FIPA (Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents) is a standardisation organisation promoting development and specification of agent technologies. Until now FIPA specifications have not been considering mobile ad hoc networks. In such environments agents depend on flexible discovery mechanisms to take advantage of services provided by other agents. This paper describes the major steps that led ...

Urban spaces are considered as important elements in the urban structure. These spaces are scenes in which the general activities of urban life take place and they are able to provide an opportunity for the development of innovations for the people and to act as a recreational and constructive environment in an urban collection to provide a setting while every human being would need to perceive...

The Persian Gulf is part of an asymmetric foreland basin related to the Zagros Orogen. It has been episodically flooded for much of its history which are reflected in sedimentary successions. The evaluation of this succession from depositional trend view, in central Persian Gulf during Paleocene-Eocene, is the aim of this article. The sedimentary rocks physical characteristics effects on seismi...

One of the most important breakthroughs in modern biology was discovering that double chain small or large RNA molecules are able to regulate gene expression. Formerly it was thought RNAs have just two broad functions in cells: Single-stranded messenger RNAs (mRNAs) are vital intermediaries in gene expression, transmitting information between DNA and protein. Ribosomal and transfer RNAs have st...

one of the high citation researches surrounding model of transformational leadership's impact on organizational citizenship behavior has been conducted by podsakoff, mackenzie, moorman and fetter (1990). using structural equation modeling, current study aims at testing this model and also 4 other models in schools on a sample including 652 teachers and 131 principals. results showed that p...

Current researches in theory of mind focus on developing the model of mind by studying the human mental processes such as model of how human learns the language, how one understands the language and objects, how one represent the knowledge in the brain, etc. As a result, the model can be applied to a robot and it can think like humans. The main basic thing that underlies in the theory of mind i...

Numerous behavioral theories and models include “environment” as a construct. For example, social cognitive theory posits that behavior is influenced by individual factors in combination with the social and physical environment (Bandura, 1986). A social ecologic perspective acknowledges multiple levels of behavioral determinants, including individual, interpersonal, organizational, and communit...
