Abstract: The organizational culture means the character for an organization. Culture consists of values, norms, abstract and concrete signs and the symbols of the organizations. Based on the importance of the organizational culture and that the functional, efficient human work forces, are limited, times consuming and costly, the managers should get the fact that these workforces are significant. But, most managers are just ignoring these facts. In this respect, this project or research has tried to survey the relationship between organizational culture, creativity or innovation based on the model about the organization Excellency. This project is consisting of all the personnel of Fakour industrial company. The personnel consist of all the managers, experts and the employees of 141 people. The approach of getting or gathering data on theoretical aspects were from libraries and internet, and the data were taken through questionnaires. In order to describe the data, SPSS software has been used. Also, in order to survey whether the community statistics is normal or not, multi variable model has been used, and the AMOS software has been used to perform the model analysis. The results of the research show that first the model, which has been used, is really suitable for this case, and second, the findings show that the organizational culture, creativity and innovation were favorable, and also the organizational culture had a positive, direct effect on the creativity and innovation.

Abstract: The causes of mass extinctions have been currently reviewed with state-of-the-art information on new hypotheses dealing with the disappearance of creatures as a result of sudden (catastrophic) and/or gradual changes in environments. A special reference to vanishing of dinosaurs is detailed.

Abstract: Oxygen free radicals have been implicated as mediators of tissue damage in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Purpose: This study was designed to elucidate the effect of complemented "SELEN PLUS" antioxidant supplementation on clinical manifestation and serum level of AsymEnetric Dimethyl Arginin (ADMA), high sensitive C-Reactive proteins (HS-CRP) and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) in Female Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Method: This is a clinical trial study, surveyed by choosing forty RA females between 40_60 ages with a moderate to severe disease. Disease activity scale (DAS- 28) and serum levels of ADMA, HS-CRP and VEGF were measured two times (before and after intervention). Results: In Patients, serum levels of Hs-CRP, ADMA, VEGF and HS-CRP were elevated in comparison with normal. (Pz0/003 and p=0/019) but VEGF and ADMA levels, number of stiffed joints and painful joints did not show significant changes after 3 months. In addition, there were a positive linear correlation between DAS-28 change score and Hs-CRP changes (with coefficient correlation of r=0/922 and p=0/001). Conclusion: Complemented "SELEN PLUS" antioxidant supplementation make significant change in Hs-CRP level but it does not make any significant changes in VEGF and ADMA levels in Female Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis

ABSTRACT: Development of vaccination as a tool in fighting disease has resulted in the potential to combat almost all infectious agents affecting people and animals. The ultimate objective of vaccination is to induce an immune response that subsequently recognizes the infectious agent and fights off the disease. Recombinant DNA technology is any technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms’ derivatives to make or modify products or processes for specific use. Using recombinant DNA technology scientists are working vaccines. Recombinant DNA technology has indeed made tremendous breakthrough in the discovery of various vaccines. The new generation vaccines prepared from the viral or microbial proteins, their fragments or nucleic acid sequences have been attractive because of their stability, non-infectious nature, homogeneity as well as their cost effectiveness. This paper provides a brief historical overview of vaccine development and describes three basic categories of newer, recombinant vaccines: live genetically modified organisms, recombinant inactivated (killed) vaccines and genetic vaccines.
