The classic account of the load theory (LT) of attention suggests that increasing cognitive load leads to greater processing of task-irrelevant stimuli due to competition for limited executive resource that reduces the ability to actively maintain current processing priorities. Studies testing this hypothesis have yielded widely divergent outcomes. The inconsistent results may, in part, be rela...

in the present study, the soil and water assessment tool (swat 2000) model was tested on both a monthly and yearly basis and applied to the kordan watershed, located in iran. the main objective of the research was to assess the accuracy of the model in sediment-yield and surface water bicarbonate concentration estimation. the attributes of sub-watersheds, tributary channels and the main channel...

management needs qualitative and comprehensive information for decision making. managers are always searching for useful information in order to reach their firm's goals and strategies. the development in technology, globalization and focusing on costumers needs has changed the information that managers need to maintain their position in a competitive environment and take advantage of prof...

In recent years, the Edge Computing (EC) paradigm has emerged as an enabling factor for developing technologies like Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G networks, bridging gap between Cloud services end-users, supporting low latency, mobility, location awareness to delay-sensitive applications. An increasing number solutions in EC have employed machine learning (ML) methods perform data classificat...

To cope with the challenge of managing numerous computing devices, humongous data volumes and models in Internet-of-Things environments, Edge Computing (EC) has emerged to serve latency-sensitive compute-intensive applications. Although EC paradigm significantly eliminates latency for predictive analytics tasks by deploying computation on edge nodes’ vicinity, large scale infrastructure still h...

Abstract Earth System Models (ESMs) are complex systems used in weather and climate studies generally built from different independent components responsible for simulating a specific realm (ocean, atmosphere, biosphere, etc.). To replicate the interactions between these processes, ESMs typically use coupling libraries that manage synchronization field exchanges individual components, which run...
