In this paper, the Shazand catchment area have been simulated using the geographical information system (GIS) with an accuracy of 10 × 10 meters and various parameters required in the form of digital layers in the ArcGIS environment. Then, using the EPM model, the erosion zoning map of this basin located around the Saveh dam was prepared and its annual precipitation rate was estimated. In the following, the output of the model was compared with the hydrometric method. According to the results of EPM model, sediment yield from stations of Poledoab, Bazaneh, Toureh and Shazand using EPM model are 288103.81, 18963.83, 43079.2 and 20583.76 respectively, whereas hydrometric method shows values 335285.42, 23937.42, 36459.09 and 42781.69 ton per year, respectively. Also comparison of EPM model with hydrometric method shows a good correlation. Results show accuracy of 86%, 82%, 48% and 79% for Poledoab, Toureh, Shazand and Bazaneh stations, respectively. Assessments show that EPM model with acceptable accuracy provides good results in order to predict the mximum annual sediment yield. Manuscript profile

In line with the discussions that are known as the essential accidents of existence in philosophy, Muslim philosophers have placed the problem of bringing back the annihilated things within the category of general metaphysics. They have considered it as one of the accidental issues resulting from the explanation of the principles of existence. Almost all the most prominent philosophers, such as Ibn Sina, Suhrawardi, Mulla Sadra, Sabziwari, and the contemporary philosopher, ‘Allamah Tabataba’i, have unanimously adduced some unquestionable arguments on its impossibility. However, a group of Muslim thinkers, particularly mutakallimun (theologians), do not apparently find this problem appealing, and since a part of the mission and motivation of mutakallimun is the explanation of resurrection, they assume that this philosophical theory is a serious obstacle to the acceptance of corporeal resurrection, which has been referred to in Islam. Qadi ‘Izzuddin, one of the distinguished mutakallimun of the 8th century AH, was one of the most well-known Sunni mutakallimun who began his discussion of resurrection in his book al-Mawaqif with defending the idea of bringing back the annihilated things and seriously opposed the ideas of his preceding philosophers in this regard. This opposition indicates that he was well aware of philosophers’ standpoint concerning their disagreement with the problem of bringing back the annihilated things. Apparently, he assumed that he had managed to respond to their objections. Nevertheless, in spite of his efforts, even the philosophers who appeared in the field of Islamic philosophy after him, one after the other, took side with preceding philosophers in this dispute and did not find Qadi ‘Izzuddin’s explanations satisfying. Therefore, while being aware of his holy motive, they still considered the idea of bringing back the annihilated things to be indefensible. In the middle of all these debates, the contributions of some philosophers such as Mulla Sadra and the succeeding commentators of his school are praiseworthy. The writer of this article has sided with philosophers in his approach by comparing and contrasting the ideas presented for and against this issue. However, it is noted that defending the idea of the impossibility of bringing back the annihilated things was not limited to philosophers; rather, some mutakallimun, whether Shi‘ite or Sunnite, also supported philosophers’ views in relation to this problem.

Since exact algorithms are able to find the optimal solution exactly, they are not effective for solving the complicated and difficult optimization problem and the time of problem solving is increased exponentially; moreover approximate algorithms are able to find the approximate solution (which is very near to the optimal solution) for very complicated and difficult optimization problem in a short period of time. One of the well-known nonlinear programming problems is finding minimum volume ellipsoid covering a finite set of points problem. This problem is solvable for two dimensional space, however heuristic methods are even used to solve it in two dimensional space are very difficult. It would be difficult to achieve the exact solution for three dimensions or more because of huge volume of calculation. In this paper, SA algorithm is used and the problem is solved in two and three dimensions; in addition it can be used for n dimensions as well. Manuscript profile

In human physiology, cholesterol plays an imperative part in membrane cells which regulates the function of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) family. Cholesterol is an individual type of lipid structure and about 90 percent of cellular cholesterol is present at plasma membrane region. Cholesterol Recognition/interaction Amino acid Consensus (CRAC) sequence, generally referred as the CRAC (L/V)-X1−5-(Y)-X1−5-(K/R) and the new cholesterol-binding domain is similar to the CRAC sequence, but exhibits the inverse orientation along the polypeptide chain i.e. CARC (K/R)-X1−5-(Y/F)-X1−5-(L/V). GPCR is treated as a biggest super family in human physiology and probably more than 900 protein genes included in this family. Among all membrane proteins GPCR is responsible for novel drug discovery in all pharmaceuticals industry. In earlier researches the researchers did not find the required number of valid motifs in terms of helices and motif types so they were lacking clinical relevance. The research gap here is that they were not able to predict the motifs effectively which are belonging to multiple motif types. To find out better motif sequences from human GPCR, we explored a hybrid computational model consisting of hybridization of Rough Set with Mean-Shift algorithm. In this paper we made comparison among our resulted output with other techniques such as fuzzy C-means (FCM), FCM with spectral clustering and we concluded that our proposed method targeted well on CRAC region in comparison to CARC region which have higher biological relevance in medicine industry and drug discovery.

In this paper, several methods for optimization of a 5-elements Yagi antenna are proposed using genetic algorithm, genetic algorithm inspired by simulated annealing, genetic algorithm based on fuzzy decision making, and particle swarm method. High speed run time of SuperNEC software, it has been used for analyzing the presented methods. The use of genetic algorithm or genetic algorithm inspired by simulated annealing for antenna optimization in a specific frequency band, needs long run time. Besides, reduction of the number of population and the amount of repetition, causes decrease in optimization precision. So, an optimization system base on fuzzy decision making is proposed. In addition, the particle swarm method which has a good convergence rate and good performance has been proposed to obtain a better optimization. The comparison between the proposed optimization methods shows that the genetic based on fuzzy decision making and the particle swarm methods have the best performance and functionality and the least run time.

Course timetabling is a complex problem, happening at the beginning of every semester at universities. One of the most important problems related to this issue is various constraints. As a result of this, timetabling is performed in various methods at different departments. Many works have been performed to solve this problem which majority of them have used metaheuristic based techniques. In this paper, an algorithm is based on hybridization of improved memetic algorithm and simulated annealing algorithm is proposed. Improvement in memetic algorithm means heuristic initializes population and modification in crossover operator. Also, an operator which is called improvement is designed for improvement of created chromosomes and decrease of violation of constraints. In addition, utilization of simulated annealing will result to increase of the exploitive search ability of memetic algorithm. The experimental results which based on standard data indicate this method is more efficient in comparison with some other new methods. Manuscript profile

Combination of 3D stacking and network-on-chip (NoC), known as 3D NoC, has several advantages such as reduced propagation delay, chip area and interconnect, and power consumption, and bandwidth increase. Despite these advantages, 3D stacking causes the increased power density per chip area and subsequently increases the chip temperature. Temperature increase causes performance degradation and reliability reduction. Therefore, design of temperature management algorithms is essential for these systems. In this paper, we propose a task migration scheme for thermal management of 3D NoCs. The process of migration destinations for hot spots is an NP-complete problem which can be solved by using heuristic algorithms. To this end, we utilize a simulated annealing method in our algorithm. We consider migration overhead in addition to the temperature of the processing elements in migration destination selection process. Simulation results indicate up to 28 percentage peak temperature reduction, on average, for the benchmark that has the largest number of tasks. The proposed scheme has low migration overhead.

In recent years, target coverage is one of the important problems in visual sensor networks. An efficient use of energy is required in order to increase the network lifetime, while covering all the targets. In this paper, we address the Maximum Lifetime with Coverage Scheduling (MLCS) problem that maximizes the network lifetime. We develop a simulated annealing (SA) algorithm that divides the sensors’ Field-of-View (FoV) to a number of cover sets that can cover all the targets and then applies a sleep-wake scheduling algorithm. On the other hand, we have to identify the best possible FoV of sensors according to the targets’ location using rotating cameras, to reduce the solution space and find a near-optimal solution. It also provides the balanced distribution of energy consumption by introducing a new energy and neighbor generating function as well as escaping from local optima. Finally, we conduct some simulation experiments to evaluate the performance of our proposed method by comparing with well-known solutions in the literature such as greedy algorithms.

Image annotation systems are responsible for describing the content of the images by assigning tags to them. The purpose of this research is to improve the accuracy and speed of image annotation system. Recently, with the growing of images, the image annotation process is based on the basics of images instead of themselves. One of these new methods is the implementation of the non-negative matrix algorithm (NMF) on the features of the images. In the proposed method, for the first time, in order to increase the speed and efficiency of the7 system, we use a method that called the block principal pivoting for the NMF solution. This method has ability to add online new class of data to its knowledge and knowledge learning in a compact form. Moreover, the ability to train based on received data without having to be re-processed. In the training phase, the matrix of the coefficients and the base of the input images are obtained using the Block Principal Pivoting method. Then, at the test phase for the input image, by extracted features of the image and the coefficients obtained from the training phase, the coefficient of belonging to the test image is calculated to each of the classes of training images. Then, this coefficient while searching among the teaching images for assigning the label to test image increases the accuracy of the algorithm. This search is done by the KNN method on the base of the images. To test the proposed method, we used two databases Corel5K and real animal data (derived from 500px) and, finally, compared with existing methods, which we found in the Corel5K database at a precision of 50.20 and real data was 62.89. Precision have been increased considerably. Manuscript profile

Nowadays, cloud computing industry has been transformed to a new supply chain between cloud service providers and service requesters. To this end, cloud service provisioning in datacenters is procured via virtualization platforms in which it can potentially increase the utilization of computing resources at infrastructure level. Inefficient virtual machine placement (VMP) schemes lead lower system utilization, increase of resource dissipation, and high rate of power consumption. Therefore, this paper formulates VMP problem on physical machines of cloud datacenters to a multi-objective optimization problem with minimization of both power consumption and resource dissipation perspectives which is computationally NP-Hard. Since the most meta-heuristic algorithms are designed for continuous optimization problems and are also susceptible to get stuck in local optimum, to figure out this combinatorial problem an optimization algorithm based on simulated annealing algorithm commensurate with discrete search space of stated problem is extended, so that the possibility of getting stuck in local optimum is reduced. To validate the proposed approach, several scenarios are introduced and conducted. Reported results from simulation of different scenarios show that the proposed approach outperforms against other existing approaches in terms of reduction in power consumption, resource dissipation, and the number of active server in use.

The soul goes through elemental, natural, mineral, vegetative, animal (Ideal immateriality), and rational (intellectual immateriality) stages in the cradle of its fluid existence. Therefore, the soul’s belonging to the body is a part of its identity and, thus, it can be said that the soul is a material-immaterial substance. Given the existential fluidity of the soul, Mullā Ṣadrā has reinterpreted its various characteristics. Accordingly, the soul’s faculties are levels of its continuous truth that flourish one after each other. Moreover, natural death is the result of the soul’s ontological gradedness and losing interest in elemental body. At some stages of this ontological becoming, the soul attains immateriality and, hence, its survival after death become necessary. Because gradedness and, as a result, attaining immateriality are essential to the soul, its incarnation and return to elemental body is unjustifiable. Therefore, after death, the soul begins its purgatorial life in an Ideal body that is created based on its moral habits, and the natural form that is created in the matter of elemental body opens the path towards purgatorial perfection before it. One of the most important consequences of the soul’s trans-substantial motion is its entrance into divine worlds and annihilation in active, attributive, and essential oneness. Interestingly enough, based on the trans-substantial motion, this significant achievement is possible at the moment of the soul’s belonging to elemental body and is not necessarily limited to the moment of occurrence of natural death.

Abstract Permeability estimation using core data and petrophysical logs is a conventional approach which bears high uncertainty especially in carbonate reservoir characterization. In essence, the problem consists not only due to coring expenses rate, but also ambiguity in finding proper explicit log correlation to core data. Moreover, utilizing the correlated formula in wells without core data can pose errors. In this research the permeability was estimated from conventional petrophysical logs and it was calibrated with permeability obtained from core lab experiments. Applied intelligent systems are the matter of this research for permeability values estimation. To construct permeability estimation model, three techniques have been applied including conventional ANN, the Gonzalez, and Hambalek fuzzy logic techniques. These methods were applied in two wells drilled in Surmeh reservoir in Balal field to establish ANN and to derive a relation between core and well. The models were applied in control well in order to check the reliability and capability of models to estimate representative permeability value. The result showed however three foresaid techniques for permeability estimation were successful the secondary porosity distributed the correlation due to its reduction effect on permeability so that they were not interconnected. Therefore this effect was omitted using secondary porosity index in which the permeability estimation were improved and were estimated close to core value. Manuscript profile

Imam Khomeini (may Allah be pleased with him) is the greatest mystic of his age, who, in addition to his jurisprudence and religion, had a scholarly view in the field of mysticism and has written and can write many works in this field. It can be said that mystical views are well tied to other areas such as politics. Ando says from here that one of the important issues in the subject of mysticism is the examination of mystical authorities and the description of their different degrees. Reh) is related to mystical authorities relying on patience and mortality. The present research is done with a descriptive-analytical approach and referring to library sources, especially the sources related to the views of Imam Khomeini (RA) by stating the degrees of each of the responsible officials and tried to reflect on those officials by relying on the mysticism of certain works. Imam Khomeini should be explained correctly. Manuscript profile
