data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...

Metamorphic area, which is a subject of this study, is located in S-Qorveh (Zarineh region), northwest of the Sanadaj-Sirjan zone. According to the recent dating, the S-Qorveh plutonic body consists of a complex of granitoids, granodiorites, quartz monzonites, and gabbros, have intruded into the host metamorphic rocks, about 149-152 Ma and have generated contact metamorphism. Intrusions of vari...

learning-oriented assessment seeks to emphasise that a fundamental purpose of assessment should be to promote learning. it mirrors formative assessment and assessment for learning processes. it can be defined as actions undertaken by teachers and / or students, which provide feedback for the improvement of teaching and learning. it also contrasts with equally important measurement-focused appro...

The study area is located about 220 km southwest of Mashhad and 80 km south of Neyshabur, at 54° 42' 15" to 54° 43' 40" longitude. Initially, remote sensing is carried out based on the SAM method and it denotes propylitic, carbonitization, silicification and argillic alterations. This area comprises of outcrops of Paleocen-Eocene volcanics. Golcheshmeh area also shows copper mineralization at s...

The Aligoudarz granitoid occurs in the central part of the Sanandaj-Sirjan Zone, western Iran. It comprises three distinct facies mainly of tonalite, granodiorite and granite composition. Magmatic microgranular enclaves (ME) extensively occur in granodiorite. Field, textural, whole rock and mineral chemistry data of the ME and the host rocks does not support magma mixing as the ME-forming mecha...

it is definitely necessary to understand the concept and behavior of causation of life insurance policies and its determinants for insurance managers, regulators, and customers. for insurance managers, the profitability and liquidity of insurers can be increasingly influenced by the number of causation through costs, adverse selection, and cash surrender values. therefore, causation is a materi...

The Astaneh granitoid massif is located about 40 km to Arak city, central Iran, is a part of Sanandaj-Sirjan structural Zone. These intrusive rocks which are mainly composed of grnodioritic rocks, widely affected under hydrothermal alteration. The alteration zones, on the basis of field studies and mineralogy as well as the study of the REE behavior, are investigated in this paper. Eight altera...

Kaj-Rostam Abad, Dashtak and Do Ab salt domes are located around Ardal and Farsoun village. This area is situated in High Zagros range (Chaharmahal and Bakhtiary Province). The study area is composed of Lower Cambrian volcano sedimentary complex including basalt, basaltic andesite, andesite, trachyte, pyroclastics, evaporite rocks and Precambrian sedimentary units. According to the mineralogica...
