description: Finland is among the richest and happiest countries in the world. In spite of cuts in public spending over the past few decades, welfare state arrangements are an important cause of citizens’ satisfaction. Given this, Finland may also have been in a better position than many other countries to meet the challenges
of the pandemic, and may have had fewer vulnerabilities than other countries.

description: Quadrupole shifts for three prominent clock transitions, $[4f^{14} 6s] ^2S_{1/2} \rightarrow [4f^{14} 5d] ^2D_{3/2}$, $[4f^{14} 6s] ^2S_{1/2} \rightarrow [4f^{14} 5d] ^2D_{5/2}$ and $[4f^{14} 6s] ^2S_{1/2} \rightarrow [4f^{13} 6s^2] ^2F_{7/2}$, in the Yb$^+$ ion are investigated by calculating the quadrupole moments ($Θ$s) of the $5d_{3/2,5/2}$ and $4f_{7/2}$ states using the relativistic coupled-cluster (RCC) methods. We find an order difference in the $Θ$ value of the $4f_{7/2}$ state between our calculation and the experimental result, but our result concur with the other calculations that are carried out using different many-body methods than ours. However, our $Θ$ value of the $5d_{3/2}$ state is in good agreement with the available experimental result and becomes more precise till date to estimate the the quadrupole shift of the $[4f^{14} 6s] ^2S_{1/2} \rightarrow [4f^{14} 5d] ^2D_{3/2}$ clock transition more accurately. To justify the accuracies in our calculations, we evaluate the hyperfine structure constants of the $6s_{1/2}$, $5d_{3/2,5/2}$ and $4f_{7/2,5/2}$ states of $^{171}$Yb$^+$ ion using the same RCC methods and compare the results with their experimental values. We also determine the lifetime of the $5d_{3/2}$ state to eradicate the scepticism on the earlier measured value as claimed by a recent experiment.

description: During soft matter filtration, colloids accumulate in a compressible porous cake layer on top of the membrane surface. The void size between the colloids predominantly defines the cake-specific permeation resistance and the corresponding filtration efficiency. While higher fluxes are beneficial for the process efficiency, they compress the cake and increase permeation resistance. However, it is not fully understood how soft particles behave during cake formation and how their compression influences the overall cake properties. This study visualizes the formation and compression process of soft filter cakes in microfluidic model systems. During cake formation, we analyze single-particle movements inside the filter cake voids and how they interact with the whole filter cake morphology. During cake compression, we visualize reversible and irreversible compression and distinguish the two phenomena. Finally, we confirm the compression phenomena by modeling the soft particle filter cake using a CFD-DEM approach. The results underline the importance of considering the compression history when describing the filter cake morphology and its related properties. Thus, this study links single colloid movements and filter cake compression to the overall cake behavior and narrows the gap between single colloid events and the filtration process.
Examining the effects of motivational and organizational determinants on knowledge-sharing behavior (Case study in an industrial research and development center)

description: Knowledge sharing is a fundamental ability in industrial research and development centers through which employees can contribute to knowledge application, innovation, and ultimately the competitive advantage of the organization. Effective knowledge sharing among employees may considerably impact duration, cost and quality of research and development activities in such organizations. Therefore, this paper is aimed at examining the effects of motivational and organizational determinants in forming knowledge-sharing behavior in an industrial research and development center through synthesizing theory of planned behavior and social exchange theory. A descriptive-survey methodology was conducted and a questionnaire developed for data gathering. Partial Least Squares (PLS) method also used to test research hypotheses. Result of analyzing 85 questionnaires indicated that individuals’ attitudes toward knowledge sharing are positively affected by perceived enjoyment in helping others and perceived reputation enhancement, while negatively affected by perceived loss of knowledge power. It is also revealed that attitude toward knowledge sharing and subjective norms significantly determine intention to share knowledge, which then determines knowledge sharing behavior. In addition, research findings supported the positive effects of organizational climate and information and communication facilities as organizational determinants on subjective norms and perceived behavioral control, respectively. At last, based on research findings, some practical implications for knowledge management practitioners to foster knowledge sharing in industrial research and development centers suggested and research opportunities for future researchers to fill this research’s gaps proposed.

description: Angiogenic sprouts require coordination of endothelial cell (EC) behaviors as they extend and branch. Microtubules influence behaviors such as cell migration and cell-cell interactions via regulated growth and shrinkage. Here we investigated the role of the mitotic polarity protein LGN in EC behaviors and sprouting angiogenesis. Surprisingly, reduced levels of LGN did not affect oriented division of EC within a sprout, but knockdown perturbed overall sprouting. At the cell level, LGN knockdown compromised cell-cell adhesion and migration. EC with reduced LGN levels also showed enhanced growth and stabilization of microtubules that correlated with perturbed migration. These results fit a model whereby LGN influences interphase microtubule dynamics in endothelial cells to regulate migration, cell adhesion, and sprout extension, and reveal a novel non-mitotic role for LGN in sprouting angiogenesis.

description: Accurate measurement of maternal mortality is needed to develop a greater understanding of the scale of the problem, to increase effectiveness of program planning and targeting, and to track progress. In the absence of good quality vital statistics, interim methods are used to measure maternal mortality. The purpose of this study is to document experience with three community-based interim methods that measure maternal mortality using verbal autopsy.

description: We combine multi-object spectroscopy from the 2dF and EFOSC2 spectrographs with optical imaging of the inner 30'x30' of A2384 taken with the ESO Wide Field Imager. We carry out a kinematical analysis using the EMMIX algorithm and biweight statistics. We address the possible presence of cluster substructures with the Dressler-Shectman test. Cluster galaxies are investigated with respect to [OII] and Hα equivalent width. Galaxies covered by our optical imaging observations are additionally analysed in terms of colour, star formation rate and morphological descriptors such as Gini coefficient and M20 index. We study cluster galaxy properties as a function of clustercentric distance and investigate the distribution of various galaxy types in colour-magnitude and physical space. The Dressler-Shectman test reveals a substructure in the east of the 2dF field-of-view. We determine the mass ratio between the northern and southern subcluster to be 1.6:1. In accordance with other cluster studies, we find that a large fraction of the disk galaxies close to the cluster core show no detectable star formation. Probably these are systems which are quenched due to ram-pressure stripping. The sample of quenched disks populates the transition area between the blue cloud and the red sequence in colour-magnitude space. We also find a population of morphologically distorted galaxies in the central cluster region. The substructure in the east of A2384 might be a group of galaxies falling onto the main cluster. We speculate that our sample of quenched spirals represents an intermediate phase in the ram-pressure driven transformation of infalling field spirals into cluster S0s. This is motivated by their position in colour-magnitude space. The occurrence of morphologically distorted galaxies in the cluster core complies with the hypothesis of A2384 representing a post merger system.

description: IntroductionLittle is known about medication use among women with eating disorders in relation to pregnancy.AimsTo explore patterns of and associations between use of psychotropic, gastrointestinal and analgesic medications and eating disorders in the period before, during and after pregnancy.MethodThis study is based on the Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study (MoBa). A total of 62,019 women, enrolled at approximately 17 weeks' gestation, had valid data from the Norwegian Medical Birth Registry and completed three MoBa questionnaires. The questionnaires provided diagnostic information on broadly defined anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), binge eating disorder (BED) and recurrent self-induced purging in the absence of binge eating (EDNOS-P), along with self-reported use of medication six months before, during, and 0–6 months after pregnancy.ResultsThe prevalence of eating disorder subtypes before and/or during pregnancy was: 0.09% AN (n = 54), 0.94% BN (n = 585), 0.10% EDNOS-P (n = 61) and 5.00% BED (n = 3104). The highest over-time prevalence of psychotropic use was within the AN (3.7–22.2%) and EDNOS-P (3.3–9.8%) groups. Compared to controls, BN was directly associated with incident use of psychotropics in pregnancy (adjusted RR: 2.25, 99% CI: 1.17–4.32). Having AN (adjusted RR: 5.11, 99% CI: 1.53–17.01) or EDNOS-P (adjusted RR: 6.77, 99% CI: 1.41–32.53) was directly associated with use of anxiolytics/sedatives postpartum. The estimates of use of analgesics (BED) and laxatives (all eating disorders subtypes) were high at all time periods investigated.ConclusionsUse of psychotropic, gastrointestinal, and analgesic medications is extensive among women with eating disorders in the period around pregnancy. Female patients with eating disorders should receive evidence-based counseling about the risk of medication exposure versus the risk of untreated psychiatric illness during pregnancy and postpartum.

description: Interaction of circularly polarized laser pulses with spherical nano-droplets generates nanometer-size magnets with lifetime on the order of hundreds of femtoseconds. Such magnetic dipoles are close enough in a cluster target and magnetic interaction takes place. We investigate such system of several magnetic dipoles and describe their rotation in the framework of Lagrangian formalism. The semi-analytical results are compared to particle-in-cell simulations, which confirm the theoretically obtained terrahertz frequency of the dipole oscillation.

description: We present the kinematic morphology-density relation in three galaxy clusters, Abell 85, 168 and 2399, using data from the SAMI Pilot Survey. We classify the early-type galaxies in our sample as fast or slow rotators (FRs/SRs) according to a measured proxy for their projected specific stellar angular momentum. We find each cluster contains both fast and slow rotators with and average fraction of SRs in the sample of $f_{SR}=0.15\pm$0.04. We investigate this fraction within each cluster as a function of local projected galaxy density. For Abell 85 we find that $f_{SR}$ increases at high local density but for Abell 168 and 2399 this trend is not seen. We find SRs not just at the centres of our clusters but also on the outskirts and hypothesise that these SRs may have formed in group environments eventually accreted to the larger cluster.

description: Zagier's well-known work on traces of singular moduli relates the coefficients of certain weakly holomorphic modular forms of weight $1/2$ to traces of values of the modular $j$-function at imaginary quadratic points. A real quadratic analogue was recently studied by Duke, Imamoglu, and Tóth. They showed that the coefficients of certain weight $1/2$ mock modular forms \[ f_D = \sum_{d>0} a(d,D) q^d, \qquad D>0 \] are given in terms of traces of cycle integrals of the $j$-function. Their result applies to those coefficients $a(d,D)$ for which $dD$ is not a square. Recently Bruinier, Funke, and Imamoglu employed a regularized theta lift to show that the coefficients $a(d,D)$ for square $dD$ are traces of regularized integrals of the $j$-function. In the present paper we provide an alternate approach to this problem. We introduce functions $j_{m,Q}$ (for $Q$ a quadratic form) which are related to the $j$-function and show, by modifying the method of Duke, Imamoglu, and Tóth, that the coefficients for which $dD$ is a square are traces of cycle integrals of the functions $j_{m,Q}$.

description: Packaged drinking water (PW) sold in bottles and plastic bags/sachets is widely consumed in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), and many urban users in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) rely on packaged sachet water (PSW) as their primary source of water for consumption. However, few rigorous studies have investigated PSW quality in SSA, and none have compared PSW to stored household water for consumption (HWC). A clearer understanding of PSW quality in the context of alternative sources is needed to inform policy and regulation. As elsewhere in SSA, PSW is widely consumed in Sierra Leone, but government oversight is nearly nonexistent. This study examined the microbiological and chemical quality of a representative sample of PSW products in Freetown, Sierra Leone at packaged water manufacturing facilities (PWMFs) and at points of sale (POSs). Samples of HWC were also analyzed for comparison. The study did not find evidence of serious chemical contamination among the parameters studied. However, 19% of 45 PSW products sampled at the PWMF contained detectable Escherichia coli (EC), although only two samples exceeded 10 CFU/100 mL. Concentrations of total coliforms (TC) in PSW (but not EC) increased along the supply chain. Samples of HWC from 60 households in Freetown were significantly more likely to contain EC and TC than PSW at the point of production (p<0.01), and had significantly higher concentrations of both bacterial indicators (p<0.01). These results highlight the need for additional PSW regulation and surveillance, while demonstrating the need to prioritize the safety of HWC. At present, PSW may be the least unsafe option for many households.

description: Due to climate change the frequency and character of precipitation are changing as the hydrological cycle intensifies. With regards to snowfall, global warming has two opposing influences; increasing humidity enables intense snowfall, whereas higher temperatures decrease the likelihood of snowfall. Here we show an intensification of extreme snowfall across large areas of the Northern Hemisphere under future warming. This is robust across an ensemble of global climate models when they are bias-corrected with observational data. While mean daily snowfall decreases, both the 99th and the 99.9th percentiles of daily snowfall increase in many regions in the next decades, especially for Northern America and Asia. Additionally, the average intensity of snowfall events exceeding these percentiles as experienced historically increases in many regions. This is likely to pose a challenge to municipalities in mid to high latitudes. Overall, extreme snowfall events are likely to become an increasingly important impact of climate change in the next decades, even if they will become rarer, but not necessarily less intense, in the second half of the century.

Year: 2015

description: In today’s knowledge based economy knowledge has become the most important competitive advantage of organizations. On the other hand, Information technology improves business values by playing an enabler role in knowledge management infrastructure. Many organizations to take advantage of the benefits of knowledge management systems have introduced, design and use KM systems as a systematic way of applying IT to KM. These systems help organizations to improve competitive power and efficiency in knowledge management. However, there are limitations in reaching these goals leading to failure to make full use of the potential benefits of these systems. Thus, this article studies limitations in these systems through an empirical survey. By reviewing literature, limitation factors divided into three categories: system quality limitations, knowledge quality limitations and service quality limitations. System quality limitations refer to the information processing system criteria. A questionnaire was developed and distributed among the users in several companies that implemented this system. Data were collected and analyzed based on 176 questionnaires related to structural modeling. Then in order to analyze the data, Warp PLS has been employed. The results show that knowledge Quality were statistically and service quality and system quality respectively the most significant factors that affects user dissatisfaction and there is a positive relationship between three limitations redounded to user dissatisfaction of the knowledge management systems.

Year: 2015

description: This research was done with the aim of identifying and determining facets in network of correlated relationships of inside and outside field of Islamic Ethic Thesaurus using content analysis method. The research society consisted of 3316 published terms in Islamic Ethic Thesaurus which have correlated relationship together. The method of data collecting was documentary (Library). According to the findings Personality Facet, with 23 lateral and subset facets and 78.55 percent usage, has the most usage in correlated relationships of Islamic Ethic Thesaurus. The Space Facet without subset facet and 0.05 percent usage, has the minimum usage in correlated relationships of Islamic Ethic Thesaurus. Thus, it can be said that ‘Personality’ Facet has the most frequency, and ‘Space’ Facet has the minimum frequency between facets of network of correlated relationships in concepts of inside and outside field of Islamic Ethic Thesaurus. In this study according to the requirements of Islamic Ethic Thesaurus 6 facets were described which include facets of love and friendship, facets of foundation/basis, facets of pests and damages, facets of internal characteristics/sense, facets of signs and symptoms, and facets of ranks and grade.
A new Expert Finding model based on Term Correlation Matrix

description: Due to the enormous volume of unstructured information available on the Web and inside organization, finding an answer to the knowledge need in a short time is difficult. For this reason, beside Search Engines which don’t consider users individual characteristics, Recommender systems were created which use user’s previous activities and other individual characteristics to help users find needed knowledge. Recommender systems usage is increasing every day. Expert finder systems also by introducing expert people instead of recommending information to users have provided this facility for users to ask their questions form experts. Having relation with experts not only causes information transition, but also with transferring experiences and inception causes knowledge transition. In this paper we used university professors academic resume as expert people profile and then proposed a new expert finding model that recommends experts to users query. We used Term Correlation Matrix, Vector Space Model and PageRank algorithm and proposed a new hybrid model which outperforms conventional methods. This model can be used in internet environment, organizations and universities that experts have resume dataset.

description: Incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EA) has increased substantially in recent decades. Multiple risk factors have been identified for EA and its precursor, Barrett’s esophagus (BE), such as reflux, European ancestry, male sex, obesity, and tobacco smoking, and several germline genetic variants were recently associated with disease risk. Using data from the Barrett’s and Esophageal Adenocarcinoma Consortium (BEACON) genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 2,515 EA cases, 3,295 BE cases, and 3,207 controls, we examined single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that potentially affect the biogenesis or biological activity of microRNAs (miRNAs), small non-coding RNAs implicated in post-transcriptional gene regulation, and deregulated in many cancers, including EA. Polymorphisms in three classes of genes were examined for association with risk of EA or BE: miRNA biogenesis genes (157 SNPs, 21 genes); miRNA gene loci (234 SNPs, 210 genes); and miRNA-targeted mRNAs (177 SNPs, 158 genes). Nominal associations (P<0.05) of 29 SNPs with EA risk, and 25 SNPs with BE risk, were observed. None remained significant after correction for multiple comparisons (FDR q>0.50), and we did not find evidence for interactions between variants analyzed and two risk factors for EA/BE (smoking and obesity). This analysis provides the most extensive assessment to date of miRNA-related SNPs in relation to risk of EA and BE. While common genetic variants within components of the miRNA biogenesis core pathway appear unlikely to modulate susceptibility to EA or BE, further studies may be warranted to examine potential associations between unassessed variants in miRNA genes and targets with disease risk.

description: In spite of both technical and fundamental importance, reversal of a macroscopic magnetization by an electric field (E) has been limitedly realized and remains as one of great challenges. Here, we report the realization of modulation and reversal of large magnetization (M) by E in a multiferroic crystal Ba0.5Sr1.5Zn2(Fe0.92Al0.08)12O22, in which a transverse conical spin state exhibits a remanent M and electric polarization below ~150 K. Upon sweeping E between +- 2 MV/m, M is quasi-linearly varied between +- 2 μB/f.u., resulting in the M reversal. Moreover, the remanent M shows non-volatile changes of ΔM = +- 0.15 μB/f.u., depending on the history of the applied electric fields. The large modulation and the non-volatile two-states of M at zero magnetic field are observable up to ~150 K where the transverse conical spin state is stabilized. Nuclear magnetic resonance measurements provide microscopic evidences that the electric field and the magnetic field play an equivalent role, rendering the volume of magnetic domains change accompanied by the domain wall motion. The present findings point to a new pathway for realizing the large magnetization reversal by electric fields at fairly high temperatures.

Publisher: name: Iranian Research Institute for Information Science and Technology (IranDoc)
Year: 2015

description: In this study, we sought to provide a comprehensive and scientific approach to assess the continuing effectiveness of information systems. In the present studies, only the dimensions of effectiveness of information systems have been used to assess these systems. This study is seeking to eliminate the gap. After reviewing the literature and receive comments of 55 experts of NZAJA IT, the indicators that affecting the effectiveness of information systems in military centers were extracted. In this study, data based on fuzzy analytic hierarchy process as a process of multi-criteria decision were analysis. A total of 39 Criteria and 8 sub-criteria to assess the effectiveness of information systems in military centers were set. The results show that organizational factors and data quality have rank first and second in evaluating the effectiveness of information systems in military organizations. At the end of the model for evaluating the effectiveness of information systems in five military base is used.
Methodological levels of abductive logic and its application in analyzing knowledge classification systems
Publisher: name: Iranian Research Institute for Information Science and Technology (IranDoc)
Year: 2015

description: Purpose: This paper distinguishes between “methodology” and “method” and discusses methodological levels of abductive logic as related to the knowledge classification systems. The purpose is to clarify the application of abductive logic for analyzing knowledge classification systems as an alternative for mainstream logics in the field, i.e. inductive and deductive logic. Methodology: Conceptual analysis. Findings: Abductive logic approaches reality as a social construction. It is obviously an interpretative and constructivist approach. Therefore its aim is to understand the social phenomena that socially constructed by social agents. Therefore any given knowledge classification system is a socially constructed phenomenon reflecting subjective biases and prejudices of its creators. Knowledge classification systems aren’t innocent objective systems. They are systems that determined and restricted by cultural and social forces operating as their conditions of production. Every classification system has some kind of ontological and epistemological commitment. Therefore we should recognize “alternative” classification systems based on “alternative” ontological and epistemological commitments, as legitimate as current mainstream classification systems. Originality/Value: Introduces methodological levels of abductive logic and provides LIS professionals with a new and alternative way for analyzing knowledge classification systems as interpretative and semantic social constructions.

Publisher: name: Iranian Research Institute for Information Science and Technology (IranDoc)
Year: 2015

description: Purpose: The present research has been done to visual representation of knowledge and determination vacuum and density points of scientific trends of faculty members of state universities of IRAN in Library & Information Science field. Method: Curriculum Vitae of each faculty member with census method were collected and its content analyzed. Then using a checklist, the rate scientific tendencies were extracted. NodeXL software was deployed to map out the levels. Results: The results showed that the trends are concentrated in Scientometrics, Research method in Library & Information Science, information organization, information resources, psychology, Education, Management, the Web, Knowledge management, Academic Libraries, Information services, Information Theories and collection management. Apparently, the Library & Information Science community of experts pays little or no attention to the Library & Information Science applications in the fields of chemistry, Cartography, museum, law, art, school libraries as well as to independent subject clusters such as minorities in library, information architecture, mentoring in library science, library automation, preservation, oral history, cybernetics, copyright, information marketing and information economy. Lack of efforts on these areas is remarkable.

description: Secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA), a dimeric antibody found in high quantities in the gastrointestinal mucosa, is broadly associated with mucosal immune protection. A distinguishing feature of sIgA is its ability to crosslink pathogens, thereby creating pathogen/sIgA aggregates that are too large to traverse the dense matrix of mucin fibers in mucus layers overlying epithelial cells and consequently reducing infectivity. Here, we use modeling to investigate this mechanism of “immune exclusion” based on sIgA-mediated agglutination, in particular the potential use of sIgA to agglutinate HIV in cervicovaginal mucus (CVM) and prevent HIV transmission. Utilizing reported data on HIV diffusion in CVM and semen, we simulate HIV collision kinetics in physiologically-thick mucus layers–a necessary first step for sIgA-induced aggregation. We find that even at the median HIV load in semen of acutely infected individuals possessing high viral titers, over 99% of HIV virions will penetrate CVM and reach the vaginal epithelium without colliding with another virion. These findings imply that agglutination is unlikely to be the dominant mechanism of sIgA-mediated protection against HIV or other sexually transmitted pathogens. Rather, we surmise that agglutination is most effective against pathogens either present at exceedingly high concentrations or that possess motility mechanisms other than Brownian diffusion that significantly enhance encounter rates.

description: The fly tracking software Ctrax by Branson et al. is popular for positional tracking of animals both within and beyond the fly community. Ctrax was not designed to handle tracking in difficult lighting conditions with strong shadows or recurring "on"/"off" changes in lighting - a condition that will likely become increasingly common due to the advent of red-shifted channelrhodopsin. We describe Ctrax extensions we developed that address this problem. The extensions enabled good tracking accuracy in three types of difficult lighting conditions in our lab. Our technique handling shadows relies on "single animal tracking"; the other techniques should be widely applicable.
Co-word analysis: a study on the links and boundaries between information and knowledge management according to iranian press authors
Publisher: name: Iranian Research Institute for Information Science and Technology (IranDoc)
Year: 2015

description: Information and knowledge management has emerged as major tools for collecting and regulating available data to spread over an entire organ.The present study is to identify the links and boundaries between the two management systems. Co-word analysis method is obtained as research method since along with other scientometric techniques is a parameter for content analysis. Articles accepted for domestic journals and conferences constitute the population of this study. The current research findings indicate that there are 230 and 123 keywords in the field of knowledge management and information management, respectively among which only 8 words are of shared use. In other words, the lexical boundary is 8.52%. More specifically, the boundary is made up of the concept of recorded knowledge. The results also showed that knowledge management provides the ground for all management areas to some extent on the other hand, information management prepares the situation for studying on areas such as medical records or science. We found that information science can be considered as a shared boundary between the two studied areas. Extracting documented keywords for these two management areas is still another finding of this study.
Designing and Implementing Basic Sciences Ontology Based on Concepts and Relationships of Relevant Thesauri
Publisher: name: Iranian Research Institute for Information Science and Technology (IranDoc)

description: Currently, the main portion of knowledge is stored in electronic texts and documents and for transferring that knowledge effectively, we must use proper methods to gather and retrieve relevant information. Ontologies provide means to produce structured documents and use intelligent search instead of keyword search. Ontology defines the common words and concepts used to describe and represent an area of knowledge. However, developing ontologies is a time consuming and labor work, so many ontology developers try to facilitate and speed up this process by reusing other resources. In fact, thesaurus contains semantic information and hierarchical structure that make it an appropriate resource for ontology construction. Therefore, we determined to use the thesauri previously developed at Iranian Research Institute for Information Science and Technology (IRANDOC) to construct ontology in basic sciences domain. At first, we synchronized common concepts in thesauri before integrating them as a macro thesaurus and removed inconsistencies. To reduce the amount of time and human resources which were needed for synchronizing process, Thesaurus Synchronizer was developed to illustrate differences between matched cases of two thesauri. It provides powerful tools for demonstrating differences and suggestions for each of the existing matters. Thus, domain experts synchronized each two thesaurus semi-automatically. Then we merged thesauri and transform the data format into ISO 25964 standard. The conceptual model have been designed based on the terms and their relationships in the integrated thesaurus and the concept maps that were designed by domain experts for each of basic sciences (Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Geology and Mathematics). We used the methodology called METHONTOLOGY in this stage. The main activity in this methodology is conceptualization and it enables the construction of ontologies at the knowledge level. Ultimately, the ontology was generated by formalizing and implementing the conceptual model in OWL, a web ontology language which is recommended by the World Wide Web Consortium. The next step is to refine the relationships to more specific semantic relations. Our domain experts tried to refine some relationships manually but we decide to design an appropriate method for refining the ontology semi-automatically. Also we need to add more details to our ontology and turn it into heavyweight ontology to get more advantages from it in formal reasoning. The main aim of this project is to create a standard ontology to be used in information storage and retrieval system.
