Financial data was collected from 10 Iranian banks from 2006 to 2011. Regression methods for data analyzing was used and the results shown that  capital adequacy had a inverse relationship and debt to equity ratio had an positive relationship with credit risk that there weren’t any relation between another variables with credit risk.  The capital adequacy had a positive relationship with liquidity risk , as well as the cash to asset ratio, sizes of banks and debt to equity ratio had an inverse relationship with liquidity risk .On the other hand, the cash to asset ratio, sizes of banks and capital adequacy had a inverse statistically significant relationship with operational risk. The regression results reports that there weren’t any relation between the debts to equity ratio and operational risk. <#LINE#> @ @ EN Bank, Asset & Liability Management and Liquidity Risk in Financial Institutions, Fara sokhan, Tehran (2006) @No $ @ @ Vakilifard H., Decisions on financial issues, Jangal, Tehran, (2011) @No $ @ @ Hull L., Foreign-Owned Banks: Implications for New Zealand’s Financial Stability, Discussion Paper Series, (2002) @No $ @ @ Hoyt R. and Liebenberg A., The value of enterprise risk management: Evidence from the U.S. insurance industry, American Risk and Insurance Association Annual Meeting, USA, Washington D.C.

<#LINE#>Intelligent Passive Anti-Islanding Protection for Doubly Fed Induction Generators<#LINE#>S.S.@Madani,A.@Abbaspour,Rezaie@BenamM.,A.M.@Ranjbar<#LINE#>8-13<#LINE#>2.ISCA-RJRS-2013-051.pdf<#LINE#>Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, IRAN <#LINE#>13/2/2013<#LINE#>25/3/2013<#LINE#>The integration of wind generation units into power system introduces several issues including islanding operation. Therefore, the system should be protected from islanding phenomenon by a fast and reliable islanding detection method. In this paper an intelligent anti-islanding protection approach is proposed to detect islanding states for Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) units. Different features based on rate of change of voltage, frequency, active power and reactive power at DG bus are employed to construct feature vectors. Because of intermittency of wind power, different generating states for DFIG unit are assumed. Probable events are simulated under system operating states to construct classification data set. Decision tree algorithm due to its high classification speed, implication simplicity and high accuracy, is used to classify instances. The proposed method is tested on typical distribution system including DFIG and different loads. The studies showed that this method succeeds in DFIG anti-islanding protection with high accuracy and negligible false trips. Because of high detection speed of decision tree algorithm, the proposed method is capable to protect the system from asynchronous reconnection of auto-reclosers.  <#LINE#> @ @ Byeon G., Park I.

This study analyzed determinants associated with no high-cost dental prostheses provision to identify barriers to efficient service delivery. In fiscal year 2010, up to 827 patients received complete denture services which accounted for 3,145,015 THBs reimbursed expense to the National Health Security Office. Median of reimbursement was 74,800 THBs and the reimbursement ranged from 3,280 THBs to 357,896 THBs, excluding a hospital with no reimbursement. Median of labour productivity ratios was 7 cases per dentist and the highest ratio was 16.7 cases per dentist. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression to estimate crude and adjusted association between interested parameters i.e. hospital sizes, numbers of dentists, and degrees of ruralitycould not be undertaken due to insufficient outcome of no service provision. Graphical analysis using box-and whisker diagrams to explore relationship between labour input and service output depicted only primary relationship. Thus further investigation using more advanced analytical techniques of efficiency analysis and total productivity analysis was suggested to comprehensively identify hindrances of high-cost complete denture service delivery problem. <#LINE#> @ @ Bureau of Claim Administration, Manual of claim for health service expenses, Thailand: National Health Security Office (2012) @No $ @ @ Eungpoonsawat W., Weerasrethakul K., Siriwattanapisan S., Limpanyalert A. and Lamduan W., National Dental Fund: a changing point for solving dental public health problems, Bulletin of Thai Dental Council,  15(Nov.-Dec.), 8-10 (2010) @No $ @ @ National Health Security Office, Manual for national health security fund administration: fiscal year 2010, book 1, Thailand: National Health Security Office, (2010) @No $ @ @ Ministry of Public Health, Official correspondence: list of district hospitals in rural areas with shortage of health professionals in fiscal years 2009-2010, Thailand: Ministry of Public Health, (2009) @No $ @ @ Samuelson P. and Nordhaus W., Microeconomics, (17thed.), Boston, MA: McGraw-Hill (2001) @No $ @ @ Coelli T., Rao D., O’Donnell C., and Battese G., An introduction to efficiency and productivity analysis, (2nded.), New York: Springer (2005) @No

Countries can improve their economies by fostering knowledge based exports. Developing countries have extensive youth force and quality education can transform them into an active resource for their countries. Computing is an important discipline and quality graduates in this domain can actively participate in increasing software exports. In this paper we investigated Pakistani students in computing discipline to understand the level of quality. The findings of the survey suggest overall quality of teaching in Pakistani higher education institutions in increasing, but there are some minor areas of concerns which should be improved. The findings of this paper help education planners in Pakistan to improve learning among students. <#LINE#> @ @ Pears A.N., Does quality assurance enhance the quality of computing education?

Therefore, one purpose of the present paper is to specify criteria which are closely related to this issue and are capable of assessing the performance of economic units and ultimately, their wealth in a more accurate fashion.This paper examines the relationship between moderated economic  value added as well as some accounting and financial criteria such as return on stock, earnings per share (EPS), return on assets and return on equities with the market’s value added as an external indicator of value-creation (the study’s dependent variable) between 2006 and 2010 using the pooled data method. Results indicate that all study variables are in direct linear and significant relationship with market value added at a 95% confidence level. At the same time, the results suggest that moderated economic value added, after returns on equities, has the strongest relationship with market value added. <#LINE#> @ @ Mouelhi C. and Saint J., The relationship between external and internal performance measures of the firm: A panel cointegration approach, Social Science Research Network, Electronic copy available at: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers (2010) @No $ @ @ Abzari Mahdi et al., Performance evaluation of substantial metals group firms in Tehran stock exchange using EVA model and examination of its relationship with earnings accounting criteria, Financial research 26(1), 20-23 (2008) @No $ @ @ Jahankhani A., and Zariffard A., Do managers and shareholders use appropriate measures to assess value?

Research instrument was a 55-item questionnaire which was distributed among 90 employees of Golestan province gas company in Iran out of which 82 was returned and only 79 one was usable. Hence, response rate in this research was 91%. While Validity was approved based on conformity factor analysis results, reliability was approved by Cronbach’s alpha which more than 0.7 was. In order to test hypothesis we used Pearson correlation analysis and structural equation modelingResearch findings indicated that emotional Intelligence is negatively associated with problem solving and bargaining strategies. However there isn’t any significant relationship between emotional intelligence and control strategy. Since conflict management styles are affected by variety of antecedents, future studies are needed to investigate other influence factors such as personal characteristic, innovation and etc. There is also need to investigate this research among managers and subordinates simultaneously in order to compare results. <#LINE#> @ @ Pruitt D.G. and Carnevale P.J.,Negotiation in Social Conflict, Open University Press, Milton Keynes (1993) @No $ @ @ Jehn K.A.,A multi method examination of the benefits and detriments of intra group conflict, Administrative Science Quarterl, 40, 256-82 (1995) @No $ @ @ Amason A.C., Distinguishing the effect of functional and dysfunctional conflict on strategic decision making: resolving a paradox for top management teams, Academy of Management Journal, 39, 123-48 (1996) @No $ @ @ Antonioni D., Relationship between the Big Five Personality Factors and Conflict, InternationalJournal of Conflict Management, 9(4), 336-356 (1998) @No $ @ @ Ming L.F., Conflict Management Styles and Emotional Intelligence, National Changhua University of Education (2004) @No $ @ @ Rahim M.A., Zhao J.H., Yu C.S., Chan K.W., Kwok W.Y., Alves M.G., Lee C.W., Rahman M.S., Ferdausy S. and Rene V.W., A Model of Emotional Intelligence and Conflict Management Strategies: A Study in Seven Countries, The International Journal of Organizational Analysis, 10), 302-326 (2002) @No $ @ @ Bar-on R.

Fire risk of these materials was assessed on the basis of heat flux density effect on the ignition time of tested materials with thickness of 12, 15 and 18 mm. The dependence of initiation time on the heat flux density was determined by the apparatus (cone heater) according to the ISO 5657:1997 through the modified testing procedure. The testing procedure modification consists of specimen heat flux exposure without any secondary initiator use. The minimal heat flux density at which ignition occurred was 43 kW / m for the OSB boards, and 40 kW / m2 for the chipboards. The obtained data show that the ignition time of assessed wooden materials decreases exponentially with increasing heat flux density. Obtained data imply also a fact that the influence of studied materials thickness on the ignition time decreases with increasing heat flux density. Measured data imply an independence of minimal heat flux density on studied materials thickness, as well.  <#LINE#> @ @ Wang Y., Hadjisophocleousb G. and Zalok E.

The present work aims at to study the application of different synthesized and commercial flocculants such as poly(acrylamide) (P.A.M), poly(acrylic acid) (P.A.A), and Magnafloc LT-27, Separan AP-30 on sugarcane variety Co-62175 for fresh and stale cane juice clarification. The result reveals that synthasized flocculant P.A.A gave better turbidity of juice compared to the commercial flocculants, and also commercial flocculant Separan AP-30 shows good settling time compared to all other flocculants. On the other hand if the time lag is more between harvest to crush Magnafloc LT-27 gave good results even then juice clarified after 48 hr. Generally if the sugarcane crushed after 24 hr definitely it consumes more flocculants and due to this manufacture of commercial sugar because expensive. <#LINE#> @ @ Chen J.C.P., Chou C.C., Cane sugar handbook, Twelfth edition, Published simultaneously in Canada, (1993) @No $ @ @ Bose S., Gupya K.G., Mukherjee S. and Singh L.,  Proc.

This because in a continuously changing political and societal environment, the systems need to be continually improved in order to accommodate unanticipated changes and evolutions. To respond to this need, policy executors are paying increasing attention to agile information systems. Evaluation of these systems agility is of critical importance; it gives measure of their readiness for change; and it may be considered as a sort of diagnosis that identifies less or non agile areas of the system on which work must be focused. This paper is in this scope and it deals with a method for evaluation of e-government Information Systems agility. This method is based on methods engineering domain; thus, it is built in the form of method components. Each component presents appropriate guidelines that realize an intention/activity within the overall evaluation process. The research methodology followed in this work is the interpretive approach based on in-depth case-studies which is widely accepted in the validation research in Information Systems domain including the Electronic government area (E-government). <#LINE#> @ @ Mentzas G., Knowledge and Semantic Technologies for Agile and Adaptive Egovernment, 7th Global Forum on Reinventing Government: Building Trust in Government 26 – 29 June 2007, Vienna, Austria (2007) @No $ @ @ Apostolou D., Mentzas G., Stojanovic L., Thoenssen B. and Lobo T.P., A collaborative decision framework for managing changes in e-government services, Government Information Quarterly, 28(1), 101–116 (2011) @No $ @ @ Droudi H. and Dindar F., An Investigation on the Relation between Human Resources Management and Organizational Developments, Res.

The idea is to attain the ubiquitous connectivity for vehicles either through efficient vehicle-to-vehicle or vehicle-to-infrastructure communication that enables the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). In order to design a suitable and efficient routing protocol in VANET, a comprehensive study on popular existing VANET routing protocols must be considered as a tangible need. In this paper, AODV, AOMDV, DSR, DSDV are exploited to be compared in terms of routing performance based on vehicle velocity and vehicle density. <#LINE#> @ @ Bansal M., Rajput R. and Gupta G., Mobile ad hoc networking (MANET): Routing protocol performance issues and evaluation considerations (1999) @No $ @ @ Nagadeepa N., Enhanced Bluetooth Technology to Assist the High Way Vehicle Drivers, Research Journal of Recent Sciences 1(8), 82-85 (2012) @No $ @ @ Mewada S. and Singh U.K., Performance Analysis of Secure Wireless Mesh NetworksResearch Journal of Recent Sciences, 1(3), 80-85 (2012) @No $ @ @ Fujii H., Hayashi O. and Nakagata N., Experimental research on inter-vehicle communication using infrared rays, IEEE, (1996) @No $ @ @ Shladover S.E., The california path program of ivhs research and its approach to vehicle-highway automation, IEEE, (1992) @No $ @ @ Gehring O. and Fritz H., Practical results of a longitudinal control concept for truck platooning with vehicle to vehicle communication, IEEE,(1997) @No $ @ @ Reichardt D., et al.

The tract, being an innovative parody of dictionaries of its time in Islamic world, depicts vices of sociopolitical life of Iran after Mongol invasion at the end of the 13th century. It is studied on the lexicographic base, classifying it as a quasi-dictionary, analyzing its lexicographic features such as headwords, internal structure, synonyms, and definition formulae. The paper terminates with a discussion of the appended sections, identifying the author of The Definitions of Mull Do Piyzeh as Mull Do Piyzeh of Delhi, a court wit of Akbar (1556-1605) the Mongol emperor of India. The authors of less important appendices are still unknown. While there are many extracts from Zni’s Definitions throughout the paper showing its significance, excerpts from Mull Do Piyzeh’s definitions seemed necessary to include. <#LINE#> @ @ Browne E.G., A literary of History of Persia, (First Edition 1902) Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 3(5), 232-3, 251, 202 (1969) @No $ @ @ Halabi, A.

Countries and islands in the region each are looking for their own ways and policies. There are a lot of cultural diversities, linguistic, religious and political preferences of their work in this area. This area has a variety of different areas, and it is obvious that the homogeneity and unity play a significant role in this strategic region. Not considering the recommendations of the internal affairs of another region, lack of solidarity and suitable political ties leads the regional countries not to comply with the decisions of the council as well as the Arabic countries. But the tendency towards ally, military contracts, political and other countries with strong economic and industrial world, the pictures and their bases are in this region. In this study, the difference between the expression of different points to strengths and weaknesses in this area is clear and it became a precedent for solving the region's problems. In this paper, regional and global issues will be discussed in the hope of being able to resolve any differences with each other. <#LINE#> @ @ Assiri H.A., Kuwait's Foreign Policy: City-State in World Politics, Boulder, Colorado: Westview Press, 84 (1990) @No $ @ @ Cordesman A.H., The (Persian) Gulf and the Search for Strategic Stability, Boulder, Colorado: Westview Press, 155-178 (1984) @No $ @ @ Al-Alkim A., The GCC States in an Unstable World: Foreign-Policy Dilemmas of Small States, London: Saqi Books, 76-84, 87 (1994) @No $ @ @ Sir A., Within View of the Cooperation Between the Countries of the Persian Gulf, Whole Proceedings Fifth Conference on the Persian Gulf, 20 (1994) @No $ @ @ Al-Alkim A., The Foreign policy of the United Arab Emirates, London: Saqi Books, 125-161 (1998) @No $ @ @ Greenwood W.T., Iraq's Invasion of Kwait: Some Legal, Maryland: University Press of America, (47)3, 39-43(1991) @No $ @ @ Eilts H., Foreign Policy Perspectives of the Gulf States, London: Saqi Books, 1(4), 86 (1988) @No $ @ @ Abir M., Saudi-Soviet Relations and the Iran-Iraq War, Middle-East Review, (22)1, 11-12 (1989) @No $ @ @ Huntington S.P., The Clash of Civilization, Foreign Affairs, (72)3, 27-35 (1993) @No

Present research focus on Mecoprop adsorbent capacity of Basolite, a zinc based metal organic framework.Basolite (C12Zn) having a pore width 11.6Å and pore aperture 3.4Å has been used here for entrapping Mecoprop a commonly used pesticide which has very high mobility and a common contaminant for aquatic systems. Due to a very high surface area i.e 1300-1800 m/gm of basolite and specific pore size it is found to be very efficient for adsorption purpose and another important property of Basolite is that it gets reactivated at 100C so can be used again and again. Adsorption of pesticide by Basolite column was confirmed by UV Visible spectroscopy. The study revealed that Basolite adsorb Mecoprop due to entrapment of Mecoprop inside its pores. Basolite can be used for preparing filters on large scale for removing harmful pesticide from aquatic systems. <#LINE#> @ @ Zolghamein J., Shahmoradi A., Ghasemi J., Pesticide removal using conventional and low cost adsorbents: A review, Clean soil,air,water,39(12) , 1105-1119 (2011) @No $ @ @ Sherma, J.,Pesticides.
