self-knowledge is appeared to be an adaptive, dynamic , and integrative personality construct (ghorbani. et al. 2005b ). this study examined relations between se lf-know ledge ( integrative and disintegrative ), perspective-taking and the big five personality factors. as measured by self-knowledge (ghorbani. et al. 2003a ). personality (ipip). and perspective-taking (davis , 1983. in ghorbani ,...

in this paper we consider the second order nonlinear neutral delay partial difference equation $delta_ndelta_mbig(x_{m,n}+a_{m,n}x_{m-k,n-l}big)+ fbig(m,n,x_{m-tau,n-sigma}big)=b_{m,n}, mgeq m_{0},, ngeq n_{0}.$under suitable conditions, by making use of the banach fixed point theorem, we show the existence of uncountably many bounded positive solutions for the above partial difference equation...

Over the past decades, several techniques have been employed to improve the applicability of the metaheuristic optimization methods. One of the solutions for improving the capability of metaheuristic methods is the hybrid of algorithms. This study proposes a new optimization algorithm called HPBA which is based on the hybrid of two optimization algorithms; Big Bang-Big Crunch (BB-BC) inspired b...
