This study examined the relationship of the personality factors (Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism) with each of the three workaholism components i.e. working compulsively, working excessively and combined workaholics. As the study is of exploratory in nature, a sample of 145 academicians was drawn from the two universities of Jammu region (India), namel...

Survey on zooplankton composition was studied during June 2015 to March 2016, by selecting six stations along the coastal waters of Bushehr (the Northwest Persian Gulf). Twenty four zooplankton taxa were identified, and the different zooplankton groups represented twenty-one families. Copepoda was recorded with the most abundance (53.30 %) followed by Malacostraca (32.87 %), which in turn was f...

in a search for new leads towards potent antimicrobial agents, an array of novel (2e)-ethyl-2-(2-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)hydrazono)-4-(naphthalen-2-yl)-6-arylcyclohex-3-ene carboxylates 17-24 were synthesized and characterized through their melting point, elemental analysis, ms, ft-ir, one-dimensional nmr (1h, d2o exchanged 1h and 13c), two dimensional homocor and hsqc spectroscopic data. in-vitro m...

although the persian sturgeon, acipenser persicus , is a commercially valuable sturgeon species of the caspian sea, but there are only few reports about its parasite fauna in the southern part of the caspian sea. in this study, a total of 209 individuals of persian sturgeon were collected from two regions in the southwestern of caspian sea (guilan province, iran) from march 2009 to may 2011. af...

In the present paper for a large family of topological semigroups, namely foundation semigroups, for which topological groups and discrete semigroups are elementary examples, it is shown that ?(S) is the dual of a function algebra.

A new Cercospora species, namely, C. neriicola Ershad on Nerium oleandercollected in Iran was described and illustrated. The new species was compared with C. nerii-indici, the other species on Nerium.

in this paper we introduce and study an algebraic structure, namely grouplike. a grouplike is something between semigroup and group and its axioms are generalizations of the four group axioms. every grouplike is a semigroup containing the minimum ideal that is also a maximal subgroup (but the converse is not valid). the first idea of grouplikes comes from b-parts and $b$-addition of real number...

Three new records of Tanacetum L., namely, T. punctatum and T. zahlbruckneri from Azerbaidjan and T. vulgare from Mazandaran Provinces are reported for the first time from Iran. Illustrations and distribution map are also presented for each species.

salt stress negatively impacts crops yield throughout the world. nine varieties of potato (solanum tuberosum l.) were screened for salt stress tolerance by measuring in-vitro growth of the aerial plant parts, as well as roots. salt stress was evaluated by adding 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150 and 200 mm of nacl to murashige- skoog (ms) medium and compared to ms medium without nacl. plant length and ...

despite the consensus of jurists (fokaha) in safe custody of property (haraz) as one of the punishable conditions when the theft happens, some jurists made an exception in bird case. it means that stealing the bird would not subject to punishment namely cut off the thief's hand, even if the bird was in safe custody.  many of  fokaha, however,  believe that if the bird is in safe custody, t...
