Any country that has attained a suitable station in today's world and positioned itself finely is because of years of ceaseless effort and attitude of the great women and men, who through unrivaled courage and perpetual perseverance, have left an aesthetically splendid legacy for all to live and abide by. In the world of trade and entrepreneurship in Iran, a large number of wonderful and decent folks, be it in pre- or post-revolutionary years, have labored intensely to enable the constant growth of the country's economy, and create job opportunities for the masses.Dr. Reza Yadegari and his esteemed wife, Ms. Mahshid Sanaee fard, are the only researcher couple actively involved in the Iranian entrepreneurial scene ever since 1997 when they were in their 20s. The highly distinguished and academically accredited wife and husband have spent a better part of their lives researching the greatest Iranian entrepreneurs, and as result have conducted interviews with over five hundred such top-notch entrepreneurs across the country. Their valuable works and acclaimed books have earned them many prestigious awards including the 'Jalal Al-e-Ahmad Prize.' Finally, the Doctor and his kind wife's overall goal and the objective is to introduce the Iranian economy and entrepreneurs to the rest of the world.
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Rich in titles on English life and social history, this collection spans the world as it was known to eighteenth-century historians and explorers. Titles include a wealth of travel accounts and diaries, histories of nations from throughout the world, and maps and charts of a world that was still being discovered. Students of the War of American Independence will find fascinating accounts from the British side of conflict. ++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

For the first time in one comprehensive presentation, "Modern Information Systems for Managers" integrates some of the most recent and promising applications and technologies of information systems not found in current texts. Dr. Bidgoli's presentation offers several unique features to prepare future executives for effective utilization of information systems. The text presents coverage of the popular information systems technology within the context of information systems. Using this approach, Bidgoli has investigated all the important issues surrounding design and implementation of information systems including microcomputers, security issues, telecommunications and group support systems. The key features are: carefully examines new and future issues related to successful information systems design; gives the reader an understanding of upcoming technologies; contains a complete discussion of information systems analysis, design, and implementation; presents a comprehensive discussion or organizational, social, and legal impacts of information systems early in the text; each chapter contains learning objectives which leave the reader with a measurable goal; introduces various software products and their application to both micro and mainframe computers; and, each chapter concludes with 20 to 25 review questions. 'Practical Applications' presents numerous information systems applications in functional areas of business including: information systems in manufacturing, marketing, finance, human resource management, and strategic planning; internet and global information systems; decision support and executive information systems; group support systems; geographic information systems; multimedia and virtual reality; and, artificial intelligence and expert systems.
Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as three-dimensional (3D) printing, is a relatively new manufacturing technique that has gained significant industrial interest. AM is a key low-carbon manufacturing technology incorporating net-shaping whilst avoiding complex process chains. This manufacturing technique is appealing for a variety of applications, including aerospace, oil, gas, marine, automotive, biomedical, and nuclear, due to advantages such as component design freedom, component complexity, light weighting, toolless nature, part consolidation, and decreased material waste. To overcome the performance limitations and to take advantage of the alloy design opportunities provided by AM technology, a new generation of alloys suitable for AM is needed. In addition to this, optimising process parameters and microstructure evolution during AM can lead to improved mechanical, corrosion, fatigue, irradiation, and wear properties, amongst other benefits. With a view to select the best alloys for a given application, and to identify the compositional and property gaps of existing materials, this book presents a review of AM powder alloys, the technologies to produce and process them, and the design methodologies to conceive new formulations. The requirement to make powder AM technology sustainable are reviewed.
In God and Man in Tehran, Hossein Kamaly explores the historical processes that have made and unmade contending visions of God in Iran's capital throughout the past two hundred years. Kamaly examines how ideas of God have been mobilized, contested, and transformed, emphasizing how notions of the divine have given shape to and in turn have been shaped by divergent conceptualizations of nature, reason, law, morality, and authority. God and Man in Tehran analyzes official government policies, modern textbooks, and university curricula; popular beliefs and ritual practices; and philosophical and juridical attitudes toward theological questions in traditional institutions. Kamaly considers continuity and change in religiosity under the Qajar and Pahlavi dynasties; the significance of outbreaks of messianic expectations; why a modernizing nation took a sudden turn toward state religiosity; and how the Islamic Republic deploys visions of God against foreign enemies and domestic critics. Beyond the majority Shia Muslim population, the book includes minority and suppressed voices, discussing the views of Sunni Muslims, Armenian and Assyrian Christians, Jews, Baha'is, and Zoroastrians and investigating issues of gender and class. With a focus on the diversity of ideas of the divine, God and Man in Tehran offers a novel perspective on the intellectual movements that have shaped Iranian modernity.
Until as recently as the late 1970s, the main channel for oil distribution was the integrated system of the major oil companies, while the volume of spot trading was limited to roughly 5 percent of the total oil trade. Today, spot and spot-related deals account for 80 to 85 percent of internationally traded petroleum, and have ushered in a new era of petroleum trading. In this work, Hossein Razavi and Fereidun Fesharaki offer a detailed study of the workings and issues surrounding today's oil trading market as they apply to all parties involved in the production, distribution, and consumption of petroleum. They provide a complete description of petroleum spot markets, futures, and options trading, and their interlinkages with contract sales.Razavi and Fesharaki cover a wide range of topics, and challenge the generally accepted view that spot and futures trading have wrested the power of price setting away from OPEC. They claim that prices are still determined by supply, which OPEC continues to influence. The book is divided into four sections, beginning with an overview of recent developments in spot, futures, and contract trading. Section two provides an analysis of spot and spot-related deals, while the third section describes the mechanics, organization, and evolution of petroleum futures markets and options trading. The work concludes with an in-depth section on interlinkages, examining the interactions among various segments of the market, including spot and futures trading, petroleum stock building, and OPEC. This book will be a valuable resource tool for libraries as well as a wide range of users, from oil industry professionals and financial analysts to students of energy-related topics.
