background: molecules expressed on the surface of infected erythrocytes (ie) with plasmodium falci-parum play important roles in malaria pathogenesis and immune evasion. some of these molecules are specific adhesive ligands mediating adhesion of ie to the vascular endothelium. in the current study, the antigens exposed on the surface of ie with different isolates and various binding subpopulati...

small precipitation with temporal and spatial variation of rainfall is the main responsible factors on flood occurrence in arid and semi arid regions. floods in their regions usually contain high concentration of sediments which when they are deposited on the surface of lands, they change the properties of soils of the area. in this research, the effect of floodwater spreading on physic-chemica...

monitoring of road traffic noise is becoming an important issue in modern cities due to the spreading of noise pollution and the extension of monitored areas. thus, the stratified spatial sampling is frequently applied to reduce the costs and provide adequate accuracy in order to obtain reliable noise maps. the definition of the strata in the sampling may refer to the legislative classification...

An eecient retrieval of a relatively small number of relevant cases from a huge case base is a crucial subtask of Case-Based Reasoning (CBR). In this article, we present Case Retrieval Nets, a memory model that has recently been developed for this task. The main idea is to apply a spreading activation process to the case memory structured as a Case Retrieval Net in order to retrieve cases being...

Associative theories of learning have been used to explain human contingency learning since the 1980’s. Recent findings have led several authors to claim that there is no evidence clearly showing the engagement of associative processes of acquisition or representation in human contingency learning, and to propose non-associative accounts. Priming techniques can detect associative representation...
