Knowledge sharing as one of the most important knowledge management processes has been discussed in this research. The purpose of this study is investigating relationship between the Nonaka’s conditions for organizational Knowledge Creation and strengthening interpersonal Knowledge Sharing in the “Oil Industries Engineering and Construction Co. (OIEC)”. A quantitative questionnaire based servey was used to collect the required data and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to test the questions. The findings suggest that the “project intention”, ”personal autonomy”, “autonomy of project team” and “requisite variety” have impact on “attitude toward knowledge sharing”, and there is no significant...

This Thesis aim to study the evolution of knowledge network in the path of innovation capability accumulation in knowledge-based firms, active in Iran's innovation system as a sanctioned economy. The research, by an in-depth case study and at the micro level, examines the accumulation of capabilities and the evolution of the knowledge networks for two knowledge-based firms active in the manufacture of linear accelerators and cargo-scanners as high-tech products. The results show that 1) the accumulation of capabilities from low levels to advance is based on product diversity and the knowledge inputs, which was first through "using, doing and interacting" has changed to "science, technology... 

Drug repurposing, which means finding a drug for a disease among approved drugs, is a solution for decreasing drug development time and cost. However,drug repurposing suggestions have been serendipitous so far. Therefore,proposing a systematic method for drug repurposing is crucial in terms of cost and human life savings. Recently, biological network-based methods for drug repurposing have had promising results among computational methods. But,these methods have some limitations too. First, the size and variety of data used in these methods are limited. Second, heterogeneous data is either not used or converted to homogeneous data leading to information loss in these methods. Finally, not... 

In today’s methodical corporate world, processes have been recognized as valuable organizational knowledge assets. Situational Method Engineering (SME) processes are considered particularly valuable because of their effectiveness in building context-specific software processes for developing efficient software systems; thus, they indirectly affect all software-dependent organizational knowledge assets, including organizational processes. It is therefore logical to deduce that managing SME knowledge would improve the efficiency of both SME and organizational processes. Unfortunately, existing SME processes suffer from weaknesses that are rooted in loss of knowledge within method engineering...
