Here we propose a registration process for population genetic isolates, usually geographic clusters of genetic disorders, based on the systematic search of rumors, defined as any type of account regardless of its reliability. Systematically ascertained rumors are recorded, and validated through a progressive process of pre-established steps. This paper outlines the conceptual basis for this app...

We present new distributed deterministic solutions to two communication problems in n-node ad-hoc radio networks: rumor gathering and multi-broadcast. In these problems, some or all nodes of the network initially contain input data called rumors, which have to be learned by other nodes. In rumor gathering, there are k rumors initially distributed arbitrarily among the nodes, and the goal is to ...

Purpose: Today, the use of social networks has grown a lot and therefore the present study was conducted with the aim of standardizing the rumors acceptance questionnaire among the social networks audiences. Methodology: The present study in terms of purpose was applied and in terms of implementation method was descriptive from type of correlation. The study population was Iranian active audie...

If you walk into a pharmacy with prescription for Merck’s ZOCOR, which contains simvastatin, the pharmacist will probably give product containing simvastatin made by another company. The dispense “generic” product. State generic substitution laws, passed in 1970s to help government save money switching patients cheaper drugs, either permit or require this substitution. But drug brand names -- s...

A new study by Ito and colleagues on page 7 may help explain why patients with a severe lung disease called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) fail to respond to steroid treatment. Ito and colleagues show that steroids require the enzyme HDAC2 (histone deacetylase 2) to block the inflammatory transcription factor NF-κB. In patients with COPD, HDAC2 activity is reduced, rendering cells...

We present a multiagent organization for data interpretation and fusion in which each agent uses an encapsulated Bayesian network for knowledge representation, and agents communicate by exchanging beliefs (marginal posterior probabilities) on shared variables. We call this organization an Agent-Encapsulated Bayesian Network (AEBN) system. Communication of probabilities among agents leads to rum...

In recent years, the widespread use of social media has facilitated the propagation of messages after disasters. Unfortunately, because the veracity of messages is often difficult to determine in a disaster situation, social media also facilitates the rapid diffusion of rumors. Current studies have examined why individuals post or transmit rumors on social media. However, investigating factors ...

The Maki-Thompson rumor model is defined by assuming that a population represented graph subdivided into three classes of individuals; namely, ignorants, spreaders and stiflers. A spreader tells the to any its nearest ignorant neighbors at rate one. At same rate, becomes stifler after contact with other neighbor spreaders, or In this work we study on random trees. As usual define critical param...
