the aim of this study was to identify the recurring themesand to evaluate methodological components of 204 marketing theses(1384-1389) in four selected universities including: shahid beheshtiuniversity (sbu), tehran university (tu), allameh tabatabaiuniversity (atu) and tarbiat modares university (tmu). contentanalysis showed that the most favored subjects in marketing theses areconsumer behavi...

higher education system, as an investment in human resources, plays a key role in training people. it also plays a determinant role in different political, social, economic and cultural aspects of the society. therefore, ensuring the quality of performance in higher education to prevent the waste of human and financial resources along with possessing the ability to compete in the future, wherei...

High performance VLSI designs require strict control over clock skew since skew directly impacts the cycle time calculation. For nano-meter CMOS designs, clock-skew and signal integrity are tremendously affected by process and temperature variations. A successful high performance VLSI design should not only aim to minimize the clock skew, but also control it while the chip is running. The issue...

Rectal temperature (Tre) is often used to adjust measurements of blood gases, but these adjusted measurements may not approximate temperatures during intense exercise at main sites of gas exchange: muscle and lung. To evaluate differences in blood gases between sites, temperatures (T) were measured with thermocouples in the rectum (re), in mixed venous blood (v), in gluteal muscle (mu), and on ...

To generate purposely defects that can increase the catalytic activity, cobalt-based metal–organic framework (MOF) TMU-10 has been subjected to thermal treatment under an air atmosphere at temperatures between 100 and 700 °C. This process causes partial ligand removal, generating structural additional hierarchical porosity in a convenient way. The resulting materials, denoted as quasi-MOFs, wer...

The catalytic activity of MOFs derives in a large extent from defects. To generate these defects, cobalt-based metal–organic framework TMU-10, [Co6(oba)5(OH)2(H2O)2(DMF)4]n·2DMF has been subjected the present study to controlled thermal treatment under air at different temperatures ranging 100 700 °C. This produces removal ligands, generation structural and additional porosity an that depends o...

To assess whether the Lowry-tetramethylurea method for measuring apolipoprotein B-100 (apo-B) in very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) could be replaced by direct assay of VLDL apo-B using a highly practicable immunological method. Seventy five fasting blood samples were collected from patients attending the lipid clinic at this hospital. Plasma was separated immediately and VLDL isolated by prep...

Human peripheral blood lymphocytes are stained with the metachromatic dye acridine orange and the fluorescence of individual cells is measured by flow cytometry. The relative content of stainable RNA per cell is estimated by comparison with RNase-treated cells. Non-T and T lymphocytes have different mean quantities of RNA per cell, and these classes exhibit different distributions of RNA conten...

A large variety of non-destructive assay (NDA) systems have been developed for the analysis of waste containers by passive gamma-ray spectroscopy. Examples of such systems include Segmented Gamma Scanners (SGS), Q–style drum counters, Large Box Counters, and far-field measurement systems. The calibration of these systems typically involves the purchase and construction of “calibration” containe...
