The performance of human resources is affected by various factors such as mental and physical fatigue, skill, and available time in the production systems. Generally, these mentioned factors have effects on human reliability and consequently change the reliability of production systems. Fatigue is a stochastic factor that changes according to other factors such as environmental conditions, work...

in the initial models of economic growth, economic factors entered in to models but in the following models, non-economic factors entered in to models. many broad studies were done on this subject by the economists, and already considerable results were obtained. subjects such as corruption in the administrative bodies were new variables entering the literature of economic growth at that stage....

Many of the qualities that characterize geographic regions are vague and granular in their nature. In many quality-based classification and delineation systems for geographic regions, therefore, there is a trade-off between the possible precision of the quality-based delineation and the scientific sophistication of the quality-based classification of geographic regions. This poses a dilemma for...

Environmental genomics can describe all forms of organisms--cellular and viral--present in a community. The analysis of such eco-systems biology data relies heavily on reference databases, e.g., taxonomy or gene function databases. Reference databases of symbiosis sensu lato, although essential for the analysis of organism interaction networks, are lacking. By mining existing databases and lite...

The paper combines two new original concepts about eco-energetic systems. The first one is related to the M.E.N. (Mega-Eco-Nega-Watt) paradigm, which is based on three different but complementary ecological economic spaces: MEGAWATT, as needed energy, ECOWATT, as ecological energy, and NEGAWATT, as preserved energy, even the renewable energies and technologies, in the context of electrical ener...

Customer feedback is used to understand customer requirements. Early design phases require the consideration of items including manufacturing, the environment, and sustainability management. Therefore, it is crucial that eco-efficiency is taken into account in the early design phases. Traditionally, eco-efficiency is considered only in terms of eco-design issues, not customer requirements based...

A repeat sequence 682 base pairs (bp) long produced by cleavage of human DNA with Xba I restriction enzyme is composed of four tandemly arranged subunits with lengths of 171, 170, 171, and 170 bp each. The sequence organization of the 682 bp Xba I repeat bears a striking resemblance to other complex satellite DNAs of primates, including the Eco RI human alpha satellite family which also occurs ...

while the growth of mis investment and its influence is making mis evaluation ever more indispensable, little attention has been paid to assessing and communicating system effectiveness. this paper attempts to empirically assess the effectiveness of integrated human resource information system in iranian oil industry. as suggested by recent research, the widely accepted is success model is ba...
