with entrance spirituality and god to management and organization field, as 21st century challenge, organization’s managers and leaders especially educational institutions must confront with new phenomena. spiritual leader’s role to incite and encourage human resource with use of spiritual vision and establishment of cultural context based on human values, to foster empowered, high productivity...

In 2008-09, the mining sales value in Western Australia (WA) was AUD71.3 billion [1]. The resource industry continues to generate significant infrastructure investment and supply expansion developments in remote and arid regions of the state. The sector is also a major driver of liquid fuel demand growth, and currently represents approximately 40% of total transport fuel use, and around 60% (mo...

The growth of forests can be described as a function of the supply of resources, the proportion of these resources captured by trees, and the efficiency with which trees use these resources to fix carbon dioxide. This function can be modified to explain wood production by subtracting the allocation of carbon (C) to respiration and other tissues. At the scale of leaves and seconds, rates of net ...

product-form queueing networks are considered which allow for conceptual job initiations and terminations (such as a central server model). It is shown that the product-form expression can be parameterized with either mean job resource usages, total server busy times, or overall server utilizations. Measurement and computational efficiencies resulting from these alternative parameterizations ar...

In this paper we applied the parallel evolutionary strategy HGSNash to solving the decision making problem for water resource systems with external disagreement of interests. This problem is usually modelled as a non-cooperative strategic game. We define two different sets of water purifying cost functions for the water users and perform a simple experimental analysis. The efficiencies of HGSNa...

In this paper, we propose a BlueGreen methodology to rethinking and redesigning network protocols, so as to satisfy the criteria of being service and energy efficiencies. The next generation networks (NGNs) are required to satisfy both extremely high levels of service resilience by the overprovision of redundant network resources (i.e., Blue criteria), and also minimising consumption of energy ...

Using data from a national survey of farm households in the United States, this paper examines the effects of farm households’ decisions to participate in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) and to work off the farm on the technical efficiency of farm household production. After controlling for the self selection bias in estimating the multiple output-oriented distance functions, results sho...

Because solar energy is available in large excess relative to current rates of energy consumption, effective conversion of this renewable yet intermittent resource into a transportable and dispatchable chemical fuel may ensure the goal of a sustainable energy future. However, low conversion efficiencies, particularly with CO(2) reduction, as well as utilization of precious materials have limite...
