focus of the strategic human resource management is presenting a model of strategies in the hr field to enable the organization achieve its strategic objectives. the main purpose of this study is providing a systematic and fairly standard framework for developing hr strategies. in order to show the applicability of the proposed framework, hr strategies in an oil industry company were developed....

Understanding distributions of wildlife species is a key step towards identifying biodiversity hotspots and designing effective conservation strategies. In this paper, the spatial pattern of diversity of birds in Golestan Province, Iran was estimated. Ecological niche modeling was used to determine distributions of 144 bird species across the province using a maximum entropy algorithm. Richness...

Aim The criteria used to define the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List categories are essentially based on demographic parameters at species level, but they do not integrate species' traits or their roles in ecosystems. Consequently, current IUCN-based protection measures may be sufficient conserve ecosystem functioning and services. Some have a singular combination ...

In an arid country like Kuwait with harsh and hot climate conditions, the scarcity of fresh water supplies presents a serious threat to sustainable socio-economic development and growth. Kuwait is an oil rich country with capital abundance and coastal locations enabled it to build desalination plants for fresh water production that is sold to the customers at highly subsidized prices. However, ...

The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of superficial tactile- kinesthetic stimulation method on weight gain of low birth weight infants This is a quasi experimental, type of clinical trial study which was conducted on 54 low birth weight infants in Alzahra, Shahid Beheshti and Shariati hospitals was conducted by convenient sampling method. They were assigned to two groups of ...

In theory, the expressive power of an aspect language should be independent of the aspect deployment approach, whether it is static or dynamic weaving. However, in the area of strictly statically typed and compiled languages, such as C or C++, there seems to be a feedback from the weaver implementation to the language level: dynamic aspect languages offer noticeable fewer features than their st...

A vector space is used to represent periodic voltage and current signals in a single port electrical network. This representation is convenient for expressing time average power quantities, such as average power, apparent power, and certain definitions of reactive power. The vector representation for reactive power provides insight into the difficulty of finding a consistent definition for a sc...
