Correlation analysis for the three components of organizational justice showed that three components of organizational justice had relations with organizational commitment.

This paper presents structural and tectonic analysis of Udi and Okigwe part of the Anambra basin using aeromagnetic data and Landsat imagery. The study targets to achieve the following objectives: to delineate major surface and subsurface structural lineaments and their trends, to determine the influence of structure on the sedimentation in the area as well the delineation of the basement topography. The aeromagnetic data processing was carried out by subjecting it to low pass filtering and the use of some analytical methods such as reduction to pole, upward continuation, trend surface analysis and first vertical derivative. Similarly, the Landsat imagery processing involves enhancement and transformation routines. Result of the study revealed that the dominant structural trend directionof the study area is in the NE-SW direction. The NE-SW trend is suspected as a continental extension of the Chain and Charcot Oceanic fracture system. Other structural trends are in the NW-SE, NNE-SSW and N-S directions. Lineament density map revealed a suspected megafracture zone around Lokpaukwu and environs. The 3-D basement map revealed a folded topography which reflects the level of tectonism within the study area. The residual polynomial surfaces revealed deep seated anomalies around Lokpaukwu. Finally, the abundance of pyroclastics within part of the study area makes the area viable for ore mineral and quarrying explorations.

Geophysical investigations are increasingly applied to urban planning development for mapping and monitoring. Vertical electric sounding method and seismic refraction technique were used in Imam Khomeini International Airport (IKIA) Iran, in an attempt to define the subsurface structure, variation in thickness and strength of layers and also, determine the earthquake prone zones in the area. Distribution of electrical resistivity indicated that the study area can be divided into two parts of northern-southern or northeast-southwest. The fine grain silt, clay, marble and chalk deposits with low resistivity are created thick layers in southern and southwest parts of area. In depths 30, 50, 100 and 150 m we are faced to change in soil materials, in the other word change in layer composition mainly occurred at these depths. Also, the real and vast aquifer cannot be considered for this site and just local small mounding of groundwater in some positions such as northern part of area, in deep old alluvial deposits can be guessed. It seems that fault or discontinuity is passed from northwest to the southeast of the study area and is caused the change in geology and sedimentary conditions. According to Iranian Seismic Code (Standard 2800), most of the land around the airport are in class 2 and 3 and the future construction in this region will be required to comply with the standard design principles.

The aim of this study is to identify factors that leads to the importance of priority banking services in Indonesia through available secondary data found in the literature. The factors include bank customer’s characteristics, the amount of bank deposits and investments made in retail banks, and the range of products/services offers by different banks. The study also describes the definitions and characteristics of priority banking services. Using categorization of customer’s segments, the authors explain why this service and customers are both important to the Indonesian banking industry in particular retail banks to date and in future.

The present study intends to review the previous researches carried out on the field of knowledge strategy codification and investigate the influence of intellectual capital on the knowledge strategy codification in Islamic Republic of Iran’s oil industry. The primary objective of this study is to analysis the impact of intellectual capital on codifying knowledge strategy in oil industry. This study is categorized as an applied one and has been carried out through the descriptive method of research, and the method used for employing variables is a combination of quantitative (descriptive – survey) and qualitative (content analysis) methods of research. Moreover, for the exploratory factor analysis of the intellectual capital indicators and knowledge strategy and to assess the validity of the questionnaire, the exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis techniques and KMO indices have been used, to determine the reliability of the questionnaire, the technique of Cranach’s alpha has been applied, and to discover whether the hypotheses are void or confirmed, inferential statistics been employed. To examine the hypotheses, correlation coefficients have been used, and to assign rank orders to variables, Friedman test has been applied.The result of the study reveals that there is a positive and meaningful relationship between intellectual capital and knowledge strategy. Another finding of the study is that human is the significant factor in intellectual capital, and knowledge development plays the most crucial role in knowledge strategy.

Complete overdenture treatment uses a removable complete denture that overlies retained teeth, tooth roots, or dental implants. Those teeth that would have gone for extraction can frequently be retained by improving their crown-root ratio. These teeth, because of periodontal disease, have lost about two-third of their bony support and have a very unfavourable crown-root ratio. If endodontic therapy is performed on the retained teeth followed by reduction, the crown-root ratio can be greatly improved. An overdenture can be made that is supported by both teeth and residual alveolar ridge. Such treatment provides potential benefits by reducing residual ridge resorption, improves prosthesis retention and stability, and increased patient satisfaction. The overdenture concept may be used on complete, immediate or partial dentures.

Cheap is definitely cheerful. Included here are several designers and artists, who have turned their backs on the high prices of high fashion to make clothing and accessories out of the most abundant and inexpensive materials. In any single culture, the definition of what constitutes an extreme fashion may be agreed upon; but extreme fashion, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. Trash items such as attachments, extensions, tapes, plastics, cartons, paper, and wire could be starting materials for innovative extraordinary details and additions in clothing design. The objective of this paper is to develop strategic thinking in designing in order to achieve viable solutions for fashion designing. Design extreme ideas for give final shape by draping in three dimensional feeling to create fashion designs usage as source to new fashion trend, as fantasy clothing, and fashion windows display stores. Create ten designs using trash materials as a source of extreme fashionable designs.

In this work, the spectral properties of 5-bromo-2-methoxybenzaldehyde (BMB) are studied using density functional theory (DFT) employing B3LYP/6-311++G (d) and B3LYP/6-311++G (d, p) levels of theory. There are four conformers, C1, C2, C3, and C4 for this molecule. The computational results diagnose the most stable conformer of BMB as the C1 form. The optimized geometrical parameters obtained by B3LYP/6-311++G (d, p) method show good agreement with experimental X-ray data. The electric dipole moment (m) and first hyperpolarizability (?) values of the investigated molecule are computed using scaled quantum mechanics (SQM) method. The calculated results also show that the BMB might have microscopic non-linear optical (NLO) behavior with non-zero values. A study on the electronic properties, such as HOMO and LUMO energies, is performed. The isotropic chemical shift computed by ¹H and ¹³C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) chemical shifts of the BMB calculated using the gauge invariant atomic orbital (GIAO) method also shows good agreement with experimental observations.
