<#LINE#>Effect of Integrated Marketing Communication Infrastructures on Brand Personality to Improve the Performance of the Brand in Iran's Chain Stores<#LINE#>Aghaei@Mohammad,Mina@Hayati,Asadollahi@Amin<#LINE#>1-6<#LINE#>1.ISCA-RJRS-2013-376.pdf<#LINE#>Department of Business Management, Branch, Tarbiat Moddares University, Tehran, IRAN @ Master of Executive Management from Alborz University, IRAN @ Department of Business Management, Science and Research Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, IRAN <#LINE#>23/6/2013<#LINE#>30/12/2013<#LINE#>  Since we are living in a global market nowadays, the role of marketing communications on the performance of companies is very evident. Companies are no longer trying to just sale their products, since they have found out that optimum communication with the customers, and making them confident can lead to attracting and maintaining them. On the other hand, while selection, each of the consumers, chooses the brand which has similarities with his/her personal characteristics. Brand personality aspects may have specific functions in different ways or affect the preferences of consumers due to different reasons. In this research, it is tried to investigate the effect of integrated marketing communication (IMC) variable including market-orientation, customer-orientation, and brand-orientation infrastructures on the mediator variable of brand personality in order to improve the brand performance in ETKA Chain Stores. The brand personality is based on the Jennifer Aaker’s model and contains 5 properties of sincerity, competency, excitement, sophistication, and ruggedness. Employing SPSS 18, and LISREL 8.5 software, the data was analyzed. Results are presented in the sections of descriptive and illative findings. In descriptive statistics section, statistical indices of average, standard deviation, minimum and maximum values, and graph have been used. Also, in this section, exploratory factor analysis is performed. In illative statistics section, using LISREL software, model fitting parameters and indices are investigated. Moreover, in this section, confirmatory factor analysis and investigation of the correlation between variables are performed and finally, using multiple regressions, effect of the variables is studied. Results indicate that the three components of market-orientation, customer-orientation, and brand-orientation (IMC infrastructures) affect all five properties of brand personality and improvement of brand performance. Certainly, the foremost effect of these three components has been on brand excitement and competency. Also, four characteristics of sincerity, excitement, sophistication and ruggedness affect performance improvement and only brand competency has no effect on improvement of brand performance.  <#LINE#> @ @ Clarke Alan, Destination marketing: An integrated marketing communication approach, Elsevier, Oxford 140–147 (2008) @No $ @ @ J James.

What helps in achieving this aim is the availability of an efficient supply manager. But there are a lot of factors inside or outside the company that affect this system. Regarding these matters, this study aims at examining the impact of the strategic supply management skills and the supplier integration on the supply management performance in chain stores in Iran. Here, data related to 268 questionnaires received from the managers of different levels of these stores were analyzed by the structural equation modeling. The achieved results indicated that the strategic supply management skills are influential on the supply management performance positively and significantly. It was also revealed that the supplier integration has a positive effect on the supply management performance too. From another side, results showed that the strategic management skills influence the supply management performance of chain stores in Iran.<#LINE#> @ @ Johnson M.E. and Whang S., E-business and supply chain management: an overview and framework, Production and Operations Management,11(4), 413–23 (2002) @No $ @ @ Danese P., Supplier integration and company performance: A configurationally view, Omega ,41(6), 1029–1041 (2013) @No $ @ @ Camuffo A., Furlan A., Romano P. and Vinelli A., Routes towards supplier and production network internationalization, International Journal of Operations and Production Management, 27(4), 371–387 (2007) @No $ @ @ Zuckerman,A.

Growing population, urbanization, increasing living standard and other activities have brought severe changes in the quality of both water and sediment. River Ahiran is a small tributary of the River Hasdeo. River Hasdeo is the largest fresh water resources of Korba city, Chhattisgarh, India. The present study was taken on River Ahiran; it is an important water source of Katghora block and its surrounding villages. River Ahiran was greatly influenced by effluents of small scale industries and domestic wastes. The study revealed that the total solids, total dissolved solids, total suspended solids, ammonia, nitrite, phosphate and chemical oxygen demand of water of this area was found higher. Biological oxygen demand was found under the limit and dissolved Oxygen was found lower than the standard limit. The sediment of the sampling points of River Ahiran contains higher concentration of lead and cadmium than the permissible limit recommended by Indian Standards and World Health Organization. The study highlights the pollution load on River Ahiran due to mixing of industrial and domestic wastes. <#LINE#> @ @ http://24timezones.com/onlinemap/india_korba.php(2013) @No $ @ @ Manivasakam  N., Physico-chemical analysis of water sewage and industrial effluent, Pragati Prakasan  Meerat (2008-2009) @No $ @ @ Hess P.R., Soil Chemical Analysis, (2002) @No $ @ @ Standard Method of examination of water and wastewater(2005, 21st Edition, APHA) (2005) @No $ @ @ Abowei J.F.N., Salinity, Dissolved Oxygen, pH and surface Water Temperature conditions in Nkoro River, Niger Delta, Nigeria., Advance J. of Food Sci. and Tech.,2(1) , 36-40, (2010) @No $ @ @ Vaishnav M.M. and Sahu Dineswari., Study of some physico-chemical characteristics of Hasdeo River water at Korba, Res.

In this approach, the universities are more responsible for turning their research achievements into the factors of economic growth, prosperity and society wealth and should make more attempts to transfer and employ knowledge in economic, social and industrial areas so as to be interpreted as the commercialization of research results and accepted as one of the main missions and functions of universities besides the education and research. Lack of a comprehensive and integrated framework for the commercialization of research findings in universities was the salient issue identified in the literature. Presenting a conceptual model in response to the question “how to commercialize research results”, it is expected to solve a real problem of universities and it answers the theoretical gaps in this study field. This paper probes for a comprehensive conceptual framework with an exploratory study and comparative to identify the stages of commercialization process and most important factors which form the background to achieve commercialization and classification of factors on the basis of the characteristics of each component/ factor/ variable within a Tri-Category conceptual framework. With combination of variables and generation of the three dimensions of context, structure, content, and also the stages of commercialization process, the conceptual framework of this study was developed.

Due to the importance and necessity of urban land use planning and discussion of the problems of modern cities. It is necessary to apply new methods and tools that can assist planners in making decisions. Among these methods, methods based on support systems are planned. One of these methods is decision support system –based methods. Cellular automata model is one of the dynamic programming methods analyzing the urban land use structure and the related effects through stimulation of urban land use and prediction of its changes. In cellular automata with a survey of the land and allocating land to land demand forecast, the future of the region is anticipated through a variety of allocation scenarios. The results show that the best decision for the area of 1th Municipal District of Isfahan City is applying the functional areas of residential neighborhoods in areas suitable for residential development and welfare activities in moderately suitable areas for residential development and it is achieved by analysis of environmental suitability stage. Also, promoting the employment to keep the original population of historical fabric of the region is considered. <#LINE#> @ @ Asayesh Hossein, Moshiri, Seyed Rahim, Methodology and techniques of scientific research in humanistic and emphasis on Geography, Qomes publications, (2002) @No $ @ @ Benguigui L., Czamanski D. and Marinov M. and Portugali Y., When and where is a city fractal?

Survey method was used for this study and Questionnaire was selected as the most appropriate tool for data collection. In these respect customers of Iran banks was selected as the target population of the suggested theoretical model of this experiment and 417customers of the bank have participated as the statistical samples to achieve the goals of this paper. The collected data was analyzed through structural equation modeling (AMOS 18). Findings of the current Paper showed that the strategies of communication development, staff expertise development and investment in relationship are effecting the improvement of relationship quality between bank and the customer, but conflict management has no effect on the quality of this relationship. Also the results of the research showed that the quality of bank-customer relationship has positive effects on Customer loyalty, word-of-mouth and customer’s share. <#LINE#> @ @ Palmatier R.W., Relationship marketing, Cambridge, Massachusetts: Marketing Science Institute (2009) @No $ @ @ Aisyah Salim, Nasyiatul, The evaluation of relationship marketing of skin care service at PKU Muhammadiyah Yogyakatta Hospital, Gadjah Mada University (2011) @No $ @ @ Clemes, M., Mollenkopf, D. and Burn, D., An Investigation of Marketing Problems across Service Typologies, Journal of Services Marketing, 14(7), 573-594 (2010) @No $ @ @ Palmatier, R.

However, most of these investigations were cross-sectional studies. The present longitudinal study aimed to focus on the learners’ use of internal and external modifiers among Iranian study abroaders. A Discourse Completion Task (DCT) on request was administered to a group of 72 Iranian English language learners who enrolled in a study abroad program in language institutes in Mysore, India. This questionnaire was given to these participants at three phases over time as a pre-test (at the beginning), post-test 1 (after three months), and post-test 2 (after six months). A group of 60 native speakers also filled the questionnaire to provide the researcher with criteria for a comparison. The elicited data reveal that the number of employed internal and external modifiers increased in each phase compared with the previous one. The results in this study further indicated that a sustained sojourn in the L2 context provides a positive impact on the study abroad learners’ development in the use of internal and external modifiers. Furthermore, findings from this study show that longer length of stay helps the learners to modify their request utterances more skillfully with internal and external modifiers to make them appropriate according to the context. <#LINE#> @ @ Schauer G., Interlanguage Pragmatic Development: The Study Abroad Context: Continuum.

Conductivity, pH, turbidity and TDS properties were measured for various samples. A 0.2µm tangential flow hollow fiber microfiltration system was used for wastewater treatment and permeates were re-tested. Results obtained showed reduction of various wastewater properties. Turbidity was noticed to have higher reduction value from 10.2 NTU to 1 NTU for wastewater sample. It has been found that permeate flux increases by increasing the transmembrane pressure and crossflow velocity. The impact of fouling was also studied by looking at the reduction of permeate flux with time at various operating conditions. From the results it has been found that the use of microfiltration system has proven reliability in improving wastewater quality to be utilized for drinking purposes. <#LINE#> @ @ Milward H.R., Belhouse B.J. and Walker G., Screw thread flow promoters: an experimental study of ultrafiltration and microfiltration, J.Membr.Sc.,106, 269-279(1995) @No $ @ @ Cui Z.F. and Wright K.I.T., Flux enhancement with gas sparging in downwards crossflow  ultrafiltration: performance and mechanism, J.Membr.Sci.,117, 109-116 (1996) @No $ @ @ Thakur B.K. and De S., A novel method for spinning hollow fibre membrane and its   application for treatment of turbid water, Separation and Purification Technology, 93, 67-74 (2012) @No $ @ @ Raffin M., Germain E.

Due to random waves, it is complicated to exactly estimate hydrodynamic forces imposed on marine structures and it is impossible to easily predicate accurate situation of the structure in different moments. Meanwhile, the mathematical-experimental model of Morison used by researchers to estimate wave force on cylindrical elements of thin structures can be used for approximate estimation of wave forces to off-shore structures. Current study estimates hydrodynamic force effective on circular and square thin vertical sectioned cylindrical pillars with identical cross section using the software MATLAB and Morison’s formula; it parametrically plots cylinder length and estimates total effective force and its focus as well as related moments by equivalency of plotted diagram using mathematical equations and integrating within cylinder length. Then, effectiveness of critical load and side loading capacity of pillars are examined in geometric terms. Results obtained from current study will be used to optimize designs, decrease wave forces to structures, control displacements and increase security levels of marine structures. <#LINE#> @ @ Morison J., The Force Exerted by Surface Waves on Piles,189(1),147-154 (1950) @No $ @ @ Moghadam N., Forces of Waves, Marine Engineering Journal, 1(2), 10-18 (2004) @No $ @ @ Sadreldini A., Dynamic Analysis of Single Base Piles, Marine Engineering Journal, 2(1), 10-15 (2005) @No $ @ @ Afzali A., Probability Techniques for Analysis of Marine Metal Fixed Platforms within Persian Gulf under Wave Loading, Marine Engineering Journal, 4(6), 92-98 (2004) @No $ @ @ Naghipour B., Estimation of Wave Hydrodynamic Forces on MarineSlender Bodies Using SI Method, Marine Engineering Journal, 2(1), 128-134 (2005) @No $ @ @ Panahi V., Developing a Limited Volume Numerical Method to Evaluate Hydrodynamic Performance of Marine Structures, Marine Engineering Journal, 5(10), 23-28 (2009) @No $ @ @ Chegini V., Theories on Waves, 1st ed., Institute for Research Jihad, Tehran, Iran (1998) @No $ @ @ Murray Rudmanand Paul W.

The proposed method uses a chromosome-based cross over to produce the off springs with better fitness. The l_0minimizationconstraint is directly incorporated in population to achieve the desired sparsity level. The slow and premature convergence of GA is prevented with the help of modified parallel coordinate descent (PCD) algorithm. This hybrid mechanism of GA along with modified PCD makes the sparse signal recovery faster and accurate. The performance of the proposed algorithm is verified by comparing its results with those of PCD and separable surrogate functional (SSF) algorithms. The effectiveness of hybrid GA is further demonstrated experimentally by faithfully recovering a synthetic one-dimensional sparse signal. The simulation results show that an accurate sparse signal reconstruction is possible with hybrid GA using only a small number of observations. <#LINE#> @ @ Needell D., Tropp J. and Vershynin R.

These networks have their applications in various walks of life. Mobility of nodes in these networks is a major benefit for the end users.  However, modeling the mobility of the nodes in these networks is a key for the researcher.  In this paper, we first review and categorized the mobility models in MAENTs and VANETs. Then we analyze the performance of different types of existing mobility models of MANETs and VANETs through a case study. In the case study we analyze the performance of mobility models with varying mean speed of nodes. We have also varied the routing protocol to add another dimension in this analysis. The results of the analysis from the case study show the suitability of some key mobility models of MANETs and VANETs in various scenarios.  <#LINE#> @ @ Brooch J., Maltz D.A., Johnson D.  B., Hu Y.

The region is a small part of the Iran extent, but more than 14% of rainfall volume is allocated. Due to many faults and heavily rainfall in there, the landslide surveying is very important. In this study, geological maps of the area were digitized by ARC GIS software and FISHNET pattern, which the scale of them is 1/100000. Also, the alluvial outcrops were separated from the rocky outcrops. After that these outcrops were separated based on the stratigraphic column and were weighted according to the age.  Also, the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of the area was provided by the topographic map which its scale was 1/25000. After that zoning of slope was performed, too. The slope interval is between 20 to 40. Based on the geometric terms, the occurrence of landside is high in there. The fault map of area was extracted digitally from the geological map. According to meteorological data, rainfall precipitation statistics of the study area, precipitation zonation map was prepared. As for the slope, material, precipitation, fault data and weight composition, the induced landslide (based on the occurrence of earthquake) was zoned via FISHNET pattern.   <#LINE#> @ @ Bonabeau E., Dorigo M. and Theraulaz G., SwarmIntelligence: From Natural to Artificial Systems, Oxford University Press, New York, (1999) @No $ @ @ Mossop A. and Segall P., Subsidence at The Geysers geothermal field, N., California from a comparison of GPS and leveling surveys, Geophys, Res.

For the known gradient method, we have propped a way to reduce the computational complexity of gradient field. Besides, the proposed method attempts to find the optimal path starting from a suboptimal path with the lowest computations. The considered robot is a mobile robot with three freedom degrees in two-dimensional environment. This will cause the isolation of the angle of trajectory path. The result of the simulations of the methods shows that the new approach provides an appropriate method for mobile robot routing in comparison to other methods. <#LINE#> @ @ Jan K., Chang G.Y. and Parberry I., Optimal path planning for mobile robot navigation,  IEEE/ASME Trans.

Over years, many of sociologists and psychologists begun to study and research in design business, designers and architects’ issues of interest. In addition, some people in fields of interior design, architecture, landscape design and urban design, have done structured research using behavioral sciences and this group grows larger day by day. Both groups believe that behavioral sciences can develop some models and concepts that lead to clear understanding of human-environment relation. The goal is to increase the skills of designers in interior, building sets and better environment and landscape design. Some psychologists believe that built environment has a little effect on human life. Some designers believe that behavioral sciences are just playing with words and makes simple works complex. Another group worried about complexities that can be solved by eye witness, decays by using the decremented philosophies. But if a good understanding of behavioral sciences in design theory development takes place, these considerations fade away. In conventional view point, believed that moral values of visitor can be separable of his/her vision and one can study the universe unaligned. The goal of making a clear foundation of environment design focal point is to determine a set of defined patterns such as: i. Decision making process in environmental design procedure. ii. Built environment and its usage and reaction of people. iii. Physical nature of built environment and its results in daily human living spaces. <#LINE#> @ @ Theory Creation of Architecture, Lang, Tho T.
