• Issue 15 15 In their seminal paper, Hill and Westbrook2 from London Business School cited that seasoned strategy professionals displayed similar deficiencies when performing a SWOT analysis — “long lists (over 40 factors on average), general (often meaningless) descriptions, a failure to prioritize and no attempt to verify any points.” Most worrying was the universal finding that noone subseq...

iran, with a long history of apricot cultivation is one of the most important apricot producers in the world. centuries of sexual reproduction via seed, have developed many divergent variations of apricots in iran. however, unfortunately there is no comprehensive report available concerning its diversity and genetic make-up. in this study, 39 iranian apricot cultivars as well as accessions, nat...

In the paper we explore the morphology of the Czech law texts including Constitution, acts, public notices and court judgements which form a huge textual database. As many texts from small domains, the used language is partially restricted and in relevant aspects also different from general Czech. The paper presents first results of the morphological analysis of Czech law texts and their conver...

We present a computational system for morphological analysis and annotation of the Qur’an, for research and teaching purposes. The system facilitates a variety of queries on the Qur’anic text that make reference not only to the words but also to their linguistic attributes. The core of the system is a set of finite-state based rules which describe the morpho-phonological and morpho-syntactic ph...

NMDA receptor subunit changes have an important implication in synaptic development, learning, memory, and neuronal disorders. Previous studies have suggested that two membrane-associated guanylate kinase (MAGUK) family scaffolding proteins, SAP102 and PSD-95, are involved in the switch from predominance of NMDA receptors rich in NR2B subunits to that of NMDA receptors rich in NR2A subunits. No...

A multivariate statistical analysis was performed on morphological characters of sixty-one populations of Avena eriantha Dur. A. clauda Dur., A. barbata Pott ex Link., A. wiestii Steud., A. fatua L., A. sterilis ssp. ludoviciana L. and A. sativa L. Factor analysis revealed that intraspecific morphological variations are due to quantitative characters. Interspecific as well as intersectional rel...

this study is devoted to the morphological, chemical and physical characterization of raw material of the fruit of luffa cylindrica. by microscopic analysis, it can be observed that the fruit is composed of an assembly of dependent cords, where four parts are differentiated: external, internal wall, core and bond. each cord consists of hollow and flexible cylindrical fibers.the external part is...

the effects of different sources of carbon, nitrogen and some of trace elements on cultivation of bacillus thuringiensis h14 were studied. glucose, glycerol, sodium acetate, (nh4)2so4, corn steep liquor, yeast extract, hydrolyzed casein, ca2+, mg2+ and mn2+ were the main parameters evaluated by plackett-burman statistical method. all elements have insignificant effect on germination while spore...
