@Research Paper <#LINE#>Investigating Influence of Psychological Empowerment on Resiliency and Job Satisfaction among Employees of Insurance Firms<#LINE#>Sahar@Amanati<#LINE#>1-5<#LINE#>1. ISCA-RJRS-2013-241.pdf<#LINE#> Business Management Department, Allameh Tabataba'i University, Tehran, IRAN <#LINE#>1/5/2013<#LINE#>23/12/2013<#LINE#> This study aims at investigating impact of psychological empowerment on resilience and job satisfaction in employees of insurance companies. To this end, 241 employees of insurance companies were selected using simple random sampling. Findings suggest that resiliency has a significant positive impact on satisfaction of employees. In addition, psychological empowerment components including meaning, self-determination and competence also play a significant role as predictors of job satisfaction. Finally, meaning and self-determination also influence in predicting resilience of employees. Thus, it can be said that job satisfaction of employees can be improved by promoting psychological empowerment. <#LINE#> @ @ Pieterse A.N., Van Knippenberg D., Schippers M. andStam D, Transformational and transactional leadership and innovative behavior: The moderating role of psychological empowerment, Journal of Organizational Behavior, 31(4), 609–623 (2010) @No $ @ @ Spreitzer G.M., Psychological empowerment in the workplace: Dimensions, measurement, and validation,Academy of Management Journal,38(5), 1442-1465 (1995) @No $ @ @ Wallace J.C., Johnson P.D., Mathe K. and Paul J, Structural and psychological empowerment climates, performance, and the moderating role of shared felt accountability : A managerial perspective, Journal of Applied Psychology, 96(4), 840–850 (2011) @No $ @ @ Faulkner J. and Laschinger H, The effects of structural and psychological empowerment on perceived respect in acute care nurses, Journal of Nursing Management, 16(2), 214–221 (2008) @No $ @ @ Ergeneli A., Ar G.S. and Metin S, Psychological empowerment and its relationship to trust in immediate managers, Journal of Business Research, 60(1), 41–49(2007) @No $ @ @ Davydov D.M., Stewart R.

In this study, in order to modify the pseudo static method on the basis of seismic behavior of soil nailed walls, it has been tried to define the pseudo static coefficient as a function of main parameters of earthquakes, soil mass, and geometry of the structure. To do so, among the important factors of earthquakes (maximum acceleration, predominant period, effective time, magnitude), the predominant period and among geotechnical and geometrical characteristics (height of structure, length of nails, horizontal and vertical distance between of nails, geotechnical properties of soil, angel of slope), the height of structure have been picked up as primarily parameters. To choose appropriate coefficient for the specific earthquake record, and geotechnical and geometrical characteristics, the behavior of soil nailed walls in two modes of dynamic and pseudo static seismic behavior have been synchronized for wall horizontal displacements. Afterwards, pseudo static coefficient is defined as a function of predominant period and height of structure. Obtained results demonstrate the great impact of height of structure and predominant earthquake period on the pseudo static seismic coefficient. They include the fact that the increase in the height will bring the decrease in the pseudo static coefficient and the highest of coefficients and its variations yields by the natural period of the structure. This highlights the importance of investigating the seismic behavior of soil nailed walls for their natural periods. <#LINE#> @ @ Manual for Design and Construction Monitoring of Soil Nail Walls, Federal Highway Administration, Publication No. FHWA-SA-96-069R, (1998) @No $ @ @ Soil Nail Walls, Federal Highway Administration, Publication No. FHWAOIF-03-017, (2003) @No $ @ @ Vucetic M., Tufenkjian M.R. and Doroudian M., Dynamic Centrifuge Testing of Soil-Nailed Excavations, Geotechnical Testing Journal, 16(2),172-187, (1993) @No $ @ @ Tufenkjian M.R. and Vucetic M., Seismic Stability of Soil-Nailed Excavations, Report No. ENG-97- 169, Civil Engineering Department, University of California, Los Angeles, (1993) @No $ @ @ Tufenkjian M.R. and Vucetic M., Dynamic failure Mechanism of Soil- Nailed Excavation Models in Centrifuge, Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, ASCE, 126 (3), 227-235, (2000) @No $ @ @ Sabhahit N., Basudhar P.K. and Madhav M.R., A Generalized Procedure for the Optimum Design of Nailed Soil Slopes, International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, 437-452, (1996) @No $ @ @ Vela J.C., Theoretical Modeling and Field Instrumentation of an Earth Retention System for Seismic Response, Ph.D. Thesis, Washington State University, (2000) @No $ @ @ Choukeir M., Juran I. and Hanna S., Seismic Design of Reinforced- Earth and Soil-Nailed Structures, Ground Improvement, 1, 223-238, (1997) @No $ @ @ Juran I., Baudrand G., Farrang K. and Elias V., Kinematical Limit Analysis for Design of Soil-Nailed Structures, Journal of Geotechnical Engineering, ASCE, 116(1), 54-72, (1990) @No $ @ @ Cholceir M., Seismic Analysis of Reinforced Earth and Soil Nailed Structures, Ph.D. Thesis, New York Polytechnic University, (1996) @No $ @ @ Hong Y., Chen R., Wu C., Chen J., Shaking Table Test and Stability Analysis of Steep Nailed Slopes, Canadian Geotechnical Journal, 42, 1264- 1279, 2005)12.Soil Nail Walls, Federal Highway Administration, Publication No. FHWAOIF-03-017, (2003) @No $ @ @ Bathurst R.J., Hatami K., Earthquake Response Analysis of Reinforced-soil Walls Using Flac, Flac and Numerical Modeling in Geomechanics, 273-297 (1999) @No $ @ @ Bathurst R.J., Hatami K., Investigation of Seismic Response Soil Retaining Walls, 4th International Conference on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics, California, 7-18 (2001) @No $ @ @ Bathurst R.J. and Hatami K., Seismic Response of Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil Retaining Wall, Geosynthetics International, 5(1-2), 127-166 (1998) @No $ @ @ Manual for Design and Construction Monitoring of Soil Nail Walls, Federal Highway Administration, Publication No. FHWA-SA-96-069R, (1998) @No <#LINE#>The Comparison of Executive functions and the Theory of Mind among the Hearing and Deaf Children<#LINE#>Homa@Khorasani,Saberi@Hayedeh,Nasrin@Bagheri<#LINE#>17-22<#LINE#>3.

A self-develop questionnaire that comprised of personal and institutional factors was used for data collection. Data were collected from 350 respondents including two public and one private university in Pakistan. Convenience sampling technique was used for data collection. Data were analyzed through SPSS 19.0. In order to check hypothesis, regression analysis was applied which explains that how personal and institutional factors significantly influences students’ satisfaction and students’ satisfaction influences students’ retention. Results reveal that students’ involvement and excellence of campus climate are more significant predictors of students’ satisfaction as well as students’ satisfaction predicts students’ retention. This study has just focused on personal and institutional factors that affecting students’ satisfaction in business schools. Other dimensions of students’ satisfaction can be explored and extension of existing model can be done with the integration of marketing concept that is generating positive word of mouth as well as comparison among different schools can be investigated. Results from this study provide direction to institutions about strategic planning that how they can maximize the level of students’ satisfaction by incorporating institutional and personal factors. <#LINE#> @ @ Guolla M., Assessing the Teaching Quality to Student Satisfaction Relationship: Applied Customer Satisfaction Research in the Classroom, J.

ISCA-RJRS-2013-905.pdf<#LINE#>Department of Geomatics, Faculty of Engineering, University of Tehran, Tehran, IRAN <#LINE#>21/11/2015<#LINE#>8/3/2014<#LINE#> Douglas-Peucker is the most widely used approach for line simplification. Stopping threshold in the standard method is defined in terms of a spatial distance specified by the user. However, the user, in many cases, is not able to set the threshold as s/he really wishes. Thus, the process is either performed again or is accepted while the ideal result is not provided yet. The aforementioned problems are probable, since the relationship between the spatial threshold, the number of saved vertices and the final formation of the line is unknown. To contribute in solving this problem, the terms "data" and "information" are defined in a line simplification context and line vertices are prioritized according to their relative influence on the whole line information. The result of data-information analysis is a diagram in which data and information are the two axes. The diagram reveals how the amount of information is changing as line vertices are decreasing gradually. It is shown that at a certain point in the diagram, the slope of information reduction increases tremendously like a waterfall. It reveals that at this point, for every omitted vertex, a large amount of information is lost and it's not worth discarding any other vertices. The user can either choose the point where s/he prefers not to lose any more information or the optimal point can be automatically recognized by the application. The results as shown in the paper diagrammatically prove that using such a method can heavily simplify map simplification process. <#LINE#> @ @ Golledge R.G., Rice M.T. and Jacobson R., Multimodal Interfaces for Representing and Accessing Geospatial Information, in Frontiers of Geographic Information Technology, S.

The results of measurements show the impact of inclination towards on the heat transfer rate and mass loss. Heat transfer spread rate, mass loss in three different flooring materials were monitored and compared. The results show exponential dependence of heat transfer rate and mass loss on inclined samples. Inclining increases the flame speed significantly in all the flooring materials. It should be considered when the decline or inclined planes are designed into public buildings with the risk of fire. <#LINE#> @ @ Müllerová J. and Mikulík M., Environmental and health risks of solid fuel boilers’emissions, Košice: Multiprint, (2010) @No $ @ @ Müllerová J., Hloch S. and Valíek J., Decreasing of emissions released by biomass combustion in hot water boiler.

The biopolymer blend electrolyte (BBE) films have been measured using Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy. The incorporation of 20 wt.% NHBr gives the optimum room temperature dc conductivity, dc of 2.12 x 10-5 Scm-1. Dielectric study shows dependence of BBE films on temperature, but independent to frequency. Based on the power law exponent result, CMC/CS-NHBr system can be represented by quantum mechanical tunnelling (QMT) model.<#LINE#> @ @ Rasool F.K. and Samaneh P., Photovoltaic device modeling and effect of its parameters, Res.

This study is limited to 8 manufacturing organizations, and it indicates that the human asset has not impact on the stock price of selected manufacturing organization. This research also indicates that the human value is positively and negatively affected by the financial performance of the companies; therefore there is a statistically significant relationship between human capital efficiency and firms’ financial performance.From a careful examination of correlation results on firm financial performance and HRV the conclusion derives is that the return on asset as a profitability ratio does not have effect on Human value and current ratio and acid ratio as liquidity ratios have negative relationship with Human value and two financial variables which have positive relationship with human resource value are sales revenue and net income.<#LINE#> @ @ Swart, J.

In this connection, the Enterprise Resource Planning is among instruments that are highly effective in this respect. But, implementation of the system involves a complex process that is often met with failure. Iranian organizations are not exempt from this rule and a limited number of them have been successful in implementing ERP. In this study, which is an applied research with descriptive survey method, first the explorations conducted in the field of factors affecting success of ERP system were examined. As a result, change management was identified as a vital factor in success of the implementation of ERP system. Then, change management strategies from the viewpoint of Kuzic and Thi van Hau including effective communication, top management support, effective training, project teams, presence of project champion, clear and systematic planning, broad participation of employees, incentives and feedback were used. Thus, effects of change management strategies in success of EPR system implementation were examined through using a questionnaire, which was distributed among experts of the Ministry of Cooperatives, Labor and Social Welfare, who were experienced in the field of implementation of an enterprise resource planning system. Statistical population of the research was 46 people and because of having access to all of them, the complete enumeration method was used in determining the sample. The validity of the questionnaire was determined through face validity by using viewpoints of experts and its reliability through Cronbach's alpha was 0.958, which is indicative of the strong reliability of the questionnaire. To examine the hypothesis of the research, binomial test was used, the result of which was indicative of the effective role of all change management strategies in successful ERP implementation except for the presence of project champion. <#LINE#> @ @ Ghazanfari M., Jaafari M., Taqavi-fard M.T. and Rouhani S., Requirements for the Assessment of Business Intelligence in ERP: (Case Study, Trade Promotion Organization of Iran), Journal of Eqtesad va Tejarat Novin, 13, 22-45 (2008) @No $ @ @ Nah F.F., Lau J.L. and Kuang J., Critical factors for successful implementation of enterprise systems.

Cerium(IV) arsenomolybdate, a heteropoly acid based cation exchanger were synthesized and characterized using FTIR, XRD, TGA, SEM-EDS techniques. Its composition was found to be Ce: As: Mo; 1.8:1:1.4 and it is quite chemically stable. CeAsMo shows enhanced catalytic activities towards degradation of CV. The oxidizing power of heteropoly acid units and electron exchange character of Ce are credited to the degradation efficiency of the exchanger. The effects of catalyst dosage, pH of the medium, concentration of dye solution, shaking time as well as temperature were ascertained, and the favorable conditions for maximum degradation were determined.CV was degraded more than 95% in the presence of new exchanger within 2 hours. The reproducibility of exchanger’s behavior as catalyst showed at least a three-cycle of degradation process. The degradation of CV in binary dye-metal mixtures has also been considered since dye effluents usually contain many metal ions. Whole studies disclose that the CeAsMo showed higher efficiency towards the removal of Crystal violet dye and can apply them to the target applications of environmental remediation and catalysis. <#LINE#> @ @ Mestre S., Sales S., Palacios M.D., Lorente M.M., Mallol G. and Pe´rez-Herranz V., Low cost inorganiccation exchange membrane for electrodialysis : Optimum processing temperature for the cation exchanger, Desalination and Water Treatment,51, 3317–3324 (2013) @No $ @ @ Bregman J.I. and Braman R.S., Inorganic ion exchange membranes, J.

Since the failure mode of the monolith in concrete gravity dams is in tension, one of the main constraints is the tension stress limit under seismic loads. There is a new approach to check if the dam performance is safe andit is a more realistic method to observe the behavior of dams under earthquake load. According to this approach, the cumulative duration of the dam which passes the specific tension value during earthquake, should be below the allowable duration. This allowable duration is a function of the specific tension value.In this research, an innovative objective function was used to optimize the shape of concrete gravity dams by applying the new approach. This new objective function sets as one of the objective functions in multi objective method.A comparison between using this approach with multi objective and constrained optimization method in the rate of convergence reveals the advantage of employing the new objective function to find the optimal shape of concrete gravity dams under seismic loads.<#LINE#> @ @ USACE, Gravity Dam Design, Engineer Manual EM 1110-2-2200, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Washington, D.C., U.S.(1995) @No $ @ @ Liu L. and Lin G., Optimum Design for Cross-Sections of Concrete Gravity Dams Against Earthquake, Tumu., Gongcheng Xuebao/ China Civil Engineering Journal,17(1), 49-58, (1984) @No $ @ @ Simoes L.M.C. and Lapa J.A.M, Optimal Shape of Dams Subject to earthquakes, 2nd International Conference on Computational Structures Technology,1994) 4.LI S.H., JING L. and ZHOU Q.J., The Shape Optimization of Concrete Gravity Dam Based on GA-APDL, International Conference on Measuring Technology and Mechatronics Automation, (2010) @No $ @ @ Hu L., Chen F. and Li Y., Research of Optimal Design for Gravity Dam Based on Niche Genetic Algorithm”, Advanced Research on Computer Education, Simulation and Modeling,176, 323-328 (2011) @No $ @ @ Miaowu X., Qie Z.H., Zhang Z.Y. and Li S.H., Reliability Design Optimization Gravity Dam Section Based on PSO., Eighth International Conference on Machine Learning and Cybernetics, Baoding, 12-15 (2009) @No $ @ @ Ghanaat Y., Seismic Performance and Damage Criteria for Concrete Dams, Proceeding on the 3rd US-Japan Workshop on Advanced Research on Earthquake Engineering for Dams., San Diego California, 22-23 (2002) @No $ @ @ Raphael JM, The Tensile Strength of Concrete, ACI J Proc 81, 158–165 (1984) @No $ @ @ USACE, Time History Dynamic Analysis of Concrete Hydraulic Structures, Engineering and Design, Engineer Manual, EM, 1110-2-6051 (2003) @No $ @ @ Bayraktar A., Turker T., Akkose M. and Ate, The Effect of Reservoir Length on Seismic Performance Of Gravity Dams to Near-and Far-Fault Ground Motions”, Natural Hazards,52(2), 257-275 (2010) @No $ @ @ Liu G.P., Yang J.B. and Whidborne J.F, Multi objective Optimization and Control, Prentice Hall of India, New Delhi (2008) @No $ @ @ Kirsch U., Optimum structural design, Mcgraw-hill, New York (2001) @No $ @ @ Rao S.S., Engineering Optimization: Theory and Practice, Third edition, New age international (p) limited, publishers,(1996) @No $ @ @ Haftka R.T. and Gurdal Z., Elements of Structural Optimization, kluwer academic publishers, Dordrecht, The Netherlands (1993) @No $ @ @ Cauchy A., Methode Generale Pour La Resolution Des Systems Dequations Simultanees, Comp.

These texts are either in hard copies or in handwritten form. Hand-written numerals, written in various languages and scripts, are an integral part of these texts. Several efforts have been made to recognize numerals and a variety of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) systems have been successfully implemented and marketed. Urdu numerals, as opposed to English numerals, are different due to their style and format of writing. Various methods have been proposed but majority of them only address computer typed numerals in different forms and sizes. Therefore we need to develop new and enhance existing handwritten Urdu numerals recognition systems due to their wide scale use and application in many fields. This research addresses the problem of handwritten offline numerals. A novel approach of Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) for Urdu handwritten character recognition has been proposed in this research. <#LINE#> @ @ Sagheer M.W., He C.L., Nobile N. and Suen C.Y.,Holistic urdu handwritten word recognition using support vector machine, Int.

Based on the localization, many applications are emerging in the sensor network. Localization schemes are broadly divided into Range based and Range free. As localization is becoming popular, many attacks on the localization process are also on a rise. These attacks confuse the localization process and cause location estimation errors. The Range Based and Range free localization methods are available for obtaining the location of the sensor nodes. One of main challenge in localization is that the process can be made erroneous by launching various attacks. In this paper, we analyze the attacks on the Range Based methods and survey the current work on attack detection and resolution. <#LINE#> @ @ Morteza J, Hossein M, Kasra M and Mohammad F., A Method in Security of Wireless Sensor Network based on Optimized Artificial immune system in Multi-Agent Environments, Res.

This ‘common ancestor’ not only evolved into the most advanced ape: - ‘Homo sapiens’ but also evolved into the ‘advanced apes’ (Chimpanzee, Gorilla, and Orangutan). The evolutionary paradigm of human evolution is often explained by ‘evolutionary biologist’ as an outcome of Darwinian concept of Natural Selection. According to Darwin’s concept the fittest organism survives which is popularly known as “Survival of the Fittest”. So if human evolution is a function of Natural Selection then the complexity needs critical determination that how come all the species that evolved from the common ancestors at the same time still survives? Hence as Darwin’s concept of natural selection doesn’t support the phenomenal condition we do say “Charles Darwin Needs Revision”, we can predict that all the primates that have developed from the common ancestor are fit for survival in the present condition. Hence the complexion uncertainty that needs attention is to solve the mystery which leads to the evolution and survival of all the different form of the primates and categorically selecting them as members of varying advanced groups. The anomaly can be explained by the logic of mutation and application of the theory of Gregorian (Mendellian)-Morganian genetics. To solve the complexity a theoretical-genetics approach has been discussed in this paper is justified, proposing Sinha-Tripathy modification of Darwin’s theory of Natural Selection. <#LINE#> @ @ Lewin R., Human Evolution : An Illustrated Introduction.

While, a few research can be found that the scope of their activities are related to tourism destinations brand. Strong brand of a regional tourism creates an identity for it. Greater value will achieve due to destination name, if formed identity in mind of tourists associate with more positive. Therefore, in this research, the relationship between the indicators of brand equity (including: brand awareness, brand Image, perceived quality, and brand loyalty) in point view of Konecnik and Gartner, attraction of tourist and tourism loyalty was measured. The questionnaires were distributed among 384 tourists in the province of Guilan. Path analysis and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) method were used to test data and model of research. The results showed that attraction of tourist and brand Image have the greatest effect on tourism loyalty. <#LINE#> @ @ Nori Ali., The effects of organizational citizenship behavior on the quality of service quality, MA thesis, University of Mashhad, (2008) @No $ @ @ Cohen A and Kol Y., Professionalism and organizational citizenship behavior an empirical examination among Israeli nurses, Journal of managerial psychology, 19 (4),41-58 (2004) @No $ @ @ Vigoda E., Internal politics in public administration system: an empirical examination of its relationship with Job congruence, organizational citizenship behavior and role performance, Journal of public personal management, 29(2), 185-203 (2000) @No $ @ @ Bienstock C., Carol W. and Smith K., Organizational citizenship behavior and service quality, Journal of services marketing, 17 (4), 357-378 (2003) @No $ @ @ Eslami H. and Sayar A., Organizational citizenship behavior, journal ofogh, 37, 69-87(2008) @No $ @ @ Yadegari H., The relationship between forgiveness and life satisfaction among nurses.MA student of Counseling, University of Isfahan, (2006) @No $ @ @ Organ D.W. and Ryan K., A meta-analytic review of attitudinal and dispositional predictors of organizational citizenship behavior, Personnel Psychology, 48,775-802 (1995) @No $ @ @ Organ D.W., Organizational citizenship behavior the good soldier syndrome, Lexington book, Lexington, MA, 221-222 (1988) @No $ @ @ Podsakoff P.M., Mackenzie S.B., Paine J.B. and Bachrach D.G., Organizational citizenship behaviors: A critical review of the theoretical and empirical literature and suggestions for future research, Journal of Management, 26(3), 513-563 (2002) @No $ @ @ Castro C.B., Armario E and Ruiz D., The influence of employee organizational citizenship behavior on customer loyalty, International journal of Service industry management, 15 (1), 276-282 (2004) @No $ @ @ Diener E.D., Scollon C. and Lucas R.E., The evolving concept of subjective well–being: The multifaceted nature of happiness, Advances in Cell Aging and Gerontology, 5, 187-219 (2003) @No $ @ @ 2.Carlen A., Positive Psychology.
