The Possible Meaning of Fine Structure Constant 1/α = hC/(2pe²) = 137.036

Dongsheng Zhang 

Email: zhangds12@hotmail.com

【Abstract】。Through making the analogous comparisons of Dirac’s large number 1/L_n to the fine structure constant 1/α, and of gravitational force F_g to F_b, the better reasonable conclusion might be that, 1/α could be 137.036 times or proportion of the strong force Fn to the electromagnetic force F_e in the atomic nucleus.

Abstract: The present study is aimed at determining and explaining Value Management (VM) role on Project Management (PM) (Projects Briefing Process) in National Iran Gas Transmission Company “NIGTC” includes investigating effects of 13 VM independent variables on PM dependent variable. In this research, populations were all of projects managers of central office include 15 persons, data were collected through structured interviews and complete of questionnaire with reliability coefficient of 0.98. Findings showed that despite of having theoretical background pertaining to affecting all of the 13 VM independent variables on PM dependent variable, multiple regression analyses indicated that 8 item of 13 VM variables have had effects on PM includes Risk Management (1.46), Project Brief (1.42), Stakeholder Management (-0.87), Change Management (-0.85), Post Project Evaluation (-0.76), Client Representation (-0.63), knowledge management (4.298), Critical Success Factors (0.59), and Knowledge Management (0.35), respectively. While Decision Making, Communications, Type of Business, Teams Dynamics, and Culture had not affects on PM. Finally, based on these results, some suggestions were given on how the managers and authorities of NIGTC can improve projects briefing process by attending to these 8 VM variables.

ABSTRACT: The presence and possible effect of heavy metal (such as cadmium, zinc, lead, e.t.c) concentration in the clay used in pot making were investigated. Clay samples were collected at three locations where they are used mostly in making pots and other kitchen utensils. The concentrations of heavy metals were determined using the Atomic Absorption Spectrometer (AAS). Results indicate that the concentration Cu, Zn, Cr, Pb, As, and Mn falls within the range of the maximum admissible concentration of heavy metals of several countries mostly in Europe. However, the concentration Cadmium and Nickel are relatively higher than the maximum admissible concentration of toxic metals in soil for countries like Denmark and Sweden.

Abstract: Given to the impacts of the Iran-Iraq war and strategic importance and geographical situation of Hormoz strait, Islamic Republic of Iran Navy has adopted asymmetric pattern of defense. In accordance, Iranian Naval force has deployed this policy with defensive aims and deterrent purpose against the enemy, through taking advantage of geographical situation and strategic importance of the region as well as focusing on Shiite-inspired concepts like martyrdom. This pattern concentrates on using the advanced technologies and modern weaponry in situation unexpected for the enemy. In other word, in this defense pattern, speed, ambiguity, spread and dispersion by the usage of armed speedboats, extensive mining and missile attacks from submarines and sites situated in the Persian Gulf shores and islands beside the combined and simultaneous air attack are considered key factors. Given to these issues, the article aims to evaluate principles of Iran’s naval defense pattern.

Abstract: This article is to explain the relationship between Iran and Europe union on context of energy in after Islamic revolution in Iran (1979). In the article, we tend to explain the changes that caused by the different presidents in relationship of Iran with Europe since Islamic revolution. The article is written in three main parts. In the first part, we are explained to issues like over Overview of Iran, Factor of U.S.A – Islamic Republic of Iran – oil, common interests and differences between Iran and Europe countries. In second part, we will explain the pragmatism viewpoint and policy of Hashemi Rafsanjani rather the Europe union. His foreign policy was based on restructuring and renovation of the oil industry and attracting investment, taking loans from the foreign countries and establishing the relations with Europe union. The important contracts have been established with Europe in context of oil and gas in different field of energy. In third part, we will investigate the presidency of Khatami which called the reformist government after the revolution of Iran, this period was one of the most significant for Iran because Iranian opened the door and relation with world especially with European countries, and this period was short time in foreign policy of Iran. There were so many differences between Iran and Europe which going to resolves by Khatami.

Abstract: Today all persons are using online transaction. Online transaction helps the persons to transit the data from one place to other place. Online transaction is a safe transaction. Through online account we use the service of online transaction. Online transaction reduces the paper work. E-governance allows the person to facilitate the service of online transaction. Now day’s online transaction is widely used in e-governance for submitting the bill or buying and selling the things. In this paper we discuss about the account securities when we paid the e-governance for bill or buying and selling the things then how our account is safe or how we say that this transaction is a best or safe transaction medium between the e-governance and citizens. In this paper we discuss the some securities like history deletion, self account logout; no one can change the amount without the permission of administrator, self receipt generation , message generation when login and logout the account. Give the transaction report through the email, message or receipt.

Abstract:Full utilization of available resources is vital to the development of any country especially those that are striving to meet the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). This study was carried out to determine the level of the community’s patronage and utilization of a Nigeria’s tertiary health institution with particular reference to University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, Borno state . Ten years (2000 and 2009) data were collected retrospectively from medical records departments of the hospital. Medical clinic had the highest outpatients attendance of 35568 , followed by GOPD clinic with 21406 and Obstetrics and Gynecology (O/G) with 21,301 compared to pediatrics clinic with 17,190 and Surgical clinic with 4205. The medical clinic had the highest average daily clinic attendance of 185 patients, followed by O/G with 151. The least was pediatrics clinic with 32 patients. Within the period under study, highest admission steadily increased from 2000, peaked in 2003 and drops gradually from 2004-2006. There was a sharp drop in the number of admissions in 2007 (from 11988 to 1169) there after it increased in 2008 and 2009.However, the number of deaths steadily increased from 2000 (438) to 2004 () and peaked in 2007 (1087) before it declined in 2009 (775). 75% of the hospital beds were occupied in 2009 with the average length of stay of 17 days. The turnover interval (number of replacement per bed) was highest (13 days) in 2000 and 2007 but lowest in 2003 (3days). The throughput (number of patient that pass through the bed) was highest in 2003 (29 days) but lowest in 2000 (17days). UMTH appears to be over utilized by the community. Proper utilization of both the primary and secondary health care delivery Institutions in Borno State will reduce the pressure on the tertiary facility. In UMTH there is need for improvement for adequate patronage of the medical, O&G and paediatric clinics.

Abstract: Portal hypertension is responsible for complications of cirrhosis such as bleeding esophageal varices (EV) and ascites. The aim of this study is to investigate the correlation between serum-ascites albumin gradient (SAAG) and presence of EV and their grades in patients with portal hypertension. Patients and Methods: Thirty three chronic liver disease patients with ascites were studied. They were subjected to clinico-laboratory assessment, ascitic fluid analysis, calculation of SAAG, abdominal ultrasonography and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Results: The results showed that a cutoff ">1.4" for SAAG to predict the presence of varices with a specificity and a positive predictive value of 100%, the accuracy of this cutoff was 56.1%. However, it had a low sensitivity and a low negative predictive value. A cutoff ">1.2" for SAAG to discriminate between large and small varices yielded a specificity of 69.2% and a positive predictive value of 66.7%, the accuracy of this cutoff was 60%. However, it had a relatively low sensitivity and low negative predictive value. Conclusions: A cutoff ">1.4" for SAAG to predict the presence of varices yielded a specificity and a positive predictive value of 100%, the accuracy of this cutoff was 56.1%.
