As a novel optimization technique, chaos has gained much attention and some applications during the past decade. For a given energy or cost function, by following chaotic ergodic orbits, a chaotic dynamic system may eventually reach the global optimum or its good approximation with high probability. To enhance the performance of the local search method (LS), which is based on the generalized re...

1. introduction different research findings depict that rural areas of country are underdeveloped in spite of many efforts that have been done concerning rural development. various scientific ideas have been provided by researchers concerning rural underdevelopment conditions. in one of the approaches concerning country underdevelopment, internal factors have been introduced as original factors...

A qualitative study addressed the effect of concept mapping on the searching behavior of tenthgrade students engaged in research projects based on their instruction in a classroom-based genetics unit. The setting was an automated library of a private American school in Europe. Ten biology students were chosen by purposive sampling. Selection criteria, monitored by user profiles, included studen...

Human body tracking is useful in applications like medical diagnostic, human computer interface, visual surveillance etc. In this paper, a trajectory-learning algorithm using wavenet is proposed to track human body in real time without sacrificing accuracy. Human body is located within a small searching window using color and shape as heuristic. The location and size of the searching window are...

A computational cognitive model of Web navigation is a working computer system that simulates human users searching for items in a Web site. A fully working model must automate aspects of human perception, decision making and physical control. To successfully predict human behavior, these automated processes must be consistent with the cognitive and physical limitations of human users. Predicte...

Human milk has an important role in infants' psychological and immunological development. In addition to providing vital substances, some environmental contaminants, such as potentially toxic elements (PTEs), can be transmitted by human breast infants. However, studies monitored PTEs concentration milk; no metanalysis was conducted estimate the of milk. Therefore, this review aimed determine co...

The role of self-efficacy in different task and organizational settings has largely been highlighted, especially in searching for information by web users. The current research was conducted to reemphasize the mentioned role and also to show possible relationship existing between the sense of self-efficacy and success in information searching. A survey was conducted in a sample of post-graduate...

Ant Colony optimization is a method to find the shortest possible path from source to sink. ACO algorithms are inspired by the social behavior of ants that use stigmergic behavior to search the food. A chemical substance left by ants, called pheromone , help them to find the food .In this paper, we present the basic behavior of ants for searching food, preliminary study of different papers rela...
