Background: As social networks are increasingly used, the research published through social networks should be evaluated. Hence, new measures were employed to examine the scientific effectiveness of social networks. The measurements taken from social networks, called Altmetrics, provide an opportunity to evaluate research. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the presence of indexed artic...

by extending wireless networks and because of their different nature, some attacks appear in these networks which did not exist in wired networks. security is a serious challenge for actual implementation in wireless networks. due to lack of the fixed infrastructure and also because of security holes in routing protocols in mobile ad hoc networks, these networks are not protected against attack...

Background: Knowing the development pattern of children’s language is applicable in developmental psychology. Network models of language are helpful for the identification of these patterns.  Objectives: We examined the small-world properties of featured semantic networks of developing children. Materials & Methods: In this longitudinal study, the featured semantic networks of children aged 1...

in the present study iran’s rice imports trend is forecasted, using artificial neural networks and econometric methods, during 2009 to 2013, and their results are compared. the results showed that feet forward neural network leading with less forecast error and had better performance in comparison to econometric techniques and also, other methods of neural networks, such as recurrent networks a...

this study tries to provide a virtual image of the structure and design of facenama, cloob, facebook and google+ social networks. the main question in this study is which variable or variables are differ in the structure and design of social networks of iranian and non-iranian. content analysis has been used in this study. content analysis is a research method to describe the objective, systema...

understanding the genetic regulatory networks, the discovery of interactions between genes, and understanding regulatory processes in a cell at the gene level, is one of the major goals of system biology and computational biology. modeling gene regulatory networks, describing the actions of the cells at the molecular level and is used in medicine and molecular biology applications such as metab...

abstract evapotranspiration as one of the important elements in agriculture has a considerable role in water resource management. therefore, using a more exact estimation method is an essential step of agricultural development, especially in arid semi-arid area. in this research, in order to exact estimate of garlic evapotranspiration using lysimeteric data, an artificial neural network (ann) m...

the intelligent transportation system (its) provides wireless and mobile communication between vehicles and infrastructure to improve the safety of transportation and make the journey more enjoyable. this system consists of many fixed and mobile nodes (vehicles, trains, vessels, air planes), wireless and wired telecommunication technologies to exchange information between mobile nodes or betwee...

evaporation is one of the most important components of hydrologic cycle.accurate estimation of this parameter is used for studies such as water balance,irrigation system design, and water resource management. in order to estimate theevaporation, direct measurement methods or physical and empirical models can beused. using direct methods require installing meteorological stations andinstruments ...

Social networks, which emerged due to the rapid development of modern telecommunications and information technologies that led to the emergence of the Internet, can be viewed as a phenomenon of the information society. In a short time, there has been both quantitative and qualitative growth of social networks, which have become a common phenomenon in our life and the dominant way of communicati...
