introduction: cleaner productions in textile industry is achieved by reducing water and chemicals’ consumption, saving energy, reducing production of air pollution and solid wastes, reducing toxicity and noise pollution through many solutions. the purpose of the present research was to apply strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats (swot) and quality systems planning matrix (qspm) techniqu...

Factor analysis, a multivariate correlation technique, has been used to provide insight into the underlying structure of metabolic syndrome, which is characterized by physiological complexity and strong statistical intercorrelation among its key variables. The majority of previous factor analyses, however, have used only surrogate measures of insulin sensitivity. In addition, few have included ...

Literatures revealed that the cognitive and affective components are factors affecting problem solving. In this article we identified considered by students in learning mathematical Using a descriptive phenomenological research explored lived experiences of forty-five (45) student’s solving mathematics problem. Following Colaizzi method for data analysis, four themes emerged: emotions self- e...

Thirty-two one-month-old Wistar albino rats were divided randomly into four equal groups of eight (female:male = 3:1). To assess damage to DNA in their thyroid gland cells, the first group (1) of rats served as the untreated control, the second group (2) was administered a high concentration of fluoride (HiF, 100 mg NaF/ L [45 mg F–/L] in their drinking water), the third group (3) was placed on...

Language impairment (LI) is one of the most common types of special educational needs (SENs), not only as a child’s primary need but also as a secondary domain associated with other types of SENs. LI is a risk factor for children’s later development, being associated with enhanced behavioral, emotional, and social difficulties, in particular peer problems and emotional difficulties; literacy di...

Genetic variation among isolates of Escherichia coli O111 obtained mostly from patients with diarrhea in Brazil was assessed by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis to characterize chromosomal genotypes and by gene probes and adherence assays to characterize virulence properties. Among the 152 isolates, we resolved 16 distinct electrophoretic types (ETs), which differed on average at 40% of the en...

Tin–lithium (Sn–Li) has been identified as a candidate liquid metal coolant for fusion power reactors. Sn–Li coolants offer a number of advantages compared with pure lithium. The vapor pressure of Sn–25Li (0.25 Li mol fraction) is a factor of 1000 lower than that of pure Li, which allows an increase in coolant temperatures by as much as 450 K. Experimental data of the stability of ceramic mater...

To improve teachers’ productivity, factors involved need to be identified and strengthened. To this end a conceptual model was initially constructed and then modified based on the feedback given by 12 experts. The final model consisted of three dimensions or topics, four sub topics, 22 concepts, or constituents, and 79 indices. The input dimension included subtopics of cognitive and behavioral ...
