        The intelligent LINEX k-means clustering is a generalization of the k-means clustering so that the number of clusters and their related centroid can be determined while the LINEX loss function is considered as the dissimilarity measure. Therefore, the selection of the centers in each cluster is not randomly. Choosing the LINEX dissimilarity measure helps the researcher to overestimate or underestimate the centers which helps to assign some entities into a special cluster. We check the performance of the algorithm on some real and artificial datasets and evaluate the results according to some internal and external indexes. Manuscript profile

        The understanding of diversity and relation between biological individuals are the first issue of environments observations. This leads to offer evolutionary theories for explaining those facts since ancient till now. The cooperation between individuals with their environments was the basic idea of explanations in the history before Darwinian approaches. But Darwin offered his idea on base of a political economic theory which emphasis on competition between agents in economical activities. So the competition between biological entities is the foundation of Darwinian idea and any cooperation between entities in his approach explain away by consideration a competition between next level entities. On the other hand, there was not a well form and sound heredity theory in his time too. That’s why the Darwinian evolutionary theory faced some problems for explanation of some biological facts as same as others. Both of the cooperation and competition approaches alone could not explain the biological facts completely and coherently. It looks that while the basic relation between any biological individuals are cooperation with their environments, there are some race between almost same individuals for cooperation with their environments too.

        Background and Objective: Sustainable management of renewable natural resources has special importance and sensitivity in Iran. Identify elements of the forest including forest types, is the most consistent way to manage natural resources and especially forests. River forests are important areas for preserving biodiversity and ensuring the sustainability of the forest ecosystem. On this principle, it is necessary to know and understand the state of the structure of these forests and the types of trees in them and to know the evolutionary process of forest ecosystems before any planning. The aim of this study is forests typing of Maroon riverbank. Material and Methodology: 116 plots were chosen with an area of 100 using a systematic random sampling method with dimensions of grid for the study area. In each plot, tree and shrub species, canopy cover in the area of plot were estimated and recorded according to Braun-Blanquet scale corrected. Various parameters such as frequency, abundance and density were calculated. Through the sum of the above three relative parameters, the IVI index was obtained for each species. In order to compare the degree of similarity between types, Sorenson's similarity index was used. Relative abundance values for each species in pure and mixed types were set on a 10-unit scale and divided into four specific groups. After determining the tree types of the area, their map was drawn through IDW interpolation method in GIS10.1 software. Findings: In pure type, Tamarix ramosissima and Populus euphratica, with the highest and lowest frequency (6.7 and 3.3) are indicated as high and low respectively. In general, three types were found including pure, mixed with two and three species. The most amount of Sorenson similarity index was determined between two types of Tamarix-Populus and Tamarix-Lycium (93%) and also Populus-Tamarix and Populus-Lycium (92%). The lowest similarity index value of 12% to 15% was observed between the Populus-Lysium-Tamarix type with pure Tamarix, Tamarix-Lysium, Tamarix-Populus and Populus-Tamarix types. Minimum and maximum maturity index was obtained for pure types (50%) and mixed types (79%), respectively. Pure types have low maturity and mixed types have high maturity. The maturity index for the entire region was 72%, which indicates high maturity. Discussion and Conclusion: The tree cover of the river forests of Maroon Behbahan were classified into pure and mixed types on a general scale. The number of two pure types of Tamarix and Populus and seven mixed types including four cases of two types and three cases of three types were obtained. Three species (Tamarix arceuthoides, Populus euphratica and Lycium Shawii) are generally important in the creation of regional types. Among the pure and mixed types, Tamarix was recognized as the most abundant species. The great similarity between pure Tamarix, Tamarix-Lycium and Tamarix-Populus types is due to the common and dominant presence of Tamarix in these types. A variety of different types in a limited area represents complex river ecosystems. Manuscript profile

        Introduction: Assessing the quality of available water is especially important to meet drinking needs. Therefore, it is important to prepare and formulate an approach that can provide a more appropriate evaluation with higher accuracy and taking into account the inaccuracies caused by instrumental errors and measurements. The aim of this study was to evaluate the groundwater quality of Zanjan plain based on a method similar to fuzzy ideal solution. Material and Methods:To achieve this goal,  57 and 59 groundwater quality samples in dry and wet seasons were used and the 28 quality parameters were analyzed in each sample. The relative closeness coefficient of each samples were determined based on fuzzy weight specified by the opinions of experts in this field for each quality parameters and the fuzzy decision matrix based on drinkable water quality standards. By calculating the relative closeness coefficient of each samples, the contamination ranking for each sample was determined. Results and Discussion: The results show that the more polluted areas are mainly concentrated in the center and northwest of the plain and this is in complete harmony with the location of industrial centers (such as lead and zinc complexes) and the hydrogeological characteristics of the aquifer. In order to evaluate the accuracy of the ranking, the results of the proposed method were compared with the definite case of the method similar to the ideal solution. Examination of the qualitative parameters related to rank 1 (lowest pollution rate) shows that most of the parameters in this rank, which should represent the lowest pollution rate, have high values ​​in the definite method compared to the fuzzy method (for example, the amoun of the arsenic parameter located in rank 1 of the definite and fuzzy methods is equal to 0.4 and 0 micrograms per liter, respectively) and this has been repeated in reverse regarding the 59th rank (maximum pollution rate), which indicates the reliability of the rankings and the high accuracy of the proposed method. Conclusion: The results showed that the pollution is concentrated in the central plains and partly in the North and Northwest plain due to the significant polluting industries, pesticides, and manure storage depot in these areas. Based on proposed approach can be calculated the rank pollution of groundwater quality samples with high accuracy, especially in cases where the assessment of water quality for drinking purposes must be considered.

        Background and Objective: With population growth and urban development, humans gradually went away from nature. Over-population density and human-made environments have increased the human environmental, physical and mental needs. In order to meet these needs, urban man has created parks inside the cities. The purpose of this study is to prioritize citizens' satisfaction indices from parks and urban green spaces using the topsis model in parks of Tehran. Material and Methodology: The research method is descriptive, analytical and survey. The information was collected by completing the questionnaire by visitors to the park and finally the questionnaires were analyzed. Findings: The data analysis showed that most respondents were in the age range of 20 to 40 years old, had a free job, and had a diploma or a bachelor's degree. Their motivation from going to the park was resting and their access to park was a personal vehicle. Indicators of citizens' satisfaction from parks were determined based on the topsis model. In this model, green space and boards had the lowest and the most distance from ideal point, respectively. According to the similarity index, among the 23 criteria, the green space and the area of the park ranked first and second, respectively, and the boards and trash bin were ranked 22 and 23, respectively. Based on multivariate method, cluster analysis, citizens' satisfaction criteria from parks was divided into three groups. The criteria that had the highest, the lowest and the average satisfaction rates for the people were in the first, second and third groups, respectively. Discussion and Conclusion: Based on the cluster analysis, people's satisfaction with the elements of conducting the competition in the park, the green area in the spring, the size of the green space, the area of the park and the variety of flowers and trees were more than other elements.     Manuscript profile

        Shamsoddin Mohammad Hafez Shirazi is a poet of the eighth century AH and one of the main pillars of Persian poetry and lyric poetry. Hafez is one of the poets who has considered many works of poetry and prose before him in writing his poems and has used them a lot in word and content. One of the books that are very similar to Hafez's poems in various verbal and semantic aspects is Saad al-Din Varavini's Marzbannameh, which belongs to the seventh century. By studying Varavini's "Marzbannameh" and paying attention to it, we can understand the various aspects of verbal (words and combinations) and spiritual similarities between this book and Hafez's Divan. There are many types of similarities between Hafez's poem and "Marzbannameh" and include similar words and expressions, additional combinations, similar descriptions and inflections, as well as similar themes that these similarities can be considered common themes category in Persian literature.

        Due to the necessity of understanding the meaning in the analysis of phrases and in order to correctly understand the words of the speaker, paying attention to the context is one of the most essential topics in semantics; Therefore, linguists in semantic studies pay attention to context from two perspectives. The first group believes that the meaning of a sentence can be determined separately from any context, and the second group, like Firth, believes in the theory of situational context. He believes that all the constituent elements of speech, including the personality of the speaker and the listener and the social environment, etc. should be examined in order to reach a correct understanding of the phrase. For this purpose, the present article tries to investigate the role of texture in the use of prepositions and its importance in creating meaning in some similar verses by using descriptive-analytical method and with the help of Firth theory. It was concluded that similar verses, in which only the preposition is different, have played a different meaning, which is influenced by the context and texture of the verses. For example, the letters (Ali) and (Eli) are in two separate contexts with different meanings but in two similar verses. Also, the letters (Ba) and (Lam) are the same. Manuscript profile

        In the view of Allamah Tabatabai, the interpretation of the Qur'an to the Qur'an, which is derived from the interpretive biography of religious leaders, is the most accurate way to reach the concepts and purposes of the Qur'an. Applying this method requires an appropriate mechanism and attention to scientific principles and observance of principles and rules for selecting homogeneous verses in description and interpretation.In this study, focusing on the first hundred verses of Surah Al-Baqarah in the interpretation of Al-Mizana through text analysis, the relationship between the verses and their counterparts has been studied. The findings of the present study show that Allameh quotes similar verses for 34 verses within the first hundred verses of Surah Al-Baqarah. In total, ten bases for selecting similar verses were obtained by Allameh in the scope of research. Among these, the use of the three bases of "verbal-conceptual similarity of one word", "verbal-conceptual similarity of more than one word" and "authority of Gharr verses" are the most frequent, respectively.

        In recent years, image annotation is one of the active research topics. In this article, a semi-supervised cooperative clustering technique is proposed for image annotation. Clustering methods are very popular because they do not require annotations. In order to achieve the highest efficiency, the clustering results of six systems with different color space and similarity criteria are cooperatively combined with the majority vote. When the number of votes for an image is low, relevant feedback is used to annotate it. One of the most important parts of the image retrieval system and clustering algorithm is determining the appropriate similarity criteria between images. Nowadays, the linear similarity criterion is mostly used to determine the similarity between images, but the nonlinear models can have much better performance due to their proximity to the human vision system, for this purpose, the KMRBF nonlinear similarity criterion is used to simulate vision. Humans and improvement of recovery results are suggested. Experiments on the Corel image database and satellite images show that the proposed method has good performance. According to the results obtained in the satellite image database, the YIQ color space has a higher accuracy (82.5%). Also, the three color spaces CIELab, HSV and YIQ have higher efficiency, because in these color spaces, luminance is separated from chrominance and these color spaces are closer to the human vision system.

        Social propositional systems are a new generation of systems that use the social network as a user modeling platform to maximize some challenges by using rich interactive data volumes. To make Social networking sites offer new friends to registered users based on local graph features. The main purpose of the link prediction problem on social networks is to suggest a list of users to a particular user that they will probably be communicating in the future. In this research, a prediction method for the link is presented based on the characteristics of classification models. Here, the prediction problem of the link is transformed into a classifying problem with two positive and negative classes, where the positive class represents the relationship and the negative class indicates that the two users are not communicating. Three classical classes DT, NN and NB are used for classification work. To create the dataset, the features of credibility, optimism, number of neighbors, the number of paths of different lengths, the number of shared tweets, the number of internal and external axes are used. Although self-centered grids do not have much overlap in the rings, experiments show that the consideration of self-directed pathways significantly improves predictive performance. The DT classification has recorded the best performance with an average accuracy of 99.85%. Manuscript profile

        Distinguishing the susceptible areas to landslide using appropriate experimental models of landslide susceptibility mapping is one of the primitive and basic works to reduce probable damages and reduce risk in country's watersheds. In this research, thirteen factors, including altitude, slope, aspect, rainfall, plan curvature, profile curvature, Topographic Wetness Index (TWI), Stream power index (SPI), distance from the river, distance from road, distance from the fault, lithology, and land use are identified as effective parameters in landslide occurrence in the studied area. The landslide landslide distribution map was prepared using Landsat 2017 satellite imagery and Field studies (2017). Then, the landslide susceptibility mapping was performed with three methods, including frequency ratio, entropy and TOPSIS. The results were evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The area under the curve (AUC) of applied models shows the accuracy of 84, 87.7, and 91 percent for entropy frequency ratio and TOPSIS models, respectively. The results are indicative statistical models have a better accuracy in comparison with MCDM models and expert approaches. The results of the present study could be useful for better managing the flood affected areas and to reduce its damage. Manuscript profile

        Introduction: Semantic Textual Similarity (STS) across languages is a pivotal challenge in natural language processing, with applications ranging from plagiarism detection to machine translation. Despite significant strides in STS, it remains a formidable task in languages with distinct syntactic structures and limited digital resources. Linguistic diversity, especially in word order variation, poses unique challenges, exemplified by languages adhering to Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) or Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) patterns, compounded by complexities like pronoun-dropping. This paper addresses the intricate task of measuring STS in Persian, characterized by SOV word order and distinctive linguistic features. Method: We propose a novel joint learning approach, harnessing an enhanced self-attention model, to tackle the STS challenge in both SOV and SVO language structures. Our methodology involves establishing a comprehensive multilingual corpus with parallel data for SOV and SVO languages, ensuring a diverse representation of linguistic structures. An improved self-attention model is introduced, featuring weighted relative positional encoding and enriched context representations infused with co-occurrence information through pointwise mutual information (PMI) factors. A joint learning framework leverages shared representations across languages, facilitating effective knowledge transfer and bridging the linguistic gap between SOV and SVO languages. Results: Our model, trained on Persian-English and Persian-Persian language pairs simultaneously, successfully extracts informative features, explicitly considering differences in word order and pronoun-dropping. During the training, the batch is sampled from STS benchmark with English and Translated Persian Pair texts and fed into customized encoder to get attention matrix and output embeddings. Then, the similarity module predicts the STS score. We use the STS score to compute the Mean Square Error (MSE) loss. Evaluation on Persian-English and Persian-Persian STS-Benchmarks demonstrates impressive performance, achieving Pearson correlation coefficients of 89.51% and 92.47%, respectively. Comparative experiments reveal superior performance against existing models, emphasizing the effectiveness of our proposed approach. Discussion: The ablation study further substantiates the robustness of our system, showcasing faster convergence and reduced susceptibility to overfitting. The results underscore the significance of our enhanced model in addressing the complexities of measuring semantic similarity in languages with diverse linguistic structures and limited digital resources. The approach not only advances cross-lingual STS capabilities but also provides insights into handling syntactic variations, such as SOV and SVO word orders, and pronoun-dropping. This research opens avenues for future investigations into enhancing STS in languages with unique structural characteristics. Manuscript profile

        Introduction: A social network is a social structure made up of individuals or organizations. Social network analysis is an approach in which the network is considered as a set of nodes and relationships between them. Nodes are individuals and actually actors in the network and the relationships between them are displayed as connections between nodes.Method: Among many social network analysis issues, link prediction has attracted much attention due to the growing number of social network users. Link prediction means predicting which new interaction is going to happen in the future. Traditional link prediction methods considered pairs of nodes as a unit and made decisions based on commonalities between them. In addition, we proposed a new similarity measure for link prediction in social networks.Results: We compared this criterion with four prediction methods of Jaccard link, Salton Index, Salton Cosine, and resource allocation). Experimental runs in this article were carried out on five social network datasets. Our results showed that this criterion performed better than other link prediction techniques on all datasets.Discussion: Social network analysis has recently attracted lots of attention among researchers due to its wide applicability in capturing social interactions. Link prediction, related to the likelihood of having a link between two nodes of the network that are not connected, is a key problem in social network analysis. Many methods have been proposed to solve the problem. Among these methods, similarity-based methods exhibit good efficiency by considering the network structure and using as a fundamental criterion the number of common neighbors between two nodes to establish structural similarity.  Manuscript profile

        The magic of proximity as one of the components of formalism plays a prominent role in the artistic expression of speech. In fact, this topic deals with the balance between phonemes and words. And from this perspective, we can mention many rhetorical elements such as repetition, phonology, types of puns, prostration, arrangement and balance, and other industries. Phonetic accompaniment creates music from this perspective, enchants the audience and induces meaning. In this way, it adds to the audience In such a way that sometimes words that are not related to each other in terms of meaning and their similarity is only in terms of phonetics are accepted. 's pleasure.And the mind seeks to discover meaning for them, and the poet or writer-artist will be more successful in inducing his desired goals and meanings by using this technique.In this article, using descriptive method and providing examples, we examined the magical effects of proximity in Saadi's lyric poems.It can be said that the magical effects of proximity in Saadi's sonnets, according to the division of kourosh safavi from the types of balance, can be mentioned more in the subset of phonetic balance, and through this, Saadi has increased the influence of his words.

        To beautify and improve landscape of Mashhad metropolitan city, weed situation of Khorshid Park was studied. Thirty weed species belonging to 15 plants families formed the relatively diverse weed communities established on plains and hillsides of the park most of which belonged to Asteraceae, Poaceae and Fabaceae families, respectively. Sixteen of which (53%) were annuals, 37% were perennials and 10% were biennials. the richness of the plain weed community with 26 species was more than hillsides with 20 species. Weed community in hillside weed was highly uniform while uniformity of weed community in plains was less than hillsides showing signs of dominance at the beginning of the season. The Logarithmic distribution model of species showed the habitats are not relatively demolished, The similarity between weed communities of plains and hillsides was less than the similarity between seasonal weed communities of each habitat indicating more adaption of weeds to habitat conditions. The less similarity was obtained between spring weeds of both habitats while the most similarity was observed between summer weed communities. This survey proved that plains are threatened by noxious weed species such as Acroptilon repens L., Cynodon dactylon L., Hordeum murinum L., Bromus tectorum L. and Setaria viridis L. while hillsides menaced by Acroptilon repens L., Alhagi camelorum Fisch., Cirsium arvense and Xanthium strumarium L.

          This research was carried out to investigate the population structure of the plant flora of weeds in two different microclimates. To perform this experiment, two pieces of lands located in Mashhad, with dimensions of 95 × 20 m were selected; one of them was an abandoned agricultural land and the other was an abandoned garden. Both areas were without maintenance for about 8 years but the garden was irrigated just for grazing sheeps and goats. Sample taking from intersections of regular grids of 5 × 5 m by 1 × 1 m quadrates was conducted. After fitting the theoretical models of empirical variogram with interpolation of points, the maps of the species were drawn. To study the  vegetative cover in both regions the α and β diversity indicators, the relative frequency, species richness, uniformity, Shanon-Veiwer and Simpson indices, and also similarity indicators, Ashtyn house, Jaccard and Sorenson similarity coefficient was determined. Totally 35 species which were belonged to 12 plant families were found, 15 species of which were found in the abandoned agricultural land but Alhagi pseudalhaji and two species of Lactuca genus were common in both lands. In the survey conducted, 31 species were dicots and 4 species were monocots. Climate conditions causes that in each region ecotype of plant species vary in terms of the number and families, thus effects on the diversity and distribution in the region. Manuscript profile

        Increasing amount of information on the web has motivated the creation of the recommendationsystems. These systems support users that are associated with large information spaces and lead themto the information they exactly need.Recommendation systems are still limited by several problems, such as sparsity, or the new userproblem. They also fail to make full usage and harness the power of domain knowledge and semanticweb ontologies. In this paper a recommendation system, called OntoTimes, is proposed that comprisessemantic relation of users associated tags with site’s ontology, further, it involves users time interestsin recommendations. Evaluations demonstrate that OntoTimes recommendation system, since userstime interests are involved, achieves better accuracy (47%) against the recommendation system thatare only based on ontology (37%).

        Today, cyberspace activities and capabilities are recognized as an integral part of enhancing the quality of life. This has made identifying and analyzing the performance of individuals in the business interactions of this space an important part of marketing studies. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of internet shopping sites in daily life. Behaviors that arise in the form of a tendency to shop without planning online or to insist on shopping online without planning. One of the new cognitive responses addressed in this study is trans-social interactive behaviors. This applied research with a descriptive-correlation approach has investigated these behaviors. The statistical population of this study is customers of DigiKala online store (Alborz province). Data were collected by a questionnaire and analyzed in two parts: descriptive and inferential. The results show that enhancing product appeal through shape and color enhances people's enjoyment of the product. Similarity among users also has a positive impact on the formation of users' social interactions in the social business environment. Therefore, the closer buyers are to each other in terms of age, ethical characteristics, level of education, and income, the more and more societal interactions occur between them. Based on these results, Internet product and service vendors can better market share by classifying the market according to its characteristics. Manuscript profile

        In order to study the effect of plant density, planting pattern and herbicide dosage of nicosulfuron, a field experiment was arranged in a factorial split plot treatments based on RCBD with three replications in Chenaran, Khorasan Razavi, in 2010. The experimental treatments consisted of a factorial plant density (100000, 120000 and 140000 plants ha-1) in the planting pattern (single and double row) as main plot and herbicide dosage of nicousulforon in four levels (0, 1, 1/5 and 2, l.ha-1) as sub-plot. Samplings were made at in five stages (37days after the emergence of corn and it was repeated once per 20 days). The results indicated reducing the weed density and dry matter of weeds in the first stage after the herbicide treatment. Moreover, it was observed a significant interaction effect between plant density with planting pattern and between planting pattern with herbicides dosages during growth season on reducing weed density and dry matter. Also results indicated that in between of this experiment's treatments, nicosulfuron herbicide reduced weed density at the beginning of growth season and double row planting pattern suppressed weed density during growing season, and resulted in lowest Jacard similarity index (Sj) of weed species. Results also indicated that with increasing of plant density and herbicide dosage especially in composition of double row planting pattern, according to Shannon- Wiener index, sensitive population such as common purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.), buckhorn plantain (Plantago lanceolata L.), prostrate knotweed (Polygonum aviculareL.), black nightshade (Solanum nigrum L.) and Johnson grass (Sorghum halepens L.) was reduced in during growing season. Simpson dominance index, showed that some low populated weeds such as redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus L.), common lambsquarters (Chenopodium album L.), field bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis L.) and Canada thistle (Circum arvensis L.) persisted their growth up to the end of growing season.

        The United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals encourage countries to solve many social problems. One of these problems is homelessness. We consider those goals which are most pertinent to homelessness according to [13]. We rank countries with respect to the achievement of these goals. We use fuzzy similarity measures to determine the degree of similarity between these rankings. We use three methods to rank the counties, namely, the Analytic Hierarchy Process, the Guiasu method, and the Yen method. Overall scores of categories in some basic research papers pertaining to Sustainable Development Goals were obtained by using multiplication of the scores of the category’s targets. Multiplication was used to agree with the philosophy that in order for a high score to be obtained, all targets must have a high score. To support this philosophy in the decision process, we use the t-norms bounded difference, algebraic product, and standard intersection as experts. We also suggest a way the techniques used here can be extended to nonstandard analysis Manuscript profile

        In fuzzy set theory, the concept of a non-membership function and the hesitation margin were not considered while these two concepts have been included along with the membership function for intuitionistic fuzzy sets. It is also to be noted that the intuitionistic fuzzy set is reflected as an extension of the fuzzy set accommodating both membership and non-membership functions together with a hesitation margin. In the intuitionistic fuzzy set theory, the sum of the membership function and the non-membership function is a value between 0 and 1. In recent times, intuitionistic fuzzy rough set theory has emerged as a powerful tool for dealing with imprecision and uncertain information in relational database theory. Measures of similarity between fuzzy rough sets as well as intuitionistic fuzzy rough sets provide wide applications in real-life problems and that is why many researchers paid more attention to this concept. Intuitionistic fuzzy rough set theory behaves like an excellent tool to tackle impreciseness or uncertainties. In this paper, we propose a new approach of similarity measure on an intuitionistic fuzzy rough set based on a set-theoretic approach. The proposed measure is able to give an exact result. In the application part, we consider a real-life problem for selecting a fair play award-winning team in a cricket tournament and describe the algorithm. Manuscript profile

        Deep learning algorithms achieves some results at human level or even better in pattern recognition problems. Meanwhile they apply a different mechanism other than human brain. This paper describes a human-inspired segmentation and interpolation algorithm, which applies the retinal layer in the proposed model after the input layer. Following this retina, this layer encrypts the input image and transmits the input image to the second space, which try to change deep network structure inspired of the brain's visual path. Network feedback, recognition rate, and network energy level or the comprehensiveness of the trained network examined in subsets of the Caltech data set. In similar examples, deep learning algorithms require more data to learn other than human. In the difference between deep learning and human, there is a difference in the representation of information. In deep learning, weights improve in a way that optimizes the result in a particular experiment, but in millions of years of human evolution, the human brain has evolved optimally and effectively representation. Another point of contention is the deepening of deep learning layers. The number of these layers has multiplied compared to the brain that lead to more complexity and energy expenditure. However, in the brain it can make a diagnosis with less energy. The maximum recognition rate of the proposed model is 93% and the base model is close to 91%. Also, the proposed model is thinner and the rate of fire of neurons in the initial layers is lower and has a high stability to changes in light intensity. The Dissimilarity of the model layers has been higher and it has been able to show a better response in the face of noise images and record less recognition loss. Manuscript profile

        Requirements engineering is one of the important and main phases in the software development process. In this phase, various activities are performed by software engineers. In this paper, the problem of prioritizing requirements in the iterative software development process has been investigated. The main goal is to automatically find priority groups of requirements so that each group of requirements can be implemented in one iteration of the development process. For this purpose, data mining, text processing and semantic similarity techniques have been used. The proposed methods have been applied to the data set related to the requirements of different software. The proposed methods have different phases. In the clustering phase, various clustering algorithms such as K-Means, hierarchical clustering, and Density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN) have been used. In order to check the effectiveness of clustering methods, the results obtained for the prioritization of requirements have been compared with the priority groups determined by experts. The results of the comparison show that the presented methods have good and acceptable performance for classifying requirements and clustering methods. Proposed method provides an average of 3% better performance. Manuscript profile

        With the expansion and success of convolutional networks, the topic of deep learning has attracted increasing attention in recent years; Since convolutional networks include many layers, optimal learning of network layers is of great importance. In this paper, a new model, called the 4-stream model, is presented with the aim of helping to linearize the data space using representational dissimilarity transformation, and the effects of this transformation on standard classifications for artificial data and Cifar10 images are investigated. Then, two models based on data preprocessing with dissimilarity transform representation and Sobel and Edge Detector filters are analyzed. The 4-stream model increased the accuracy by 3.2% due to the increase in the number of model parameters, and hence the capacity of the network. Besides, adding the dissimilarity representation wherever the classifier cannot perform a high-resolution classification by merely using the main features, can help to increase the discriminability of classes by adding linear features.

        Relevance feedback approaches is used to improve the performance of content-based image retrieval systems. In this paper, a novel relevance feedback approach based on similarity measure modification in an X-ray image retrieval system based on fuzzy representation using fuzzy attributed relational graph (FARG) is presented. In this approach, optimum weight of each feature in feature vector is calculated using similarity rate between query image and relevant and irrelevant images in user feedback. The calculated weight is used to tune fuzzy graph matching algorithm as a modifier parameter in similarity measure. The standard deviation of the retrieved image features is applied to calculate the optimum weight. The proposed image retrieval system uses a FARG for representation of images, a fuzzy matching graph algorithm as similarity measure and a semantic classifier based on merging scheme for determination of the search space in image database. To evaluate relevance feedback approach in the proposed system, a standard X-ray image database consisting of 10000 images in 57 classes is used. The improvement of the evaluation parameters shows proficiency and efficiency of the proposed system. Manuscript profile

        Human beings have experienced many changes in their aesthetic tastes and values throughout their lives. For this reason, different approaches have been proposed in the history of thought to explain these changes, which in this research have been referred to sociological opinions.This research has been done with the aim of measuring the cultural and artistic taste of Ahwaz citizens, studying distinc factors affecting it sociologically and investigating similarity of taste in effect virtual social networks. By interviewing the most important indexes related to cultural and artistic taste were identified and then, using the Survey method, citizens of Ahwaz were studied. By testing the research hypothesis, it was found that 7 variables studied, included gender, type of job, ethnicity, educational level, economic capital, cultural capital and socioeconomic class, are factors affect on cultural and artistic tastes of Ahwaz citizens which makes it distinct and it was found that the use of virtual social networks makes similarity in tastes.

        Although optimization of weighted objectives is ubiquitous in production scheduling, the literature concerning the determination of weights used in these objectives is scarce. Authors usually suppose that weights are given in advance, and focus on the solution methods for the specific problem at hand. However, weights directly settle the class of optimal solutions, and are of utmost importance in any practical scheduling problem. In this study, we propose a new weighting approach for single machine scheduling problems. First, factor weights to be used in customer evaluation are found by solving a nonlinear optimization problem using the covariance matrix adaptation evolutionary strategy (CMAES) under fuzzy environment that takes a pairwise comparison matrix as input. Next, customers are sorted using the technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) by means of which job weights are obtained. Finally, taking these weights as an input, a total weighted tardiness minimization problem is solved by using mixed-integer linear programming to find the best job sequence. This combined methodology may help companies make robust schedules not based purely on subjective judgment, find the best compromise between customer satisfaction and business needs, and thereby ensure profitability in the long run.

        Collection and evaluation of germplasms play an important role in fruit tree breeding programs and different molecular markers have been used for this purpose. RAPD marker is one of the most common markers to identify different apple genotypes and varieties. In this study, the genetic diversity of 23 indigenous apple genotypes collected from Azerbaijan, Central Alborz and Central Zagros regions of Iran was evaluated by 11 RAPD primers serie TIB MOLBIOL and commercial cultivar of Granny Smith was consdered as the control. Data were analyzed using NTSYS software, dendrogram was drawn based on UPGMA results and DICE similarity index was used for measuring genetic similarities. Average number of bands was 10.27 for each primer. In general, samples of each region were separate from other regions and were classified in different clusters. However, some samples were placed in the cluster of other regions that it could be due to genotype transition among areas in the past tense. High polymorphism rates were obtained (68.62%). Based on the results, similarity of samples ranged from 0.378 to 0.723. There was high genetic difference among apple genotypes collected from the studied areas, but low difference was observed among samples of each region. In conclusion, investigation of genetic variation indicated that RAPD marker is suitable approach to determine polymorphic loci and to estimate the genetic distance among apple genotypes and cultivars.
