nowadays, the concept of sustainable development has found a global application and attracted many parts andbasis of any community. among many factors affecting sustainable developments, educational system is remarkably effective in many ways. the effectiveness of the system is also a function of various factors and components. the managers and their management are one of the components playing...

The present research was conducted to evaluate the quality of training services in maritime training centers of Khuzestan province (including DARYAYE DOOR, SERAJ DARYA and DARYA PEIMAYE GENAVE). For this purpose, SURVQUAL model was used. The research is of descriptive-field study type for which 110 trainees of maritime training centers of Khuzestan province were selected via stratified ra...

Operating training simulators (OTS) are virtual simulation tools used for training of process operators in industry in performing procedures and running processes. Based on structured mathematical models of the unit operations of a bioprocess an OTS can train a process operator by visualising changing conditions during the process, allow testing operator actions, testing controller settings, ex...

We study the effects of various types of education and training on the ability of teachers to promote student achievement. Previous studies on the subject have been hampered by inadequate measures of teacher training and difficulties addressing the non-random selection of teachers to students and of teachers to training. We address these issues by estimating models that include detailed measure...

To date, most evaluations of welfare-related employment and training (WRET) programs have focused on the difference between outcomes in a single site for people who receive the program's "treatment" and those in a control group who do not. This paper argues that progress in determining what makes programs effective requires greater emphasis on planning for synthesis of results from multiple sit...

This paper analyzes the relationship between households’ wealth and heterogeneous treatment impacts for a market-based training program that has benefited more than 40,000 disadvantaged individuals in Peru since 1996. We proxy long-run wealth by a linear index based on 21 household assets. Three main findings emerge. First, we find that voluntary choices among eligibles, rather than administrat...

cerebellar model articulation controller neural network is a computational model of cerebellum which acts as a lookup table. the advantages of cmac are fast learning convergence, and capability of mapping nonlinear functions due to its local generalization of weight updating, single structure and easy processing. in the training phase, the disadvantage of some cmac models is unstable phenomenon...
