@Research Paper <#LINE#>Strategic Management of Project Cost Control to Improve Green Project Management<#LINE#>Attariani@Peyman,Afshar@Babak,Mohammad@Aghania,Nabhani@Milad<#LINE#>1-9<#LINE#>1.ISCA-RJRS-2013-1097.pdf<#LINE#> Department of Management Limkokwing University, Limkokwing Cyberjaya, MALAYSIA <#LINE#>18/12/2013<#LINE#>25/5/2014<#LINE#> Green management is a model used to make the best decision regarding a project implementation so that the least environmental damages are resulted. All the management processes are affected by the green notion. It is needed to mention that the green management does not only mean to reduce the impact of activities on environment but means to consider the environment while making decisions. The present paper focuses on strategic management of project cost control to improve project management which has been conducted as a case study in Iran. To achieve the research objectives, the managers’ and project experts’ opinions have been collected via the field method. Therefore, in order to follow the research purposes, the managers’ and project experts’ opinions are used. Also, their opinions are studied in order to determine the research variables. In this research, the statistical population consists of contractors, engineers, and managers of the construction managers who use the green project management in their project. As the findings reveal, applying strategic management affects the index of principles of green project cost control. <#LINE#> @ @ Adizes Ichak, Managing Corporate Lifecycles, Paramus, NJ: Prentice Hall Press, (1999) @No $ @ @ Ajorlu Mansour, Project management, Payam-e-Nour university, (2011) @No $ @ @ Aliverdi R., Moslemi Naeni L. and Salehipour A., Monitoring project duration and cost in a construction project by applying statistical quality control charts, International journal of project management, 31, 3, 411-42 (2013) @No $ @ @ Anbari F., Earned value method and extensions, International journal of project management,34(4), 12-23 (2003) @No $ @ @ Ansari S., Swenson D., Bell J. and Kim W., Best Practice in Target Costing, Management Accounting Quarterly, winter, 4,2, 12-17 (2003) @No $ @ @ Azimisani A., strategic management accounting: implementation and control, World academy of science and technology, 59, 57-62 (2011) @No $ @ @ Ben-Arieh D., Qian L, Activity-based cost management for design anddevelopment stage, International Journal of Production Economics, (2003) @No $ @ @ Brown S.L. and Eisenhardt K.M., Competing on the Edge, Boston MA: Harvard Business School Press (1998) @No $ @ @ Buckingham M. and Loomba A.P.S., Advantageous Cost Structure: A Strategic Costing Case Study, Production and Inventory Management Journal, 1st Quarter, 42, 1, 12-18 (2001) @No $ @ @ Burke R., Project management planning and control techniques, 4th Ed.

The studied population of the research consists of all male and female managers governmental organizations of Iran who are 400 people and considering Cochran formula 197 of them were picked as the sample. The current research is performed using descriptive correlation method and the data was collected by questionnaires. A questionnaire with five components of self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relations management and motivation was used for surveying emotional intelligence and another with three components of affective commitment, continuous commitment and normative commitment was used for surveying commitment. Spearman and Pearson correlation coefficients, stepwise regression and linear log were used for analyzing and hypotheses examination. Research results show that managers of governmental organizations of Iran have proper emotional intelligence. Following probing the relationship between emotional intelligence with five components of self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relations management and motivation and managers' commitment, it is also concluded that there is a positive and meaningful relationship associating emotional intelligence and its components with organizational commitment; emotional intelligence's components can predict managers' organizational commitment. <#LINE#> @ @ Gormley Denise K. and Kennerly Susan, Influence of Work Role and Perceptions of Climate on Faculty Organizational Commitment, Journal of Professional Nursing, 26,(2), 108-115 (2010) @No $ @ @ Ng Thomas W.H. and Feldman Daniel C., Affective organizational commitment and citizenship behavior: Linear and non-linear moderating effects of organizational tenure, Journal of Vocational Behavior, 79(2), 528-537 (2011) @No $ @ @ Føllesdal Hallvard and Hagtvet Knut., Does emotional intelligence as ability predict transformational leadership?, A multilevel approach, The Leadership Quarterly, 24(5), 747-762 (2013) @No $ @ @ Prentice Catherine and King Brian E.M., Impacts of personality, emotional intelligence and addictiveness on service performance of casino hosts: A hierarchical approach, Journal of Business Research, 66(9), 1637-1643 (2013) @No $ @ @ Furnham A. and Petrides K.V., Triat emotional intelligence and happiness, Social Behavior and Personality, an international journal, 31(8), 815-823 (2003) @No $ @ @ Gallagher E.N. and Vella Brodick D.A., Social Support and emotional intelligence as predictors of subjective well-being, Personality and Individual Differences, 44(7), 1551-1561 (2008) @No $ @ @ Diggins C., Emotional Intelligence: The Key to Effective Performance and to Staying Ahead of the Pack at Times of Organizational Change, Human Resource Management International Digest, 12(1), 33-5 (2004) @No $ @ @ Sillick T.J. and Schutte N.S., Emotional Intelligence and Self-Esteem Mediate Between Perceived Early Parental Love and Adult Happiness, E Journal of Applied Psychology: Emotional Intelligence, 2(2), 38-48 (2006) @No $ @ @ Rahim M.R., A model of emotional intelligence and conflict management strategies: A study in seven countries, Journal of Organizational Analysis, 10(4),302-326 (2002) @No $ @ @ Modassir A. and Singh T., Relationship of Emotional Intelligence with Transformational Leadership and Organizational Citizenship Behavior, International Journal of Leadership Studies, 4(1), 3-21 (2008) @No $ @ @ George M., How intelligent are you…really?

So in this paper for the first time we focus on the increasing trendtowards buying more different types of cosmetics, and more specifically Mascara in Iran in the recent years. Furthermore we focus on integrated marketing communication concept, in order to provide assessment of Iranian consumer buying behavior along with the best configuration of promotional package for mascara product which in turn has influential impact on consumer satisfaction, branding, improving sales and gaining further market share. The main purpose of this exploratory is to gain comprehensive frame work for marketers in cosmetic industry, this frame work could guide marketers about the proper promotional activities about mascara product and aware us from the most influential factors of Iranian consumer buying behavior.this study have initiated with exploratory research which use qualitative data and then gradually shifted to descriptive research with respect to the quantitative data. The instruction method for collecting the primary data was questionnaire. However, having a website and online shopping for a business is important and it could help to bring products or services to the right people and to reach the target audience, but according the survey, there is not much interest in online shopping in Iran Empirical studies have shown Quality, reliability, packaging and price are the most important factors that impact on consumer satisfaction about the Mascara. <#LINE#> @ @ Joy V.A.A., Postmodernism, Feminism, The visible and the invisible in consumer research, 333-3357 (1994) @No $ @ @ H.E.S.S, Mirror ...

The comparison between the two approaches is made on the basis of Bayes estimates, posterior risks, credible intervals and highest posterior density regions for different sample sizes and parameter values. The Bayesian predictive intervals assuming informative priors are calculated for different combinations of the hyperparameters to discover the range of hyper-parameters that lead towards more precise estimates of the parameters of interest. <#LINE#> @ @ Sinha S.K., Bayesian Estimation, New Age International (P) Limited, New Delhi, (1998) @No $ @ @ Javed M. and Saleem M Alamgir, A Bayesian Analysis of the Rayleigh Life Time Model, World Applied Science Journal, 16(2), 220-226 (2012) @No $ @ @ Sinha S.K. and Howlader H.A., Credible and HPD intervals of the parameter and reliability of Rayleigh distribution, IEEE Transactions-Reliability, 32, 217-220 (1983) @No $ @ @ Lalitha S. and Mishra A., Modified maximum likelihood estimation for Rayleigh distribution, Communications in Statistics: Theory and Methods, 25, 389-401 (1996) @No $ @ @ Bose S., Bayesian robustness with mixture classes of priors, The Annals of Statistics, 22(2), 652-667 (1994) @No $ @ @ Bolstad W.M., Introduction to Bayesian Statistics.

Appropriate strategies can be suggested for future planning and efficient utilization of the networks by the identification of the weak points. Considering that electrical distribution networks are among the most appropriate parts in reliability measurement studies, reliability scales for Zahedan Distribution Network in 2012 were calculated in the current work. In this study, input parameters were modelled by defining appropriate membership functions with the triangular fuzzy algorithm. Then, the appropriate criterion for calculation of reliability in distribution systems was selected using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), and reliability of the input parameters were calculated based on the selected criterion. The purpose of these calculations is presentation of necessary strategies for planning to decrease the number and duration of unplanned power failures, decrease the losses, and propitiate electricity consumers in Sistan and Baluchestan Province. In this paper, the case study is based on the sample network of Zahedan. <#LINE#> @ @ Ghazi A. and Falaghi H. et al., Modeled and investigating changes in reliability indexes of distribution networks over the years (2004) @No $ @ @ Shokrolahi Gavzan A. and Ahmadi Kamarposhti M., Investigating factors affecting failure rate of lines and repair time on the reliability indexes of electrical distribution networks using fuzzy logic (2011) @No $ @ @ Kazemi A., Power Systems Analysis (2), First Edition, Payam Noor University Press (1999) @No $ @ @ Milani K., Airlines of electricity distribution networks: Equipment and Design, Sixth Edition, Journal of Applied Educational Institute of Water and Power, (2010) @No $ @ @ Jirofti M. and Nazari M., Identifying and Prioritizing Effective Factors on Price Satisfaction in Banking Services using Fuzzy AHP, Research Journal of Recent Sciences, 3(3), 33-39 (2014) @No $ @ @ Taghizadeh H. and Ershadi sis M., Supplier's, Selection in Supply Chain with Combined QFD and ANP Approaches (Case study), Research Journal of Recent Sciences,2(6), 66-76 (2013) @No <#LINE#>The Relationship between Communication Skills and Error Reporting by Nurses in Iranian Social Security Organization Hospitals in Isfahan, Iran<#LINE#>M.R.@Maleki,A.A.@Nasiripour,NajafabadiM.@Pouladchang<#LINE#>41-46<#LINE#>6.ISCA-RJRS-2014-235.pdf<#LINE#>Department of Health Services Management, Collage of management and Economics, Tehran Science and Research Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, IRAN<#LINE#>25/1/2014<#LINE#>1/5/2014<#LINE#> Nowadays, clinical errors are one of the serious problems of the health system and a threat for the patients’ safety. Different aspects of the patient safety including communication skills, group works and disclosing clinical errors have been considered by the policy-makers today. In this study, 248 nurses employed in three hospitals of Isfahan Province Social Security Organization served as the participants and the communication skill score of each one was calculated on three verbal skill, listening and feedback dimensions. Total clinical errors reported by the nurses within three domains including Near-Miss errors, No-Harm errors and Adverse Event were determined and the effect of communication skill score on the rate of reporting clinical errors was studied. This study provides a basis for setting preventive strategies for clinical errors. <#LINE#> @ @ Ravaghi H., Sadat S.M., Mostofian F., Vazirian S. and Heidarpour P., Friendly Hospital Patient Safety, Assessment Guide/WHO, Published: Mehrravash, Tehran (2011) @No $ @ @ Quagly H., Mckee M., Nolte E. and Glinos I., Assuring the Quality of Health Care in the European Union.

Theoretically, MBI consists of three sub-scales: emotional exhaustion, cynicism and personal efficacy. We further test for the relationship between the three subscales as indicated by the literature. We used confirmatory factor loading (CFA) to validate the instrument and structural equation modeling (SEM) to test the relationship of variables. The data was collected from two hundred and sixty-three employees in Pakistan. The results confirmed that MBI-GS is a three- factor construct. MBI-GS is valid and reliable scale. The results also confirmed the relationship within the subscales (positive relationship of exhaustion and cynicism and negative relationship of cynicism and personal efficacy) in the developing country. <#LINE#> @ @ Schaufeli W.B., Leiter M.P., Maslach C. andS.E., Maslach Burnout Inventory: General SurveyMaslach, S.E.

The content of media can play a considerable role in shaping an “ideal body” or “a negative/positive body image”. This image, therefore, affects choosing clothes as one of dimensions of body experience. Accordingly, the present research investigates the relationship between content of media, body image and choosing clothes among male and female university students. To do this, a survey method was used. The population consists of 300 male and female students in associate degree, undergraduate and graduate degrees at Islamic Azad University. The participants aged 18-30 were selected through the random sampling method. Using the Cochran’s formula, 163 subjects were selected as the sample size. For the data collection, two standardized SATAQ-3 and researcher-made questionnaires in form of Likert scale were applied as the research instruments in order to measure the background factors like age, sex, and social status. The obtained results indicate that a positive and meaningful association exists between content of media and body image. Also, body image positively relates to choosing clothes. However, no meaningful association was observed between age, sex, and social status and body image. <#LINE#> @ @ Green P. and Pritchard M., Predictors of body image dissatisfaction in adult men and women, J.

The present study was designed to assess the precise impact of cooperative learning through learning together on the reduction of test anxiety. In this study, cluster sampling was used. This research is a quasi-experimental field study and was carried from early February 2012 at Islamic Azad University of Hamedan. Method of this study was quasi-experimental that has been performed using repeated measurements in experimental and control groups. The number of experimental group was 20 people and the number of control group was 16 people and 4 people were randomly removed, in other words the two groups included 16 people. In the analysis of the test, Kolmogorov - Smirnov tests ANOVA, t-test, independent and multivariate analyses of variance (MANOVA) were used. The results of this study suggest that collaborative learning reduces test anxiety at Islamic Azad University and there is a significant relationship between dependent and independent variables with a confidence level of 95%. In this paper, the study of anxiety in men and women and their comparison showed that there was not much difference variance and is almost identical in both men and women. <#LINE#> @ @ Behbudi Muhammad, The relationship between critical thinking and self-efficacy, Identity Style studying in third year high school students, Master's thesis (2004) @No $ @ @ Karimi, The effect of teaching methods on student achievement in elementary cooperation models, Council for Educational Research, (2005) @No $ @ @ Adibnia Assad, Advanced teaching methods, Islamic Azad University Branch: Research, (2010) @No $ @ @ Khalkhaali M., Chemistry teaching models, Tehran: Center for Academic Publication, (1996) @No $ @ @ Shabani Hassan, Skills, teaching methods and teaching techniques, Tehran: Samt, (2004) @No $ @ @ Slavin Robert, Summarizes research conducted on collaborative learning, (Translated by F. faqih Qazvin), Education Quarterly. 2, 129-114, (Release date is not the primary language), (1992) @No $ @ @ Saif Ali Akbar, Modern Educational Psychology: The Psychology of Learning.

Usually, these sharp changes in image characteristics indicate significant events and changes in environment characteristics. Therefore, this study aims to detect and retouch image edges by fuzzy logic. Existence of additional points and lines is one of the important disadvantages of different methods of edge detection. This disadvantage causes difficulties in detecting edge. In recommended method by fuzzy adjustment of images, the additional lines and points are removed in edge detection results, weak edges are reinforced, and important edges are extracted. In order to identify the additional points and lines and weak edges in edge detection, some rules have been defined in fuzzy rule base. Finally, comparison of extracted edges with fuzzy adjustment method and other methods indicated that edge detection by the fuzzy adjustment method (recommended by this paper) is more effective than other methods in edge detection. <#LINE#> @ @ Aborisade D.O., Novel Fuzzy logic Based Edge Detection Technique, International Journal of Advanced Science and Technology, (32), 75-82 (2011) @No $ @ @ Canny J.F., A computational approach to edge detection, IEEE Trans. on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, (6), 679-698 (2009) @No $ @ @ Madasu H., John S. and Shantaram V., Fuzzy Edge Detector Using Entropy Optimization, Proceedings of the International Conference on Information Technology: Coding and Computing, (54), 1004-1006 (2010) @No $ @ @ Zadeh L.A, Fuzzy sets, Information and Control, (8),338-353 (2008) @No $ @ @ Kaufmann A., Introduction to the Theory of Fuzzy Subsets, Fundamentals Theoretical Elements, (96), 125-129 (2011) @No $ @ @ Bezdek L.C., Pattern Recognition with fuzzy Objective Function Algorithm, Plenum Press5(45), 158-162 (2007) @No $ @ @ Cheung K. and Chan W., Fuzzy One –Mean Algorithm for Edge Detection, (55) 2039-2044 (1995) @No $ @ @ Kuo Y., Lee C. and Liu C., A New Fuzzy Edge Detection Method for image Enhancement, IEEE Inter.

As all buildings form the definite place, all places are not the same and they should have the special features of definite place. The regionalism term was introduced in the late 18th century as one of the main theories of architecture criticism and it asked for continuing the traditions, beliefs and cultural and ethnic values and taking into attention the cultural, geographical and climatic characteristics of a special region and is rooted in deep beliefs as resistance to others culture and returning to the ethnical cultural tradition. The followers of regionalism in participative architecture consider using the features of region in architecture as indirect participation. The various participative types are social gathering, questionnaire participation, consulting design, functional participation, interactional participation, regionalism and indirect participation. This study evaluated various types of participative design that by searching new ways to respond the applied needs in a society, with special features and special definition of it their participative type in design process attempts the effect interference and respond the users in design. The study and analysis of participative samples in various regions showed that using regionalism participative type and indirect participation in the form of considering the models and symbolic buildings, referring to the collective memories and considering the sign qualities in the region can be applied as responding method in making the users interfere in design process of students science park in Razi University of Kermanshah. <#LINE#> @ @ Lee Y., What Are The Social Responsibilities Of Designers?

These equations are nonlinear and in the form of twenty seven variable of displacement gradients and hence they are not applicable in the practical works. Due to the fact that the particle displacement is composed of two parts, the static part caused by the applied stress and the dynamic part due to the propagating stress wave, to linearize the equations of motion, a Taylor series expansion about the static deformation state is used. Three linearized components of the equations of motion have the form of an eigenvalue problem and its solution gives the wave velocities in the billet in the presence of stress. The analytical results in time delay for one dimensional stress field in a billet are compared with the experimental results and there is a reasonable agreement between them. <#LINE#> @ @ Deputat J., Ultrasonic measurement of residual stresses under industrial conditions, ACTA Acust United AC., 79(2), 161-169 (1993) @No $ @ @ Fukuoka H. and Toda H., Field applications of acoustoelastic stress measurement, Residual Stresses –III, Science and Technology, Edited by Fujiwara, H., Abe, T., Tanaka , K., Vol.1 , 290-297, Elsevier Applied Sciences, (1992) @No $ @ @ Srinivasan M.N., Chunda S.N., Bray S.N. and Alagarsamy D.EA., Ultrasonic technique for residual stress measurement in ductile iron continuous cast round bars, J Test Eval, 205), 331-335 (1992) @No $ @ @ Talana E., Bourse M., Fremiot M. and De Belleval J.F., Determination of near surface stresses on welded joints using ultrasonic methods, NDT and EINT, 282), 83-88(1995) @No $ @ @ He L.F. and Kobayashi S., Acoustoelastic determination of residual stress with laser doppler velocimetry, Exp Mech, 41(2), 190-194 (2001) @No $ @ @ Toupin R.A. and Bernstein B., Sound waves in deformed perfectly elastic materials.

The number of participants was 368 (180 males and 188 females). Based upon the scores obtained from the Quick Placement Test, the participants were assigned to three levels of language proficiency, i.e. beginner, lower intermediate, and advanced. PM was measured by nonword repetition (NWRP) and nonword recognition (NWRC) tests, and L2 lexical knowledge was assessed by Vocabulary Levels Test (VLT) in the first week of an intensive six-week English course. Afterward, Pearson correlations were conducted through SPSS 21. The findings showed that adult male/female EFL learners’ L2 lexical knowledge and PM tests were moderately high correlated in the beginning and lower intermediate levels of language proficiency. <#LINE#> @ @ Baddeley A.D., Working memory and language: An overview, Journal of Communication Disorders, 36(3)189-208 (2003) @No $ @ @ Baddeley A.D., The episodic buffer: A new component of working memory?, Trends in Cognitive Sciences, , 417-422 (2000) @No $ @ @ Martin K.I. and Ellis N., The roles of phonological short-term memory and working memory in L2 grammar and vocabulary learning, Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 34, 379-413 (2012) @No $ @ @ Hummel K.M. and French L.M., Phonological memory and implications for the second language classroom, The Canadian Modern Language Review, 66(3), 371–391 (2010) @No $ @ @ Cheung H., Nonword span as a unique predictor of second-language vocabulary learning, Developmental Psychology, 32(2), 867-873 (1996) @No $ @ @ Service E. and Kohonen V., Is the relation between phonological memory and foreign-language learning accounted for by vocabulary acquisition?, Applied Psycholinguistics, 15 155-172 (1995) @No $ @ @ Masoura E.V. and Gathercole S.E., Phonological short-term memory and foreign language learning.

The study was aimed to determine the physical-chemical parameters (acidity, peroxide, iodine and saponification values), the fatty acid profile, of vegetable oils obtained from Garcinia kola Heckel produced in Benin. Analyses showed a lipid potential of Garcinia kola was 28.37%. Quality index obtained: acidity (1%); saponification (176 mg KOH / g oil); peroxide (9 O2/kg-oil meq) and iodine (80 mg of iodine g-oil) were in conformity with conventional standards of appreciation of the quality of alimentary oils. The fatty acid profile was dominated by oleic acid (38.35%) followed by linoleic acid (27.15%), palmitic acid (21.80%) and stearic acid (10.93%). Myristic acid (~1.76%), arachidic acid (~1%) and palmitoleic (~0.2%) were poorly represented. The high proportion of unsaturated fatty acids (&#x-100;70%), largely known in nutrition allowed these vegetable oils to be used as food supplements. This study revealed in defatted meal the predominance of minerals such as nitrogen N (0.59%), potassium K (0.34%), Calcium Ca (0.10%) and as well as total protein (MS ~9%), starch (62.9% DM) and total sugar (12.00% DM) indicating their potential use in animal feed. The unsaponifiables of vegetable oil such as sterols and tocols were quantified to 63 and 4000 mg/100 g edible by LC-MS method which could predict their use in cosmetics. <#LINE#> @ @ Raita M., Laothanachareon T., Champreda V. and Laosiripojana N., Biocatalytic esterification of palm oil fatty acids for biodiesel production using glycine-based cross-linked protein coated microcrystalline lipase, Journal of Molecular Catalysis B: Enzymatic, 73, 74-79.(2011) @No $ @ @ McMichael P, Agrofuels in the food regime, The Journal of Peasant Studies,37(4), 609-629 (2010) @No $ @ @ Timilsina G.R., Beghin J.C., Mensbrugghe D., and Mevel S., The impacts of biofuels targets on landuse change and food supply: A global CGE assessment, Agricultural Economics,43, 315-332 (2012) @No $ @ @ Nyam K.L., Tan C.P., Lai O.M., Long K. and CheMan Y.B., Physicochemical properties and bioactive compounds of selected seed oils LWT, Food Science and Technology,42, 1396-1403 (2009) @No $ @ @ Li C., Yao Y., Zhao G., Cheng W., Liu H., Liu C., Shi Z., Chen Y. and Wang S., Comparison and Analysis of Fatty Acids, Sterols, and Tocopherols in eight Vegetable Oils, Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry,59, 12493-12498 (2011) @No $ @ @ Legrand P., Les acides gras : structures, fonctions, apports nutritionnels conseillés, Cahiers de Nutrition et de Diététiques, 42, Hors série 1, 7-12 (2007) @No $ @ @ Rioux V., Galat A., Jan G., Vinci F., D’Andréa S. and Legrand P., Exogenous myristic acid acylates proteins in cultured rat hepatocytes, The Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry,13, 66-74 (2002) @No $ @ @ Bourre J.M., Dumont O., Clement M. and Durand G., Endogenous synthesis cannot compensate for absence of dietary oleic acid in rats, Journal of Nutrition,127, 488-493 (1997) @No $ @ @ Burr G.O. and Burr M.M., A new deficiency disease produced by the rigid exclusion of fat from the diet, Journal Biological Chemistry,82, 345-367 (1929) @No $ @ @ Djenontin S.T., Wotto V.D., Lozano P., Pioch D. and Sohounhloué D.K.C., Characterisation of Blighia sapida (Sapindaceae) seed oil and defatted cake from Benin.

At the same time the ‘white pollution’ caused by plastic wastes is a major environmental problem due to their recalcitrant nature. Even the simplest form of plastics, i.e., polyethylene is strong and highly durable and takes upto 1000 years for natural degradation in the environment. Current study reveals that photocatalysis can be used successfully as an Advanced Oxidation Technique for the slow but steady degradation of polyethylene plastics (PEP). Semiconductors such as ZnO and TiO assist the photodegradation of PEP through the generation of highly reactive free radicals which interact with the pollutant. TiO is at least 20% more efficient than ZnO as a photocatalyst in this respect. The process is pH dependent and acidic condition favours the degradation. Oxidizing agents such as H2 and peroxydisulphate (PDS) accelerate the semiconductor catalysed degradation. The enhancement depends on the concentration of the oxidizer and stabilises at an optimum range. Critical parameters for optimum efficiency for the degradation of PEP are identified and evaluated. A tentative mechanism for the degradation is also proposed based on the observations. <#LINE#> @ @ Herrmann J.M., Heterogeneous Photocatalysis: fundamentals and applications to the removal of various types of aqueous pollutants, Catal.

On the other hand, some architects attempt to mimic the western designs in order to precede the advancements in world architecture making Iran’s architecture similar to western designs. Also, to develop an Iranian identity, architects attempt to mimic Vernacular Architecture of Iran as Islamic architecture and/or national identity resulting in giving Iranian identity to the buildings. Generally speaking, it could be stated that contemporary architecture of Iran is immersed in uncertainty about tradition and modernization. Previous experiences dating back to four or five decades ago have shown that despite lots of deficiencies, there is an expectancy for modernization of Iran’s traditional architecture concerning today’s needs resulting in efflorescence of historic and cultural identity. The main objective of present paper is to observe role of tradition and identity in Iran’s contemporary architecture, for this library method including descriptive type within observing texts, books, references and papers has been used. Obtained results report the great change in architecture domain by which preserving traditional and identity principles in today’s modern works could be seen. <#LINE#> @ @ Arian Pour M., English to Persian dictionary, Tehran, Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance, (2006) @No $ @ @ Akrami Gh., The mysteries of the rural life, Tehran, House and the Rural Environment,131, 27-50 (2010) @No $ @ @ Benevolo L., Modern architecture history, trans.

Comparing to armies of 4th and 5th decades in Iran, Ghaznavidarmy was different from Samanids army through relying on a body composed of its relatives from Turk members. However, the organization changed into a multinational army as a result of lack of force or lack of trust in some Sepahsalars. The organizations was composed of different nations and generations; although, the main core was again composed of Turk slaves. The present study is in kind of a descriptive-analytical and historical research and is aimed at investigating quality of military and army department of Ghaznavid dynasty through applying traditional references and current studies. <#LINE#> @ @ Ibn Hughol Abolghasem, Sovar Al-arz, trans.

Virginia Woolf as a feminist writer constitute a climate in which how women faces with this discrimination. Mrs. Woolf discloses that despite the development of technology and modernity in an industrial city like a London , how sexual differences between men and women become enormous day by day, impede their advancement and how this kinds of society can influence and direct women life to the annihilation due to their corrupted point of view. <#LINE#> @ @ Virginia Woolf, Mrs. Dalloway, (1925) @No $ @ @ Deborah Guth, What a Lark!

The main bioactive compounds which exert pharmacological effect are derived from secondary plant metabolism. Several different groups of secondary metabolic compounds with different chemical structure and pharmacological properties are produced in plants. Among such different groups of secondary metabolic compounds, the compounds produced by simple modification of the basic chalcone or stilbene backbone have drawn interest of researcher working in this field. The enzyme(s) responsible for the formation of such chalcone or stilbene backbone structures are collectively known as type III polyketide synthase. These chalcone or stilbene backbone structures are further modified in enzymatic process within the plant cell and thus acts as the precursor substrate(s) in the biosynthesis of an array of compounds with significant pharmacological properties. The existence of enzyme(s) within this group producing functionally diversified products with immense pharmacological properties made them a good candidate for studying in molecular level. Research involving protein engineering approach to modify the enzyme architecture through modification in gene level for altering the substrate specificity, number of condensation reaction and cyclization of the intermediate product to alter the compound structure are getting priorities. A brief overview of this group of enzyme, their evolutionary significance, state of research in molecular level and recent interesting findings are presented here. <#LINE#> @ @ Dixon R.A., Natural products and plant disease resistance, Nature, 411, 843-847 (2001) @No $ @ @ Harborne J.B., Classes and functions of secondary products from plants, Chemicals from Plants-Perspectives on Plant Secondary Products, ed by Walton JN and Brown DE, Imperial College Press, London, UK, 1-25 (1999) @No $ @ @ Voget T., Phenylpropanoid Biosynthesis, Molecular Plant, 3(1), 2-20 (2010) @No $ @ @ Austin M.
