        Emphasizing comprehensive and systematic approaches in housing planning and policy-making is an inevitable necessity. Given the importance of housing planning for low-income groups based on comprehensive approaches, the purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of minimal housing programs and policies, with emphasis on territorial spatial arrangement approach in East Azerbaijan province. The research method in the present study is mixed (combination of qualitative-quantitative approaches), applied purpose and descriptive-analytical nature. Also, the statistical population of the study includes managers, officials and experts in the field of housing, which the sample size is estimated using the Delphi method and purposive sampling of 200 people. In order to analyze the research information, the partial least squares method has been used in Smart-pls software. The results show that the land management approach in minimal housing programs and policies in East Azerbaijan province has not been fully and comprehensively implemented. The main reasons for the impracticability of the territorial spatial arrangement approach in minimal housing programs and policies of the province in the province can be the lack of population stabilization and preventing further immigration to the capital of Tabriz, the involvement of brokers (lack of proper government intervention) in land and housing pricing and rents in cities and taxes He also pointed to vacant houses and the lack of accurate and intelligent identification of low-income groups (first to fourth deciles) and the lack of formation of special credit funds to facilitate the receipt and repayment of facilities.

        Background and ObjectiveIn recent years, the study of climate changes as well as their effects, has become a constant topic in the scientific fields of many countries. One of the main features of these changes is the increase in air temperature over the last 5 decades compared to the last 500 years. Statistics show an increase of one degree centigrade in air temperature over the last 5 decades. The land surface temperature means the radiant temperature of the earth's crust and the amount of pure energy that is balanced on the earth's surface under climatic conditions and depends on the reached the amount of energy, surface emissivity, humidity and atmospheric airflow. Land surface temperature is considered as one of the key variables in climate and environmental studies of the Earth’s surface. It is also one of the basic parameters in the physical features of  the earth's surface at all scales from local to global. Currently, the most important sources of climatic data are meteorological stations, and these stations provide climatic statistics for certain points, while the temperature may alter at different intervals stations and decrease or increase compared to the desired station. Therefore, it is necessary to have a technology that can eliminate the shortcomings of meteorological stations in calculating the temperature at sampling intervals and in impassable places where it is not possible to build a meteorological station. In recent years, new sciences such as remote sensing have provided new ways to monitor the environment and acquire, evaluate, and analyze environmental data, and can provide a wide range of parameters relating to the environment. This technology is considered as an important and increasing source of information for studying climate change that has a direct impact on global warming. Over the past two decades, 18 algorithms have been developed to calculate the land surface temperature. These algorithms fall into four categories: emissivity-dependent models, two-factor models, complex models, and radio-based models. The results of the comparisons between different algorithms shows that different algorithms perform differently in different situations with different geographical climates. Therefore, the present study aims to compare the types of LST calculation algorithms for MODIS sensor images and determine the best algorithm for East Azarbaijan province. Materials and Methods Convert digital numbers (DN) to spectral radiation. The following equation was used to convert the numerical values to spectral radiation for thermal bands of MODIS sensor images. Planck's equation was used to convert spectural radation to spectral reflection when the radiant power of thermak data of MODIS sensor is considered to be a maximum of one. In order to estimate the surface emissivity, the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) thresholding method is used. The radiant power is divided into three categories to determine the soil characteristics in each pixel and to calculate the emissivity rate and emissivity difference; 0.2>NDVI, it is considered as dry soil and its radiant power is considered to be equal to 0.978. 0.5 NDVI, it is related to pixels with higher vegetation density and its radiant power is considered 0.985. 0.5>NDVI<0.2, it is based on a combination of pixels relating to vegetation and soil and the radiant power for them can be calculated. The vegetation ratio, that its value can be calculated. The value of each scientific finding depends on its accuracy. To compare the obtained results from the algorithms used to calculate the land surface temperature with the recorded temperature in meteorological station. Results and DiscussionThe results of the present study show that among the 18 algorithms for the land surface temperature estimation for MODIS sensor images, the Sobrino algorithm with RMSE value of 1.79 has the highest accuracy, Cole Casillas and Prata algorithm with RMSE value of 2.85 is in the second position, and also the Salisbury and Sobrino algorithms with RMSE values of 2.39 have the third place for LST calculation among the other algorithms. The Qin algorithm with a RMSE value of 5.28 has the lowest accuracy for LST estimation. Conclusion A review of the data obtained from comparing split-window algorithms shows the overall compliance of the calculated temperatures with the topographic conditions of the region, so that almost the lowest temperature values in all algorithms are related to the parts having more height (mountainous) and green cover of the region and also, temperature values have risen in low-lying areas lacking dense vegetation.

        The present study focused on feasibility assessment of establishing solar panels sites within the East Azerbaijan. The research’s methodology was established based on GIS spatial decision making systems. It should be mentioned that decreasing nonrenewable sources' process has been considered as one of the serious challenges. Thus, using solar energy is a solution to deal with this challenge. The high topoclimatic and physical properties of the East Azerbaijan tends to establish solar panels for producing electricity. In order to evaluate the possibility of establishing solar systems, within this research we aim to apply GIS-multi criteria decision making models for integrating the data and selecting to potential sites for solar panels. To achieve this, the prior options from different options of analyses network model (ANP) was applied for analyzing the criteria. As part of methodology, the Landsat satellite was used for extracting land use/cover. The SRTM dataset also employed for exploring the elevation, slope, aspect and solar shining. The climate dataset were used for monitoring climatological parameters such as raining, temperature, humidity, number of dusty days, number of cloudy days and sunny hours within the period of 1986 to 2014. Finally the solar panel suitability maps achieved by compounding the informative layers and multiplying those criteria were accessed from executing the model. The results indicated that 48.61% of the study area has very high suitability for solar panels programs. While the northern parts of East Azerbaijan province includes very low potentiality for producing solar based energy. Manuscript profile

        Nowadays, planning and policy-making in the housing sector in the spatial and regional approach, especially affordable housing for low-income groups, is one of the main and most important topics in economic, demographic and social studies. In this regard, the emphasis on comprehensive and systematic approaches in spatial planning and housing policy in order to provide affordable housing is an inevitable necessity. Given the importance of low-income housing planning based on comprehensive approaches and spatial perspective, the purpose of this study is to diagnose the pathology of low-income housing planning system with emphasis on territorial spatial arrangement approach in East Azerbaijan province to identify the current situation and provide practical solutions to achieve the desired situation. In this regard, the method of the present study is applied in terms of purpose and analytical-exploratory in nature, which in order to analyze the data, has been used the qualitative method of Q-factor analysis. The statistical population of the study also includes city managers and experts familiar with housing planning issues, that the sample size was determined using the Delphi method and according to the quality of the research and the use of in-depth interview method of 14 people. Findings show that the most important housing planning inadequacies of low-income groups in East Azerbaijan province can be expressed by emphasizing the territorial spatial arrangement approach in three factors; housing market economic policies, development policies, urban planning and housing construction, as well as macro (structural) policies, which Explain 77% of the total variance. Housing planning policies also have major shortcomings in the territorial spatial arrangement process of "organizing studies", "assessing the status quo and feasibility" and "foresight".

        Marrubium genus belongs to the family Lamiaceae which is one of the precious genara native to Iran. Phytochemical studies upon Marrubium spp. are so limited so we decided to study four species of genus Marrubium native to Iran. The aerial parts of four Marrubium spp. (M. crassidens, M. persicum, M. propinquum, and M. parviflorum) were collected during their flowering stages from Varzeghan and Marand provinces from Azarbaijan, Iran in 1395. Dried plant materials were solvent extracted separately with petroleum ether, chloroform and methanol via maceration method. Afterwards, the antioxidant activities of the extracts were evaluated through scavenging the free DPPH radicals. Besides, the total phenolic and flavonoid contents of the extracts were verified based on colorimetric relative techniques. The antioxidant evaluation established the lowest RC50 of 11.1μg/mL for the 40% Sep-Pak fraction of the M. crassidens methanol extract. Moreover, petroleum ether extracts revealed no antioxidant activity. The most total phenolics and flavonoids content of the extracts were for M. crassidens methanol extract with 512.6 mg gallic acid equivalent and 212.7 mg quercetin equivalent both in 100 g dried plant material. In the study, presence of phenollics and flavonoids in different levels alongside prominent antioxidant activities were detected for the four Marrubium spp. native to East Azerbaijan. Overall, M. crassidens possessed higher phenolic and flavonoid contents resulting in superior antioxidant activity compared to other three species. Manuscript profile

        The use of antibiotics in the treatment of salmonellosis is of particular interest both in veterinary medicine and in medicine. Due to the widespread use of antibiotics in the therapeutic debate, resistance to these agents has increased among bacteria. The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of quinolone resistance genes and to determine the antibiotic resistance pattern of Salmonella isolates from laying poultry. For this purpose, in a period of approximately three months in 1977, 20 cases of reference laying hens were sampled from different farms with symptoms of Salmonella. Biochemical tests were used to identify the isolates and to determine the serotype by the Kauffman White method for the identification of somatic O antigen and flagella H. After serotyping in the Muller Hinton Agar environment, antibiogram tests were performed using the disks of anrofloxacin, phosphomycin, danofloxacin, chlortetracycline, oxytetracycline, doxycycline, soltreim, erythromycin and amoxicillin. After determination of qnrs and aac (6 ') - ib-cr resistance genes, the respective primers were designed. Bacterial genes were extracted by boiling and the presence of the genes was evaluated by PCR. Positive samples indicate the presence of quinolone resistance genes in Salmonella isolates from laying poultry.

        In recent years, flood producing thunderstorms have caused flood with severe human and financial damage in northwestern Iran, especially eastern Azarbaijan. In this research, we tried to obtain new and more accurate methods for acquiring knowledge about thunderstorms types. According to the weather reports, the data set containing five flood cases with twenty precipitable cells have been extracted in the area covered by Tabriz radar. Radar maximum reflectivity and its vertical cut products are used for detecting type, duration and intensity of thunderstorms. In addition, by using upper air data from sounding and General Forecast System (GFS) data with resolution of 0.5° × 0.5°, some instability indices such as K index, Showalter index, Total-Total index, Convective Available Potential Energy (CAPE), Bulk Richardson Number (BRN), Helicity, Energy – Helicity index, Vertical wind shear and precipitable water have been investigated. Results showed that the most flood producing thunderstorms were Single cell or Multi cells which after their movement and merging together, formed complex cells. Manuscript profile

        This study was conducted to determine water quality of Aras River (Western Azerbaijan), based on metals (Mo, Cu, As, Hg) at four stations (From Julfa to 25km after Nourdos border) during four seasons from 2015 to 2016. Thirty two samples of water and sediments were collected. All samples were analyzed using standard methods (digestion and extraction), using an atomic absorption specphotometer instrument. Results showed that Mo, Cu, As and Hg concentrations in waterand sediments ranged between 0.10-23.01, 3.0-40.0, 0.02-0.81, 23.7-104.6 µg/l, and 0.1-111.6, 17.5-482.5, 0.001-0.145, 46.8-303.6 µg/g.dw, respectively. As a conclusion, water quality of Aras River was classified as class III (moderately polluted) based on mean concentration of Cu. Mo concentration was found to be less than permissible level. Water quality of Aras River was classified as class IV and II based on mean values of Hg and As, respectively. Maximum levels of Mo and Cu in surface sediments were found at stations 3 and 4 during all seasons, which is because of effluents and sewage from Mo, gold and other metal mines from Armenia. Mean concentration of As at surface sediment was higher than recommended standard value, but concentration of Hg was lower than recommended value. Manuscript profile

        Our statistical study showed that during period 2000-2010, Eastern Azerbaijan Province was threated by numerous severe floods. These occurred during spring with a frequency of 66% and summer with 28% and fall with 4% and winter with only 2% frequency. From damages viewpoint, we selected two of most severe floods of the province to work on. The first one was in Tabriz city, centre of Eastern Azerbaijan Province, on 14th of May 2007. The other one occurred in Mianeh city on 18th of June 2009. For studying the two severe floods, we analyzed synoptic charts at all standard levels for 13-15th of May 2007 and 17-19th of June 2009. We found an inverted thermal trough at the earth’s surface impacting with baroclinic short waves trough that moving fast from west to east over the region. The above features were induced by two blocking patterns. First one was a blocking high, located over north of Siberia, and second one was a Cut-off low, located over north of central Europe. The magnitude of upward mention over 700hpa level troughs,  was and magnitude of absolute vorticity over 500hpa, level troughs were in the range of  . the main pattern for the second flood, occurred in Mianeh, was also an inverted thermal trough at the earth’s surface, impacting a could cut-off low in middle and upper troposphere, located over Turkey for this case, we found that the magnitude of upward motion in the centre of cut-off low at 700hpa was  and magnitude of absolute vorticity in the center of cut-off low at 500hpa was  but at the same time absolute vorticity over the province was . The total daily amounts of precipitation forecast from GFS model was in a good harmony with recorded daily precipitation in the stations for the Mianeh flood but for Tabriz’s flood, the result was not appropriate.

        rural communities Rural communities play an important role in the balanced development of the country. Rural communities play an important role in the balanced development of the country. Given the issues and problems facing rural communities, the pursuit of sustainable social development in the form of participation, security, customs and public awareness of the villagers seems a necessity. The advent of modern technology, the change in the production structure, the social and economic indicators of rural life have changed and led to the emergence of social anomalies and migration to cities and the reduction of the young generation and consequently the erosion of rural fabric and housing. East Azerbaijan province, as one of the agricultural hubs of Iran, has 2591 villages. Of these, 1067 villages in the province are located in the mountains, so the statistical population of this study is 1067 villages, of which 25 villages have been selected as a sample that had the necessary characteristics for this study. In this study, to measure social and cultural sustainability, effective indicators and criteria have been identified in mountainous villages. By performing various tests using a researcher-made questionnaire in the form of 21 questions, the impact of social sustainability indicators on Empowerment of rural communities confirms the mountainous area of ​​the province. Therefore, the main question of the present study is that according to the heads of rural households in the mountainous area of ​​East Azerbaijan province, what criteria and indicators in terms of socio-cultural sustainability have the greatest impact on improving the quality of life in ?

        In order to find out diversity of Testudo graeca populations in the north western of Iran, 30 adult females were studied in East Azerbaijan, West Azerbaijan and Zanjan Provinces from April 2008 to April 2010. The natural history of specimens is presented. Forty morphometric characters in three populations have been measured. Principle Component Analysis (PCA) exploited three means components. The components expressed 80.32%, 4.38% and 3.22% changes, respectively. Dispersion of Specimens based on components showed that all populations are placed closed to each other. Discriminant Factor Analysis (DFA) educed two meaningful Factors that expressed 53.6 % and 46.4% changes. Dispersion of Specimens based on Factor 1 and 2 demonstrated that all populations were separated, distinctly. It seems that habitat differences, geographical and ecological situation are the reason for this separation. Cluster analysis showed all of populations were placed in a same cluster, but one of specimens of West Azerbaijan was placed in separate branch.

        The European pond turtle, Emys orbicularis (L., 1758), is widespread. The distribution of this species has wide dispersal in the North and West of Iran and reaches eastwards to the Caspian and Aral Seas. In order to find out possible populations differentiations, a survey was conducted from Apr. 2008 to Sep. 2009 in the southern coastal of Caspian Sea including Golastan, Mazandaran, Ardebil and East Azarbaijan province. The natural history of specimens are presented. Forty morphometric characters in 30 adult males from four populations have been measured. Using ANOVA, it was showed East Azarbaijan and Golastan populations have the highest mean in the most of characters in comparison with the other populations. Principle Component Analysis (PCA), in males exploited four means components. The components expressed 71.85%, 11.65%, 4.6% and 2.5% changes, respectively. Dispersion of Specimens based on components showed that Ardebil population is separated from other populations based on the first component, completely, but the other populations closed to each other. It seems that habitat differences, geographical and ecological situation are the reason for this separation. Cluster analysis showed all of populations were placed separately, but one of specimens of East Azarbaijan was placed in separate branch. So this interesting finding can be inferred by new haplotype.

        Codling moth is one of the most important pests of apple trees and this crop is treated by different pesticides several times each year. In this research, effect of different doses of Calypso (240 0D) () and calypso (480 SC) with 300 ppm dose on codling moth was studied in comparison to Azinphos methyl () and untreated trees. Trial was carried out on one of the apple orchards in Azarbayejan-e-sharqi province in completely randomized block design (CRBD) with 6 treatments and 4 replicates. Falled fruits were sampled one day before and 3, 7, 14 and 25 days after spraying in plots. After 25th day of late spraying, number of infested and uninfested fruits on trees and falled fruits were counted in plots. Effect percent of different treatments was calculated by Schneided-Orelli formulae. In the basis of percent of uninfested fruits and effect percent aspects, there were significant difference between treatments (p<0.01) and in comparison of means, all calypso OD and SC doses settled in level A and AB groups, Azinphos methyl in level B and control in level C groups. Results showed that all doses of two formulations of calypso in comparison to Azinphos methiyl had good effect in declining of codling moth population and application of this new insecticide could be recommended instead of Azinphos methyl and other common insecticides used to control of codling moth.  Manuscript profile
