Most researches related to industrial strategy domain fall into two levels: macro (national or industry sector), and corporate. However, studying the level of each industry and its relationship with the higher and lower levels has not adequately been taken into consideration. Therefore, the main question of this research is what the components of petrochemical industry strategy are and what typ...

with the introduction of communicative language teaching, a large number of studies have concerned with students’ oral participation in language classrooms. although the importance of classroom participation is evident, some language learners are unwilling to engage in oral activities. this passivity and unwillingness to participate in language classroom discussions is known as “reticence”. rev...

the major aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between iq, eq and test format in the light of test fairness considerations. this study took this relationship into account to see if people with different eq and iq performed differently on different test formats. to this end, 90 advanced learners of english form college of ferdowsi university of mashhad were chosen. they were ask...

abstract: in this thesis, we focus to class of convex optimization problem whose objective function is given as a linear function and a convex function of a linear transformation of the decision variables and whose feasible region is a polytope. we show that there exists an optimal solution to this class of problems on a face of the constraint polytope of feasible region. based on this, we dev...

در این پایان نامه بر مقاله ی an iterative method for the symmetric and skew symmetric solutions of a linear matrix equation axb+cyd =e نوشته ی xingping sheng و guoliang chen، مروری داشته ایم. در این مقاله دو روش تکراری برای حل معادله ی ماتریسی خطی axb+cyd=e ارائه شده است. روش اول جواب معادله را به صورت متقارن و روش دوم جواب معادله را به صورت پادمتقارن ارائه می دهد. تعدادی مثال های عددی را با...

the major purpose of this study was to develop the translation teacher competency test (ttct) and examine its construct and predictive validity. the present study was conducted in two phases: a qualitative phase as well as a quantitative phase. in the first phase of the study, the author attempted to find out the major areas of competency required for an academic translation teacher. the second...

We present a stochastic dynamic programming approach with Markov chains for optimal control of the forest sector. The forest is managed via continuous cover forestry and the complete system is sustainable. Forest industry production, logistic solutions and harvest levels are optimized based on the sequentially revealed states of the markets. Adaptive full system optimization is necessary for co...
