Abstract: Conservation is a covenant which can assure settling the principal amounts of loans and the accrued interests and realizing long-term return and applicability of managers’ programs, through proper and conservative measurement of the results of enterprises’ activities. In the present research we study the effect of accounting conservation on return on investment (return on assets and return on owners’ equity) of the companies admitted in Stock Exchange. For the purpose of this research, the financial data of 87 companies from 2004 through 2009 were gathered, and research hypotheses were tested using correlation coefficient analysis and regression model. The results of research indicate a reverse significant relationship between return on assets and return on owners’ equity (as two indices‌ of return on investment) and accounting conservation. It should be noted that this relationship is not linear.

Abstract: The management of on-street park is one of main parameters in traffic management. The lack of concentrated parking results in increased on-street parking and disturbance in traffic system. Approximation of traffic variants in precise analysis of movement management trend has an important role. The behavioral pattern of on-street park have direct relation with land use around high ways as well as quantity and quality of traffic variants such as: speed, delay time, flow rate and volume to capacity rate which are effective in movement analysis. The recognition of relational model between dependent and independent variables as well as knowledge of all effective conditions in this model and it's application in analysis of movement management are of these research aims.

Abstract: Conservation needs far exceed the available resources, so scarce resources must be used cost-effectively. Although many conservation priory-setting frameworks used by NGO's or public agencies explicitly claim to emphasize efficiency or wise investment, none actually incorporates costs in a formal return-on-investment (ROI) framework. In this research we aim to stud y the impact of conservation on return on assets and return on owners’ equity.

Abstract: The urban street network is an important factor influencing the formation and development of cities and allocation of land uses. In addition, in order to improve the level of services and performance of such networks, strategies such as increasing the capacity of streets, modifying hierarchies and network development have been developed and implemented. Hence, fortification of the main urban corridors, as a means of enhancing traffic indicators under study, was studied and Tabriz city was chosen as the city for implementing the developed model. The geometry of the street network of Tabriz city, which is influenced by geographical conditions, and the distribution of in-town trips over this city confirm that the North-South corridor, which can provide ease of access to the area, requires to be reinforced. Position of the streets contained in the proposed corridor in the concentrated central area, especially in the bazaar region, was taken care of and two Northern-Southern routes were defined based on the location of the existing routes. Traffic analyses were also performed using the equilibrium allocation method. Scenarios were written for either implementing the proposed plan or keeping the current condition in the plan horizon year. The results were also compared for indicators such as level of service, trip time and air pollutants.

Abstract: Concrete is one of the man-made materials that uses more than any materials in the structures. These days with increasing the use of concrete, the best way for replacement of natural aggregates is the use of urban and industrial wastes in concrete products. The reuse of this materials will be able to decrease the exploitation of natural mines and its one of the best way to reducing the end cost of projects. In this study the Incinerator Ash is uses as replacement of natural fine aggregates in concrete. These industrial aggregates substitution in the various percentages of natural sand and the mechanical and physical properties of concrete samples were determined. The unite weight of new samples were less than ordinary concrete, but the water absorption of this kind of concrete per different percentage of ash replacement has variable behavior. The compressive strength of new concrete was lower than ordinary one and to achieve the workability of natural specimen, extra water needs to be considered.

Abstract: People participation in social life has brought about the expansion and continuation of human life and is the harvest of dynamic process in which a person recognizes their true desires and those of society as final and stable product of development. Political participation is an element of political culture and the extent of political development is measured through it which leads to low and high development. Political participation simply is defined as people participation in decision making process which determines their destiny and election and voting are some main forms of this participation. Since political participation in each society is contingent upon society’s norms, values, accepted frameworks and election is its prominent manifestation, this article investigates and compares political participation details in two villages, one in Kermanshah and one in Tehran. The aim is to make a comparison between the two villages over their political participation as well as identifies factors influencing this participation at each village. The research method is descriptive-analytical. To gather data, a questionnaire and in-depth interviews were applied. Over 1/3 of the statistical population was sampled randomly. Excel and GIS were used for data analysis. Findings indicate villages’ political participation degree in areas such as elections increases from national to regional, and to local levels. We found that political participation is considered a crucial duty and that rural people view election participation as a factor influencing nationwide decision making process (in political, economic, and social areas) and value political participation.

Abstract: A major issue in Coastal Engineering is analyzing the effect of coastal structures on shoreline and beach morphology. Careful examination of these effects, coastal structures can be used significantly in order to improve protection of beaches. One of the structures that have been highly considered today is submerged breakwater. This structure has many advantages over other structures. The most important of them is coast protection without creating visual effects as it does not cause a visual barrier. This factor is particularly important for tourist beaches. In this study, the effect of wave angle to the breakwater on the shoreline changes is reviewed. To do so, first, the results of the laboratory model are examined. Then the numerical model is used to model wave and its effects on the coast. In all procedures, numerical modeling is performed by software package.

Abstract: In this paper, we try to understand the concept of trustee in Iranian law, and offer an appropriate category to better understand his/her liabilities. Generally, whoever owns the property of someone else, is responsible for any damage or defects to the property, even because of force major conditions. However, the trustee, although being dominated on property of someone else, is not responsible for any damage or defects to the property he/she is trustee for. This lack of responsibility is based on several reasons, and would be eliminated in certain conditions. In Iranian and Islamic law, this lack of responsibility is removed through two ways. In this article we want to answer the question that what is the reason for lack of responsibility of trustee, and what is the foundation of civil liabilities of trustee.

Abstract: Information and communication technology has had considerable effects on lifestyle such as work performance method. One of these effects is performance of some activities without geographical limitations and far from workplace (teleworking). In this work method, teleworking person performs task with help of network facilities in a place other than his workplace and using computer and transfers his work result to the desired place using information and communication technology. This work method has many advantages and disadvantages which can affect its execution and continuation in organizations. Goal of this paper is to study infrastructures, advantages and disadvantages of teleworking in governmental organizations. For this purpose, analytical – descriptive method has been used. The obtained results indicate that teleworking have many advantages for teleworking people and organizations despite disadvantages and problems which this work method has such as the absence of teleworking skills, shortage of necessary experience among the personnel, resistance against change of organizational culture, the absence of supportive policies and attention of government to teleworking, the absence of suitable laws, no attention to information technology progress in the country and development of infrastructures, lack of proper security for exchange of work information and documents, the presence of conservative attitude and formal attitude toward work, shortage of information technology skills and concern with some social probable problems.

Abstract: In today's competitive world, organizations are constantly seeking new ways to maximize the performance of their employees are working. Despite the increasing use of information technology, there are still gaps in the organization's performance. There are now firmly believed that the performance of their employees largely beyond the requirements defined roles depends. In recent years the development of new technologies and global economic growth will lead to increased competition and rapid changes in the nature of work organizations. As a result of these changes and prepare for future changes substantially increasing pressure on employees to take responsibility for career planning, training, salary and benefits will be logged. Also enterprises to compete on the global stage, satisfy the needs and expectations of customers and adapt to the changing nature of jobs, tend to choose employees who seek to go beyond their duty to act in the role specified in the job description. One reason is that successful organizations are that they have staff who are working beyond their official duties. Institutional research effort that is beyond the employee's duties are defined, as it "organizational citizenship behavior» (OCB) to learn. Employee’s behaviors that go beyond the requirements for the organization's benefit and, as an inevitable necessity for the effective functioning of the organization is recognized that it can be interpreted as organizational citizenships behavior (Moghimi, 1390, 111). Ride this study the impact of organizational citizenship behavior on organizational learning quality management and organizational performance to evaluate. Thus, a conceptual model to evaluate the impact of these factors on the behavior of citizens in the municipality of Qods city questionnaire assessed and tested. The research method used in this research is descriptive and co relational - Structural equation modeling was. Finally, to improve the effectiveness factors citizenship behaviors, is proposed.

Abstract: It has been found that expression of P53, cyclin D1 and Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in spindle cell soft tissue tumors (SCSTTs) are correlated with histological grade and assessment of tumor aggressiveness. The aim of this study was to evaluate the immunohistochemical expression of p53, cyclin D1 and Epidermal Growth Factor Receptors (EGFR) in some spindle cell soft tissue tumors and their association with histological grade of these tumors in an attempt to predict the biologic behavior of these tumors.This work included 33cases previously diagnosed spindle cell soft tissue tumors (16 males (48.48%) and 17 females (51.52 %) and 3 control cases. Patients᾿ age ranged from 20 to 60 years. This work included 3 groups of SCSTTs; 1st. group (4 cases) (12.12%) with benign tumors; one case of neurofibroma (3.03), one case of deep benign fibrous histiocytoma (3.03), one case of angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma (3.03), and one case of Schwannoma (3.03). 2nd. Group (6 cases) (18.18%) with intermediate grade malignant SCSTTs among them 4 cases of dermato-fibrosarcoma protuberans (12.2%) and 2 cases of desmoid fibromatosis (6.06%).3rd. group: (23 cases) (69.6%), with malignant SCSTTs this group composed of 9 cases of synovial sarcoma (27.27%), 4 cases of leiomyosarcoma (12.1%), 3 cases of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (9.09%), and 7 cases of malignant fibrous histiocytoma (21.2%). Four sections were prepared from each specimen and stained with hematoxyllin & eosin, for routine microscopic examination, as well as, immunostaining for P53, Cyclin D1 and Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). immunoreactivity were calculated. A significant difference in immunoreactivity among various histologic patterns of benign, intermediate grade malignant and malignant SCSTTs was detected. Statistical analysis showed that this increase is not significant except in comparing the behavior of soft tissue tumors. This study indicated that the degree of positivity to P53, Cyclin D1 and Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) may play a great role in detection of behavior and prognosis of different types of spindle cell soft tissue tumors and can differentiate between benign, intermediate grade malignant and malignant spindle soft tissue tumors. However, further studies on larger scales are recommended.

Abstract : This paper is a partial account of the results from a 2010 research focusing on the application of the Cala Couta lifecycle model in measuring the satisfaction of the passengers with services provided by Iran Air Services, its influencing factors, and a ranking of the said factors. The statistical population consisted of the passengers using domestic or international flights more than twice in two years. Of these, 385 persons were chosen, and the data were gathered by Cala Couta model survey using field methods based on the Likert range .The results indicate a satisfaction above average in the three stages of customer attraction, promotion, and retention. There was also an account of above-average satisfaction with sales, airport services, and flight services. The factors influencing the passengers’ satisfaction were ranked according to their priority as follows: (1) company’s name and reputation; (2) satisfaction with services offered to the frequent flier passengers; (3) satisfaction with the quality of the services; (4) satisfaction with prices (tickets, accompanied baggage, special services); (5) satisfaction with the services offered after a ticket is sold; (6) satisfaction with the flexibility demonstrated by the company; (7) satisfaction with the safety of flights.

Abstract: The aim of the present study is to compare two estrus synchronization by CIDR and sponge on ewes along with PMSG various amounts in reproduction season. 56 Baloochi breed ewes (45.8 ± 1.3 kg of BW) were divided into two experimental groups. In first experiment, 28 heads of ewes were divided into four groups (n=7/in each group). Estrus synchronization ewes group received CIDR for 14 days. During CIDR exit, four groups received 1 milliliter normal saline serum, 150ml, 300ml, and 450ml international PMSG unit for the first, second, third and fourth group by injection respectively. In the second experiment sponge was used instead of CIDR. 40 hours after injection of PMSG, 6 rams entered the flock. The observed results in the first and second experiment showed that the rates of multiparous, multiple birth and lambing in those groups which received 450 unit PMSG were higher than the other groups (p<0.05). There was not any significant difference between both groups in estrus synchronization (p<0.05). These results suggest that 450 IU PMSG was more effective in increasing Multi birth rate in the Baloochi ewes in breeding season.

Abstract: The objective of this study was to determine the best time for artificial insemination in Taleshi ewes. One hundred and fifty ewes were randomly allocated to three groups (n=50/group). Estrus was synchronized with intravaginal insertion of Controlled Internal Drug Release (CIDR) for 14 days. At the time of CIDR removal, PMSG (300IU) was injected to all of ewes. The first (AI28), second (AI40) and third (AI52) groups were inseminated (cervically) 28, 40 and 52 hours after CIDR removal, respectively. All of ewes showed estrus signs about 24 hours after CIDR withdrawal. The results of insemination efficiency and reproduction performance indicated that in prolificacy and twin did not statistically change between the treatment groups. Insemination efficiency, lambing rate and fertility were significant difference among the groups (P<0.05). Insemination efficiency in AI40 and AI52 was 50% and 38% respectively, that was significantly different (P<0.05) with AI28 (18%) treatment. lambing rate in AI40 and AI52 was 58% and 38% respectively, that was statistically difference (P<0.05) with AI28 treatment. The results of this research indicated that the best time for Taleshi ewes insemination was between 40-52 hours after CIDR removal.

ABSTRACT: Objective: The purpose of this In vitro study was to investigate the effects of diode laser de-bonding on the shear bond strength and adhesive remnant index of pre-coated ceramic brackets bonded to extracted human premolars. Materials and Methods: Eighty freshly extracted upper premolars were used. The teeth were divided into two groups according to the pre-coated ceramic brackets applied (APC II and APC plus). Each group was subdivided into two subgroups according to the method of de-bonding, either by laser diode (study groups) or without laser application (control groups) (N=20). The shear bond test was performed after the laser pulse had been applied, and the adhesive remnant index (ARI) scores were assigned to each specimen. Random samples from each group were selected for SEM observation. Statistical analysis was performed via a one-way ANOVA analysis and Chi-square test. Results: Significantly (p ˂ 0.001) lower shear bond strengths were found in the laser groups compared with the control groups. Similarly, the adhesive remnant index scores were significantly different (p ˂ 0.001); the laser group had nearly twice as much adhesive, with ARI scores of 2 or 3. Conclusion: The application of the diode laser is effective in de-bonding pre-coated ceramic brackets.

Abstract: Power distribution process from the central government to local governments results in the distribution of economic power, as well. This in turn leads to the reduction of the central government’s economic dominance over the local states. This approach realizes the local governments’ decisions regarding the selection of the type of economic products and the way to produce and distribute them (with respect to natural and human powers). And, this makes the key role of people in economic and survival issues clearer and ends in economic independence and production increase. Production increase provides the opportunity for trade growth at local, regional, and national levels and leads to economic dynamicity, growth, and development. Such economic policies can lead to the objectives like increasing people welfare, the economic growth of local governments, and finally economic growth of central government. This paper is aimed to examine decentralization process and power distribution from the central government to the local ones in form of enhancing its economic efficiency. Research method is of descriptive-analytical type and library references were used in parallel with the theoretical principles of economics and political geography. This study tries to present a new approach for the role of decentralization in enhancing economic power. Results of the study indicate that decentralization and power distribution from the central government to the local ones first leads to the increase of economic power of the local government and finally the central government’s.
