deformation pattern of the northeastern part of the iranian-arabian collision zone (i.e., mainly sanandaj-sirjan belt or zone) is the main concern of this paper. here, we investigate the stress distribution and displacement pattern of eghlid-deh bid area as affected by the position of zagros suture using a three dimensional mechanical model. the modeled area is located between the zagros thrust...

artificial immune systems (ais) can be defined as soft computing systems inspired by immune system of vertebrates. immune system is an adaptive pattern recognition system. ais have been used in pattern recognition, machine learning, optimization and clustering. feature reduction refers to the problem of selecting those input features that are most predictive of a given outcome; a problem encoun...
