Though the enormous impact of social media on our daily life, we observe a lack of information about those who create the contents. In this regard, author profiling tries to determine the profile category of authors by analysing their published texts. This paper presents a profile categorization system to solve the multi-class categorization problem. The system consists of two modules: the proc...

studying forest degradation through evaluation of soil nutrient concentrations, which reveals soil functioning within the ecosystem, is necessary for sustainable management of land resources. this research was conducted to understand the changes of soil nutrient, resulting from exploitive management using some soil features and their spatial pattern. in the mid-summer of 2014, two sites were se...

This study examined the impact of Clear Pronunciation 2 software on teaching English suprasegmental features, focusing on stress, rhythm and intonation. In particular, the software covers five topics in relation to suprasegmental features including consonant cluster, word stress, connected speech, sentence stress and intonation. Seven Iranian EFL learners participated in this study. The study l...

more than half of all hydrocarbon reservoirs are naturally fractured reservoirs (nfrs), in which production forecasting is a complicated function of fluid flow in a fracture-matrix system. modelling of fluid flow in nfrs is challenging due to formation heterogeneity and anisotropy. stress sensitivity and depletion effect on already-complex reservoir permeability add to the sophistication. horiz...

Web phishing is becoming an increasingly severe security threat in the web domain. Effective and efficient phishing detection is very important for protecting web users from loss of sensitive private information and even personal properties. One of the keys of phishing detection is to efficiently search the legitimate web page library and to find those page that are the most similar to a suspic...

In this study, we extend the mechanistic equilibrium saltation model of Ashida and Michiue (1972) for nearly horizontal sand beds to the case of spatial nonequilibrium sand transport, which allows us to calculate sand transport rates over varying mildly-sloped topographies. Our model incorporates a generalized description of the reduction of the Shields stress within the saltation layer due to ...
