Community Detection in Modular Complex Networks Using an Improved Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm

     Community detection is an important and interesting topic for better understanding and analyzing complex network structures. Detecting hidden partitions in complex networks is proven to be an NP-hard problem that may not be accurately resolved using traditional methods. So it is solved using evolutionary computation methods and modeled in the literature as an optimization problem.  In recent years, many researchers have directed their research efforts toward addressing the problem of community structure detection by developing different algorithms and making use of single-objective optimization methods. In this study, we have continued that research line by improving the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm using a local improvement operator to effectively discover community structure in the modular complex networks when employing the modularity density metric as a single-objective function. The framework of the proposed algorithm consists of three main steps: an initialization strategy, a movement strategy based on perturbation genetic operators, and an improvement operator. The key idea behind the improvement operator is to determine and reassign the complex network nodes that are located in the wrong communities if the majority of their topological links do not belong to their current communities, making it appear that these nodes belong to another community. The performance of the proposed algorithm has been tested and evaluated when applied to publicly-available modular complex networks generated using a flexible and simple benchmark generator. The experimental results showed the effectiveness of the suggested method in discovering community structure over modular networks of different complexities and sizes.

The role of Lymphocytes Apoptosis in Grave's Disease Patients

Background: Apoptosis is a physiological type of cell death; it is active, well-controlled genetic program of cell death that does not produce inflammatory process. It is involved in cell turnover in healthy adult tissues and it is responsible for focal elimination of unwanted cells during normal embryonic development, organ homeostasis, immune regulation and defense without causing stress to the neighboring cells.
Method: This study was carried on 30 Grave's disease female patients with a mean age of (29.8 ± 8.3) years. The study parameters were considered as: before and after treatment; patient becomes clinically and biochemically euthyroid after 4-6 weeks of starting treatment with antithyroid drug&nb

Schauder Fixed Point Theorems in Intuitionistic Fuzzy Metric Space

In this paper, we will study a concepts of sectional intuitionistic fuzzy continuous and prove the schauder fixed point theorem in intuitionistic fuzzy metric space as a generalization of fuzzy metric space and prove a nother version of schauder fixed point theorem in intuitionistic fuzzy metric space as a generalization to the other types of fixed point theorems in intuitionistic fuzzy metric space considered by other researchers, as well as, to the usual intuitionistic fuzzy metric space.

The cartographic representation of vertical home in Baghdad government

The cartographic representation of geographical phenomenon considers the essential base in geographical analysis since as it supports the vertical house which is apartment houses consist of apartments which represent civil phenomenon , the aim of this study is to project the rule of cartographic representation methods in geographical analysis and make comparison in economic and social aspects for two approaches , the vertical and construction building methods.
The expand of city horizontally represent a problem in itself because it leads to loss of civil lands and overpass the agricultural lands as a result ,the ratio of habitation of land usage is so large in comparison with another usages of lands of the cities ; therefore ; many co

On S*g--Open Sets In Topological Spaces

  In this paper, we introduce a new class of sets, namely , s*g--open sets and we show that the family of all s*g--open subsets of a topological space ) ,X(  from a topology on X which is finer than  . Also , we study the characterizations and basic properties of s*g-open sets and s*g--closed sets . Moreover, we use these sets to define and study a new class of functions, namely , s*g-  -continuous functions and s*g-  -irresolute functions in topological spaces . Some properties of these functions have been studied .

Spectrophotometric Determination of Isoptin (Verapamil Hydrochloride) in Pharmaceutical Preparations

Verapamil Hydrochloride (VH) has been determined spectrophotometrically by using Methyl Orange (MO).  In our previous researches MO was used for determination of Mexiletine Hydrochloride [1]. The method was based on complexation between (MO and VH).  After shaking and diluting the complex solution with D.W, the pH was adjusted with NaOH and HCl to pH 4. The colored complex formed between VH and the reagents were transferred into separating funnels and extracted using 4.5 ml CH2Cl2 and were shaken for (4 minutes).  The extracted organic layer was used for the preparation of the calibration curves for spectrophotometric measurements of VH at 437nm.  The blanks were carried out in exactly the same way throughout the whol

The problem of applying Sharia in contemporary Islamic thought

The Islamic Issue did not rise the “widespread arguments” in contemporary times, just as the issue of applying Islamic Law.  Just as the Islamic forces used this purpose, or employed it during their march to reach to power by adopting the sacred as motivation towered the power, or control the governance. However, the reality show that this goal remained within the boundaries of slogans in the sense of a teleological slogan, and did not go beyond the limits of advocacy or arrangement as the primary source of legislation with differences of teleological reasoning, in a manner that reflected an intellectual problem about the validity of the use of this concept or the ability to apply and enforce the law in today's world, to impose

Evaluation of the Ground Water in Baghdad Governorate / Iraq

The coverage area of Baghdad Governorate area is considered as a part of the
Mesopotamia plain, which belongs to the unstable shelf. This area is totally covered
by quaternary sediments. The sediments are composed mainly by cyclic alteration of
clay, silt, sand and very fine gravels. Quaternary sediments represent the main
aquifer for all parts of Baghdad governorate.
Arc GIS 9.3 and GMS 6.5 programs were used in drawing high accurate
estimating maps, to define salinity, type of the ground waters, the general direction
of their movement, the distribution values of transmissivity of upper aquifer, with
distribution and the amount of draw down for these wells, also drawing map for the
ground waters depth zones.

HAEMATOZO`A OF THE AVIAN FAMILY PHASIANIDAE IN IRAQ

A collection of 118 specimens of Iraqi phasianid birds belong to four species was examined
for haematozoa. Results show that 21.2% of them were infected with one or more of four
species of blood parasites; Haemoproteus danilewskyi, H. santosdiasi, Plasmodium sp. and
microfilaria. Haemoproteus danilewskyi is reported here for the first time in Iraq.

The role of insurance policy in facing banking risks

The concept of insurance policy is one of the concepts that expresses a way to face the risks that a person is exposed to in the field of his life. It is a system that involves a prior agreement between two parties through which the risk is transferred from the second party (the insured) to the first party (the insurer) in return for paying an amount Calculated was able to cover the potential loss according to certain percentages agreed upon between the two parties, and that the main goal of any scientific analysis of the risk is to choose the most appropriate policy or method to confront it, by identifying the risks and ways to address them, and the main goal is to reduce losses and limit the possibility of their occurrence.
