Powell consider the possibility of a micro-sociological supplement to the macro-sociological focus on structure, order, and persistence that has so far dominated research and theory in the new institutionalism. Searching for some answers, they analyze transformations in sociological theory since Parson's theory of action that offer alternatives to the Parsonian emphasis on norms and roles. They...

Article Info The aim of this study is to investigate the contents of essential, macro and micro elements by the energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (EDXRF) in different seaweeds (10 red algae, 5 green algae)from collected different regions of Visakhapatnam coast(India). Seaweeds from different estuarine stations were analyzed by X-ray fluorescence, providing results for the concen...

INTRODUCTION: Clinical researchers lack convenient software tools to investigate mechanisms of bone fracture on a patient-specific basis. Such a tool must be user-friendly and, as bone mineral density alone fails to predict fracture, incorporate both macroand micro-structural information. Micro-parameters relevant to initiation, propagation and arrest of microcracks that cumulatively lead to fr...

The International Trade Division of Statistics Canada has recently re-engineered the Edit and Imputation strategy of the Imports Program. Essentially based on the micro edit approach, the old strategy did not meet the current needs regarding the efficient use of resources and the flexibility of adaptation to new requirements, necessary for the management of so vast a statistical program. The ne...

Architectural limitations in many situations make it necessary for the RC shear walls to be extended in plan in different directions at a single location that makes them a 3D configuration. Analysis of such walls is very challenging. In this research about 450 cases of 3D shear walls are considered with different shapes and heights. L, T and H-shape walls are studied. They are nonlinearly analy...

Mineral concentrations in plants are affected by a number of factors, which turn affect the amounts available directly or indirectly to animals, so concentration some nutrients may be insufficient for needs animals. The article aimed evaluate wide variety chemical elements date fodder often used feed cows, buffaloes, and sheep Basra Governorate, Southern Iraq. In addition, it establishes accept...

background: minerals are essential materials in animal reproduction. the determination of these elements is valuable in relation to different conditions in arabian horses. objectives: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of pregnancy on certain macro and micro minerals in arabian horses. methods: blood samples were collected from one hundred apparently healthy mares from differ...

We propose a layout algorithm for micro/macro graphs, i.e. relational structures with two levels of detail. While the micro-level graph is given, the macro-level graph is induced by a given partition of the micro-level vertices. A typical example is a social network of employees organized into different departments. We do not impose restrictions on the macro-level layout other than sufficient t...
