introduction: today, many organizations attempt to fully develop in gradual evolution of their processes. pcmm is one of the models which focus on improving organizational human capabilities. this model is applied to continually increase people's ability to attract, develop, motivate, organize and retain the skills. in this study, pcmm was used to investigate organizational maturity needs in me...

Fish reproductive biology plays an important role for fishery management, especially in developing countries. The aim of this study was to compile all available information and analyze reproduction patterns of marine fishes in three Large Marine Ecosystems (LMEs): North, East, and South Brazil Shelves. We tested the hypothesis that the onset and duration of spawning season differ among these th...

We show that in stark contrast to conventional wisdom, maturity transformation does not expose banks to significant interest rate risk. Aggregate net interest margins have been near-constant over 1955–2013, despite substantial maturity mismatch and wide variation in interest rates. We argue that this is due to banks’ market power in deposit markets. Market power allows banks to pay deposit rate...

in order to investigate the effect of insufficient irrigation on remobilization percent and plant dry mater in three spring safflower (cartamus tinctorius l.) genotypes, a field experiment was conducted at research farm, faculty of agriculture, the university of birjand, iran, during 2008-2009, as a spilt plot arrangement based on randomized complete block design with four replications. irrigat...

I present a hierarchy of models that illustrate, within the framework of inclusive fitness theory, how demographic factors can predispose a species to the evolution of eusociality. Delayed reproductive maturation lowers the inclusive fitness of a solitary foundress relative to that of a worker. Variation in age at reproductive maturity makes the worker strategy more profitable to some individua...
