this article describes a knowledge management (km) success model that is derived from observations generated through an empirical study of km in an iranian consultant company and km success factors in the literature which is shown that company has a weak situation in each factor. so company needs a measurement model in order to assess knowledge management implementation processes in each step t...

understanding the opinions of major role players in education (i.e. teachers, students, and policy makers) on all aspects of learning and teaching is influential to the success of the educational process. the purpose of this study was to investigate efl (english as a foreign language) teachers' views on measuring reading comprehension. a cohort of 50 iranian efl teachers teaching at university,...

this paper is a part of study about the impact of the microclimate on the space use and the user’s behaviours. the purpose of our study is to get an in-depth understanding of how people use out door public spaces in different climatic conditions, how their behaviour and perception of the space change with the climatic variations. we have employed a multi-method approach which combines a “qualit...

control and evaluation are major secrets of an organization's survival.universities, as research and educational organizations, need to be evaluated in order to survive. the results of educational activities encompass a vast spectrum including the graduates, researchers and planners, scientific publications, as well as satisfaction of students, parents, profossors and staff (ramsden, 1996).th...

in this paper, the effect of cationic and anionic ion sizes on the charge storage capability of graphene nanosheets is investigated. the electrochemical properties of the produced electrode are studied using cyclic voltammetry (cv) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (eis) techniques in 3m nacl, naoh, and koh electrolytes. scanning electron microscopy (sem) is used to characterize the mi...

studies investigating fertility decline in developing countries often adopt measures of determinants of fertility behavior developed based on observations from developed countries, without adapting them to the realities of the study setting. as a result, their findings are usually invalid, anomalous or statistically non-significant. this commentary draws on the research article by moeeni and co...

background: muscle fatigue is an important issue in neuromuscular rehabilitation. better control of this phenomenon would result in better prevention of its consequent physiological damages. objective: to provide a mathematical representation of muscle fatigue as a function of time. methods: we conducted this study by combining the emg-based estimation methods of muscle activation with the avai...

background: the purpose of the present study was to examine the reliability of scapular kinematic measurements using motion analysis system in subjects with and without general hypermobility syndrome. methods: a methodological study was designed to assess the reliability of scapular movement measurement in two groups of females with and without general hypermobility syndrome. upward rotation, s...

an important issue in power generation and petrochemical industries is the monitoring of pipe wall thickness and corrosion/erosion rate. the pipes are usually subject to erosive and/or corrosive environments and any failure could be catastrophic. while periodic manual ultrasonic thickness measurement is the common practice in many industries, in certain cases, where higher accuracies are requir...

we investigated the issue of noise pollution in the bidboland gas refineryby noise measurement and surveys. the bidboland gas refinery has several process units.the sound pressure levels were measured at several places, such as units of 200, 300,400, 500, boiler, powerhouse area, cooling towers pumps, and maintenance area, and thecorresponding noise maps were produced by using sound plan softwa...
