The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of bureaucratic structure on the employee engagement (EE). Our study extends previous researches by considering bureaucracy from two points of view: enabling versus hindering. We study the extent to which these two types of bureaucracy are related to the two forms of employee engagement: organizational (OE) and work engagement (WE). The vie...

In this study, we investigate the aerosol optical properties, namely aerosol extinction optical thickness (AOT), Angström parameter and size distribution over the Eastern Mediterranean Basin, using spectral measurements from the recently established FORTH (Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas) AERONET station in Crete, for the two-year period 2003–2004. The location of the FORTH-AERONE...

garlic (allium sativum l.) as one of the most valuable industrial and pharmaceutical plants has been studied from many aspects because of its importance. but there is not any sufficient and reliable information about its distribution and classification. so its types are categorized according to traditional, local or geographical names or some visual traits. the most important reason is the ster...

We are involved in a program to derive properties of broad absorption line (BAL) winds in quasars using combined UV and X-ray observations. A major obstacle is large uncertainties in the derived BAL column densities because of partial coverage of the background light source. In this preliminary report, we circumnavigate those uncertainties by making a simple assumption – that the relative metal...
