The effect of cooling process for the synthesis and the superconductivity properties of Pb-substituted Bi-based materials, has been investigated. The preparation condition for the formation of (2,2,2,3) phase has been examined. The influence of thermal condition of the synthesis and quenching on the critical temperature and the content of 110K phase was investigated. Results of the ac-susceptib...

The resource-based view is a theory of firm performance. Its principal argument is that a firm=s distinctive competencies are the bases for sustainable competitive advantage. These distinctive competencies are explicitly knowledge based resources. How do managers protect these rent generating assets--the skill sets and organizational routines of high value workers--from dissipation? Theory sugg...

nbo analysis and density functional theory (dft: b3lyp/6-311+g**) based method were used to study the impacts of the anomeric effects (ae) on the conformational properties of 2-methoxy-1,2,4,5-tetrahydro-benzo[d]oxepine (1), -thiepine (2) and -selenepine (3). the gibbs free energy difference (geq–gax) values (i.e. δgeq-ax) at 298.15 k and 1 atm between the axial and equatorial conformations inc...

the tumors in which odontogenic differentiation is fully expressed are the odontomas. odontomas are considered as hamartomas rather than a true neoplasm. these tumors are composed of enamel, dentine, cementum and pulp tissue. it is most commonly associated with the eruption of the teeth. they are usually discovered on routine radiographic examination. in exceptional cases, the odontoma erupts i...

the present study investigated comparatively the impact of two types of input enhancement (i.e. textual vs. compound enhancement) on developing grammar ability in iranian efl setting. sixty-five female secondary high school students were selected as a homogenous sample out of about a 100-member population based on nelson language proficiency test. then, their grammar ability was measured based ...

there are different processes to form new words in every language, including compounding, derivation, inflection, etc. in compounding, two lexical stems form a compound. in derivation and inflection, new words are coined by affixation or some phonetic changes. this kind of affixation is applied on the simple or compound stem. here our compound stem is a bound compound stem, consisting of a noun...
