Daft & Lengel, 1986) has been one of the most cited, yet controversial, theories explaining media choices.

This experiment studied the effects of media richness on decision making in two-person teams using “new media” (i.e., computer-mediated and video communication). Media richness was varied based on multiplicity of cues and immediacy of feedback. Subjects perceived differences in richn...

The method used is in two categories, documentary and survey. The population comprises of the tenth and eleventh graders in the 2nd region of the ministry of ...

This essay discusses what the topical approaches to history—digital history and different concepts of historical temporality—have offer for media studies especially in terms defining a common theory history. The outcome is that since often essentially take plurality time layering forms granted, these new trends do not provide key ‘grand theory’ Whilst possibilities digital provides are substant...
