Plato in Theory of Philosopher-King believes that all of the members of ideal city-state, whether ruler or citizens, will attain happiness if the philosopher is the ruler. But there are paradoxes in the theory and the bases of the happiness are unstable too. In other words, Plato in his theory presents hierarchical dualities (Intelligible/Visible world, Episteme/ Doxa,True/ Untrue Or Shadow, …)...

The fall of Soviet Union and independence of republics of central Asia as well as South Caucasus have brought both chances and challenges for Iran. At first it seemed that Muslim republics, which broke from Soviet Union, might have brought great chances for Iran to promote her ideological claims and economic interests. Dreams of Islamic revolution in new independent central Asian republics invo...

This paper presents I-agent system (Intelligible agent system) to improve multi-agent system (MAS) interoperability. It employs ontology management system and its inference ability to assist semantic translation of message content. Also, it uses Java management extensions to manage and integrate heterogeneous multi-agent systems. Besides, the intelligible service description is provided to supp...

It is becoming ever more accepted that investigations of mind span the brain, body, and environment. To broaden the scope of what is relevant in such investigations is to increase the amount of data scientists must reckon with. Thus, a major challenge facing scientists who study the mind is how to make big data intelligible both within and between fields. One way to face this challenge is to st...

One use of text-to-speech synthesis (TTS) is as a component of speech-to-speech translation systems. The output of automatic machine translation (MT) can vary widely in quality, however. A synthetic voice that is extremely intelligible on naturally-occurring text may be far less intelligible when asked to render text that is automatically generated. In this paper, we compare the quality of synt...

extension of inter-turn fault in windings of pmsm can damage all parts of electrical systems, and in some cases in sensitive applications may lead to irreparable events. identification of such small faults at incipient steps can be so helpful to protect entire part of electrical system. in this paper, intelligent protection system is designed which is made by two major parts. in the first part ...

this research studies the application of hybrid algorithms for predicting the prices of crude oil. brent crude oil price data and hybrid intelligent algorithm (time delay neural network, probabilistic neural network, and fuzzy logic) were used to build intelligent decision support systems for predicting crude oil prices. the proposed model was able to predict future crude oil prices from august...
