Ontology evaluation is concerned with ascertain two important aspects of ontologies: quality and correctness. The distinction between the two is attempted in this survey as a way to better approach ontology evaluation. The role that ontologies play on the semantic web at large has been has been argued to have catalyzed the proliferation of ontologies in existence. This has also presented the ch...

Dynamic structuring and functions of perisynaptic astrocytic processes and of the gap junction network within a single astrocyte are outlined. Motile perisynaptic astrocytic processes are generating microdomains. By contacting and retracting of their endfeet an appropriate receptor pattern is selected that modulates the astrocytic receptor sheath for its activation by neurotransmitter substance...

positive effects of tourism due to social, cultural and economic interest in becoming the first industry in the world, so that many countries and areas are by creating suitable infrastructure exploitation of the benefits sought the industry. for most of these countries an important source of tourism business, income, job creation and foreign exchange is considered. for this reason, to achieve t...

in this paper, a photonic crystal waveguide with point defects and lattice constant perturbations of +5%, -5% are being investigated. firstly waveguide structures with constant and specific parameters are being studied and photonic band gap diagrams for te/tm modes are depicted; then pulse propagation in the frequencies available in the band gap are shown. after that, effects of parameters like...

all researches and documents have a philosophical basis and since paradigm refers to the system of thinking, it can be basis for research patterns. despite of the various discussions on information system paradigms and code of ethics , non of them deal with paradigm of code of ethics. due to this gap the aim of this research is explaining the position of ethics paradigm in organizations code of...

We apply a model of preferences for information to the domain of decision making under risk and ambiguity. An uncertain prospect exposes an individual to an information gap. Gambling makes the missing information more important, attracting more attention to the information gap. To the extent that the uncertainty (or other circumstances) makes the information gap unpleasant to think about, an in...

Abstract Task-based language teaching has received increased attention in second language research. However, the combination of structured input-based approach and task-based language teaching has not been examined in relation to L2 grammar learning. To address this gap, the present study investigated how the structured input-based tasks with and without explicit information impacted learners’ ...
