Currently there is a diversity of tools for agent-based simulation, which can be applied to the understanding of social phenomena. Describing this kind of phenomena with a visual language can facilitate the use of these tools by users who are not necessarily experts in computer programming, but in social sciences. With this purpose, we propose to define such visual language, which is based on w...

Introduction The problem addressed in this paper is establishment of semantic invariants to serve as a kind of metalanguage of ”senses” valid for the natural language systems under consideration. We see the key objective of natural language processing in developing multilingual facilities of computer access to knowledge contained in texts. Our experience in design and implementation of natural ...

The aim of computer simulation studies is to answer research questions by means of experiments. For providing reliable evidence, the procedure of the study needs to be aligned with the question and the steps of the study need to be adjusted and combined accordingly. Supporting this process is challenging as the identification, customization, and combination of adequate tools and techniques for ...

in this study, first energy absorption of axial and bending loading is considered. next, thin walled structures under oblique loading are investigated using abaqus computer simulation, where 180 different cases are simulated. simulation results of the thin walled structures under oblique loading were compared with the experimental results of nagel, and good agreement was perceived. simulation r...

This study aimed to investigate the effect of using vocabulary software on the vocabulary learning of Iranian EFL learners. Participants of the study were 54 intermediate-level students (23 males and 31 females) learning English as a foreign language in Mehr Institute in Izeh who were selected after taking the Nelson English Language Test as a proficiency test. They were randomly divided into t...

With the developments of new technologies appearing very quickly, the attention has been focused more on technology than learning. English centers and institutes have mostly been busy accommodating new programs and technologies and hence have not spent enough time to evaluate the CALL programs and technologies employed to find their affordances and limitations. The present study was an attempt ...

cement powder size classification efficiency significantly affects quality of final product and extent of energy consumption in clinker grinding circuits. static and dynamic or high efficiency air separators are being used widely in closed circuit with multi-compartment tube ball mills, high pressure grinding rolls (hpgr) and more recently vertical roller mills (vrm) units in cement plants to c...

As neural systems become large and complex, sophisticated tools are needed to support effective model development and efficient simulation processing. Initially, during model development, rich graphical interfaces linked to powerful programming languages and component libraries are the primary requirement. Later, during model simulation, processing efficiency is the primary concern. Workstation...
