An investigation of fish consumption attitude among nutrition experts in Iran
Nutrition experts have a large audience form the general public, so they can exert high impacts on the fish consumption attitude of the lay people. As such, we deemed an investigation of the fish consumption attitude of nutrition experts of great importance in fish extension planning and policy making. We selected 144 nutrition experts and interviewed them in September 2005. The results showed that 64% of the respondents believed advertisement on fish consumption could have high to very high effect on the promotion of fish consumption attitude of the people

Stability of Topological Black Holes
We explore the classical stability of topological black holes in
d-dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime, where the horizon is an Einstein
manifold of negative curvature. According to the gauge invariant formalism of
Ishibashi and Kodama, gravitational perturbations are classified as being of
scalar, vector, or tensor type, depending on their transformation properties
with respect to the horizon manifold. For the massless black hole, we show that
the perturbation equations for all modes can be reduced to a simple scalar
field equation. This equation is exactly solvable in terms of hypergeometric
functions, thus allowing an exact analytic determination of potential
gravitational instabilities. We establish a necessary and sufficient condition
for stability, in terms of the eigenvalues of the Lichnerowicz
operator on the horizon manifold, namely . For the case
of negative mass black holes, we show that a sufficient condition for stability
is given by .Comment: 20 pages, Latex, v2 refined analysis of boundary conditions in

AC Impedance Analysis of the Al/ZnO/p-Si/Al Schottky Diode: C-V Plots and Extraction of Parameters
In this research, we report on the measurement of the capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristics
Al / ZnO / p-Si / Al Schottky diode at room temperature and in dark condition fabricated by spray pyrolysis
process. C-V characteristics, within the range of frequencies 5 kHz-5 MHz, are investigated and microelectronic
parameters are extracted. Donor density and diffusion potential vary with frequency from 15 to 28
1014 cm – 3, 0.21 to 0.45 V. Besides, the interface state density of Al /ZnO /pSi/Al Schottky is determined
and found to be 1012 (eV cm²) – 1. Calculated at 1 MHz, the interfacial layer thickness and depletion layer
width are of 760 Å and 0.28 m
Carrier-induced ferromagnetism in n-type ZnMnAlO and ZnCoAlO thin films at room temperature
The realization of semiconductors that are ferromagnetic above room
temperature will potentially lead to a new generation of spintronic devices
with revolutionary electrical and optical properties. Transition temperatures
in doped ZnO are high but, particularly for Mn doping, the reported moments
have been small. We show that by careful control of both oxygen deficiency and
aluminium doping the ferromagnetic moments measured at room temperature in
n-type ZnMnO and ZnCoO are close to the ideal values of 5mB and 3mB
respectively. Furthermore a clear correlation between the magnetisation per
transition metal ion and the ratio of the number of carriers to the number of
transition metal donors was established as is expected for carrier induced
ferromagnetism for both the Mn and Co doped films. The dependence of the
magnetisation on carrier density is similar to that predicted for the
transition temperature for a dilute magnetic semiconductor in which the
exchange between the transition metal ions is through the free carriers.Comment: 14 pages pd
