<#LINE#>Bank selection and Marketing Mix; New aspect of selecting bank using KANO-Analytic Hierarchy process approach<#LINE#>Hoseini1@MirzaHasan,bargi@Shahin,Khalili@safari1,hakimi@Iman<#LINE#>1-9<#LINE#>1.ISCA-RJRS-2013-434.pdf<#LINE#><#LINE#>10/7/2013<#LINE#>20/12/2013<#LINE#>This paper is aimed at investigating the important factors in the preferences of bank selection among students of Yazd University- Iran, we have used KANO-Analytic Hierarchy Process model to develop a conceptual framework. Factors commonly used in the bank selection preferences have been classified based upon Kano’s three quality dimensions dedicated to products and services. Considering the concept
frame of Marketing Mix, the Analytical Hierarchy Process technique has been used to rank effective factors on bank selection decision. The results of this research can be useful for the bank managers in Iran to find out their strengths and weaknesses points of the bank in order to attract more customers. <#LINE#> @ @ Almossawi M, Bank selection criteria employed by college students in Bahrain: an empirical analysis, International Journal of Bank Marketing, 19(3), 115-125 (2001) @No $ @ @ Anderson W.T., Cox E.P. and Fulcher D.G., Bank selection decision and marketing segmentation, Journal of marketing, 40(1), 40-5 (1976) @No $ @ @ Arora R., Cavusgil S.T. and Nevin J.R., Evaluation of financial institutions by bank versus savings and loan customers: an analysis of factor congruency, International Journal of Bank Marketing, 3(3), 47-55 (1985) @No $ @ @ Avkiran N.K., Quality customer service demands human contact, International Journal of Bank Marketing, 17(2)61-71 (1999) @No $ @ @ Beatty S.E., Mayer M., Coleman J.E., Reynolds K.E. and Lee J., Customer: sales associate retail relationships, Journal of Retailing, 72(3), 223-47 (1996) @No $ @ @ Boyd W.L., Leonard M. and White C., Customer preferences for financial services: an analysis, International Journal of Bank Marketing, 12(1), 9-15 (1994) @No $ @ @ Buttle F., Relationship Marketing: Theory and Practice, Chapman, London (1996) @No $ @ @ Chua E.K., Customer Intention to Deposit at Banks: An Empirical Investigation of its Relationship with Attitude, Normative Belief, and Confidence, National University of Singapore Thesis Collection, Singapore (1981) @No $ @ @ Claycomb C. and Martin C.L., Building customer relationships: an inventory of service providers’ objectives and practices, Journal of Services Marketing, 16(7), 615-35 (2002) @No $ @ @ Denton L. and Chan A.K.K., Bank selection criteria of multiple bank users in Hong Kong, International Journal of Bank Marketing, 9(4), 23-34 (1991) @No $ @ @ Devlin J.F., An analysis of choice criteria in the home loans market, International Journal of Bank Marketing, 20(5), 212-26 (2002a) @No $ @ @ Devlin J.F. and Ennew C.T., How the young choose financial services: a quantitative analysis, 34th EMAC Proceedings, University Bocconi, Milan(2005) @No $ @ @ Dupuy G.M. and Kehoe W.S., Comments on bank selection decisions and marketing segment, Journal of Marketing, 40(4), 89-91 (1976) @No $ @ @ Edris T.A. and Almahmeed M.A., Services considered important to business customers and determinants of bank selection in Kuwait: a segmentation analysis, International Journal of Bank Marketing, 15(4), 126-133(1997) @No $ @ @ Elliot M.B., Shatto D. and Singer C., Three customer values are key to marketing success, Journal of Retail Banking Services, 18(1), 1-7 (1996) @No $ @ @ Forman E. and Gass S., The analytic hierarchy process: an exposition, Operations Research, 49, 469-86 (2001) @No $ @ @ Golden B., Wasil E. and Harker P., The Analytic Hierarchy Process: Applications and Studies, Springer, Berlin, (1989) @No $ @ @ Grady B. and Spencer H., Managing Commercial Banks,Prentice-Hall, Englewood Cliffs, NJ, (1990) @No $ @ @ Gupta Y. and Torkzadeh G, Re-designing bank service: systems for effective marketing, Long Range Planning21(6) (1988) @No $ @ @ Haj Shirmohammadi A. and Wedley W.C., Maintenance management: An AHP application for centralization /decentralization, Journal of Quality in Maintenance Engineering, 10(1), 16-25 (2004) @No $ @ @ Holstius K. and Kaynak E, Retail banking in Nordic countries: The case of Finland, International Journal of Bank Marketing, 13(8), 10-20 (1995) @No $ @ @ Javalgi R.G., Armacost R.L. and Hosseini J.C., Using the analytical hierarchy Process for bank management analysis of customer bank selection decisions, Journal of Business Research, 19(1), 33-49 (1989) @No $ @ @ Karjaluto H., Selection criteria for a mode of bill payment: Empirical investigation among Finnish bank customers, International Journal of Retail & Distribution Management, 30(6), 331-39 (2002) @No $ @ @ Kaynak E., Kucukemiroglu O. and Odabasi Y., Commercial bank selection in Turkey, International Journal of Bank Marketing, 9(4), 30-45 (1991) @No $ @ @ Kaynak E. and Kucukemiroglu O., Bank and product selection: Hong Kong, International Journal of Bank Marketing, 10(1), 3-16 (1992) @No $ @ @ Kennington C., Hill J. and Rakowska A., Customer selection criteria for banks in Poland, International Journal of Bank Marketing, 14(4), 12-21 (1996) @No $ @ @ Khazeh K. and Decker D.H., How customers choose banks, Journal of Retail Banking, 14(14), 41-4 (1992) @No $ @ @ Kotler Philip, Marketing management: analysis, planning, implementing and control (9th ed).

<#LINE#>A Cytogenetic Study on Some Perennial Trigonella (Fenugreek) in Iran<#LINE#>Riasat@Mehrnaz<#LINE#>10-13<#LINE#>2.ISCA-RJRS-2013-707.pdf<#LINE#> Fars Research Center for Agriculture and Natural Resources, Shiraz, IRAN<#LINE#>2/10/2013<#LINE#>5/2/2014<#LINE#>  Trigonella (Fenugreek) is a plant in the family of Papilionaceae. Its origin is Iran and west Asia and then, it has been taken to other parts of the world. At present, it is grown in most European, Asian and African countries. The research cytogenetically studied some perennial trigonella (fenugreek). It was assessed as a case study in Iran. After germination of seeds, the root apical meristem was used for karyotypic studies. Then, it was stabilized, hydrolyzed and stained. At the next stage, the microscopic sample was provided and the morphology of chromosomes was studied. The results showed that all assessed genotypes were diploid with 2n=2x=16 and the chromosomal basis of x=8. At the next stage, genomes including length of long and short arms of chromosome, the ratio of long arm to short arm and the ratio of short arm to long arm were analyzed. Then, the results were studied through Levan’s (et al.) table, the types of chromosomes were identified and Karyotypic symmetry of species was assessed according to the Stebbins’ method. According to the Stebbins’ bilateral table, genotypes of 460 (T.elliptica, Zanjan, Iran), 770 (T.elliptica, Avaj-Qazvin, Iran) and 5310 (T.elliptica, Shurjestan-Fars, Iran) were classified as group 1A (IA), the genotype of 162 (T.elliptica, Hossein Abad-Fars, Iran) was classified as group 2A, and finally, the genotype of 76 (T.elliptica, Gazal Park-Tehran, Iran) was classified as group1B. Genotypes plot showed similar results regarding the parameters of A1 and A2 and Stebbins’ table symmetry classes. At the end, the proximity and remoteness of studied species was chromosomally identified and the results were presented as dendrogram. <#LINE#> @ @ Aykut Y; Maktin E; Unal F and Akan H,  Karyological study on six Trigonella L. species (Legominosae) in Turky, Caryologia,62(2), 89-94 (2009) @No $ @ @ Huziwara Y., Karyotype analysis in some genera of compositeae,  Further studies on the chromosome of Aster, Amer.J.Bot., 49116-119 (1962) @No $ @ @ Ladizinsky G and Vosa CG, Karyotype and c – banding in Trigonella Foenum – graecum (Fabaceae), Plant Systematics and Evolution, 153, 1/2, 1-5 (1986) @No $ @ @ Lakshmi N, RaoTV and Venkateswara Rao T., Karyological and morphological investigations on some inbred strains of Trigonela, Genetical Iberica, 36, 187-200 (1984) @No $ @ @ Levan A.K., Fredga K.and Sandberg A.A.,Nomenclature for centromic position on chromosomes, Hereditas, 52, 201-220 (1964) @No $ @ @ Martin E, Akan H, Ekici M and Ayta Z, New chromosome number in the genus Trigonella L. from Turkey, African Journal of Biotechnology, 10(2), 116-125 (2011) @No $ @ @ Stebbins  G.L.

Humans have to act based on the mental structure, upbringing conditions and the current situation of the environment in a range of communications which are available for them. Conflict is a phenomenon emerged in the organizations from many decades ago up to now which it is an unavoidable phenomenon in humans’ life and it manifests in various forms. In fact, conflict is the individuals’ inclination toward the communication which makes people compassionate toward each other – consequently they would think their interests are against with each other.  In present paper, the observation about the Conflict management styles and the interpersonal relationship in Kerman University of Medical Sciences has been provided. The obtained results showed a significant difference exits between variables of conflict management styles and the interpersonal relationship with demographic variables.  <#LINE#> @ @ Kim TY, Wang C., Kondo M. and T.H., Conflict management styles: the differences among the chinese and Koreans, International Journal of Conflict Manamgnet,18(1), 23-41 (2007) @No $ @ @ Barbuto Jr, Xu Y.

Methods: this study is a semi-experimental design, pre-test- posttest with control group. A statistical population are khalkhal medical college undergraduate that have chosen computer lessons in 91-90 second semester. Study samples included the two classroom computers in the health disciplines who were randomly assigned to two groups (20 students) and control (20 students). Learning test designed by the researcher (reliability 0.75) and attitude toward test questionnaire (reliability 0.70) was used to collect data. It also to analyzes the methods of descriptive statistics (FREQUENCY, MEAN and SD) and was used to evaluate the research hypotheses, T-TEST, MANOVA.  Results: the findings indicated that learning and attitude scores of students in the experimental group was significantly increased compared with control group p 0.05, f2, 35 = 43.98 Conclusion:  The results derived from this study indicated that students who had been trained by "rubric" had better learn. Interviews and field observations have been attributed mainly due to the tangibility of the rubric assignments, transparent evaluation criteria and the rubric guidelines role.  <#LINE#> @ @ Rezaei Eisa, The Effect of Using Electronic Portfolio on the Attitudes, Motivation and Achievement Khajeh Nasir University Student Learning Centre, Master's Thesis, Tehran: Allameh Tabatabai University, (2011) @No $ @ @ MacDonald Idu, Science and Technology in the 21stCentury: Phytomedicine in Focus, Research Journal of Recent Sciences, 2(ISC-2012) @No $ @ @ , 1-7 (2013) @No $ @ @ Bartlett A. and Sherry A.C.,  Two Views of Electronic Portfolios in Teacher Education:  Non-Technology Undergraduates and Technology Graduate Students, International Journal of Instructional Media, 33(3), 245–253 (2009) @No $ @ @ Rosman Md Yusoff and Faisal Khan, Stress and Burnout in the Higher Education Sector in Pakistan: A Systematic Review of Literature, Research Journal of Recent Sciences,2(11), 90-98 (2013) @No $ @ @ Murph K.R. and Davishofer C.O., Psychologist Testing:  Principle and Applications (3rd And 5th Ed.), Prentic-Hall Internationals, (2001) @No $ @ @ Conrad R.M. and Donaldson A., Engaging the Online Learner: Activities and Resources for Creative Instruction, San Francisco: Jossey – Bass, (2004) @No $ @ @ Siegel M.A., Halverson K., Freyermuth S. and Clark C.G., Beyond Grading, The Science Teacher, 28-33, (2011) @No $ @ @ Varghese George Mary and Pandya R Shefali, Igniting Students’ Potential through Viable Instructional Strategies- A Roadmap for Excellence in Education, Research Journal of Recent Sciences., (ISC-2011), 368-370 (2012) @No $ @ @ Hellmann Tori Allison, The Impact Of Rubric Use And Lab Report Performance In Biology Students, A Professional Paper Submitted In Partial Fulfillment of The Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Science Education Montana State University, Bozeman, Montana, (2012) @No $ @ @ Gerken M Elaine, The Implementation of Rubrics to Increase Writing Scores with Secondary Students, Submitted To The Master of Arts In Education Program Of Defiance College In Partial Fulfillment Of The Requirements For The Degree Of Master of Arts In Education, Hicksville High School, (2009) @No $ @ @ Gaytan J. and Mcewan B.C., Effective Online Instructional and Assessment Strategies, The American Journal of Distance Education., 21(3), 117–132 (2007) @No $ @ @ Reddy Y.

<#LINE#>A Linear Feature for On-line Monitoring of Mechanical Defects in Transformer Windings<#LINE#>Ahmad@JavidGhanizadeh,Gharehpetian@GevorkB.<#LINE#>31-40<#LINE#>6.ISCA-RJRS-2014-112.pdf<#LINE#> Electrical Engineering Department, Amirkabir University of Technology, Tehran, IRAN <#LINE#>14/1/2014<#LINE#>7/2/2014<#LINE#>Frequency Response Analysis (FRA) is mostly utilized as an effective diagnosis and monitoring tool to detect typical mechanical defects, i.e., radial deformation and axial displacement, in power transformers. However, it is an off-line technique, i.e., the transformer should be out of service or disconnected to conduct the tests. This paper presents a novel on-line method based on the measurement of terminal current and voltage signals at the power frequency to distinguish between axial displacements and radial deformations in transformer windings. To demonstrate the feasibility of this method, an appropriate detailed RLCM model of the transformer winding is used and various defects are analyzed.

The present research was conducted with aim of studying the effect of all kinds of canopies on reduction of energy consumption in commercial buildings in Yazd, using external canopies for one year in the commercial building in Yazd. This is an empirical research. AngstromPrescott formula was used to measure the amount of input energy by canopy in indoor commercial spaces. The results of paired-t test in SPSS indicates that regarding all external canopies – except for horizontal aluminum plates with a blade angle of 90 - there is a significant relationship between using various kinds of external canopies. Regarding internal canopies, the results of paired-t test also indicate there is a significant relationship between the use of various kinds of these canopies and the reduction of radiated solar energy. In other words using various kinds of blinds and curtains for indoor space of Yazd commercial building effects the reduction of energy consumption. Also comparing the efficiency of various canopies against the same input energy, it can be said that the highest efficiency of external canopy is related to external blind with a blade angle of 90\r, and the least efficiency is related to aluminum blade with an angle of 90\r. Also, the highest efficiency of internal canopy is related to internal blind with a 90\r blade, and the least is related to internal blind with 0\r blade. <#LINE#> @ @ Arif  Kamal M., An Overview of Passive Cooling Techniques in Buildings: Design Concepts and Architectural Interventions, Architecture, 55(1),(2012) @No $ @ @ Tzempelikos A. and Roy M., A Simulation Design Study for the Façade Enovation of An OCanadian Solar Buildings Conference Montreal (2004), @No $ @ @Hossein Abadi S, Lashkari H.M. and  Salmani Moghadam, Climatic design of residential building of Sabzevar with emphasis on building orientation and depth of canopy, Geography and DeveloJournal, 27, (2012) @No $ @ @ Karimiyan A.A., Iran Nejad M. and Mesdaghi M., The comparison of biotic and nonbiotic methods of shading in dry and warm regions (Case study: Yazd University Campus), Journal of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, 16(1), (2009) @No $ @ @ Khorasani Zade H, SheikhZade G.A. and Jeid Sabz Pooshan, Investigation of building orientation and effect of canopy on energy consumption reduction, Fuel Consumption Optimizing Organization.(2006) @No $ @ @ Carbon Trust., How to implement solar shading, 7.Kasmaie M., Climate and architecture, Tehran, Khak publication, (2003) @No $ @ @ Mahram M., Study and design compatible with hot and dry climate (design of residential complex in Kashan city), MA thesis, architecture departmeModares University, reader Mojtaba Ansari,(2005) @No $ @ @ Saligheh M., Housing modeling compatible with climate for Chabahar city, Geography and Development Iranian Journal, (2004) @No $ @ @ Duffie J.A. and Beckman W.A., Solar Engineering of Thermal Processes, 2nd Edition, WilleyNew York, (1991) @No $ @ @ Tavousi T., Houshmand A. and Kazemi A., Climate and architecture of newly built schools of Isfahan city, Sistan and Baluchestan University, Development Iranian Journal1 (2008) @No $ @ @ David M., Donn M., Garde F. and Lenoir A., Assessment of the thermal and visual efficiency of solar shades, Building and Environment 46,1489-1406 (2011) @No $ @ @ Moieni Sam., Estimating the solar radiation in Iran by using the optimal model, (2010) @No

No one can be leave or left from both of them these both should be parallel for successful life. If a person left even a single one or disturbed from one of them then the other one is also been disturb or it cannot be go efficient in work place. The inappropriateness between these two factors or domains creates stress and psychological strains. Thus this study examined the effect of work family conflict on the turnover and on the performance of an employee. Our area to collect the data and conduct the research from banking sector of Pakistan. We collected the data through a well-defined and reliable questionnaire. This study showed that employees assigned in various banks had experiences of conflicts, strain, conflicts in their workplaces, which impacted negatively on their work, family, and health. Moreover, the employees have perceived on a general basis that their work and life are not balanced in with their current jobs. Furthermore, the findings suggest that conflicts and stress positively correlated among employees. Similarly, organizational performance is also positively correlated with the employee performance. In other words, the employees were neither saved nor spared from work-life conflicts. It is recommended that management tackle and implement work-life enrichment initiatives, both affective and instrumental, to improve the market position of employer of choice and thereby it will enjoy significant cost savings related to human resources because it will be able to attract and retain a crop of quality front-line employees.  <#LINE#> @ @ Barry J.J., Chandler and Clark H., Between the ivory tower and the academic assembly line, Journal of Management Studies, 38(1), 87-101 (2001) @No $ @ @ Eby L.T. et al., Work and family research in IO/OB: content analysis and review of the literature (1980-2002), Journal of Vocational Behavior, 66(1), 124-197 (2005) @No $ @ @ Mathis R.L. and Jackson J.H., Human Resource Management, Thomson South-Western (2010) @No $ @ @ Jacobs J.A. and Winslow S.E., Overworked faculty: Job stress and family demands, Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Sciences,596(1), 104-129 (2004) @No $ @ @ Schultz J.B. and Henderson C., Family Satisfaction and job performance: implications for Career development, Journal of career development, 12, 33-47 (1985) @No $ @ @ Frone M.R., Yardley J.K. and Markel K.S., Developing and testing an integrative model of Work-family interference, Journal of Vocational Behavior, 50, 145-167 (1997) @No $ @ @ Gill M., Green HRM: People Management Commitment to Environmental Sustainability, Res.

The fiscal assessment of flood destruction is becoming a significant priority, and evaluating flood hazardsis vital for flood economics in the United Kingdom. Subsequently, this paper qualitatively investigates the recent UK flood damage costs i.e. predominantly commercial and residential property destruction by incorporating a novel methodology, i.e. Flood Cost Evaluating Device. This approach, estimates damage costs of commercial and residential contents against an amalgamation of centimetre and metre scales. Implications of the methodology provide more precise damage costs, which emphasise potential climate change impacts on current and future generations. Evaluations for UK property costs are found to be circa £1.4 billion per year with &#65533; 6 million properties at flood risk. However, present UK property damage costs represent only 0.1% of national GDP, showing it to be insignificant on a national scale. However, it results in significant losses e.g. housing, commercial building, industry, etc., which has an inevitable and major fiscal impact on local economies in both short and long term, and ultimately will have an increasing effect on the national economy. <#LINE#> @ @ Berz Gerhard, Flood disasters: lessons from the past worries for the future, Proceedings of the ICE-Water and Maritime Engineering, 42(1), 3-8 (2001) @No $ @ @ Barredo J.I., Major flood disasters in Europe: 1950–2005, Journal of Natural Hazards, 42(1), 125-148 (2007) @No $ @ @ Munich Re., Topics Geo Natural catastrophes 2008.Analyses, assessments, positions, Munich Reinsurance Group, Munich, (2009) @No $ @ @ Munich Re., Topics: Geo.

In Iran, like in other countries, the annual consumptionincrease of different types of energy has made energy consumption management and raising energy efficiency national necessities. To be able to solve the energy and natural environment crisis and decrease energy wastage, we need to change our construction methods. In this respect, different components of a building each can act effectively in satisfying the structure’s self-sufficiency. Regarding the wideness of the roof compared to other external components of a building, studying its thermal performance is an important step in finding proper solutions for reducing the building heat wastage and decreasing energy consumption as a result. One strategy is building green roofs. Designed and implemented properly, a green roof can largely reduce energy consumption among other various advantages. Nanotechnology can be a great help when making this type of roof and can greatly affect the energy consumption reduction. The aim of this paper is to study how effective the roof and specially the green roof can be in reducing energy consumption. It also intends to propose new strategies in designing and implementing green roofs using Nanotechnology in order to reduce energy consumption.  <#LINE#> @ @ Ahirwar J.R., Socio-Religious Importance of Plants in Bundelkhand Region of India, Res.

To measure the corporate governance, four factors were used that are; Board Size, Ownership structure, Committees and CEO Duality. Data was collected from 30 listed companies of Karachi stock exchange for firm performance, whereas to measure the corporate governance index primary data was collected from top management and response rate was 86 percent. Regression and correlation were used to analyze the data. The results concluded that committees, board size and CEO duality have negative relationship, whereas ownership structure has positive impact on firm performance. For future research implication, other corporate governance measures can be used to investigate the impact on firm performance. <#LINE#> @ @ Korbacheh  S., Asgari M.

To analyze the performance two tests were performed namely profitability measures (ROA , ROE and EPS ) and paired sample t-test. After the conduction it was concluded that both of them showed the mixed results which leaded some of the banks to the positive impact and some of the banks to the negative impact of merger and acquisition. But if we talk about the overall performance in longer run we can say that banks have slightly  shown improvement in their financial performance  even if the results of the first year of merger were declined but with the passage of time  it increased and a continues to improve. <#LINE#> @ @ Kemal M.U., Post-Merger Profitability: A Case of Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), International Journal of Business and Social Science,2(5)  (2011) @No $ @ @ Sharma V., Do Bank Mergers create shareholder value?, An Event study analysis, Macalester College, (2009) @No $ @ @ Kithitu J., Cheluget J., Keraro V. and Mokamba J, Role of mergers and acquisitions on the performance of commercial banks in Kenya, International journal of management and business studies,2(4), 2230-2463   (2012) @No $ @ @ Halpern P.J., Corporate acquisitions: A theory of special cases?, A review of event studies applied to acquisitions, Journal of Finance,38(2),  297-317 (1983) @No $ @ @ Kathy L., Mergers and Acquisitions, Another Tool for Traders, Investopedia, (2005) @No $ @ @ Amedu S., Corporate Takeover, Acquisition and Merger, The Nigerian Stockbroker, the Official J.

For data collection, three questionnaires were applied as Organizational Climate Description Questionnaire Revision Secondary Schools (OCDQ-RS) with the reliability of 0.82. Meshach Burnout Inventory (MBI) with the reliability of 0.83 and Kyricou & Sutcliff Stress Questionnaire, with the reliability 0.93 were used. The results of the study showed that there was a significant association between organizational climate dimensions of the schools and job burnout of the teachers with correlation coefficient r=0.430. The results of the regression analysis showed that there was a significant positive correlation among organizational climate dimensions, hopeless attitude of teachers and directive behavior of the managers with job burnout of the physical education teachers (P0.05). There was a negative correlation between engaged behavior of the teachers, friendly attitude of the teachers and supportive behavior of the manager with job burnout of physical education teachers. The results showed a correlation between the dimensions of organizational climate and teachers' job stress level of 0.180 at =0.05, which shows that there is a significant relationship. The regression results showed that there is a positive correlation between organizational climate dimensions of directive behavior of the manager and hopeless attitude of the teachers with job stress of the physical education teachers. There was a negative correlation between engaged behavior and friendly attitude of the teachers and supportive behavior of the managers with job stress of the physical education teachers. The results showed that there was a correlation between job burnout dimensions of the teachers and organizational climate of the schools as 0.359 at =0.05 and it showed the significant relationship. The results of regression analysis showed that among the dimensions of job burnout analysis, there was a negative correlation between emotional burn out and depersonalization and organizational climate of the schools but there was a positive correlation between personal success and organizational climate of the schools. The results of the study showed that there was a significant association between organizational climate dimensions and job burnout of the physical education teachers of the schools of Islamshahr town and organizational climate was a good predictor for stress and job burnout of the physical education teachers. <#LINE#> @ @ Sharifzade Fatah and Kazemi Mehdi, Organizational management and culture, First edition, Ghumes edtion, (1994) @No $ @ @ Gholizade Bahmaniar, The review of the organizational climate and management in exceptional schools of Gilan province, MA thesis of educational management, Gilan University, (2002) @No $ @ @ Shirazi Ali, The theories and application of educational management, Mashhad, Jihad Daneshgahi publication, (1992) @No $ @ @ Mohammadi Seyed Mehdi, The study of the stressful job factors of the physical education teachers of Rasht, MA thesis of physical education, Gilan University, (2002) @No $ @ @ Asgarian Mostafa, The human relations and organizational behavior, Tehran, Amirkabir publications, (1999) @No $ @ @ Maslach C. and Jackson S., The Measurement of Experienced Burnout, Journal of Occupational Therapy,2,  99-113 (1981) @No $ @ @ Rahimi Forugh, A review of job burnout analysis or burnout syndrome and its presence in librarian job, Book article.No, 77 (2009) @No $ @ @ Girdin DA, Everly G.S. and Dusek D E, Controlling stress Tension, Allun and Baccon, Needham Heights, MA, (1996) @No $ @ @ Nurbakhsh Mahvash, The study of the relation of organizational climate and job satisfaction among the physical education teachers of secondary schools of Rasht, Olampik publication, 16,7(29), 1 (2005) @No $ @ @ Ramezaninejad  Rahim, The comparison of the supportive behavior of the manager, job retention factors and job stressful factors among the physical education teachers of Universities in Iran, PhD thesis of management and planning in physical education of Tehran University, (2002) @No $ @ @ Moghimi Seyed Ahmad, Organization and management, Tehran, Terme publications, (1998) @No $ @ @ Al-Mahanadi A, capel SStress in physical education teachers in Qatar, Social Psychology of Education,10(1), 55-75 (2007) @No $ @ @ Mehrdad Ali, The organizational and industrial psychology, Second edition, Tehran, Jangal publications, (2002) @No $ @ @ Ojaghi Ali, The evaluation of the organizational climate and teachers’ morale of Malayer city, MA thesis of educational management, Psychology and educational sciences school of Tehran University, (1998) @No $ @ @ Fejgin N., Ephraty N.  and Ben-Sira, D.

Contrary to regular assembly systems, we consider a three-working-station case where we have two intermediate buffers. The flow of materials is discrete. Since availability rate is one of the most important performance indicators for any company, we aim at providing tools to calculate the underlying measure for the assembly systems studied here. We tackle the problem by both simulation and analytical models. We use discrete event approach to simulate model, while in analytical model, we utilize Markov chain to assess the availability. Finally, we evaluate the performance of analytical model by comparing it against the simulation model proposed in this paper. <#LINE#> @ @ Ruiz R., García-Díaz J.C. and Maroto C., Considering scheduling and preventive maintenance in the flowshop sequencing problem, Computers and Operations Research, 34, 3314–3330(2007) @No $ @ @ Mc Collin C. and Disney J., An availability study for a SME, Total Quality Management and Business Excellence, 15(3), 391–403 (2004) @No $ @ @ Kiureghiana A.D., Ditlevsenb O.D. and Song J., Availability, reliability and downtime of systems with repairable components, Reliability Engineering Systems Safety, 92, 231–242(2007) @No $ @ @ Dekker R. and Groenendijk W., Availability assessment methods and their application in practice,  Microelectron Reliability, 35(9–10), 1257 –1274 (1995) @No $ @ @ Tan B. and Groenendijk W., A three-station merge system with unreliable stations and a shared buffer, Mathemathical Computation and Modelling, 33, 1011–1026 (2001) @No $ @ @ Gámiz M.L. and RománY., Non-parametric estimation of the availability in a general repairable system, Reliability and Engineering Systems Safety, 93(8), 1188-1196 (2008) @No $ @ @ Tekin E. and Sabuncuoglu I., Simulation optimization: A comprehensive review on theory and applications, IIE Transactions, 36, 1067–1081 (2004) @No $ @ @ Hamada M., Martza H.F., Bergb E.C. and Koehler A.J., Optimizing the product-based availability of a buffered industrial process, Reliability and Engineering Systems Safety, 91, 1039–1048 (2006) @No $ @ @ Ross S.M., Stochastic processes, 2nd ed., NY: Wiley, (1996) @No $ @ @ Akhwanzada, Salman Ahmad, Mat Tahar and Razman bin, An Analysis of Malaysian Renewable energy target using Simulation Modelling Approach, Res.
