Innovative activity of enterprises is conditioned by access to knowledge, first of all technical knowledge. The literature defines a technical knowledge as a certain repeatable production system in which initial data influences the output parameters of products or services, or as a set of technically reliable information, which is enabling the change of reality surrounding the human [1]. F. Hayek emphasized that this type of knowledge is spontaneous, uncontrolled, and its appearance causes that old knowledge becomes useless [2]. In the process of acquiring technical knowledge, enterprises apply the widest possible diversification, reaching both internal and external sources. The use of external knowledge sources is possible thanks to the controlled outflow of knowledge performed by third parties that decide on the conditional publication of technical parameters of inventions developed, the commercialization of new solutions or the sale of intellectual property rights [3].

The possibility of knowing the individual characteristics favors the use of strategies and adequate planning, so that, respecting the biological individuality, better results can be obtained. Many studies were and still are developed with the purpose of finishing the physical profile of the elite athletes of different sports modalities. Based on information that a mapping of the physical structures (representatives of peculiar advantages of each sport) brings to coaches and physical trainers parameters of the typology of athletes champions.

Agriculture plays a dominant role in the economic development of any country. It dominates major policies in many developing countries such as Nigeria. It is a major source of income for most households, organisations and industries. Despite the dominant and significant role of the petroleum sector in Nigeria, agriculture serves as the bedrock of the economy as it contributes the largest share of the Gross Domestic Product. Agriculture also serves as the largest employer of labour [1]. Though crops, animal products, medicinal herbs, pulp, timbers and firewood as agricultural products contribute immensely to the livelihood of inhabitants of the study area, the contributions of charcoal to their livelihood cannot be ignored.

Biodiesel is the name of a clean-burning, non-toxic alternative fuel made from vegetable oils and animal fats that can be used in compression-ignition engines. It refers to a diesel-equivalent, processed fuel derived from biological sources [1]. Biodiesel, which is mostly produced from vegetable oils, is mono-alkyl ester and is perceived to replace the diesel fuel [2]. Biodiesel fuel (B100) burns much cleaner than petroleum fuel due to its oxygen content. The exhaust emissions of sulfur oxides and sulfates, the major components of acid rain are essentially eliminated compared to diesel. Biodiesel is comprised of mid-carbon chains, which burn more completely than petroleum fuel. That is why there is a substantial reduction of unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter compared to emissions from diesel fuel. Biodiesel has exceptional lubricating qualities. Use of biodiesel or biodiesel blends have been shown to contribute significantly to the longevity and cleanliness of diesel engines. In new engines, biodiesel fuel consumption is similar to that of petro-diesel. In used engines, fuel economy substantially improves due to continuous cleaning effect of biodiesel.

In order to develop such software tools, it is necessary to provide an analytical background for software models processing. This background is based on possibilities of analytical approaches, involved to software engineering fundamentals. Such approaches are logics of the first and second orders, predicate calculus, methods for analysis of some software development artifacts surface and many others.

Syrian petroleum coke is produced by the delayed coking unit at the Homs Oil Refinery. This unit was designed and built during the late sixties of last century for the purpose of maximizing gasoline and distillate yields using a feedstock of residue materials. The petcoke produced is considered merely as a byproduct of little commercial value. This is mainly because of its high sulphur content and the high percentage of fines produced. It is being sold at present in the home market or exported as green untreated coke. Upgrading the produced petcoke by improving its quality and reducing the sulphur content to an acceptable level has always been a prime target of the Syrian refining industry.

Over the past decade the evolution of organisms resistant to nearly all the class of antimicrobial agents has become a severe public health concern [1,2]. Heterocyclic compounds have received considerable attention owing to their synthetic and biological importance in the enhancement of the quality of human life. Among numerous heterocycles compounds that have been synthesized and evaluated for their pharmacological activities, chalcone, pyrimidinone and pyrimidinethione have played a crucial role in medicinal chemistry. It was demonstrated that the presence of reactive α, β-unsaturated keto function in chalcones was responsible for their antibacterial and antifungal activities [3].
