Techno-market is a mechanism that expedites the development operations of theology specially advanced technologies. Despite the importance of technology to the domestic industries, and recent financings for research and development of new technologies, informal evidence indicates an infelicitous technical cooperation among industries. Nevertheless, innumerous technologies have been developed in various departments as the enterprises need different technologies. Evidence indicates that the previous experiences of applying techno-market has not been much successful and economic exploitation of technology has not been materialized, either. So present research end eavors to specify effective factors on success or failure of techno-market and present solutions and patterns to develop techno-market functions such as increasing the profitability of enterprise technology exchanges, and helping departments, organizations, and domestic industries appoint these solutions.

Despite all of their desirable effects, the addition of nitrite to meat is the major cause of carcinogenic N-nitrosamines formation. In this study, the amount of residual nitrite and nitrate in meat products containing 61% to 80% meat were assessed. The samples were obtained at the fourth day of their production from Shiraz retails and analyzed using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). According to the results, the mean concentrations of residual nitrite and nitrate were estimated at 36.96 ± 7.38 and 85.81 ± 5.5 mg/kg in small-diameter (1.5-2 cm) sausages. Meanwhile, in large-diameter (5.5-8 cm) sausages the residues were estimated at 20.97 ± 3.28 and 124.85±5.3 mg/kg, respectively. In all analyzed samples, the residual nitrite level was found below the permitted level of 120 mg/kg which indicated the application of allowed concentrations of nitrite in such products. The mean values of residual nitrite and nitrate concentrations were statistically different (p<0.05) between small and large-diameter sausages. Although nitrate was not used in these products, detection of relatively high levels of nitrate could be originated from the ingredients of sausages such as meat, water, spices as well as vegetable or might be entered via the conversion of nitrite to nitrate during the primary stages of processing. Finally, it was concluded that HPLC is a rapid, sensitive and selective method and provides accurate results. Manuscript profile -

This study aimed to explore some of the most significant technological features of Iranian Motal cheese-derived Enterococcus isolates with probiotic characteristics. For this, first the growth rates of Enterococcus isolates at 25, 30, 37, and 43 °C were measured, and their ability for acidification was then assessed by measuring pH and acidity by incubation at the optimal temperature for zero, 4, 8, 24, 48 and 72 hours. Subsequently, enzymatic aspects related to technological features including proteolytic and amylolytic activity as well as diacetyl production were evaluated. The results showed that the growth rates of 3TB and 7KB strains belonging to E. durans and E. faecium were greater at 30 °C and that other isolates had the maximum growth rates at 43 °C. Beginning with the fourth hour of incubation, the examined enterococci significantly decreased pH and increased acidity so that, all of the isolates were able to coagulate milk within 72 hours of incubation at the proper growth temperature, with the exception of the 3TB and 7KB strains. It was also observed that isolates 5C, 1D and 3B had all three desired technological characteristics. Overall, examined isolates, particularly the 5C, 1D, and 3B strains, can be employed as an adjunct culture for the manufacture of fermented dairy products such as various cheese types due to their appropriate technological properties.

Late researchers have proposed a hybrid approach that has led to the development of an organizational competency. To this end, the purpose of this study was to develop a process model of strategic thinking as an organizational competency and in terms of two dimensions of content and strategy for managers of Gas Company, as its content and strategic elements, based on environmental requirements and the underlying factors. This research was carried out within the framework of a qualitative approach that was explained through the Grounded Theory and coding of the meta-synthesis of elements and components of the competence of strategic thinking. To this end, data was collected using a targeted sampling method and semi-structured interviews with experts as well as a snapshot of documents. Then, concepts and effective categories were extracted through theoretical coding with a systematic approach, as well as meta-synthesis questionnaires. Consequently, a general proposition that expresses the conceptual and generalized relationships between the components of the model of competence of strategic thinking is presented. The findings showed that the content dimension (central category) of strategic thinking, which was named as insight, includes five divergent ways of thinking that aim to produce creative and effective strategic options. And thinking strategies, which include six convergent and goal-oriented ways of thinking, select effective strategic options with an analytical approach. Also, the content dimension of strategic thinking (insight) is necessary in response to environmental requirements and through thinking strategies, develops organizational capabilities in accordance with environmental requirements.

According to the use of different models of acceptance, among available studies, an agent role and an independent role for individual characteristics have been considered. Since the existing literature is carried out in different cognitive contexts and on a variety of technologies, there is no agreement on the modulating or independent impact of gender and age. Accordingly, this study aimed to study both roles of these changes on a sample of 335 Islamic Azad University students who were selected collaboratively and was conducted on the technology of using the Internet on mobile phones. The data was collected using the technology acceptance questionnaire of Davis (1989) which was adapted to the mobile internet technology and its validity was confirmed. Data analysis is done using a t-test and analysis of variance (to determine the different roles of changes and a linear regression test to determine the role of adjustments. The results show a stronger role of gender on the components of perceived usefulness, behavioral intention, and behavior While the independent role of age only on the component of receiving meaningful usefulness and age showed its effect concerning usefulness and intention and changing the intention of behavior using mobile internet technology. These results showed the complexity of the role of individual differences in influence in technology adoption. proposed and suggests taking both mediating and independent roles of these changes in the use of technology models in research.
