        In recent years, the use of renewable energy sources to produce electricity in the power system has grown a lot. Compared to fossil fuels, these resources do not pollute the environment and there is no concern about their depletion. The problem of renewable energy sources is that their production power is variable due to the changes of these sources. Accordingly, in order to reduce the uncertainty of the production capacity of renewable energy sources, it is tried to use these sources in a combined manner. In this article, a method is introduced to determine the appropriate combination of renewable energy sources in order to reduce the uncertainty of their production power. In this method, the average, standard deviation, and the histogram related to the production power of the hybrid structure are obtained, and based on this, a structure with less uncertainty is determined. The proposed method has been used to determine the appropriate structure of renewable units in Bushehr region. Manuscript profile

        In today's competitive world, the ability to recognize predict customer demand is an important issue for the success of organizations. And since ATMs are one of the most important channels for cash distribution and one of the most fundamental criteria for assessing the level of service to banks,In this paper, the number of referrers to ATM devices is reviewed based on the timing and location of the devices. This article seeks to find a dynamic and functional model for predicting the number of referrers to each ATM depending on the time and location of the device. Hence, 378 ATM machines were used throughout the city of Tehran for a time period of one month, containing 69,418 records. Finally, with the help of clustering of statistical data in spatial and temporal dimensions, this model finally succeeds in learning the pattern in the macro data, and based on the decision tree, the predictor can predict the number of referents to each device, which after the algorithm is presented. In order to improve the quality of banking services and improve the performance of the ATM network, it is proposed to combine the optimal location of ATMs in spatial and temporal dimensions.

        A literature search failed to identify a preferred definition of organizational excellence. While manyclaim to know its meaning and may indeed profess to be working towards the achievement ofexcellence, few give the same definition. Despite this, the term “excellence” is widely used within thepublic sector. This problem exists more in the public sector than in other sectors and is more in HRMthan in other organizational departments.In this paper, we develop an approach based on the Fuzzy Delphi Technique (FDT) to model humanresource excellence (HRE) in the Iranian public sector. We efficiently apply the new definition ofexcellence in HRM. The HRE conceptual model is formed based on literature reviews and expertsopinions collected using FDT. The HRE model is formed on four dimensions and 57 criteria and isproposed for HRM pathology and Iranian National awards in public sectors. The proposed model hasbeen efficiently been applied on a large scale in Iran for the evaluation of existing and developing HRcapabilities Manuscript profile

        This paper presents an alternative to the standard mean-variance efficient frontier model underpinningmodern portfolio theory applications. We present a more practical alternative - A Mean-Semivarianceefficient frontier - that takes into consideration advances in “Post Modern Portfolio Theory” as it pertains toasset allocation. The implications for advisors and planners are profound:An investor’s minimal acceptable return is a critical determinant of their optimal portfolio;Efficient frontiers need not be continuous, reflecting the realities of market behavior and demonstratedvolatility;This new method for calculating frontiers is a preferred device for developing strategic asset allocations.What is so efficient about the “efficient frontier?” The Markowitz (1952) model is employed to determinethe optimal mix of risky securities. This methodology involves determining what the minimum riskcombination of securities or asset classes is for a given return. Risk, in this context, is defined as the standarddeviation of returns of a composite portfolio. By plotting these risk-return combinations, an “efficientfrontier” is generated (with the “efficient” part being the upper boundary). Is this really the preferred way tolook at risk and use it in portfolio selection? If it is not, then is this frontier really “efficient?”In this paper we have modified the traditional Markowitz paradigm by redefining risk. The definition of riskwe employ in this paper is “Semi-Standard Deviation” instead of “Standard Deviation”. Then we haveconstructed efficient frontier for top fifty securities of Tehran stock exchange using Downside Risk approachor “Mean-Semivariance” method. In this research we achieved more efficient frontier using this method thanthe traditional one. Manuscript profile

        5 - Analysis of Hydrodynamic Behavior of Windbreaks in the Average Internal Temperature of Semi-Warm and Arid Climates in Kashan with the Aim of Greater Efficiency

        One of the ways to achieve a building with higher energy efficiency and an efficient system is to use local architectural experiences. In the meantime, a windbreak is one of the elements used in the past to create comfort in Kashan's hot and dry climates. The interior of these settlements in this climate aims to greater efficiency of this element by CFD software, Energy Plus, and Open Studio with a descriptive-analytical method and then analyzed the results.  It has water spray, and one of the leading causes of temperature drop in these wind deflectors is the proportionality of the dimensions-the air inlet valve to the wind deflector, water temperature, dimensions, and height of the wind deflector column. Iranian indigenous architecture's interaction with the climate is a deep and ancient interaction that has long been using its experiences and techniques to create an architecture with maximum energy savings in Iran's climatic areas. The process of formation of these techniques in the length of time and in order to adapt to the climate while utilizing the natural force in the environment has created a suitable natural space for users. Innovative technology reduces the long-standing concern of architects in saving and optimizing energy consumption in buildings. In the meantime, the windbreak is one of the elements used in the past to create comfort in Kashan's hot and dry climates. They were used to move and cool the air in the building. The primary function of the wind deflectors was to direct the outside air into the building, relative cooling by establishing a flow at work and people living in different cities and places. Research has proven that the wind deflector is a suitable device for natural ventilation of the indoor air to reduce the internal temperature of the building and create thermal comfort for the residents. Traditional windbreaks are correctly designed according to the day's needs and have been widely used in hot and dry areas of Iran. What is certain is that the use of this element in today's world requires its adaptation to today's life. Today's cities and buildings have different faces, and windbreaks are limited. And analyze how it operates in terms of form and function. Comparison of the results of the analysis of wind speed in wind turbines and how the wind is oriented in the interior shows. Due to the low thermal mass of the windbreak walls compared to the room, the temperature fluctuation is always higher than the room. To reduce the room temperature further, the priority is to use a spray windshield over windshield wipers. Especially, windshields with water spray in which most of the room has a temperature of 298 K are approximately equal to 25 degrees Celsius and are in Kashan city's thermal comfort range. One of the main factors in this Temperature drop proportionality of dimensions- air inlet valve to the windshield, water temperature, measurements, and height of the windshield column.

        Cities as the most complex human-made manifestations face a wide range of risks due to a wide range of hazards and multiple vulnerabilities.Natural disasters have always been a major challenge in achieving sustainable development of human societies. As a result, ways to achieve this development have become necessary through vulnerability reduction models. Today, disaster management and sustainable development perspectives and perspectives seek to create resilient societies against natural hazards. Hence, according to many researchers, resilience is one of the most important issues for achieving sustainability. Resilience is a way to strengthen societies by using its capacities, and different definitions, approaches, indicators, and measurement models have been developed. The view that has existed in disaster management and urban management has long been the focus of coping and mitigation. In the meantime, the concept of resilience is a new concept that is used more in the face of unknowns and uncertainties. It can be said that the domain of literature on hazards and disruptions has changed in a paradigm shift from (hazard assessment) to (vulnerability analysis). It can be understood that the system can absorb and manage risks ). The framework for the Hyogo plan was approved by the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR) on January 22, 2005, which is a positive move in this regard. This research is aimed at: the attempt to explain the components and characteristics of resilient constructivism and to determine the contribution of factors affecting the resilience strengthening, Emphasis on recognition of different levels of resilience of individuals and groups of society, efforts to provide solutions to reduce the natural disasters of earthquakes in urban areas.Considering the study and explanation of the relationship between urban community resilience to reduce the effects of natural disasters, especially earthquakes, in order to better understand the resilience dimensions and strategies for risk reduction policies, the four dimensions of the resiliency approach have been investigated. The purpose of this study was to analyze Indicators and resiliency measures, explanation of different models of resilient measurements, survey of resilience of Mashhad 9th district in accordance with selected indicators in resiliency. 9 area of Mashhad municipality in terms of accumulation of main branch faults Mashhad is of high importance in terms of crisis. Therefore, after analyzing the indices in the field of resonance and measuring these indices in the region and comparing them with the optimum level, the numerical value of the area's resilience was calculated using the average distance of the optimal range. In this The three dimensions of social, economic, and spatial dimensions were studied and the numerical values of the IIF, DSF and URF indices were calculated. Finally, the numerical value of the resilience of the area was 0.89, which shows a rather resilient state. Given the degree of resilience The weaknesses in the area were studied in the indexes and crisis in the economic dimension was strongly observed. At the end, suggestions are also given to maintain and improve desirable indicators and to improve desirable indices. Manuscript profile

        A bipolar fuzzy set is a powerful tool for depicting fuzziness and uncertainty. This model is more flexible and practical as compared to the fuzzy model. We define certain notions, including a bipolar fuzzy number and bipolar fuzzy arithmetic. In this paper we propose the new fuzzy arithmetic operations based on on bipolar fuzzy numbers from [1,2]. We define 2- dipole fuzzy numbers and cutting them. The properties of these propose operations and their fundamental qualities are discussed in detail. Several illustrative examples were given to show the accomplishment and ability of the proposed method. At the end it is shown that the solution of the proposed method in comparison to other methods of solving fuzzy equations are more realistic, that is, they have smaller support. Further, we analyze our new approach to find the solutions of a bipolar fuzzy linear equations. In this paper, in addition to familiarity with bipolar fuzzy number operations based on transmission- average and presenting practical solutions for calculations in specific cases, this problem is identified.

        In this paper, the new concept of non-autonomous iterated function system is introduced and also shown that non-autonomous iterated function system IFS(f_(1,∞)^0,f_(1,∞)^1) is topologically transitive for the metric space of X whenever the system has average shadowing property and its minimal points on X are dense. Moreover, such a system is topologically transitive, whenever, there is a point like z∈U for each open and invariant set U from X so that N(z,U) has a positive upper density. It is also shown that topological transitivity is result of properties of shadowing and chain transitivity. The relation between average shadowing property , topological transitivity and chaotic non-autonomous iterated function system is studied .Moreover, it is also demonstrated that the first two conditions for the definition of chaos results the third condition. The topological mixing of such a system is obtained from shadowing property and chain mixing. Finally, we evaluated that the dynamical system (X, f) has Li-York e chaos under special conditions Manuscript profile

        Today, neuroscientists are interested in discovering human brain functions through brain networks. In this regard, the evaluation of dynamic changes in functional connectivity of the brain regions by using functional magnetic resonance imaging data has attracted their attention. In this paper, we focus on two model-based approaches, called the exponential weighted moving average model and the dynamic conditional correlation model, to estimate the dynamic correlation between the two brain regions. Initially, the performance of these two models is evaluated using two new simulations. According to the results, in these simulation studies, the dynamic conditional correlation model has better performance than the exponential weighted moving average model. Therefore, a dynamic conditional correlation model is used to estimate the dynamic functional connectivity of two brain regions (the anterior cingulate cortex and the posterior cingulate cortex) for three Iranian addicted to methamphetamine in a resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging. The dynamic conditional correlation model has a good performance in assessing the dynamic functional connectivity of these addicted to methamphetamine. In addition, the dynamic functional connectivity varies between subjects. Manuscript profile

        The intelligent LINEX k-means clustering is a generalization of the k-means clustering so that the number of clusters and their related centroid can be determined while the LINEX loss function is considered as the dissimilarity measure. Therefore, the selection of the centers in each cluster is not randomly. Choosing the LINEX dissimilarity measure helps the researcher to overestimate or underestimate the centers which helps to assign some entities into a special cluster. We check the performance of the algorithm on some real and artificial datasets and evaluate the results according to some internal and external indexes. Manuscript profile

        The concept of configuration of groups which is defined in terms of finite partitions and finite strings of elements of the group is presented by Rosenblatt and Willis. To each set of configurations, a finite system of equations known as configuration equations, is associated. Rosenblatt and Willis proved that a discrete group G is amenable if and only if every possible instance of its configuration equations admits a normalized solution. In this paper we compare the existence of such solutions for different systems. We prove that if a system of configuration equations has no normalized solution, then every system related to a refinement of the initial partition, has no normalized solution, as well. The Tarski number of a non-amenable group is the smallest number of the pieces of its paradoxical decompositions. In the present paper we also provide a relation between the Tarski numbers of the subgroups of two configuration equivalent groups. Manuscript profile

        One of the most important concerns of investors in financial markets is choosing a share or stock portfolio that is optimal in terms of profitability. To this end, there are many ways in which the stock portfolio has been chosen. The optimal portfolio selection is a portfolio management goal. In this dissertation, the DEA technique has been used as a new and reliable way to select the stock optimal stock. In this thesis, the risk of different orders, average returns, return variances, higher torque are considered as output variables. It will also be possible to take into account the priorities for increases in risk ignored by DEA in applied studies but discussed in economic theory. Finally, in this research, 278 companies were evaluated in 50 stock portfolios during the 5-year period, which is evaluated by 3 models, one for higher returns, one for lower risk and one for a combination of these two methods has meant greater returns and less risk. Also, baskets number 6 and 8 ranked best in the first, second and third models. . Manuscript profile

        In this paper we defined the concept of module amenability of Banach algebras and module connes amenability of module dual Banach algebras.Also we assert the concept of module Arens regularity that is different with [1] and investigate the relation between module amenability of Banach algebras and connes module amenability of module second dual Banach algebras.In the following we studythe relation between module amenability, weak module amenability and module approximate amenability of Banach algebra. The notation of amenability of Banach algebras was introduced by B.Johnsonin [7]. A Banach algebra A is amenable if every bounded derivation from Ainto any dual Banach A-bimodule is inner, equivalently if H(A;X) = 0 for any Banach A-bimodule X, where H(A;X) is the first Hochschild co-homology group of A with coefficient in X. Also, a Banach algebra A isweakly amenable if H(A;A) = 0. Bade, Curtis and Dales introduced the notion of weak amenability on Banach algebras in [4]. They considered this concept only for commutative Banach algebras. After that Johnson defined the weak amenability for arbitrary Banach algebras. Manuscript profile

        In 1969, DeMarr proved that a commuting family of non-expansive mappings on a nonempty convex compact subset of a Banach space has a fixed point. Takahashi extended DeMarr’s theorem to the case of discrete amenable semi-groups. In recent years, considerable research has been devoted to the theory of fixed points as well as common fixed points. In the case of semi-topological semi-groups (that is, a semi-group with a Hausdorff topology such that the multiplication is separately continuous), Lau and Zhang studied DeMarr’s theorem under more general conditions for example in the case of the amenability of the space of almost periodic functions as well as the space of weakly almost periodic functions. In this paper, we study several fixed point properties of the mean non-expansive semi-topological semi-groups acting on nonempty convex weakly compact subsets of a locally convex space as well as give extensions of the results of Lau and Zhang.

        ABSTRACT:The current definition of the derivative makes the set of differentiable functions much smaller than the set of continuous functions, such that most of the real single variable functions are not differentiable and the surveying the rate of their growth is not possible with the available definition. In the present paper, using Caratheodory definition, we extend the set of differentiable functions by introducing a definition for generalized differentiation of a single variable function and its generalized derivative, in such a way that the validity of the basic theorems of this theory such as Rolle's theorem, Cauchy's mean value theorem, mean value theorem and Taylor's theorem would be hold.

        In this paper we use stochastic differential equation for estimating the long run equilibrium of the stock prices, the speed of reverting to the mean of the stock prices and the half-life of the stock prices of the selected firms (about 24 active firms) in Tehran Stock Exchange. We use the stock price data of the selected firms to see if the stock prices of these firms have Unit roots tests. For firms which their stock prices are stationary, without unit roots, we follow an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck stochastic differential equation to estimate the half-life of the stock returns of the selected firm. For firms which their stock prices have got the unit root, we use Geometric Brownian Motion for estimation. The results show that most of the studied companies have a reversible behavior to a long-term average and a half-life of stock prices is estimated to be from 3 to 30 weeks. The estimation of the half-life of the stock prices of the selected firms will provide valuable information for the investors and other agents active in the stock markets. Manuscript profile

        Let $B(H)$ be the $C^*$-algebra of all bounded linear operators on a complex Hilbert spaces $H$. Ando, Li and Mathias introduced a generalized geometric mean for $n$ positive definite operators. This geometric mean $G(A_{1},A_{2},dots ,A_{n})$ of any $n$-tuple of positive definite operators $mathbb{A}=(A_1,dots,A_n)$ is defined by induction.(i) $G(A_{1},A_{2})$ =$A_{1}sharp A_{2}$ (ii) Assume that the geometric mean any $(n-1)$-tuple of operators is defined. Let [G ((A_j)_{jneq i })= G(A_{1},A_{2},dots,A_{i-1},A_{i+1},dots,A_{n}), ] and let sequences ${mathbb{A}_{i}^{(r)}} _{r=1}^{infty}$ be $mathbb{A}_{i}^{(1)}= A_{i}$ and $ mathbb{A}_{i}^{(r+1)}=G((mathbb{A}_{j}^{(r)})_{jneq i }) $. If there exists $ lim_{rrightarrowinfty}{mathbb{A}_{i}^{(r)}} $, and it does not depend on $i$. Hence the geometric mean of $n$-operators is defined by begin{equation*} lim_{rrightarrowinfty}{mathbb{A}_{i}^{(r)}} = G((mathbb{A}))=G(A_{1},A_{2},dots,A_{n}) text{ for } i= 1,dots,n. end{equation*} We shall show a reverse inequality for the generalized geometric mean defined by Ando-Li-Mathias for $n$ positive definite operators, as follows: Let $Phi$ be a unital positive linear map on $B(H)$ and $r(A)$ be the spectral radius of $A$, then begin{align*} Phi(G(A_1,dots,A_n))geqleft(frac{2h}{1+h^2}right)^{n-1}G(Phi(A_1),dots,Phi(A_n)), end{align*} where $R(A_i, A_j)=max{r(A_i^{-1}A_j) ,r(A_j^{-1}A_i)}$ and $h=min_{i,j} R(A_i, A_j)$.The Karcher mean, also called the Riemannian mean, Recently it has been used in a diverse variety of settings:diffusion tensors in medical imaging and radar, covariance matrices in statistics, kernels in machine learning andelasticity. We also give a reverse inequality for the weighted power mean of $n$ positive definite operators involving unital positive linear maps. Manuscript profile

        Investigating the mean ergodicity of composition operators on various Banach Spaces has always been of interest to mathematicians and many authors studied this topics intensively, in many different spaces, such as, the space of all holomorphic functions on unit disk, Hardy space and Bloch space. In this paper, for a self map of the unit disk, φ and λ∈ℂ, we consider weighted composition operator, (λ𝐶φ)𝑓=λ𝑓𝑜φ , for every 𝑓 in Bloch space and Little Bloch space and inquiry the conditions under which the weighted composition operator 𝜆𝐶𝜑, is mean ergodic or uniformly mean ergodic on the Bloch and Little Bloch Space. In fact, we will show, if |λ|>1,𝜆𝐶𝜑, cannot be power bounded, mean ergodic or uniformly mean ergodic, in contrast, if |λ|<1, 𝜆𝐶𝜑, is always power bounded, mean ergodic or uniformly mean ergodic. In the case, |λ|=1, we will see that it depends directly to the Denjoy-Wolff point of 𝜑. Manuscript profile

        In recent years a new type of tradable assets appeared, generically known as cryptocurrencies. Some of them are widespread and global. This paper examines the volatility of cryptocurrencies, with particular attention to their potential long memory properties. Three different long-memory methods (R/S analysis, fractional integration and fractional GARCH extensions) are used to analyze it in the case of the four main cryptocurrencies (BitCoin, Ethereum, LiteCoin and Ripple) over the sample period January 2013– November 2019. Our results are twofold. First, R/S method is prone to detect long memory whereas the findings of ARFIMA and GARCH type models indicate that in the case of two examined cryptocurrencies (BitCoin and Ethereum), long memory exist (there is a positive correlation between its past and future values). Such predictability represents evidence of market inefficiency in their markets: trend trading strategies can be used to generate abnormal profits in these markets. Although our findings show that returns of Litecoin and Ripple don’t have a significant long memory. Manuscript profile

        In this article investigate the herd behavior of stock prices inTehran stock exchange with the Heston model. Basing on parameter estimation of the Heston model obtained by minimizing the mean square deviation between the theoretical and empirical return distributions, we simulate mean residence time of positive return.Plots of mean residence time of positive return against the amplitude or mean reversion of volatility demonstrate a phenomenon of herd behavior for a positive cross correlation between noise sources of the Heston model. Also, for a negative cross correlation, a phenomenon of herd behavior is observed in plots of mean residence time of positive return (MRTPR) against the long-run variance by increasing amplitude or mean reversion of volatility. From the simulating results of MRTPR, we observe that (i) when MRTPR is regarded as a function of the amplitude of volatility fluctuation c, there is a phenomenon of the herd behavior for a positive cross correlation between two Wiener processes of stock price and volatility (i.e., λ > 0); (ii) when MRTPR is regarded as a function of mean reversion a, there is a phenomenon of the herd behavior for our considered values of b and c under λ > 0; (iii) increasing a or c induces a phenomenon of the herd behavior under λ < 0 when MRTPR is regarded as a function of mean reversion b.

        The Stock Market is one of the main pillars of the financial market. Increasing the analytical power of capital market investors is one of the factors that play an effective role in the development of such a market. Many investors use technical analysis to make their trading decisions. In this study, the efficiency of buying stocks of insurance companies in Tehran Stock Exchange was examined by Technical Analysis which includes Stochastic Oscillator, Exponential Moving Average, and Hull Moving Average. Then, the study compares Technical Analysis with Buy and Hold Method. To do this, the trading positions that created based on daily periods for 14 insurance companies in Tehran Stock Exchange between 2017:3 and 2019:9 have been reviewed and compared with the Buy and Hold Method. Results indicate that the quarterly returns getting by Technical Method are positive in overall, and the number of trades with negative returns is less than the number of trades with positive returns. Similarly, the average return on a trade with a loss has always been lower than the average return with a profit. Moreover, the number of days with negative returns was less than the number of days with positive returns in all insurance companies. Findings show that using Technical Method was more profitable than the Buy and Hold Method in all companies which have been investigated. Manuscript profile

        This paper develops a fuzzy portfolio selection problem that minimizes conditional value-at-risk (CVaR) and estimates CVaR by fuzzy credibility theory and also calculates expected return by fuzzy credibility mean. Using fuzzy techniques makes the model more precise and accurate due to uncertainty of financial data. The use of CVaR helps investors make better decisions because it indicates the size of loss. This study considers some constraints for model including liquidity, cardinality, minimum and maximum investment proportion. The liquidity constraint is measured by turnover of each asset as a trapezoidal fuzzy number. The liquidity constraint converts to a linear constraint by using fuzzy credibility theory. Using CVaR as a risk measurement and efficient constraints makes the model appropriate and adequate for portfolio selection. Finally, a numerical example is provided by 10 stocks chosen from Tehran Stock Exchange Market in 2015 and it shows the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed model Manuscript profile

In the process, they are looking for stock options that have the maximum benefits. In the investment process, succeeding and earring profit, without proper analysis and having knowledge of the stock market situations, is not possible, so each investor should then review and analyze stocks, start to buy and sell them Thus In this study were investigated efficient technical strategies containing exponential moving average (EMA) and relative strength index (RSI) and hybrid method hybrid method EMA&RSI with buy and hold method in order to buy stocks. According to daily and weekly, signals were extracted from 16 investments companies in Tehran Stock Exchange for five years 2000 to 2015 and was compared with buy and hold method.

        Traditional models do not have sufficient ability to predict the return on investor portfolio due to changes in the external environment (systematic risk) and the internal environment (non-systematic) and this is mainly due to the identification of the explanatory variables and the experimental design of the model.Therefore, the present research, while explaining this issue and in order to adjust the uncertainty problem of the model, by averaging all the models (Bayesian averaging), has determined the effective risks on stock returns in Iran.The present study expresses this failure in identifying explanatory variables and empirical model design. The statistical sample of the research includes 138 listed companies in the period 1390 to 1399.In this study, 62 risks affecting stock returns in the form of 31 indicators in the field of systematic risk and 31 non-systematic indicators entered into nonlinear Bayesian models with time-varying parameters.The results show that among BMA, TVP-DMA, TVP-DMS, BVAR and OLS models, the TVP-DMA model is the most efficient model. According to the TVP-DMA model, 10 non-fragile risks include systematic risks (real GDP growth rate, unofficial market currency, inflation rate, interest rate) non-systematic risks (instantaneous ratio, liabilities, cash flows from operations, return on equity, debt ratio, and price-to-earnings ratio) as the most important risks affecting stock returns. All the mentioned risks, except interest rate and debt ratio, have a positive effect on stock returns. Manuscript profile

        In this paper, the stock portfolio of active companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange is optimized based on the combined model of omega ratio and mean-variance Markowitz (MVOF). For this purpose, 480 companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange during the years 1390 to 1399 were selected and based on the input data, the companies were filtered. Hence a combined method consisting of trading rules optimization method based on technical analysis (6 indicators RSI, ROC, SMA, EMA, WMA and MACD) and two-level collective learning machine (SVM, RF, BN, MLP and KNN) for Data training and purchase signal presentation were addressed. Therefore, 85 companies were selected to optimize the stock portfolio. To teach the data, 85 companies filtered by the combined method were used and the number of different classes with 50 learners was used. The results show that using the OF model compared to the MVF model has the highest stock portfolio returns during the years 1395 to 1399. While the MVF model has the lowest investment risk. As a result, by combining the above models, the stock portfolio return in this method is much higher than other methods. While the investment risk was lower. Therefore, if the MVOF model is used, the return on the stock portfolio will increase and the investment risk in it will decrease. Manuscript profile

Stock market trend changes depends on supply and demand rule and other macroeconomic forces in the market circumstance. Non liner and full swing process makes it hard to predict future stock price. Traditional statistical techniques and models cannot explain seasonal and non-station time series data in stock markets. Hidden markov model has widely used in the way of predicting statistical time series. It extensively has used in such majors as speech recognition and DNA sequencing and also it can be used in order to next stock price prediction.

        The purpose of this research is to present a portfolio optimization model within the framework of uncertainty theory. To estimate the return on assets, a prospective approach was used based on expert opinions. Also, a different risk-based approach based on uncertainty (chance model) was used to model risk. The theory used to model the uncertainty in model parameters is the uncertainty theory. The team of experts involved in this research was required to complete the required information on the projections used, including 30 managers of the portfolio of active investment funds in the Tehran Stock Exchange. In the end, to demonstrate the applicability, the model was designed in Tehran Stock Exchange and according to the nonlinear nature of the model, the hyper bacterial method of the genetic algorithm was used to solve it. Finally, by generating randomized portfolios and comparing them with the optimal portfolio for solving the model, we conclude that the optimized portfolio achieves a higher level of efficiency while delivering better performance.

        forecasting price movements is a challenging issue. So different statistical arbitrage strategies are devised to trade in exchanges. Some of these strategies are market neutral. Market neutral strategies are neutral to market movements and make profits in any situation. These strategies use long and short positions at the same time and this makes them unusable in exchanges like Tehran stock exchange that only long position is available. Purpose of this paper is devising a market neutral statistical arbitrage strategy which can be used in Tehran stock exchange. In devising this strategy we use principal component analysis to estimate market movements and calculate stocks idiosyncratic movements. To forecasting stocks idiosyncratic movements, which have mean reverting properties, we use Ornstein-uhlenbeck model. The strategy made 35% average annual return by considering transaction cost which is more than Tehran exchange index in the study period. results show this method is a good framework for devising statistical arbitrage strategies.

        The ARIMA model is a precise forecasting model for short time periods, but the limitation of a large amount of historical data is required. However, in our society, due to uncertainty and rapid development of new technology, we usually have to forecast future situations using little data in a short span of time. The historical data must be less than what the ARIMA model employs which limits its application. The fuzzy regression is able to forecast model which is suitable for the uncertain condition and with little attainable historical data. But the results of this model cannot be encouraging because the spread is wide in some cases. The researchers do try to combine the advantages of the fuzzy regression and ARIMA models to formulate the FARIMA model and to overcome the limitations of the fuzzy regression and ARIMA model. Therefore, in this study, a synthetic fuzzy auto regressive integrated moving average (FARIMA) is employed to forecast crude oil price. The findings show that the proposed method can get more satisfactory results. Manuscript profile

        Soil structure is of great importance from both crop production and water resources management point of views. Since soil structure is often expressed qualitatively, the so-called fractal geometry, as a novel method, can be used to describe the soil structure in a quantitative manner. Using fractal concept and its comparison with the classical aggregate stability methods can assist to better understanding of soil structure. This research was aimed to quantitatively assess the soil aggregate stability by using some fractal and classical models. To attain this purpose, a number 30 soil samples were collected from topsoil of an agricultural area. Then, the mean weight diameter MWD and geometric mean diameter GMD of soil samples were determined by using wet and dry sieving method. The fractal dimensions of soil samples were determined for four fractal models including the number-size and mass-size of Rieu and Sposito, number-size of Mandelbrot, and mass-size of Tyler and Wheatcraft. Results indicated that the range of fractal dimensions for mass-size model of Rieu and Sposito in dry condition varies from 2.86 to 2.92 and in wet condition from 2.90 to 2.99., this range for Tyler and Wheatcraft model was 2.52 to 2.78 and 2.24 to 2.55, for dry and wet conditions, respectively. Results further showed that for the number-size model of Rieu and Sposito the fractal dimension varied from 2.77 to 3.59 in the dry and from 2.35 to 3.18 in wet conditions. These ranges for Mandelbrot model were obtained to be 2.89 to 3.72 and 2.21 to 3.22 for the dry and wet sieves, respectively. The largest standard deviation was obtained for MWD, while the lowest belonged to the mass-size model of Rieu and Sposito. The obtained results further indicated that by increasing the fractal dimension, aggregate stability decreases and aggregate instability tend to increase. It can be then concluded that by using fractal dimensions one can more precisely describe the aggregate stability compares to the classical methods. Manuscript profile

        Study of climate change helps in the management of water resources and agricultural production. Temperature increase is one of the most definite aspects of climate change. Limited number of weather stations and the quality and duration of records of weather variables are among the most important limiting factors in climate change studies. Application of gridded regional/global datasets is a promising option to overcome these limitations. In this study, temporal trends in annual, seasonal and monthly averages of daily minimum, mean and maximum temperatures were analysed using the data obtained from the CRU TS 4.01 gridded dataset and the Mann-Kendall (MK) test. The results show that over 1987-2016 (second period), long-term national annual average of daily mean temperature has increased by 0.4-1.2 °C across the country as compared to 1957-1986 (first period). Over the last here decades, temporal trend in annual average daily mean temperature was estimated at 0.39 °C.dec-1 (1.17 °C increase in 30 years). The observed increase in daily minimum temperature (1.23 °C in 30 years) over the second period was larger than the increase observed in daily mean temperature. Analysis of temporal trends in seasonal averages reveals that winter and spring, especially in the west and northwest, experienced the strongest positive trends over the last three decades. The results of this study confirm the occurrence of significant temperature changes in winter, spring and summer, which are important to the country’s agriculture sector. Manuscript profile

        Background and objectives: Adding organic matter to the soil is an important method to solve the problem of compaction and consequently penetration resistance and fertility reduction. Mushroom substrate compost (MSC) has many properties that are required for growing organic crops and environmental management. Considering that the ingredients of mushroom substrate compost (including heavy soil, light soil, root soil, wheat straw and stubble, limestone and chicken manure) are different from other types of organic materials, it is necessary to carry out new research to investigate its effect on the physico-chemical properties of the soil. Although different textures behave differently but, the effect of MSC on the penetration resistance and aggregates size distribution in different soils, has not been studied, so far. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the short-term effect of MSC on the penetration resistance, mean weight diameter of aggregates, aggregates size distribution and organic matter content in three soil types. Materials and methods: A factorial experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with three replications.  Factors consist Soil texture at three levels (sandy loam, loam and clay) was the first factor, and MSC at three levels (0, 3 and 6% W/W) was the second factor. After treatment of the soils, samples were then incubated for 120 days, and they were saturated and dried with urban water, regularly, once a month (saturated from above), during this period. At the end of the incubation period, disturbed and undisturbed soil samples were taken by 5 cm in diameter and 4.5 cm in height steal cylinders. The penetration resistance was measured by a micro-penetrometer on the core samples at the matric suction of 0.3 bar. Organic matter, mean weight diameter of aggregates and aggregates size distribution were measured. Results: The results showed that the use of 6% level mushroom substrate compost in the sandy loam soil caused a decrease in the penetration resistance compared to the level of 3% and the control, due to the interaction between the compounds in the compost and the creation of stable soil aggregates. Also, the results showed that highest amount of organic matter and mean weight diameter of aggregates at 6% level of MSC was found in loam texture. Also, the order of the mass of aggregates in classes 4-8 and 2-4 mm, was in loam> sandy loam> clay, with significant differences between the textures. Application of MSC at 3 and 6% levels in the loam texture significantly increased the mass of aggregates of 0.25 – 0.5 and 0.5-1 mm in comparison with control. These aggregates did not show significant differences in sandy loam and clay soils at different application levels of the MSC. Organic matter, mean weight diameter of aggregates, mass of aggregates of 0.5 to 1, and 0.25 to 0.5 mm increased in the range of 27 to 66%, 16 to 34.5%, 4 to 117.5% and 4 to 170%, respectively, by increasing MSC application levels at different soils. Conclusion: This compost is different from other modifiers and can have different effective mechanisms in different textures. The simultaneous addition of lime, clay and organic matter (through compost) to soils with different textures causes cation exchange reactions in the soil. Lime as one of the main additives that has the ability to improve the behavior of fine-grained soils has been noticed for a long time. In this way, in clay and loam soils, the interaction between lime and clay with organic matter plays an important role as soil accumulation factors by forming cationic bridges. The use of lime and gypsum directly improve soil resistance. Therefore, the use of mushroom substrate compost in agricultural lands is useful for improving the soil structure. Manuscript profile

        Little is known about the long term effects of nanoparticles on soil properties. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the three years effects of nanoparticles on aggregate stability and some of the soil chemical properties. Different amounts (1, 3 and 5 percentage by weight) of two types of nanoparticle of metal oxides, MgO and Fe3O4 were mixed with a loamy soil in three replications and their possible effects on different properties of the soil after three years were investigated. The results showed that application of nanoparticles, increased the pH of the soil from 7.7 in the control to 8.1- 9.3 and the electrical conductivity from 0.31 in the control to 0.34 -0.56 dSm-1, due to the increase in the alkali cations. The percentage of calcium carbonate increased from 19.75% in the control to 20.5-22.7% due to the accumulation of nanoparticles in the soil, with the highest increase in three variables with 5% magnesium nano oxide. 3% nano iron oxide significantly increased the cation exchange capacity from 23.50 in the control to 24.28 cmolc/kgsoil. Also the nanoparticles increased the mean weight diameter, due to their high specific surface area, with the greater effect of magnesium nano oxide (increased from 33 to 1242 percentage compared to the control) than iron nano oxide (increased from 97 to 173 percentage compared to the control). In general, the results of this study showed that, nanoparticles with specific physico-chemical properties can affect some properties of soil. Manuscript profile

        Recently, biochar has been considered as a soil conditioner. In research, the effect of the type and amount of biochar on soil properties has been emphasized. This field study was conducted to investigate the combined effect of type, amount and size of biochar particles on the total porosity (TP), penetration resistance (PR), mean weight diameter of aggregates (MWD) in a sandy loam texture. Factorial experiment was performed as a randomized complete block design with three factors of type, amount and biochar particle size in three replications. Wheat straw, vermicompost and apricot firewood biochard were added to the soil in 0.5, 1.5 and 3% and particle sizes of 0.5, 0.5-1 and 1-2 mm. All three biochar increased TP significantly and decreased PR significantly compared to control. Biochar type had the largest contribution in TP and PR changes. The highest TP was obtained in the wheat straw biochar treatment with 3% and particle size of 1-2 mm. The greatest decrease in PR was observed in wheat straw biochar with a value of 3% and a particle size of 0.5-1 mm. Interaction of type, amount and size of biochar particles had the largest contribution to MWD change. The largest MWD (1.22 mm) was observed in wheat straw biochar with biochar amount of 0.5% and particle size of 0.5 mm. The results showed that the amount and size of biochar particles had different effects on soil properties depending on the type of biochar. Manuscript profile

        Background and Aim: In recent years, some farmers in the plains of Saman in the province of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari have changed the use of almond orchards in this area to agricultural land and pastures in order to provide food and fodder. Since these activities are mostly carried out without sufficient knowledge of the soil environment, there can be a serious threat to reduce soil quality. Therefore, studies on the effect of different managements on different soil characteristics and in the direction of a sustainable soil resource are very important. In this research, the effect of land use change in these areas on some physical and chemical indicators of soil quality was investigated.Methods:In order to investigate the effect of land use change on some physical and chemical indicators of the soil quality of three land use systems comprising a permanent almond orchard, permanent pasture and almond orchard converted to land were selected in the plain of Saman. 15 samples of soil (45 samples in total) were taken from 0 to 30 cm in the form of networks (30 x 30 meters) in each of the three land use systems considered. Some physical and chemical parameters of studied soil samples measured by standard methods.After collecting and saving data in Excel, a one-side analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed on using the SPSS18 software and the comparison of the means was also carried out on the basis of the LSD test at a probability level of 1%.Results:The results of analysis of variance data showed that changing land use (changing of almond orchards to agricultural land) had significant effect on the indeces examined physical and chemical of at 0.01 level. The Land use change did not change the surface soil texture of the study areas. The soil texture of all three-study system was almost the same (clay loam inclined to sandy clay loam). According to the findings of the mean comparison, when almond orchards were converted to agricultural land, there was a significant reduction in total porosity, mean weighted diameter of soil aggregates (MWD), base infiltration rate, and soil organic carbon by 12%, 56%, 50%, and 54%, respectively. Conversely, there was a notable increase of 10%, 5%, 44%, and 18% in bulk density, pH, electrical conductivity, and soil lime percentage at a significance level of 0.01 (pr<0.01).In this study, substituting improved pasture plants with land grazed pasture significantly augmented the average of soil organic carbon, total porosity, solidity of soil aggregates (MWD) and base infiltration rate by 48%, 14%, 69%, and 40%, respectively, as compared to agricultural land at a significance level of 0.01 (pr<0.01). However, no significant difference was observed at a significance level of 0.01 (pr>0.01) between almond orchard and pasture land concerning the evaluated indicators.Conclusion:Overall, the parameters analyzed indicate that organic carbon, mean weighted diameter of soil aggregates (MWD), and bulk density are reliable indicators of soil quality in the study area. The average values of these indicators provide an optimal alternative for management and tillage practices in various land uses. Moreover, due to the delicate and vulnerable ecosystems of Saman Plain, it is recommended to avoid converting garden lands (such as almond orchards) into agricultural lands within the study area. This approach will help prevent soil erosion in one of the most sensitive areas of the country. Manuscript profile

        Background and Aim: Drought is a global phenomenon that can occur anywhere and cause significant damage to humans and natural ecosystems. Therefore, the issue of hydrological drought and reduction of river flow in Ardabil province is also an important issue that requires a comprehensive study.Method: In this study, hydrological drought characteristics are using Severity-Duration-Frequency (SDF) curves considering four different threshold levels (constant, annual average, seasonal, and environmental flow) in 33 hydrometric stations in Ardabil province. The severities of drought events are calculated using Easy-Fit software in different return periods. In this regard, drought magnitude-duration-frequency curves are calculated and based on that, the values of drought events in different return periods are calculated and analyzed.Results: The highest drought event is determined for constant, seasonal, yearly, E-flow threshold levels in Samina, Mashiran, Booran, and Samian stations, respectively.  Also, the lowest occurrence of drought is associated with the Vildaragh station. The majority of drought events in all four aforementioned thresholds are mostly observed in shorter durations, especially within one-month periods. The Jonson_SB and General Extreme Value distributions were the most suitable statistical distributions. The highest intensity of drought increases with longer return periods associated with the average annual threshold level, and the lowest intensity of hydrological drought is linked to the threshold of environmental flow. The SDF curves for all stations demonstrate an increasing trend, indicating that with prolonged hydrological drought duration in all studied thresholds, the severity of hydrological drought occurrences also increases. The greatest intensity of hydrological drought is sequentially related to the annual threshold, followed by the seasonal threshold and the fixed threshold, with the threshold of environmental flow being the lowest and least. Consequently, for shorter return periods, the fixed threshold indicates greater intensity or magnitude compared to the seasonal threshold in all four stations, and for longer return periods, the seasonal threshold demonstrates higher intensity of drought events compared to the fixed threshold.Conclusion: Furthermore, it can be concluded that the magnitude of hydrological drought at a fixed threshold shows less variability in all four selected stations compared to the other thresholds. It should be noted that in defining drought based on fixed, annual, and seasonal thresholds, events will have a higher number and greater intensity compared to the environmental flow threshold. The spatial changes in drought intensity are depicted on the map, indicating that most droughts have occurred in stations located in the northern and north-western regions (Borran and Dostbiglou). Separating the effects of human and climatic factors in drought assessment is a suggestion from this study that could be considered in future research. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Drought is a natural and repeatable disasterwhich affects all climates. Because of the intrinsically dry climate and low precipitation in Sistan plain, the main water resources are surface water originated from a neighboring country. This study investigates the relationship between meteorological and hydrological drought in Sistan plain. Method: At first, meteorological and hydrological drought were investigated by indices including moving average, SPI and SDI in Sistan plain. Moreover, the relationship between them was evaluated for 45 years. Findings: Results show that indices of meteorological and hydrological droughts do not match with each other in the entire of the study period, but there is a significant relationship between them during dry years. It was also observed that a drought period started in 1999 and continued until 2012. Discussion and Conclusion: Therefore, due to low volume and high coefficient of variations of rainfall and vital role of surface flows in the supply of water in the plain, hydrological drought shows conditions of drought is better than the meteorological drought in Sistan plain.   Manuscript profile

        The issue of choosing a portfolio is a multi-objective issue; Therefore, the need to know the methods of solving portfolio selection models is of great importance. Ultra-innovative algorithms are new ideas that were introduced in this regard. The multi-objective SPEA2 algorithm is one of the algorithms that solves the portfolio optimization problem. The purpose of this study is to use the SPEA2 multi-objective algorithm to achieve the desired combination of petrochemical companies in the petrochemical portfolio. The objective functions of the problem under study include the two objectives of maximizing returns and minimizing risk. The statistical sample includes data of 900 days of 12 petrochemical companies allowed to operate from 1/12/94 to 12/12/98, which by transferring this data to MATLAB software, the logarithmic return each stock is calculated and is the input of SPEA2 algorithm. Then the SPEA2 algorithm is implemented for each of the models of Mean-Variance, Mean-Semi Variance, Mean-Absolute Deviation, Mean- Conditional Value at Risk and the weight of each stock and risk and return of each portfolio are calculated. Then, using SPSS software, the mean difference between risk and return of the models was tested. The results show that the returns obtained by SPEA2 algorithm under different risk models are not statistically significant; However, the portfolio risk created by the SPEA2 algorithm under the Conditional Value at Risk model is significantly different from other risk measures and shows more risk.

        AbstractThe study of banking crises in the world over time shows that some of them are destructive. Institutional problems, economic and financial sanctions and even the spread of the Corona virus have significantly increased the likelihood of crisis in the country's banking system. The share of more than 80% of banks in financing financing investment in the country has doubled the importance of identifying the factors affecting the banking crisis. Banks are used. The present research is applied in terms of research method. Estimation of Bayesian averaging model and TVP_FAVAR in MATLAB 2021 software in 11-year period (2008-2019); it is going to happen. The sample is 10 banks listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange. Initially, 49 variables affecting the banking crisis were entered into the model and 12 non-fragile variables affecting the financial crisis were identified using the Bayesian averaging model approach. The output of the results shows that the banking crisis index in the Iranian economy is multifaceted because the variables related to monetary and financial sector policy makers affect it; The results of the TVPFAVAR model also show that the effect of variables affecting the banking crisis is generally positive and strong, and this effect is generally stronger in the long run than in the short run; As a result, in order to reduce the banking crisis, medical and discretionary policies can not prevent the occurrence of the banking crisis, and institutional and fundamental policies and infrastructures are needed.

        AbstractOne of the powerful tools in examining the financial performance of companies is the liquidity of that company and is one of the decision-making indicators of investors. Examining the financial statements of companies is the most important step in investing and in this study, 50 effective variables of financial statements on liquidity management are included in the model. Using Bayesian averaging model approach, 12 non-fragile variables affecting the liquidity management of pharmaceutical companies, which include current liabilities, accumulated profit and loss, P / S, operating profit (loss), gross EPS, net cash inflow (outflow), Total Net Return on Investments, Total Net Flow of Investment Activities, Receiving Financial Facilities, Total Net Flow of Financing Activities, Cash Balance at the Beginning of the Year and Cash Balance at the End of the Year were identified. According to the results of liquidity management of pharmaceutical companies is a multidimensional process; Because the variables related to financial statements, balance sheet and profit and loss and cash flow affect this index. The multidimensionality of the factors influencing this process will require coordination among policy makers active in the industry so that the time inconsistencies created in the decision-making process do not make the situation of companies worse.

        This study investigates the analysis of Granger causality in mean patterns to measure the number of lags of the cross-correlation between the standard-residuals of returns and the volume of transactions during the crisis period. For this purpose, based on daily data from April 2020 to April 2021, structural breakpoints were first determined and then the relationship between the volume of daily transactions and price changes of the Tehran Stock Exchange was investigated using the GARCH-ARMA model. Finally, the causality was investigated in the average between returns and volume of transactions for each sub-period. The results showed when the prices fall sharply during the crisis period, market participants tend to use the volume of past transactions to predict current returns. Also, the results showed when there is an upward price movement in the post-crisis period, it is observed the correlations are significant from lag 2 to 20. These observations suggest causality-in-the-mean between both series occurs asymmetrically after the crisis period. Such asymmetric behavior supports the trader heterogeneity hypothesis from two perspectives, firstly, the degree of significant cross-correlation between the standardized residuals of both series is stronger in the highest interval before the crisis than after the crisis. Second, the time frame for past trading volume to correlate with current returns becomes longer after the crisis. The results of the research can be used to predict stock prices at a time when we are facing the fall of the stock market and the emergence of behavioral phenomena, especially negative market sentiments.

        Due to the importance of predicting economic variables, different models have been created to predict the future values of variables. In fact, economic models can be tested by checking the level of forecasting accuracy. The main purpose of this study is prediction of Iran interbank offered rate and Iran treasury exchange rate as interest rates indicators for facilitating interest rate risk management. Two econometric models including ARFIMA and ARIMA have been used for forecasting. Thus, the ARFIMA model considering long-term memory and the ARIMA model without considering long-term memory have been considered. The evaluation of the prediction accuracy of the two models using the monthly Iran interbank offered rates data and also the monthly Iran treasury exchange rates data shows that both the interbank offered rates data and the Islamic treasury bond rates data, ARIMA model has a better performance compared to ARFIMA model in predicting data.

        Financial Scientists have always been eager to distinguish between whether the price series could be random walk (unit root) or mean reversion processes. Random walk means that accruing shocks to the stock price have permanent impacts and prices don't revert to their previous trend path. In efficient market, the stock  return couldn't be predicted using previous price variation. However, efficient market hypothesis is under question because the researchers have provided evidences that reveal some anomalies in stock markets. Mean reversion stock price is one of these anomalies. The purpose of this research is the study of  mean reversion in the period 1380-1389. In line with this research, using unit root test (Dickey Fuller generalized), the phenomenon of mean reversion in the total stock price index, stock price and cash returns index, and the index's top fifty companies were examined. The results of the study indicate that continuous changes in the ‌total stock price index and the index of the top fifty companies follow a random walk process or more words that are not eligible for mean reversion. But the price and cash returns index index the result shows that only 1% error level was confirmed that the mean reversion. Error levels of 5% and 10% of the rest of the process did not follow a random walk and mean reversion confirmed. In general, the performance of the Tehran Stock Exchange Index and fifty top companies indicate But the price and returns index results in poor performance suggests a lack of cash. Manuscript profile

Always predict the price and volatility has been of the challenges facing traders in oil markets and price forecast is raised as an imperative and functional however, should be noted forecasts that will take place in more accurate and less error than the observed actual results. In order to predict the weekly price of Brent crude oil as an oil indicator given the difficulty of accurately identifying linear and nonlinear models in economic and financial time series from combining Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average models (ARIMA) by the assumption that the time series have a linear pattern and support vector machine (SVM) which has great potential in modeling nonlinear model is used to enhance the accuracy of prediction. Given two paired comparison performance criteria of root mean square error test (RMSE) and the mean absolute magnitude percentage error (MDAPE) which are resulting from the predicted values ​​and actual values ​​for each model, this indicates that in most cases the hybrid model provide smaller errors in predicting the future price of crude oil as compared to the individual applications of autoregressive integrated moving average models and the support vector machine.

        Desertification is a global phenomenon which can occur in any place and cause significant damages. Therefore, classification and generation of desertification intensity and risk map is a reasonable basis for planning.  The present study aims to evaluate desertification risk in the Abu Ghoveyr Plain in Ilam province, using general risk equation. To this end, first, desertification hazard map was prepared using the Iranian 9-criteria model of IMDPA. For preparing this map, working units map (geomorphologic facies) was created using slope, geology, and land use maps. Using this method, working units were considered as the main unit of desertification then a map was generated for each index according to assigned weights, such that the qualitative map of the desired factors were obtained using the geometric mean of indicators. Then, through integration and determining the geometric mean of layers obtained from indices and finally classification of the obtained maps, map of the current status of desertification in the studied area was generated. Then, elements at hazard in each working units were identified and were transformed to a map. Considering the hazard class of elements, degree of vulnerability of elements was determined. Finally, desertification risk was prepared in 4 classes by combining the risk intensity map, frequency, and the degree of vulnerability of elements. The results suggested that 49.73% of the area was in the high and very high damage classes.   Manuscript profile

        In order to create sustainable development in the tourism industry, the proper understanding of environmental potentials and its sensitivity to human activities is very important. This study has identified and prioritized the potential of ecotourism sites in the Kojur basin of Mazandaran province. Physiographies criteria, including slope, direction, and elevation, as well as criteria of distance from road, river, village, sliding locations and canopy percent, were selected as the appropriate index. The criteria were evaluated and fuzzy by the experts and Analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method. Subsequently, using the Ordered weighted average (OWA) scenarios, the appropriate ecotourism site was selected. To reduce risk and increase managerial power, Boolean logic was used. The results showed that the landslide and the roads had a maximum value of 0.315 and 0.238, respectively. The output maps of the OWA scenarios have shown that the northeastern range of the cougar basin is the most optimal location for the establishment of the ecotourism site, and the northern region was ranked next. In the scenario of the low-risk level and non-compensated, and low-risk level and low compensation scenario, 83 hectares of land were recognized for the appropriate ecotourism site. While, average risk and complete compensation, high risk and low compensation, average risk and non-compensation and high risk and no compensation, were 3179, 1255, 1909, and 2577 hectares respectively for ecotourism sites. The Boolean logic output showed that about 47 hectares of northeastern lands of Kojour basin are an appropriate ecotourism site. Manuscript profile

        Land surface temperature is a key indicator of energy balance. Besides, it serves as input data for models of climate change, agriculture, meteorology, urban heat islands, choosing the best time to agricultural activities, study of volcanic and geothermal activity, and fire detection. In this study land surface temperature has been extracted by available methods using 4 images of TM and ETM+ sensors of Landsat in span years of 1985 to 2003. The methods of  land lurface temperature extraction included landsat project science office, mono window, SEBAL, Stefan-Boltzmann and single channel. Because of the multiplicity of methods and the number of images used in this study using a statistical method is required. It is required to determine the most efficient extraction method of land surface temperature, which is close to the existing field data. The statistical indicator used in this study was a mean absolute error (MAE). The results indicated that Stefan-Boltzmann method was the best method for both TM and ETM+ sensors. The MAE values for TM and ETM+ were 4.3 and 6.8 respectively, which showed a minimum value among other results. Manuscript profile

        Recommendation systems propose specific items to users based on their interests by analysis the user data. The main goal of this analysis is extraction of each user pattern to predict the interested items. One of the main well-known methods in recommender systems is collaborative filtering in which similarity measures are utilized to detect similar users to a new user. The challenging issues related to collaborative filtering are similarity and neighborhood detection. In this paper, nearest neighbor (NN) algorithm is used to detect similar neighbors to a new user. The proposed model, which is inspired by user-item method, the score of items is calculated based on a distance metric and the nearest neighbor is selected. In the presented work, we detect similar users using user-item matrix and the Euclidean distance. The proposed method is evaluated on Movielens dataset which includes 1682 items and evaluation metrics such as Accuracy, Precision, Recall, F1-measure, Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) are measured. MAE of the proposed method is 0.7351 which is less than Pearson and Cosine similarities, which demonstrates the superior performance of the proposed method in similarity detection and prediction.

        The economic growth of any country has a lot to do with the infrastructure of the electrical energy supply chain and the ability to access it at low cost. Increasing the resilience of the electric energy supply chain in order to be able to respond to the real time demand of high-consumption and strategic consumers is a challenge that will not be possible without considering long-term demand forecasting and integrated development planning of this chain. This paper presents a long-term demand forecasting approach in the electrical energy supply chain of Isfahan's Espidan iron stone industries. This approach is a combination of wavelet transform, long short-term memory (LSTM) network and finally integrating the results with data-mining technique based on machine learning. The company studied in this research is one of the main suppliers of raw materials in the supply chain of basic metal production industries and one of the ten energy-intensive industries in the electrical energy supply chain of Isfahan province. The only information available from this company is the daily time series signal of the historical electrical energy demand of this industry in a period of 40 months. The data in the studied time series is interrupted so that only 50% of the data has a value and the remaining 50% is zero. This lack of data and the impossibility of access to supplementary data and effective features for forecasting has reduced the density of data and the possibility of long-term demand forecasting faces more problems than continuous time series. The used statistical analysis showed that the annual and seasonal data do not follow the normal distribution and have high distortion and heterogeneity. The proposed method and its results have been compared with other available approaches. The results of 10 iterations of extreme learning machine methods show that the RELM technique with a high confidence level of 95% is more effective than other machine learning methods and has more accurate results.

        In this paper, an electrical equivalent circuit model based on the photovoltaic effect has been presented with the studies done on the simulation of the solar energy system. This linear model, which consists of two diodes, shows the behavior of a solar cell to produce electricity. We have done the desired simulations using MATLAB software. Our goal in this research is to calculate the minimum error value for the unknown parameters of the circuit, which is obtained by the root-mean-square error (RMSE). In order to accurately and reliably determine the parameters of the double-diode model, an optimization method based on collective intelligence called the Cuckoo search algorithm is presented in this article. According to the desired model that we intend to study with the proposed algorithm, to obtain the minimum error value, we calculate the unknown parameters of the circuit and compare them with other methods. The results show that the RMSE value of the proposed algorithm with the initial population value of 50 and the number of iteration rounds of 1000 is equal to 3.56*10-2, which provides better results than other algorithms. The average execution time of this algorithm is 15.81 milliseconds per every iteration round. Manuscript profile

        Recognizing the composition of weed community in chickpea field is the most fundamental issues in weed crop management. Based on chickpea acreage and overall field areas in Kermanshah province during 2009-2010, fifty-two farms were selected as indicators of chickpea fields in the province. The weeds in sampling points were counted based on overall plants and each species and their population indices were calculated. In each field, at sampling points, the longitudes, latitudes and altitudes were determined via GPS device. By using this information, the distribution maps of different weed species of chickpea fields in Kermanshah produced via GIS software. The results showed that there were sixty-one weed species in chickpea fields of Kermanshah province. The ranking of predominant broadleaf weeds of chickpea fields in Kermanshah were included of succory (Cichorium intybus), field bind weed (Convolvulus arvensis), bed straw (Galium tricornatum), wild safflower (Carthamus oxycantha) and cowcockie (Vaccaria pyramidata), of Kermanshah province, respectively. Dominant grasses of chickpea fields in Kermanshah province were included: wild barley (Hordeum spontaeum), spring wild oat (Avena fatua) and Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon), respectively. Based on Shannon-Wiener species diversity index, different cities were classified into three clusters. Being in low value for Simpson abundance index of some cities were similar to being low Shannon-Wiener index and were indicated the presence of non-uniform community with the presence of dominant species in chickpea fields of these cities. There were significant differences among of chickpea fields' weeds of different cities in regard to species diversity, only the difference between Kermanshah city and Dalaho and Ravansar cities was significant. The predictive maps of different species based on their soil and climatic requirements showed that shifting of these species toward area with similar ecological conditions are able to infest the area and should prevent weed infestation of new area.

        Depending on the temperature and pressure of the heat source, single-effect absorption chillers are categorized in two types of hot water and steam single-effect chillers. Due to the ability to use the waste steam in oil, gas and petrochemical industries for air conditioning and process cooling purposes, the steam type chiller is more widely used. In this study, the artificial neural network is exploited in the prediction of the steam single-effect absorption chiller performance since it is faster and has lower computational cost compared to thermodynamic modeling methods. The perceptron multilayer neural network with the error backpropagation algorithm, the hyperbolic tangent excitation function and the Levenberg-Marquardt learning method with 15285 data points and also the mean squared error estimation index are used. Inputs of the artificial neural network are the inlet cooling tower water temperature, inlet chilled water temperature, inlet steam temperature, outlet chilled water temperature and the solution heat exchanger efficiency respectively. Also, outputs of the neural network are the coefficient of performance and thermal energy consumption of the chiller. Results of this study show that the artificial neural network is capable to predict the coefficient of performance and the thermal energy consumed by the single-effect absorption chiller while the values of mean squared error are 3.183×10^(-7) and 7.466×10^(-8) respectively which verify the accuracy of the method proposed here in absorption chiller performance prediction.

        This paper presents a new approach for short-term forecasting of wind farm power generation using artificial neural networks under Python programming language. In this method, weather conditions such as wind speed, wind direction, temperature and air pressure are selected as key features affecting the power production of the wind farm. To achieve a relatively accurate estimate, the root mean squared error of the predicted values is calculated and minimized as the objective function. The speed and accuracy of the proposed algorithm have been evaluated by conducting a case study on a wind farm located in Manjil, Iran. The power production of the wind power plant is predicted for a time horizon of one week and hour by hour using the wind speed, wind direction, temperature and air pressure during 8592 hours (total hours of a year minus hours of a week). The root mean squared error, the highest relative error percentage, the time resolution of the forecasts and the calculation time of the proposed algorithm are compared with other algorithms published in recent years, which shows the effectiveness and high accuracy of the results in a short calculation time. The power production of the wind farm was predicted hour by hour during a week and 168 data points were obtained, the root mean squared error in the optimal scenario is equal to 0.010817. The calculation time of the forecasting algorithm is less than 1 minute, and the maximum relative error in the proposed method is 2.3%, which demonstrates that the uncertainties associated with the power production of the wind farm can be reduced by using this short-term forecasting approach.

        An important issue in the supply chain concerns minimizing response time for the delivery of goods to the final destination, which can be achieved through selecting the correct route.  The optimal path connecting the origin and destination nodes through the least intermediate nodes is called the shortest path. The shortest path in supply chain networks considered in this paper concerns the problem of sending an order from an original node to a destination node on a network which lacks a perfect and permanent fixed structure. The queuing theory measures were employed in the present enquiry to find out the shortest path. Initially, the supply chain and queuing network were concisely introduced and then, the two-input and three-stage supply chain of Balan Sanaat Company was displayed. Each input order to the supply chain is represented by two stochastic variables including the occurrence time and the number of commodities to be delivered. Further, the measures of the performance and productivity measures were extracted via the queuing network approach to serve the purpose of the study which was to compute the minimum response time for the delivery of items to the final destination along the three-stage network. The average number of items that can be delivered during this minimum response time constitutes the optimum capacity of the queuing network. At each stage of the queuing network, decisions regarding the most appropriate delivery route to the next node in the shortest possible time is made right at the preceding delivery node.

        The main aim of this study was to determine the effect of sodium bicarbonate and beta-alanine supplementation on anaerobic capacity and blood lactate levels of female futsal players. Method: 40 volunteer female futsal players of the Tehran League were selected based on the variables of entering the research and sampling and randomly selected four of the 40 volunteers and randomly divided into four control groups (n=10), sodium bicarbonate (n=10), beta-alanine (n=10) and sodium bicarbonate and beta-alanine (n=10) were divided. The anthropometric characteristics of their height, weight and body mass index were measured before the test. Then the Wingate test was performed to measure power and their blood lactate level was also measured using a lactometer. After each test session, the bicarbonate group received 0.3 grams of sodium bicarbonate supplement per kilogram of body weight, the beta-alanine group received 0.3 grams of beta-alanine supplement per kilogram of body weight, and the combined group also received per kilogram The combination of beta-alanine and sodium bicarbonate was used for 0.3 grams of body weight, and the control group used 0.3 grams of placebo (starch) per kilogram of body weight, and after 90 minutes, the relevant tests were performed again. Also, the subjects' diet was controlled during the test. Finally, descriptive statistics, Shapiro-Wilk test, one-way analysis of variance test and Tukey's post hoc test were used for statistical analysis of the data using spss/21 software at a significance level of p≤0.05. The results showed that the supplement of sodium bicarbonate and beta-alanine has a significant effect on the average power and blood lactate level of female futsal players. According to the results of the research, it is suggested that coaches and players use sodium bicarbonate and beta-alanine supplements to increase strength and reduce the negative effects of lactic acid.

        Temperature assessment and forecasting is one of the most practical estimates of climatic elements. Today, the agricultural and industrial sectors are highly dependent on the temperature conditions. Temperature is one of the most important climatic meters that is one of the main factors in the climate identity of each region. The purpose of this study is to make a model for predicting the average monthly seasonal temperature of selected stations in Lorestan province, including Al-Shatrami region. Identification and detection of vulnerabilities in the infrastructure of Aleshtar districts in the conditions of climate change. And due to the inadequacy of the 30-year time series of Al-Ashtarl, neighboring cities such as Khorramabad-Aleshtar-Borujerd synoptic stations have been used, because the artificial neural network method has a great ability to simulate and predict atmospheric elements. And the weather, especially the temperature. To model and predict the seasonal monthly temperature, the r programming tool software of the fOre gast package has been used. Two tests of estimator trend analysis have been used. The 30-year time series trend of these elements was examined during the basic statistical period (1989-2019). The climate cycle was reported and extracted under two scenarios: NNAR and forEgast. The artificial neural network is one of the most powerful models capable of receiving and displaying complex Data input and output is one of the most widely used neural network (NNA) models to determine the best network inputs.

        The effective factors in soil formation include parent material, climate, topography, time and living organisms. The changes of these soil formation factors cause different physical and chemical properties in the soil. The purpose of this research was to investigate the relationship between soil-forming factors and soil physic-chemical properties. For this purpose, in four watersheds of Qazvin province, a map of working units was first prepared with field visits with the help of geographic information system at a scale of 1:25000. Then, 101 soil samples were collected and EC, pH, organic matter percentage, sand fraction, silt proportion, and clay percentages were measured. The relationship between soil formation factors and properties was investigated using linear multivariate regression in three methods of Enter, Forward, and Stepwise. To investigate parent materials from the sensitivity factor to the erosion of rocks, for living organisms, the percentage of organic matter through laboratory analysis, for topography from the two factors of slope and height and from the geological era to investigate time and for the climate factor from two Rain and temperature factors were used. The accuracy of these models was validated using two statistics of explanation coefficient and mean squared error. The results demonstrated that the highest R2 value of 0.78 with an RMSE of 0.56 was associated with the relationship between pH and soil-forming factors (regression by the Enter method). There was less than a 50% correlation between silt, clay, and electrical conductivity with soil-forming factors. According to the models obtained in this research, it was found that it is possible to prepare maps of soil physic-chemical properties with the help of soil formation factor maps in different regions by using more extensive modeling.

        The capital structure, meaning the way the company is financed, affects the value of the company, the relationship between the components of the capital structure, which is a mixture of bonds and stocks for financing, has a significant effect on the performance results of companies, the aim of the research is to model the factors affecting the capital structure in companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange (the approach of Bayesian averaging (BMA), This research is practical in terms of purpose and correlational in terms of nature. In order to achieve the goal of the research, 175 companies were selected from among the companies admitted to the Tehran Stock Exchange during the years 1390 to 1400 by systematic elimination method and considered as the main sample.In order to identify the most important variables affecting the capital structure, the BMA model has been used. Based on this, 61 identified variables affecting the capital structure were included in the Bayesian averaging model. These variables were divided into two categories of internal and external factors. Based on previous probabilities, 17 variables were identified as important variables on capital structure. Among these variables, 10 intra-company variables (type of ownership; net operating profit; current ratio; total assets turnover ratio; interest rate coverage ratio; debt-to-equity ratio; beta per share; accrual profit management; financial distress and tax) and 7 external variables (inflation, exchange rate, budget deficit, business climate index, economic resilience index, sanctions index, capital market depth) were effective on the capital structure Manuscript profile

        AbstractPrevious studies in the corruption literature have introduced numerous variables as the determinants of corruption. This articles aims to evaluate the robustness of potential determinants of corruption by addressing the model uncertainty and endogeneitry. The results derived from an instrumental variable Bayesian model averaging analysis indicate that based on the data of 123 countries, rule of law, with a posterior inclusion probability (PIP) of 1 and posterior mean of 0.662 has the most important role in keeping corruption under control among 36 explanatory variables. Government effectiveness, with a PIP of 0.964 and posterior mean of 0.358 is another significant variable in curbing corruption. Also, with a PIP of 0.965 and posterior mean of -0.194 the Asia dummy variable tells that corruption is a serious problem in the Asia region. Further, confining the analysis to 95 developing countries reveals that rule of law with a PIP of 0.999 and posterior mean of 0.684 is the most critical variable in the fight against corruption.

        The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of shocks on factors affecting financial crises in Iran's economy. In this study 62 explanatory variables were introduced into the model between 1370: 1 and 1395: 4 and, using the Bayesian averaging model approach, 12 non-critical variables that were effective on the financial crisis were identified. According to the results of the results, it can be stated that the financial crisis index in Iran's economy is a multi-dimensional problem, as variables related to fiscal policy; monetary policy and foreign exchange policy affect this index. Based on the results of the Autoregressive Vector Models Variable-Time Parameters, it was also observed that the effect of selected variables on financial crises in Iran over the course of time has had different effects and in recent years the intensity of the effect of selected variables has been strengthened. One of the fundamental solutions is that policies that reduce inflation uncertainty, such as the fiscal and monetary discipline of the government and the central bank, reduce crisis expectations by stabilizing the currency and currency markets can reduce crisis uncertainty.

        Electrical load forecasting is the prediction of future demands based on various data and factors containing different consumptions on weekdays, electricity prices and weather conditions that are different for societies and places. Generally, medium-term electrical load forecasting is often used for the operation of thermal and hydropower plants, optimal time planning for maintenance of power plants and the power grids. However, long-term electrical load forecasting is used to manage on-time future demands and generation, transmission and distribution expansion planning. In this paper, a hybrid long-term load forecasting approach using wavelet transform and an outlier robust extreme learning machine is proposed. Hourly load and temperature data were extracted from the GEFCOM 2014 database and divided into two classes of training and test. The one-level wavelet transform is used to decompose data to extract properties and reduce the dimensions of the data matrix. Decomposed low-frequency component (approximations) and high-frequency component values (details) from wavelet analysis are entered into the model for training and forecasting. For comparison accuracy of the proposed method, wavelet transform is applied to the data for the other three extreme learning machines. Also data without wavelet transform entered into four other forecasting models and the load forecasting results are compared with the proposed method. The results of the above mentioned evaluation show that electrical load forecasting by using wavelet transform and outlier robust extreme learning machine improves forecasting accuracy and the MAPE reduces to 3.0966. The overall calculated error by the proposed method was the best result obtained between the three several models of extreme learning machines and without preprocessing model. The MAPE is 0.4208 less than the ELM, 0.944 less than the RELM, and 0.1353 less than the WRELM model, respectively. Manuscript profile

        Nowadays, saving time and economy of each country requires proper planning, decision making, and rational forecasts in different areas. One of the most well-known areas that has received a lot of attention is electricity forecasting. The features of the electricity which makes it distinguished from other commodities are the impossibility of storing it and the existence of seasonality and nonlinear and ambiguity pattern in electricity data set. These features of the electricity makes it more difficult to forecast using traditional methods. Therefore, in this paper, a parallel optimal hybrid model using seasonal linear and nonlinear methods is proposed to forecast the electricity load forecasting. The main idea of this model is the use of the advantages of individual models in the modeling of complex systems in a structure, simultaneously. Experimental results indicate that in this method due to the use of a direct weighting method, the computational cost of modeling it is significantly lower than other parallel hybrid methods.

        Espidan ironstone industries is one of the most consumed power industries in the electricity supply chain of Isfahan province as the second industrial hub of the country and one of the main suppliers of raw materials in the supply chain of the country's steel industry. Planning in a large-scale electricity supply chain, in a space full of uncertainty, is begin with electricity demand forecasting.In this paper, a hybrid long-term demand forecasting method in the electricity supply chain of Isfahan's ironstone industries using a combined data mining method including wavelet transform,deep learning and intensive learning machine is proposed. The used data in this study is according to the recorded information from the electrical energy demand signal of Espidan ironstone industries in a period of 40 months in the form of 24-hours. The data in a part of the study period due to the lack of production of this industry in some hours are interrupted. So that only 40% of the data had a value and the remaining, 60% were zero. This subject led to information deficiencies and increases the forecasting error up to 40% in the first step of the proposed algorithm. By completing the first step of the proposed model with intense learning machine (ELM) the forecasting error is reduced and it was possible to create an improved forecasting model for supervised training. Finally, simulation results are compared with other available approaches such as support vector machine and decision tree. The results show the improvement and reduction of error and a significant increase in the accuracy of the proposed method in long-term demand forecasting in the electricity supply chain of Espidan ironstone industries.

        Nowadays, Kalman filter has been wildly used for solving the problem of real world. Kalman filter is a recursive filter that estimates the state of a linear dynamic system from a series of noisy measurements. One of the applications of Kalman filter is signal processing. In this paper, we use Kalman filter for electrocardiogram (ECG) signal noise removal. First accidental ECG signals are collected from Physiobank database and then Kalman filter is tuned for noise removing from ECG signals. In addition, we apply Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter for ECG signal noise removing and finally we compare the performance of two filters using Mean Square Error (MSE) measurement. Results show the superior performance of Kalman filter for ECG signal noise removal.  Manuscript profile

        Since tourism is increasingly developing in all over the world, it is focused more than before by most economists and policy makers. Accordingly, in order to make appropriate policies to improve tourism, investigating the determinants of tourism demand is very important. According to the literature, there are a lot of possible variables which their effects on tourism demand in different economies have been emphasized by previous studies. Therefore, using the data obtained from Iran Provinces and applying Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA) method, this study tried to investigate the determinants of tourism demand in developing countries during 1995-2012. The results showed that the population of destination (as an index showing the size of market) and GDP (development index) are the most important variables which affect tourism demand. In addition, the variables related to infrastructures, communication facilities, international trade, quality of life and human capital (education and health) have positive effects on tourism development. On the contrary, some variables like high relative prices and poor quality of life such as pollution have reducing impact on tourism demand. According to the results, it is suggested to improve transport infrastructure, develop an efficient human capital by improving education and health status, and reduce pollution in cities.

        More rainfall in arid and semi-arid just evaporate into the atmosphere and so estimates the amount of water vapor in the water cycle will be important. Evaporation is dependent on various parameters and to its estimate needs for a different climate variables and the interaction of these variables is very complex, so it must be accurate methods to be used in the evaporation study. In this study, artificial neural networks were used to estimate the pan evaporation of Dez regulating dam station. As ANN hyperbolic tangent function and the learning momentum was used. Multilayer Perceptron structure which used a network of six input neurons, three hidden layer and an output neuron was formed. Input layers include maximum temperature, minimum temperature, sunshine hours, average wind speed, relative humidity and an average rate of evaporation from water surface to the output layer. The relationship between climatic factors showed that the average temperature on the surface evaporation caused more than sunshine and wind speed. High coefficient of determination (92/0) between the actual data with simulated data with artificial neural network plus a small error (RMSE = 1.41) showed that the estimate accuracy is very high. Verification by t-test revealed no significant (P> 0.01) differences were between actual and estimated values. Manuscript profile

        In data envelopment analysis, different models are developed in different fields with different data for evaluation and ranking of DMUs. While in many applications issues, unit managers are faced with stochastic data, and they need a method to evaluate their supervised units in a way that can evaluate and rank such DMUs. When working with stochastic data, considering the probability of occurrence of unpredictable states (the level of error) provided by managers, the DMUs are evaluated. In this paper using Probability statistics techniques and normal distribution and the BCC model with undesirable outputs and a specific risk ofSpecified,a new stochastic model called Expected Ranking Criterion is introduced. Based on this,the stochastic cross-efficiency evaluation. Given the non-uniqueness of resulting optimal solutions, a model is introduced for rating priorities by which cross-efficiency is performed using aggressive method. The proposed model is implemented for 32 thermal power plants with stochastic inputs and undesirable outputs. Manuscript profile

        Improving the human development index is the best mechanism for empowering people to achieve the goal of raising their living standards through human capabilities. Promoting the quality of the life of a community is a fundamental change in the economic, educational, and health variables. The present study seeks to examine the status of the provinces of the country in terms of the human development index for the years 2005, 2010, and 2015? The method of this research is descriptive-analytic and is an applied research type. The average human development index for provinces for 2005, 2010, and 2015 is 0.660, 0.650, and 0.627 respectively. Provinces that have a favorable status in the human development index are often located in the center of the country. Overall, the human development index decreases as the center of the country reaches the border regions. It should be noted that the provincial education index is the strong point of the human development index of the provinces. In sum, there is a strong inequality between the provinces of the country and this inequality in the index of economic well being is more than two indicators of education and health. The findings of this research show that provinces with low human development index are consistent with the border provinces of the country. Manuscript profile

        Abstract The development of financial markets and the stock market play an essential role in economic development. Considering that financial markets are always associated with risk and uncertainty, and shocks and turbulence in one market affect other markets, therefore, one of the main objectives of this research is to identify the type of distribution of financial series (stock returns of different industries) and estimate their uncertainty and risk (turbulence), determining the weight of stocks in the investment portfolio, as well as accurately identifying how the volatility changes and the intensity of correlation and interactions between the stocks of different industries over time in order to maximize the interests of investors and provide the necessary solutions to planners and policy makers Investors are for managing and developing the stock market.In order to optimize, statistics related to the weekly price index data of  selected industries (mass housing, banks and credit institutions, chemical, automotive, pharmaceutical and basic metals) have been used. For this purpose, using orthogonal GARCH model and weekly data of stock price index of different industries in the period March 27, 2010 and January 18, 2021, the elements of the variance-conditional covariance matrix were estimated, Then, the stock portfolio was optimized using the obtained information and the distribution of general hyperbolic (GH) skewed t, in the framework of the static and dynamic classical Mean-Variance model as well as the static Mean-CVAR model. The results of fitting (estimation) of the data distribution show that the return distribution of the price index of the studied industries follows the distribution of the general hyperbolic skewed t; Based on the dynamic classical mean-variance model, the highest weight in the stock portfolio in the study period was related to the pharmaceutical (0/6336) and chemical industries (0/3539), respectively.

        Abstract One of the basic dimensions in the discussion of financial instability is the volatility of asset prices. The reason for the change in asset prices is not only the policies of the central bank, but examining its impact interprets an important part of its changes. In this research, based on the method of Bayesian averaging and principal component analysis, the monetary policy index effective on the stock price has been determined and through the TVP-FAVAR model, the effect of this variable on the stock price has been investigated in MATLAB software. According to the results, the changes of one standard deviation in the monetary policy index over time on stock prices have been U-shaped. Changes of one standard deviation in the monetary policy index had a positive and strong impact on stock prices in the beginning to the end of the period. Manuscript profile

        The object of this research is study of the changes trend in debt to equity ratio and weight average cost of capital (WACC), and also to investigate the relationship between capital structure and WACC. According to the second theory of Miller and Modigiliani (1963), there is a meaningful and linear relation between capital structure and WACC; so that through increase in debts, the cost of capital will be decreased. This research has investigated the information collected via Rahavard Novin software, for 38 samples of the firms that listed in the Tehran Stock Exchange during 1379 to 1388. for hypothesis testing used of the ANOVA test and Pearson correlation coefficient. The results show that change in debt to equity ratio, doesn’t have increasing trend and also the changing process of WACC doesn’t have a decreasing trend.

        In this study, using dynamic averaging models and monthly data in the period 2001:4 until 2018:3, Tehran Stock Exchange returns be investigated. In this regard, macroeconomics variables and parallel markets indices have been used to forecast the stock returns. Initially, estimating various models such as Recursive models, time-varying parameter models (TVP), dynamic model selection (DMS) and dynamic model averaging (DMA) in Matlab software, It was observed that DMS model with α = β = 0.95 had higher forecast accuracy (based on MAFE, MSFE and Log (PL) metrics). Gold price (48-period), exchange rate (36-period) and inflation rate (30-period) had the highest effect on stock returns, respectively, and global oil prices and GDP had the lowest effect by 28 and 2, respectively. Finally, the results indicate that utilizing dynamic models by considering time variations in parameters and the variation of the model increases the efficiency of forecasting stock returns.

        The purpose of this paper detecting the variables affecting on Bitcoin price using daily Time series data from 2015 to 2019 invoking two method of Bayesian model Averaging and Weighted-Average Least Square. The results of this study show that the price variables of cryptocurrencies with different creation mechanisms from Bitcoin and also the number of circulating cryptocurrencies with similar mechanism to Bitcoin and the volume of liquidity of US dollars affect the price of Bitcoin. On the other hand, the Forex market currency pairs, such as the dollar to Canadian dollar, the dollar to Australian dollar and the dollar to New Zealand dollar, which are less valuable than other major currency pairs in the Forex market, affect the price of Bitcoin. Also, the variables in the number of bitcoins, the number of cryptocurrencies in circulation with a different mechanism from bitcoin, the global price of gold and the number of searches for the word bitcoin in Google on its price have low coefficients. Overall, the results of the two methods of Bayesian averaging and Weighted Averaging Least Square are largely the same, and the use of the optimal pattern selection method confirms this.

        Banks as fund intermediaries in providing and allocating resources to the community, encounter market risk, liquidity risk and etc. In this study, the market risk, is taken into consideration in order to determine the optimal currency basket, one of the fundamental aspects of Foreign Currency Reserve Management in banks, which itself is also affected by fluctuating interest rates, exchange rates, stock prices and etc. The approach used in this paper is the value-at-risk criterion (VaR) the variance-covariance method, along with the exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) technic. Value at risk actually summarizes the types of risks in a single digit, and it releases the senior management from bunches of risk calculations. The purpose is to design a model which provide an optimal combination for holding 6 currency reserves such as U.S. dollar, Dirham, Yen, Lira, Won, and Euro in Bank Mellat using the reference rates data of the aforementioned currencies in 2018. At the end, the model was solved using LINGO and Excel software. The results show that the maximum share of the US dollar and the dirhams in the currency basket of Bank Mellat are 33% and 67%, respectively. Accordingly, if the share of that currencies mentioned above exceed the obtained digits in the currency basket, then the maximum expected losses on the currency portfolio increase over the time and at the level of desired level of confidence. Also, other currencies are so risky, therefore Mellat Bank, to hold these currencies must plan more based on its trading needs. Manuscript profile

Then and their portfolio risk is calculated using the models of absolute deviation risk and conditional value at risk, and these two criteria are compared by the classical solution method. The portfolio optimization output with each of these risks represents a different weight per share. In the following, the deviation - absolute risk model and conditional value at risk model of metaheuristic method using MATLAB (R2019) software are compared. The results show that the PSO model of metaheuristic method compared to the classical method in solving portfolio optimization problem showed more return in PSO-MAD criteria and therefore it is a better method to solve such portfolio optimization problems.

        Investment portfolio theory is an important foundation for portfolio management, which is a well-studied but not saturated topic in the academic community. Integrating return forecasting in investment portfolio formation can improve the performance of portfolio optimization model. Since machine learning models have shown a superiority over statistical models, in this research, a approach of forming the stock portfolio in two stages is presented. first step, by implementing neural network, suitable stocks are selected for purchase, in the second step, using the (MV) model, the optimal weight in investment portfolio is determined for them. In particular, the stages of selecting suitable stocks and forming a stock portfolio are the two main stages of the model developed in this research. first step, a convolutional neural network model is proposed to predict stock buy and sell points for the next period.second step, stocks that are labeled as buys are selected as stocks suitable for buying, and MV model is used to determine their optimal weight in the stock portfolio. The results obtained using 5 shares of Tehran stock market as a study sample show that the efficiency and Sharpe ratio of proposed method is significantly better than traditional methods (without filtering suitable stocks) Manuscript profile

        One of the most important issues of banking managers as an influential variable on the banking industry is the knowledge of the status of bank deposits that the bank depends on a large extent on it. Therefore, bank managers are keen to know how much the total bank deposits will be at a given time in the future. Predicting the amount of deposits, changes and fluctuations of these deposits can help banks in planning and decision making. In this research, using statistical techniques and approach of artificial neural network models, we have tried to introduce a model with the highest estimation power and the least amount of error to predict the amount of deposits or the same sources of finance by their different types for the desired bank. To test the hypotheses, one private bank information was used during the period of 1387-1396. In this research, we compared the predictive power of ARIMA and artificial neural network method. To assess the accuracy of forecasting the bank's resources, the ARIMA method used Coopiff and Christopherson tests.  The results of the research on the amount of bank deposits monthly showed that the neural network method provides better estimates than the ARIMA method.

        The purpose of the present research is to provide a multi-period portfolio optimization model in a fuzzy credibility environment, aimed for end-of-period wealth maximization and risk minimization. The investor’s risk was measured using the Average Value at Risk (AVaR) as a coherent risk measure. The model is designed in such a way that, in addition to considering transaction costs, the investor will have the opportunity to allocate part of his wealth to a risk-free asset. In designing the model, in addition to the cardinality constraints, constraints such as the minimum “proportion entropy” (as the portfolio of diversification degree) and the expected returns of the portfolio in each period are considered. The results of the model running by MOPSO algorithm indicated that the model objectives in the optimum portfolios were better suited than those when the model was run with random weights. The results also indicated that an increase in the portfolio diversification degree reduced the amount of the final wealth. Manuscript profile

        Long-term memory, also referred to as long-range dependence, explains the correlation structure of values of a time series at long intervals. According to the efficient market hypothesis, prices follow a randomized step process, so returns on assets can not be predicted based on past price changes. Long-term memory is a weak point of the business-market hypothesis. Long-term processes have important implications for asset yields and play a crucial role in time series analysis. This study examines the existence of long-term memory in the price index of crypto currencies equals $ 1 and lower for the period from September 1, 2015 to September 1, 2018. To estimate the parameter d, the OLS method is used in the EVIEWS software package. The ARFIMA model is used to test hypotheses. The results indicate that long-term memory is in the currencies of DIGIBYTE, Dodge Coin, EMER Coin, BITSHARES, MAIDSAFE COIN, XEM, Redd Coin, NXT, Verge and Ripple, and on the other hand, three currencies of Byte Coin, SIA Coin, STELLAR lacks long-term memory, and therefore these currencies are among the most efficient market products.

At the second stage, it is used Monte Carlo method for pricing traffic congestion.  Since, derivative pricing fluctuated is an index for predicting deriver behavior in that time or at least their expectation about future traffic volume: low (high) price is likely to be light (heavy) congestion at that time and in the specific route.  So, it is an intelligent method that indirectly dependent to drivers’ decision. In addition, in the usual method, the price is fixed, however, in the new method it is used market mechanism, so it is changed. Furthermore, in travel time derivative, two factors, traffic volume and diversion is implied in this forecasting. At the end, the introduced method is run for Karaj-Chalos route at 10 first of 31 July 2017. The derivative determined that the travel time will be 72 minutes. The result shows that, buying opportunity price is more than celling, so the travel time will be less than threshold time 72 minutes Manuscript profile

        One of the most important actions on risk management is to obtain correct and rigorous information from the nature of the time series which are known as risk drivers. In this paper we introduce a model for interest free deposits using stochastic processes. To this end we use the geometric Brownian motion, jump-diffusion, Cox- Ingersol-Ross and mean-reversion models. Also to develop the approach we decompose the volatility of the time series into deterministic and stochastic parts and model the stochastic part only. The deterministic part is the sum of trend line and periodic cycles. We observe that after estimation of parameters and model calibration, the results are consistent with initial expectations which are as follows: The performance of the models increases with separation of deterministic and stochastic parts. Although at the same time the phenomenon of mean reversion and heavy tail is approved, but, Cox-Ingersol-Ross model show a better behavior than jump-diffusion model. Finally the man-reversion and Jump-diffusion models have better performance than other models. Manuscript profile

        Price forecasting is one of the most challenging issues that the speculators, traders and brokers are faced with. On the other hand in interval analysis it is supposed that observations and estimations in the real world are not complete and reliable so to increase the accuracy we should describe the data as the intervals that includes real quantities. Various methods are used in order to model the time series such as price. Autoregressive integration moving average (ARIMA), which is known as box-Jenkins method is one of the most commonly used models in forecasting of time series during the past three decades. But the main assumption is that there is a linear relationship between the values of the series therefore nonlinear relationships cannot be explained completely by using autoregressive integration moving average (ARIMA). Another method in time series forecasting is neural network which can estimate the various nonlinear relationship (called neural network universal estimating) but according to the literature, using network will have complicated results. Since it is difficult to understand the linear and nonlinear data pattern in reality, this idea will come to mind that the combination of linear and nonlinear models could increase the accuracy of forecasting. So in this research the linear part will be estimated by ARIMA and then the non-linear residuals will be modeled by neural network and finally the predicted result will be added to ARIMA in order to forecast the low, high and close price of gold .comparing the accuracy of the hybrid model to ARIMA and neural network  by pair compared, Diebold-Mariano and Harvey-Newbold –Leybourn test and two criteria (MSE and MAE) showed that the hybrid model presented better performance.

        Finding the most optimize way to make a portfolio “ feasible “ has been ,and always will be a challenge and concern for those active in investment management industry. For several decades, Markowitz's (1952) Mean Variance Theory (MVT) has been considered as the cornerstone of modern portfolio theory. The Behavioral Portfolio Theory (BPT) developed by Shefrin and Statman (2000) is often set against Markowitz's (1952) Mean Variance Theory (MVT). In this paper, we compare the asset allocations generated by BPT and MVT without restrictions. Using Tehran Securities Exchange stock prices from the TSE database for the 2012– 2017 period, A sample of 247 companies are listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange data for a period of 5 years was used for statistical analysis . stock prices contained in the TSE database to generate a possible asset allocations via bootstrap simulation.this paper is the study that empirically determines the BPT optimal portfolio.We show that Shefrin and Statman's (2000) optimal portfolio is Mean Variance (MV) efficient inmore than 70% of cases.

        Every investor is always looking for the investment portfolio that will bring him the most profit with the least risk. The standard deviation of an asset return is the amount of risk of that asset. In this study, the value-at-risk approach has been used as a measure of risk in the formation of the optimal stock portfolio. By selecting a statistical sample consisting of seven companies operating on the Tehran Stock Exchange, first the variance-covariance matrix is ​​extracted by the moving average weighted method (EWMA) and then the Markowitz model is calculated with the aim of reducing portfolio risk against an expected return level. Portfolio performance has been achieved. Then the value-at-risk limit is added to the efficient frontier chart, and then by analyzing the sensitivity of the value-at-risk value for different values ​​of the level of confidence and the maximum risk accepted by the investor, we show that with the risk-value approach in forming the optimal portfolio Stocks may not change the limit of the Markowitz model, or be limited, or become a point, or even disappear.

        The aim of the study is determination of the correlation between factors affecting in the wheat yield and preparing of yield mapping of wheat in north of Darab city. In order to determine the relationship between biological and grain yield with some of the important agronomic traits 60 samples in the north of Darab city was investigated. Parameters such as plant height, seed weight, harvest index, tiller number, latitude and longitude for each of the samples was measured. The results show that grain weight has highest correlation with the biological yield (0.97**). In this study, also using the Kriging (Gaussian models, spherical, circular and exponential models) and average inverse distance (IDW) maps of the biological yield and grain weight was determined. The results of the interpolation show that kriging method (Gaussian model) with a minimum error (RMSE=0.98 for biologic yield and RMSE=0.97 for grain weight) was the best model for preparation of these parameters in the study area. Also the results of biologic yield map show that areas locating in the North West of the study area were the highest yield. Manuscript profile

        In this study was evaluated different Maize cultivars including KSC706, KSC705, KSC704, KSC703, KSC647, MV527, KSC500, KSC403, KSC400, DC370, KSC260 and KSC201. Maize cultivars were sown in 2014 at the Research Institute of Animal Science and under potential conditions including recommended planting date and density and apply the potential conditions (without stress) during the growing season and harvest each cultivar at full maturity stage. In each varieties was measured important traits as a grain, biological yield and traits related to ear, Harvest Index and dry weight. Analysis of variance showed a significant difference between treatments in all of characters. Comparison of means showed that KSC703, with 19.39 and 40.11 t/ ha of grain and biological yield was the best hybrids. Also KSC260 showed highest yield between 300, 400 and 500 maturity groups. The results of correlation analysis showed that grain yield had the most correlation with biological yield (0.94), ear length (0.90) and seed weight (0.89) (P≤ 0.01). It seems that the genetic improvement have been by increasing the traits such as biological yield, ear length, grain weight, stem weight and lose weight tassel. After converting each of studied traits to the normal distribution Z (standardize with statistical method), Cluster analysis to determine the distance between genotypes through the square Euclidian distance and Ward's method based on mean of all characters, hybrids was classified into five distinct groups that this classification did not match to FAO classification.

        A field study was carried out to investigate the effects of four planting depths and three soil types with different physical characteristics on green bean (Phaseolus vulgaris Var. sunray) and maize (Zea mays L. Var. Amyla) seed germination and seedling emergence.The aim of the experiments was to investigate the physical effects of the soil on seed ecology and emergence dynamics. The result revealed that germination inhibition was directly proportional to clay content and inversely proportional to sand content due to burial depth. Depth of fifty percent emergence inhibition (Di50%) were equal to 5.3 cm in clay soil for both green bean and maize, if this was for silty soil, respectively 5.4 and 2.7 cm. A significant linear regression between clay particle content and Di50% revealed that those soil components had opposite effects in terms of favoring or inhibiting depth mediated inhibition. Therefore, increasing soil clay contents increased inhibition of seedlings. The data also showed that the oxygen content in the surrounding soil of seeds can not be an important factor for seed germination differences, and its effect was insignificant. Increasing geometric mean decreased particle diameter soil inhibition. In conclusion, these experiments showed soil physical properties had a strong effect on buried-seed ecology and consequently on seed germination and seedling emergence. Manuscript profile

              In order to study the effects of water stress on germination characteristics and seedling growth of two medicinal plants, two experiments were conducted at physiology laboratory of Faculty of Agriculture, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad as a completely randomized design with four replications. There were two types of medicinal plants; hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis) and marguerite (Chrysanthemum_superbum). Experimental treatments included five levels of water stress (0, -2, -4, -6 and -8 bar). Results showed that the effects of different levels of water stress were significant on all of the studied indices of the two plants. Germination percentages decreased and mean germination time increased by increasing water stress levels. Germination percentage was minimum (0%) in drought level of -6 bar, in the two studied plants. Root length of Hyssop increased and Marguerite decreased by increasing water stress levels, respectively. Plumule length had a decreasing trend in the two studied plants, but the amount of this decrease was less in hyssop. Moreover, the root to plumule length ratio increased in hyssop and marguerite by increasing drought stress levels. Also, root dry weight increased, plumule dry weight decreased and root to plumule dry weight ratio increased by increasing drought stress severity in the two studied medicinal plants. Totally, the results of this experiment showed that germination and seedling growth indices were superior in hyssop in water stress conditions.   Manuscript profile

        In order to study of heritability and gene action of some of quantitative traits of barley in two conditions, normal irrigation and terminal drought, cross was conducted between two genotypes (EM 79-4×1-BC-80628). In this cross EM 79-4 parent was sensitive to drought and the 1-BC-80628 parent was tolerant to drought. The parents with F1, F2, BC1, and BC2 generations produced from crosses were evaluated on field conditions using RCBD with 3 replications. This experiment was carried out in field of cereal breeding unit of Karaj Seed and Plant Improvement Institute during 2005-6 and 2006-7. In this study plant height, spike length, grain yield in plant , weight of 1000 grain ,harvest index, days to heading and days to physiological maturity were measured. Results indicated that mean of squares of generations for all the traits were significant therefore generation mean analysis for all traits was conducted. In normal irrigation conditions on heredity control for more traits except harvest index additive, dominance and epistasis effects were role, but in terminal drought conditions  in heredity  control for all traits additive, dominance and epistasis effects were rolled. The ranges of broad sense heritability on normal condition between 0.34 to 0.63 and narrow sense heritability between 0.25 to 0.53 but in terminal drought condition this ranges for broad and narrow sense heritability respectively between 0.48 to 0.77 and 0.29 to 0.62 were varied. Average numbers of gene in normal and terminal drought conditions were 1 to 7 and 1 to 3 genes respectively. Manuscript profile

        Objective: The goal is to select an optimal portfolio of stocks by allocating capital among various investment opportunities in the stock market to achieve maximum return at a specified level of risk. This constitutes an efficient portfolio.Research Methodology: Attaining an efficient portfolio involves solving an optimization problem. There are numerous techniques and tools available to solve this issue. In this study, 15 stocks from companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange, including symbols such as Khapars, Khazamiya, Vepasar, Foulad, Akhabar, Kegel, Femli, Tapiko, Sepaha, Fazer, Fakhas, Shohbaran, Shefan, Qamro and Qathabat, were selected using cluster sampling. First, the daily returns of these stocks were calculated over a 5-year period from 2015 to 2020 (1183 days). The risk of the optimal investment portfolio was then calculated using the Mean-Semi Variance and Conditional Value at Risk models. These two criteria were compared using a classic solution method. Subsequently, the output data obtained from these calculations were compared using MATLAB software, employing the Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm under the Mean-Semi Variance risk criterion and the Genetic Algorithm under the Conditional Value at Risk criterion.Findings: The results of this study indicate that the meta-heuristic Particle Swarm Optimization method yields a higher portfolio return ratio compared to the Genetic Algorithm in the Mean-Semi Variance risk criterion.Originality / Value: This research utilizes multi-objective genetic algorithms and Particle Swarm Optimization, which are intelligent and novel algorithms, to minimize the objective function value using Conditional Value at Risk and Mean-Semi Variance criteria. These algorithms optimize the return and risk ratios of the stocks in the investment portfolio with the highest possible accuracy. Additionally, the efficiency comparison of these models using MATLAB software contributes an innovative aspect to this study. Manuscript profile
