        1 - STUDY OF OIL SPILL ON THE SEA SURFACE IN THE PRESENCE OF THERMAL AND CONCENTRATION BUOYANCY EFFECTS
        Nirmala P Ratchagar S. V. Hemalatha
        Pollution occurs when the concentration of various chemical or biological constituents exceed a level implying negative impact on amenities, the eco-system, resources and human health. Oil spills are the serious environmental hazards which often exhibit long-term impact More
        Pollution occurs when the concentration of various chemical or biological constituents exceed a level implying negative impact on amenities, the eco-system, resources and human health. Oil spills are the serious environmental hazards which often exhibit long-term impacts. The main objective of response to an oil spill is to reduce its impact on nature and human health. This paper allows us to get a comprehensive idea of the oil spill impact in the presence of thermal and concentration buoyancy effects. The governing equations and their associated boundary conditions are first cast into dimensionless form and the resulting equations are then solved analytically using perturbation technique. The effect of various physical parameters such as Grashof number, Prandtl number, Schmidt number and chemical reaction parameter on the velocity, temperature and concentration profile as well as surface skin friction, heat and mass transfer coefficients are discussed in detail with the help of graphs.

        This paper analyzes a renewal input working vacations queue with change over times and Bernoulli schedulevacation interruption under (a,c,b) policy.The service and vacation times are exponentially distributed.The server begins service if there are at least c units in the queue and the service takes place in batches with a minimum of sizea and a maximum of size b (a<=c<= b). The change over periods follow if there are (c-1) customers (at vacation completion instant) or (a-1) customersat service completion instants. The steady state queue length distributions at arbitrary and pre-arrival epochs are obtained. Performance measures and optimal cost policy arepresented with numerical experiences.The genetic algorithm and quadratic fit search method are employed to search the optimal values of some important parameters of the system.

        4 - IDENTIFICATION AND PRIORITIZATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS AFFECTING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ORGANIZATIONAL STRATEGIES IN THE INSURANCE INDUSTRY (A CASE STUDY OF ASIA INSURANCE)
        Mahdiyeh Mirzajani Amir Ashkan Nasiripour
        A company or organization requires special unique strategies to achieve organizational goals which not only do bring about macro-and long-term goals, but also create competitive status for the organization. However, developing different strategies will not guarantee th More
        A company or organization requires special unique strategies to achieve organizational goals which not only do bring about macro-and long-term goals, but also create competitive status for the organization. However, developing different strategies will not guarantee the organization’s success, but the implementation of strategy is the most important step in the entire life of strategic management of the organization. The main objective of this study is to provide a classification of environmental barriers in effective implementation of strategies in Asia insurance company. In this research, experts of insurance industry were considered as statistical society, in which the number of managers, senior professionals and experts with more than 3 years of experience in Asia Central Insurance and its branches across Tehran was about 340 which comprised the statistical society of this research. Morgan table was applied for sampling and a number of 181 people were selected as samples to distribute the questionnaires. This study is descriptive-analytical and practical. Data from the questionnaire (the questionnaire study and design of a new questionnaire was prepared with the help of experts) and data analysis software for regression analysis was performed using SPSS 18; in which organization, competitive factors were identified as the most influential environmental factors in implementation of organizational strategies.

        5 - ON QUASILINEAR ELLIPTIC SYSTEMS INVOLVING MULTIPLE CRITICAL EXPONENTS
        Nemat Nyamoradi Mohsen Shekarbaigi

        In this paper, we consider the existence of a non-trivial weaksolution to a quasilinear elliptic system involving critical Hardyexponents. The main issue of the paper is to understand thebehavior of these Palais-Smale sequences. Indeed, the principaldifficulty here is that there is an asymptotic competition betweenthe energy functional carried by the critical nonlinearities. Thenby the variational method, we obtain the existence non-trivialweek solution for the system Manuscript profile

        6 - SOLVING INTEGRO-DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION BY USING B- SPLINE INTERPOLATION
        Majid Amirfakhrian Katayoon Shakibi
        In this paper a numerical technique based on the B-spline method is presented for the solution of Fredholm integro-differential equations. To illustrate the efficiency of the method some examples are introduced and the results are compared with the exact solution.

        8 - ON CONEIGENVALUES OF A COMPLEX SQUARE MATRIX
        Mojtaba Ghasemi Kamalvand
        In this paper, we show that a matrix A in Mn(C) that has n coneigenvectors, where coneigenvaluesassociated with them are distinct, is condiagonalizable. And also show that if allconeigenvalues of conjugate-normal matrix A be real, then it is symmetric.
