The exponential growth of multimedia information and the development of various communication media generated new problems at various levels including the rate of flow of information, problems of storage and management. The difficulty which arises is no longer the existence of information but rather the access to this information. When designing multimedia information retrieval system, it is ap...

in most of the multi-criteria decision making problems, it is important to have necessary information about relative importance of each criteria. in this group of problems, weights measure the relative importance of preferences of each criteria in comparison with the other decision making criteria. in this research, the nise method has been used for mapping mean-variance efficient frontier. nis...

In this paper we describe a model of the process by which people solve problems using information visualization systems. The model was based on video analysis of forty dyads who performed information visualization tasks in an experiment. We examined the following variables: focused questions vs. free data discovery, remote vs. collocated collaboration, and systems judged to have high and low tr...

abstract     crop residues are well known for their chemical (allelopathic) effects on crops. the allelopathic potential of the aqueous extracts and chopped residual of sorghum (sorghum bicolor l.) on germination, seedling growth, relative water content, seedling dry weight, seedling length and antioxidant enzyme activity namely catalase (cat), peroxidase (pod) and superoxide dismutase (sod) of...
