The statistical samples in criteria-selecting stage were 92 people who were selected spontaneously, and also there were 8 people of the senior managers from each part in the ranking stage. In the first step it was specified by Cronbach and in the second step by the inconsistency coefficient of reliability of the questionnaires. In the next step the criteria was specified by biniminal test calculations, and finally we paid to classify them by FAHP which according to the obtained results, the quality criterion with 0.135 weights has the most important. The green production criterion with 0.131 weights is in the second priority. The geographical location criterion with minimum weight (0.075) is in the last priority. For testing this model, five suppliers were ranked; so we have: the first ranking is for the fourth supplier with 0.332 weights. The fifth ranking is for the sixth supplier with 0.133 weights. <#LINE#> @ @ Ghodsypour S.H. and Obrien C., The total cost of logestics in supplier selection , under conditions of multiple sourcing ,multiple criteria and capacity constraints, International journal of production economics, 15-27 (2001) @No $ @ @ Jaefarnejad A., Ajdari B. and Saleh M.R., Using data envelopment analysis and cross-efficient method for evaluating suppliers, engineering companies thoughtFarafan, Second National Conference on Performance Management (2007) @No $ @ @ Azadeh A., Ghaderi S.F., Javaheri Z. and Saberi M., A fuzzy mathematical programming approach to DEA models, Am.

Investment opportunities have different life cycles during different steps. A highly flexible firm to take advantage of these opportunities expects a clear vision of the future. An effective strategy to provide investment opportunities is to use appropriate dividend policies. The present study establishes a relationship between ROE and investment opportunities. Participants include firms listed in TSE during 1385-1389. Regression analysis is used to test hypotheses. Results suggest a high correlation between variables. Ratios between book value of fixed assets to their market value, market value of common stock to its book value and earnings per share to price per share positively and significantly influence on ROE of the firms listed in TSE. Statistical tests are used to analyze data by Eviews software. <#LINE#> @ @ Islami Bigdeli G. and Bidgolo M., The Contrast between Return and Risk of Alternative Investment Opportunities in Iran, Accounting and Auditing Investigations, 1(44), 149-175 (2006) @No $ @ @ Abzari M., Performance of Firms Listed in Essential Metals Group of TSE Using EVA Model and Its Relationship with Measures of Profit Accounting, Financial Studies, 1(26), 3-20 (2008) @No $ @ @ Jahankhani A. and Zarif Fard A., Do Managers and Shareholders Use a Proper Standard to Measure Value?

Formulation of the food products of low cost and highly nutritiuon is only the solution to overcome the problem hence the visionary design of the soyaladoo is done. Organoleptically high scored soyaladoo was taken for supplementation. The nutritional qualities likes major nutrients such as energy(470.0kcal), proteins (20.1 g) and fats (22.0 g) content found more in soyaladoo. The micro nutrients such as iron (6.3 mg), zinc (3.8 mg) and calcium (286.5 mg) were also observed higher range in soyaladoo. It also noted, very less antinutrtional factors like phytate phosphorous (160mg), tannin (0.34 mg), tryspin inhibitor activity (5.5ml), acid detergent fiber (1.31g), cellulose (1.00g) and lignin (0.3ml) etc. Soyaladoo has also shown very low production cost. Hence, it found very cheap and affordable to the below poverty line group ofmalnourishedchildren. Significant improvements in nutrients intake were seen after supplementation of soyaladoo for six months to preschool malnourishedchildren. The supplementation was given at the @ 50gm/child/day. <#LINE#> @ @ Deshpande S.S., Mishra A. and Mistra, M.. Preparation and organoleptic evaluation of soybased food products, The J. food sci.

A wide range of commercial and law enforcement applications largely accounts for this developing trend. Although current face ecognition systems have reached a certain maturity level they are still far away from the capability of human perceptual system. In a 2D image the unique facial appearance normally consists of intensity curvatures which may be incorporated for ecognizing human face. This work inestigates the use of weighted distance transform to bring improvements in face ecognition. The weighted distance transform takes into account both the spatial distance among pixels and the local intensity variations. A standard face dataset is used to alidate the proposed method. The obtained results are comparable to the state-of-the-art face ecognitiontechniques. <#LINE#> @ @ Phillips P.

Some management sages advocated new “generative transformational” forms of learning to deal with an external reality in which everything is constantly evolving or “becoming”. These assumptions rise to the notion of learning organization. However, examining the relationship between learning organization dimensions and other organizational elements makes it possible to draw on suitable strategies in order to improve learning. In this study the relationship between learning organization dimensions in point view of Watkins and Marsick including continuous learning, dialogue and inquiry, team learning, embedded system, system connection, ,empowerment, Strategic leadership and transformational leadership have been investigated. This study is a descriptive correlational research. Considering goal, it is an applied research. Statistical Population of the study includes Iranian National Petrochemical companies that are 45. Due to the accessibility of the whole statistical population, in this research census samplingmethod has been used. Research findings showed a significant relationship between transformational Leadership and three dimensions (among 7 dimensions) of learning organization which consist of "continuous learning", "team learning", and "embedded system". In considering the triple levels of learning organization, the findings illustrated a significant relationship between transformational Leadership and two levels (group and organizational).<#LINE#> @ @ Abdullah I., Rashid Y., and Umair T., Effect of Organizational Learning and Knowledge Management Practices on Organizational Performance, Journal of Basic and Applied Scientific Research, 3(5), 34-39 (2013) @No $ @ @ Coulson-Thomas C.J., Developing tomorrow’s professionals today, Journal of European Industrial Training, 15(1), 3-11 (1991) @No $ @ @ Florence T.T. and Phua D., Senior executives’ perception of environmental uncertainty and the strategic functions of construction, International Journal of Project Managementxxx xxx–xxx, 1- 9, (2007) @No $ @ @ Rowden R.W., The learning organization and change, SAM Advanced Management Journal, 66(3), 11-20 (2001) @No $ @ @ Yang Jen-Te, Knowledge Sharing: Investigating Appropriate Leadership Roles and Collaborative Culture, Tourism Management, 28(2), 530–543 (2007) @No $ @ @ Kiedrowski P.J., Quantitative Assessment of a Senge Learning Organization Intervention, the Learning Organization. 13(4), 369-383 (2006) @No $ @ @ Marquardt M.J., Building The Learning Organization, 2nd ed., Daviese-Black, Palo Alto, CA - McClelland, D.C.

The use of good fluxing agents such as feldspar to bring about the vitrification of the porcelain tiles body has initiated intensive research work to source for suitable feldspar deposits required for manufacturing this product. In this research work, feldspar samples from Ijero-Ekiti in Ekiti state, Ajaokuta in Kogi state and Okpella in Edo state, from Nigeria were used together with other raw materials to formulate vitrified porcelain tiles compositions similar to what is obtainable in industries. The porcelain tiles samples were produced under suitable industrial conditions and sintered at 1218C. Flexural strength test, fired shrinkage test, water absorption test and abrasion resistance test were used to characterize the samples. The results show that flexural strength, abrasion resistance and water absorption of all the samples are within the acceptable values specified by international standard organization (ISO). Chemical analysis was also carried out on the feldspar samples from the three deposits and the results show that the deposits contained all the constituents suitable for producing porcelain tiles. All the three feldspar deposits were found to be suitable for producing vitrified porcelain tiles. <#LINE#> @ @ Luz A.P. and Ribeiro S., Use of glass waste as a raw material in porcelain stoneware tile mixtures, Ceramics International, 33, 761-765 (2007) @No $ @ @ Abadir M.F., Sallam E.H., and Bakr I.M., Preparation of porcelain tiles from Egyptian raw materials, Ceramics International,28 (3), 303–310 (2002) @No $ @ @ Peter W.O., Stefan J. and Joseph K.B., Characterization of Feldspar and Quartz Raw Materials in Uganda for Manufacture of Electrical Porcelains, Journal of Australia Ceramic Society, 41(1), 29-35 (2006) @No $ @ @ Gennaro R., Cappelletti P., Cerri G., Gennaro M., Dondi M., Guarini G., Langella A. and Naimo D., Influence of zeolites on the sintering and technological properties of porcelain stoneware tiles, Journal of the European Ceramic Society,23(13), 2237-2245 (2003) @No $ @ @ Nezahat E. and Arife Y., Development of body formulations using colemanite waste in porcelain tile production, Journal of Ceramic Processing Research, 10(6), 758-769 (2009) @No $ @ @ Kamseu E., Leonelli C., Boccaccini D.N., Veronesi P., Miselli P., Giancarlo P. and Chinje M.U., Characterisation of porcelain compositions using two china clays from Cameroon, Ceramics International, 33, 851-857 (2007) @No $ @ @ Iqbal Y. and Lee W.E., Microstructural evaluation in triaxial porcelain, Journal of the American Ceramic Society, 83(12), 3121-27 (2000) @No $ @ @ Lee W.E. and Rainforth W.M., Ceramic microstructures, Chapman and Hall: United Kingdom (1995) @No $ @ @ Chatterjee A., Chitwadgi S., Kulkarni M. and Kaviraj A.K., Effect of sodium and potassium feldspar ratio on the phase development and microstructure of fired porcelain tiles, Indian Ceram., 44 (1), 11–14 (2001) @No $ @ @ Esposito L., Salem A., Tucci A., Gualtieri A. and Jazayeri S.H., The use of nepheline-syenite in a body mix for porcelain stoneware tiles, Ceramic International, 31(2),233–240 (2005) @No $ @ @ Norton F.H., Fine Ceramics, Technology and Applications, McGraw-Hill: New York (1970) @No $ @ @ Garkida A.D., Ijero Feldspar: A source of good potassium Alumino-silicate for the Glass and Ceramics industries, Ashakwu Journal of Ceramics, 1(1) 72-74 (2003) @No $ @ @ Martín-Márquez J., Rincón M.J. and Romero M., Effect of firing temperature on sintering of porcelain stoneware tiles, Ceramics Internacional, 34, 1867-1873 (2008) @No $ @ @ Leonelli C., Bondioli F., Veronesi P., Romagnoli M., Manfredini T., Pellacani G.C. and Cannillo V., Enhancing the mechanical properties of porcelain stoneware tiles: a microstructural approach, Journal of European Ceramics Society, 21(6), 785–793 (2001) @No $ @ @ Dondi M., Ercolani G., Melandri C., Mingazzini C. and Marsigli M., The chemical composition of porcelain stoneware tiles and its influence on microstructural and mechanical properties, Interceram,28(2), 75–82 (1999) @No <#LINE#>Screening of Raw Buffalos Milk from Karnataka for Potential Probiotic Strains<#LINE#>Nannu@Shafakatullah,M.@Chandra<#LINE#>73-78<#LINE#>12.ISCA-RJRS-2014-1217.pdf<#LINE#>insNannu Shafakatullah* and M.

Purification of cultures were confirmed by Gram’s staining and catalase test and identified based on morphological, cultural, physiological and different biochemical characteristics as presented in Bergey’s Manual of Systematic Bacteriology. During lactic acid bacterial (LAB) transit through the gastrointestinal tract, ingested microorganisms were exposed to successive stress factors, including low pH in the human stomach and bile salt. These isolates were examined for survival in bile salt, acidic pH, different NaCl concentrations, anti pathogenic activity, as well as survival at different storage temperatures. These stress factors can be used as criteria for the evaluation of probiotic strains. Isolated strains of Lactobacilli spp. and Bifidobacterium spp. showed satisfactory probiotic potentials. <#LINE#> @ @ Kalenhammer T.R., Probiotic bacteria: today and tomorrow, J Nut, 130 (2S suppl): 415S-16S (2000) @No $ @ @ Reuter G., Probiotics-Possibilities and limitations of their application in food, animal feed, and in pharmaceutical preparations for men and animals, Berl Munch Tierarztl Wochenschr, 114(11-12) , 410-9 (2001) @No $ @ @ Hose H. and Sozzi T., Biotechnology group meeting: probiotics - fact or fiction?, J.

For solving load frequency control problem a new method is proposed considering the state feedback controller based on Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA). In this solution, an objective cost function is used to design the gains of the state feedback matrix. The frequency deviation and power flow variations between the two area is decreased by the proposed cost function. For minimizing the proposed cost function the ICA algorithm is considered. The proposed method evaluation is done by applying the design controller to a two area power system with considerations regarding governor saturation and the results are compared to the one obtained by a classic PI controller. Simulation results show better operation and improved system parameters such as settling time and step response rise time using the proposed approach. <#LINE#> @ @ Shayeghi N., A robust decentralized power system load frequency control, Journal of Electrical Engineering, 59, 281-293 (2008) @No $ @ @ Calovic W.G., Linear regulator design for a load and frequency control theory, IEEE Trans.

Local councils are elected by public vote to 4-year terms in all cities and villages of Iran. According to principle 7 in Iran's Constitution law, these local councils together with the Parliament are "decision-making and administrative organs of the State". This section of the constitution was not implemented until 1999 when the first local council elections were held across the country. Councils have many different responsibilities including electing mayors, supervising the activities of municipalities; studying the social, cultural, educational, health, economic, and welfare requirements of their constituencies; planning and coordinating national participation in the implementation of social, economic, constructive, cultural, and educational and other welfare affair.

Natural disasters and terrorism are the major issues of Pakistan. Different types of natural disasters like earthquake, flood, drought, landslides and snow slides and galaciers melting are frequent disatter events in the region. 2005 Kashmir earthquake and 2010 flood was the mega destructive events with thousands of live losses and millions of dollors property damages. In suffecient coping capacity, pathatic communication and colloboration between different concerned departments, lack of community awareness, resources gathering and insufficient budgeting, lack of technology awareness, adoption, integration are the most common barrieres in disaster management domain. Information and communication Technology(ICT) is the most adopting and growing technology now a days. ICT is playing most important role in enhancing human life activities as well as increasing efficiency and accuracy along with transparency and out of space and time limitations. ICT is also contributing its lions’ share in the domain of disaster management. Various ICT based applications and services are available for disaster management. Floods are one of the most destructive disaster events in pakistan their frequency and intensity is increasing in last decade. Unpredictable and heavy moonsoon rainfalls and melting galaciers are the most common reasons for floods in pakistan which resulting in massive live losses, large amount of internally displace persons (IDPs), damages of agricultural land and crops as well as live stocks. There is an ugrent need of flood disaster management system (FDMS) equipped with state of the art ICTs. Floods forecasting and predictions, early warning, flood monitoring, risk assessment and damage assessment are the open grounds for integrating ICTs. In this study we are trying to cover the role of ICTs in flood disaster management system all over the world. Identification of challenges and opportunities in in terms of technology integration and adoption in the domain of FDMS in Pakistan, and proposing a ICT based Flood early warning systesm (FEWS) which is second face of the coin. <#LINE#> @ @ Pathirage C., Seneviratne K., Amaratunga D. and Haigh R., Managing disaster knowledge: identification of knowledge factors and challenges, Int.

Using cluster sampling, 385 subjects were selected among 53,256 living in old district of Shiraz. The city was divided into 12 planning districts and questionnaires were distributed based on the ratio of population to the whole district under study. Findings were analyzed using SWOT method and regression so that effective strategic factors in rehabilitation and renovation of the deteriorated urban are identified. Findings indicated 8 internal strength points versus 10 internal weak points. Also 10 external opportunities versus 11 external threats were identified and analyzed in the district under study. Thus, overall 18 strength and opportunities points were identified as advantages and 21 weak and threat points were identified as limitations for rehabilitation and renovation of the district. In addition, other findings indicate social participation and trust have important effect on public participation in rehabilitation and renovation of the deteriorated urban areas. <#LINE#> @ @ Alizadeh F., Optimizing worn-out textures, case study: Tehran, Urban Planning, Master Thesis, Shahid Beheshti University (1998) @No $ @ @ Bahraminejad D., Understanding and evaluating quality of the urban environment in central texture of Shiraz, Master Thesis, Shiraz University (2003) @No $ @ @ Alavi Tabar A., Pattern of citizen participation in urban governance, The Municipalities Organization Publication, Tehran (2000) @No $ @ @ 4.Firoz Bakht, A comprehensive urban management based on public participation, Journal of Municipalities, 88(1), 21-32(2007) @No $ @ @ Yavar B., Participatory urbanism and participation of people in Iranian city; facts, objectives, and strategies, master's thesis, Urbanism, University of Science and Technology, Tehran, (2002) @No $ @ @ Jamal M.J., Planning and designing for worn-out and inefficient urban focusing on public participation, Journal of Municipalities, 3(81), 20-32 (2007) @No $ @ @ Saeedi M.R., An introduction to public participation and non-governmental organizations, Tehran: SAMT Publication (2003) @No $ @ @ Seyyed Bokaee S.J., Understating and analysis of public participation role in urban worn-out textures' renewal, case study: Beyn-ul-Haramein axis in Shiraz, Urbanism, Master Thesis,.
