Evolutionary theories of technological change and industrial dynamics give primary importance to interaction between heterogeneous agents, endowed with complementary assets and competencies. Accordingly, support to co-operative R&D is central to technology policy, as a mean for increasing system connectivity, triggering virtuous cycles of learning and promoting variety. The paper investigates t...

Two experiments tested the effect of co-occurrence of a target object with affective stimuli on automatic evaluation of the target when the relation between the target and the affective stimuli suggests that they have opposite valence. Participants learned about targets that ended an unpleasant noise or a pleasant music. The valence of such targets is opposite to the valence of the affective st...

the purpose of this research is to evaluate the effective factors on relational marketing in mature relationships between buyer-seller. transaction versus relationship has been considered as a very important topic for research. in this research, marketing strategies are evaluated from two perspectives. the first view is marketing mix management (transactional marketing). transactional marketing...

This paper investigates the stability analysis of fuzzy relational dynamic systems. A new approach is introduced and a set of sufficient conditions is derived which sustains the unique globally asymptotically stable equilibrium point in a first-order fuzzy relational dynamic system with sumproduct fuzzy composition. This approach is also investigated for other types of fuzzy relational composit...

The pandemic experience from Covid-19 has heightened the awareness of impact that relational poverty on quality life, especially older people’s lives. obligation to stay inside their homes protect them risk infection had indirect effect precipitating many elderly people into a state solitude which, at least in part, city been protecting until then. shown how citizens live shortage relationships...

To combine and query ordered data from multiple sources, one needs to handle uncertainty about the possible orderings. Examples of such “order-incomplete” data include integrated event sequences such as log entries; lists of properties (e.g., hotels and restaurants) ranked by an unknown function reflecting relevance or customer ratings; and documents edited concurrently with an uncertain order ...

We focus on the problem of predicting functional properties of the proteins corresponding to genes in the yeast genome. Our goal is to study the effectiveness of approaches that utilize all data sources that are available in this problem setting, including unlabeled and relational data, and abstracts of research papers. We study transduction and co-training for using unlabeled data. We investig...
