Abstract: In this study, net income is decomposed into current operating accruals, non-current operating accruals and cash items. The distributed earnings also involve the funds paid to two groups, including the shareholders and the creditors. Using filtering technique, 120 listed firms on the Tehran Stock Exchange over the years from 2007 to 2012 have been selected as the sample. To analyze the data, univariate and multivariate regression based on panel data and seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) have been used. The findings reveal that the net income and the distributed earnings significantly impact the future profitability. Furthermore, it was found that the components of the net income are directly associated with the future profitability. The findings also confirm the higher persistency of the distributed income in comparison with the aggregated net income in relation to the cash paid to the shareholders.

Abstract: Software systems have been developed in various centres extensively. They play important role and basic in any organization. If these systems became out of service can lead to irrecoverable damage to the organization. In order to keep these systems running continuously. They need to repair, recover and control themselves without human intervention, until any abnormal condition happens they will be able to keep system available with making right decision. For these reasons to be felt requirement to self-adaptive capability in systems. Researchers proposed different designs and trends for achieve to better and more efficient to self-adaptive goals. We are going to study a number of them in this paper.

Abstract: Modern earth resource satellites provide huge amounts of digital imagery at different resolutions. These types of data are considered to be one of the most significant sources of data for mineral exploration. Image processing techniques were applied to the exposed rocks around the Al-Aqiq area of the Asir terrane in the southern part of the Arabian Shield. The area under study has two sub-parallel N-S trending metamorphic belts. The first belt is located southeast of Al-Aqiq, where the Al-Hajar Gold Mine is situated. It is essentially composed of metavolcanics and metasedimentary rocks, and it is emplaced by different plutonic intrusions of primarily diorite, syenite and porphyry granite. The second belt is located northwest of Al-Aqiq, and it is composed of metavolcanics and metasedimentary rocks and is emplaced by granite bodies. The current study aims to detect the alteration zones around the Al-Hajar gold prospect. Digital satellite imageries, including Landsat ETM+ Multispectral and panchromatic (30 and 15 m resolution) and SPOT-5 Multispectral and panchromatic (10 and 5 m resolution), are used to distinguish the alteration zones. Areas with similar spectral signatures to the prospect area in the nearby metamorphic belt are considered target areas for field verification. The relationships between the alteration zones, the mineral deposits and the structural elements are used to visualize the ore-bearing alteration zones in the subsurface. Structurally, the prospect area is highly sheared and shows different types of alterations. The alterations that are associated with shear zones are promising targets for mineral exploration. The target area displays dextral-ductile shearing top-to-the-north and a deformed mineralized quartz vein-system in the metasedimentary units. The metamorphic rocks are overprinted by an alternating isoclinal series of subvertical axial plane anticline and syncline folds. Local thrust planes and imbrications are detected along the contacts between the plutonic intrusions and the metamorphic units. The host rocks of mineralization are green-schist facies metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks of pre-Cambrian age. Two types of mineralization are determined. The first are the porphyry-type ore deposits around the Al-Hajar open-pit gold mine, and the second are vein-type ore deposits in the target area. Both of the two areas are promising for subsurface mining.

Abstract: 4D (time-lapse) seismic has become a powerful technology for oil companies to manage their reservoirs. Time-lapse seismic has been proven to be very effective for monitoring not only gas production but also injection process. The process of gas production causes variations in reservoir parameters. The aim of this feasibility study is to give a better imaging about the change in seismic parameters due to gas production by using well logs and core data. In this paper, We determining the petrophysical parameters for sienna reservoirs rocks using wireline logs over the reservoir interval. The products of petrophysical parameters used as in-situ parameter in the rock physics model. The rock physics modeling can explain variations in reservoir parameters using the changes in seismic properties, several theories link seismic properties of reservoir rock to pore spaces, pore fluids, effective pressure and other reservoir parameters. It is primarily based on core measurements and well logs. The fluid substitution model used to detect the change of the water saturation in the seismic parameters using Gassmann’s equation. The friable sand model used to detect the change of the pore pressure in the seismic parameters using the Hertz-Mindlin and lower Hashin-Shtrikamn equation.

Abstract: Effective provision of economic and social services is fundamental to increasing productivity, reducing poverty and leading to rural development. However, it is a common phenomenon that services fail to reach the poor in access, quality and quantity. This paper addresses the question of how to reach the poor in service provision by focusing on policies for development, cooperatives and (Community Based Organizations) CBOs, and informal institutions as compensating factors within the development process of pro-poor service provision. With case examples from India, Uganda and Guatemala, results proof that, 1) pro-poor policies enhance provision of services and can be more successful if combined with interventions of self-help collective actions. 2) Cooperatives and CBOs need to design informal institutions that make a civil society work. 3) Informal institutions need an organized civil society to implement rules according to the 5 criteria identified by Ostrom (1990).

Abstract: Model has been derived for assessment and computational analysis of some selected staple crops (maize, rice, beans, yam, and cassava) in Nigeria. Data collected were regressed without data corrected for the mean so that all parameters including the intercept could be obtained from the matrix, so that the variance and co-variances could be easily deduced. The significance of the models and estimated parameters were also analysed using the t-test, Durbin Watson test, Farrar-Glanber test, and Spearman’s Rank correlation coefficient. The results of the analysis shows that the general model:

 

 

is found to predict the total output of the selected crops. The model gave rise to a coefficient of determination of 0.986. The results also show that autocorrelation and multicollinearity exists among the explanatory variables, however the variance of the disturbance error term for each of the explanatory variable have no heteroscedasticity.

Abstract: Despite going global, LEED certification is essentially a US tailored approach to encourage Green Building businesses and practices. The assumptions of incentive packages and tax breaks, points rewarded for the use of certain types of recycling, weights and points – all these have many local biases for US companies and practices. Before adoption in another country, these assumptions and biases have to be clearly spelled out and checked. In fact, a Green Building certification has to be home-grown to suit economical, cultural and technological conditions. This paper shows how different countries can adopt a customized Green Building Evaluation Code and still be recognized, the case study is Egypt Green Pyramid ranking system. The research aims to evaluate the adoption of the green building systems in Egypt and propose the suitable score and elements to the Egyptian society. Some localized issues for example are the increased encroachment on agricultural land, the abundant desert land, energy crisis and the reduced share of Nile water. The research briefly reviews the definition and the evolution of principles of green architecture. By making a comparison between global green building rating systems, the localization is highlighted. These chosen global systems are the BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environment Assessment Method), LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), Egypt Green Pyramid and CASBEE (Comprehensive Assessment System for Built Environment Efficiency).

Abstract: Rodent damage a variety of agricultural crops throughout most regions of the world, in developing countries where the economy depends on agriculture, rodent infestation can pose a serious threat of not only reduced income but also widespread dangerous diseases. Damage range from negligible destruction of growing plants to total crops loss. Thus, great efforts should be done to develop rodent control programs. Control methods must not fulfill the requirement of protecting crops, but also in a safe efficient and economic manner. However, in this review three methods of rodent curative applied control were considered these methods are mechanical control, biological control and chemical control. The main objective of this review was to develop an effective strategy for implementation of rodent management programs in cultivated and newly reclaimed agro ecosystems in Egypt.
