lack of trust is one of the key bottle necks in e-commerce development. nowadays many advanced technologies are trying to address the trust issues in e-commerce. one among them suggests using suitable user interfaces. this paper investigates the functionality and capabilities of 3d graphical user interfaces in regard to trust building in the customers of next generation of b2c e-commerce websit...

In this paper we use a computer model of social capital to explore and develop a computational social theory of the anthropological or interpretive notion of the sub jectivity (Ortner 2005). The cultural sub jectivity is a social theory of the reflexive actor that is historically situated in a material and cultural context. It is important for computational social science to begin developing to...

Computational and mathematical modeling has revealed that cultural evolution may have played a key role in the evolution of language. In this chapter, I explore the hypothesis that processes of cultural transmission have to a large extent shaped language to !t domain-general constraints deriving from the human brain. An implication of this view is that much of the neural hardware involved in la...

Contextual student modeling, also called cultural profiling or cultural modeling, refers to the process of building a computational representation of the cultural identity and background of a student. Previous works have been done that identify and use certain environmental dimensions for such a model. In this paper, a new approach is proposed that uses additional dimensions, and incorporates c...

conclusions based on the location of detected rccs in the structure of hbv proteins, it was found that these rccs may have a critical role in correct folding of hbv proteins and can be considered as drug targets. the results of this study provide new and deep perspectives about structure of hbv proteins for further researches and designing new drugs for treatment of hbv. results the pfam search...

dense medium cyclone is a high capacity device that is widely used in coal preparation. it is simple in design but the swirling turbulent flow, the presence of medium and coal with different density and size fraction and the presence of the air-core make the flow pattern in dmcs complex. in this article the flow pattern simulation of dmc is performed with computational fluid dynamics and fluent...

The speed and transformative power of human cultural evolution is evident from the change it has wrought on our planet. This chapter proposes a human computation program aimed at (1) distinguishing algorithmic from non-algorithmic components of cultural evolution, (2) computationally modeling the algorithmic components, and amassing human solutions to the non-algorithmic (generally, creative) c...

FORTHCOMING GOVERNMENT REVIEW AND GOVERNMENT PARTICIPANTS: 17 Dec 2007 -at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. A one-day technical review to be attended by the review team of Dr. Kenneth Boff (formerly Chief Scientist AFRL/HE, currently consultant to AOARD), Dr. Rebecca Goolsby (ONR Program Mgr. & Cultural Anthropologist), Dr. Fariba Fahroo (AFOSR Program Mgr. Computational Mathematics),...

Adaptive networks are a novel class of dynamical networks whose topologies and states coevolve. Many real-world complex systems can be modeled as adaptive networks, including social networks, transportation networks, neural networks and biological networks. In this paper, we introduce fundamental concepts and unique properties of adaptive networks through a brief, non-comprehensive review of re...

many diseases are related to cerebrospinal .uid (csf) hydrodynamics. therefore, understanding the hydrodynamics of csf .ow and intracranial pressure is helpful for obtaining deeper knowledge of pathological processes and providing better treatments. furthermore, engineering a reliable computational method is promising approach for fabricating in vitro models which is essential for inventing gen...
