Effects were studied of 200 ppm silver and copper nano-suspensions, with size range from 20 to 80 nm, on the hardness of particleboards produced at an industrial scale at the Iran-Choob Factory, Iran. Metal nano-suspensions were added to the mat at two levels of 100 and 150 milli-liters/kg dry weight wood particles, and the results were compared with those of the control panels. Results showed ...

In companies organizing urban public transport, passengers’ feedback is usually collected personally, by phone, e-mail, or via the Internet. Business Intelligence tools enable this process automating data flow between systems used to collect, process, and analyse applying analytical tools. The most important advantage resulting from implementing tool facilitating contact company passengers, whi...

Focusing on the working relationship between Marketing Managers and Sales Managers, our study examines two dimensions of interpersonal conflict: dysfunctional conflict and functional conflict. Drawing on relevant theory, we include three communication variables – frequency, bidirectionality, and quality – as antecedents in our structural model. Using these explanatory variables we predict the t...

Business Intelligence (BI) industry has emerged as a high growth area. Recognizing this fact, both pure play vendors as well as big application and infrastructure vendors are trying different strategies to increase their market shares.

Background: Changes in body composition may be used for monitoring progression/ regression of a disease. Prompt γ-rays in vivo neutron activation analysis (IVNAA) has been widely used for the measurement of body composition in recent years.Objective: In this paper, we tried to improve the safety of IVNAA operator.Methods: The most important factor for reducing the operator receiving dose is th...

Highly crystalline Bi3+-doped cadmium oxide (CdO) sub-micron structures were synthesized by calcination the obtained precursor from a sol-gel reaction. The reaction was carried out with cadmium nitrate (Cd(NO3)2.4H2O), bismuth nitrate (Bi(NO3)3.5H2O) and ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) reactan...

in this paper we find sufficient conditions on primitive inverse topological semigroup s under which: the inversion inv : (h(s)) (h(s)) is continuous; we show that every topologically periodic countable compact primitive inverse topological semigroups with closed h-classes is topologically isomorphic to an orthogonal sum p i2= bi (gi) of topological brandt extensions bi (gi) of countably compac...
