In addition to their benefits in food production, their use as a biocontrol and protective agent is considered a great advantage. Among the yeasts in the environment, there is a group called killer yeasts, which, according to research, play an important role in controlling other microorganisms (other yeasts or bacteria). Killer yeasts can be classified in different aspects, but in general, the most important known killer yeast is saccharomyces cerevisiae. The toxins secreted by these yeasts have the role of inhibiting the target organisms in the environment. The nature of these toxins is protein or glycoprotein. Each toxin has its mechanism, and sometimes they are very complicated; there are two important strategies for killer yeasts: (1) competition for food in the environment and (2) penetrating the target cell membrane and destroying it. The most important applications of killer yeasts are fermentation, fundamental biological research, biomedical research, food and feed ingredients, and biocontrol agent. Many studies have been conducted on killer yeasts in various fields, such as the destruction and inhibition of microorganisms in winemaking, bacteriocin activity against pathogens, and antimicrobial activity in food spoilage, fruits, and vegetables. In vivo studies have also been conducted. All these cases indicate the killing activity of killer yeasts and their use as a suitable alternative. It should be mentioned that the dose of killer yeast is so essential. Also, their excessive presence causes problems and safety issues must be considered. Finally, it should be noted that the applications of killer yeasts in the food industry and other fields are increasing and only future studies will demonstrate their real potential of them.

According to the laws approved in 1393 and 1395, our country has been required to measure all properties, which unfortunately has not been fully implemented so far. This research has been done with the aim of comparative study of Iranian and British laws in the field of surveying. The unwritten law of the Commonwealth of England, based only on government approvals that have been in force for more than half a century, requires the surveying organization to have a comprehensive cadastre of all the country's property, both public, public and private, and only with strict cooperation. Performs the mapping and performs the mapping operation again after each transfer of ownership. In the sense that no responsibility has been assigned to the people, it is contrary to the sharia and legal responsibility of the people of our country who are required to limit their property. But in terms of technical and executive facilities, the UK's success in mapping all properties is admirable. It is recommended that the officials of our country take serious steps in order to properly implement the approved law. Manuscript profile -

Antimicrobial effect of the alcoholic and aqueous extract of these plants was studied by diffusion and well discarding method by measuring the non-growth aura's diameter and the minimum inhibitory concentration was investigated by ELISA method. The results show that in two methods, diffusion discs and wells in alcoholic and aqueous extracts have the highest effect on Staphylococcus epidermidis bacterium and have the least effect on E. coli bacteria. The minimum amount of MIC for alcoholic extract is 31.25 and MBC 54.25 mg / ml, which is related to Escherichia coli bacteria. The results measurements of total phenolic compounds, flavonoids and tannins also indicate that the highest amount of this product is in the concentration of 500 mg / ml of the extract of plants. Also, the amount of antioxidant activity in the alcoholic extract is about twice as much as the aqueous extract. The results of this study indicate that the combination of extracts of plants, especially alcoholic extract, has a more antibacterial effect than the aqueous extract, which can be due to the presence of more antibacterial compounds in the extract.

Three insect species Urophora xanthippe (Dip.: Tephritidae) and Metzneria paucipunctella Zeller (Lep.: Gelechiidae) and Acanthiophilus helianthi Rossi, 1794 (Dip.: Tephritidae( were identified. M. paucipunctella (Zeller, 1839) (Lep. Gelechiidae) is introduced for the first time for Iran and U. xanthippe (Munro, 1934) for the first time for fauna of Khorasan. Results showed that overwintering larvae of U. xanthippe become pupae in early May and converted to adult after 7/13 (d). Adults emerge from pupae and mate after 3 (h) with no feeding. Due to the high potential of head flies in reducing the number of seeds and also due to the limited host range of the knapweed, the insect can be used in biological control of knapweed.

It seems that this fallibility is rooted in distorted perceptions of ontology, teleology and feasibility applied in social development and lack of unanimity on how to deal with them. This study tries to scrutinize true potentials of social development in large-scale plans and laws practiced in Iran to facilitate the feasibility of social development and delineate ontology and teleology of this concept. Doing so, congruencies with international approaches are clarified.

The innovation of this paper is Calvo pricing assumption regarding the lag in inflation rate and indexing parameter in which inflation persistency conditions computing will be more relevant to Iran’s economy. The results showed that inflation expectations have a major role in inflation rate formation so that even if the inflation rate declines it will occur in a longer time due to inflation persistency. It, was cleared the prices have less reaction ability in relation to inflation persistency. It is suggested to the monetary authorities by considering the domestic inflation targeting rule in addition to inflation control, they stabilize the domestic production in the natural level in which it is required the monetary authorities to have credibility in views of economic agents.

A logical algorithm is needed to do such restoration. In recent years, by developing GIS systems in distribution networks, data entering and structuring in computers has been changed and dissimilar to conventional softwares, computer cannot view the network configuration. In this paper a proper definition of network agents are suggested in matrix format. By such definition fast detection of fault location and deenergized sections located at its downstream parts is done. Also curtailed load is calculated. Finally with digital data available in the GIS databases, optimal restoration strategy is selected and applied based on available routs. The proposed algorithm is applied on a complicated three feeder distribution network to test its effectiveness and speed. Simulations in MATLAB shows that the proposed algorithm is very fast and robust to any complicated network configuration as well as any number and location on sequential faults. Manuscript profile -

The focal point of this research was to explore the chemical constituents of acetone and methanol-extracted samples of Cupressus sempervirens and Juniperus excelsa, as well as their potential inhibitory actions against a prevalent food-borne pathogen.Experimental: This experimental investigation was conducted on standard strains of Staphylococcus aureus (PTCC 1430), Bacillus cereus (PTCC 1431), Listeria monocytogenes (PTCC 1298), Escherichia coli (PTCC 1399), and Shigella dysentery (PTCC 1188). Following the preparation of methanol and acetone extracts derived from Juniperus excelsa and Cupressus sempervirens using Clevenger apparatus, the antimicrobial efficacy was assessed by both qualitative agar well diffusion method and quantitative macrodilution method. The active constituents present in the methanol and acetone extracts of the plants were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analytical method. Means were compared with Duncan's test at the 5% probability level.Results: The findings of this investigation pertaining to the antimicrobial potency of the extracts, ascertained via the qualitative agar well diffusion method, indicated its efficacy against Gram-positive strains including S. aureus and B. cereus. The methanol extracts of the J. Excelsa were found to produce smaller inhibition zones on the tested bacteria compared to other plant extracts. The highest sensitivity to the acetone extract of C. sempervirens and J. excelsa observed in S. aureus and B. cereus. The extracts obtained from the two plant did not demonstrate any discernible impact on the Gram-negative bacteria that are commonly associated with foodborne pathogens. The findings obtained through gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) indicated the presence of efficacious components such as Benzene 1,2,4,5-tetramethyl, and Cyclopropane cyclopenta in J. excels extract. The acetone extract of J. excelsa showed more potent antimicrobial constituents than its methanolic counterpart.

As a blocker of calcium channels, nimodipine specifically blocks L-type calcium channels, which are present in smooth muscle cells in blood vessels. By blocking these channels, nimodipine prevents calcium from entering the cells, resulting in relaxation and dilation of the blood vessels. In this way, several 4H-chromene derivatives were obtained through electro synthesis in propanol, using electrons as a catalyst to generate propanol anion as a base. This process involved obtaining malononitrile anion, which readily underwent Knovenagel condensation with aromatic aldehydes, followed by the reaction of the active methylene of dimedione with the electrophile C=C of the intermediate. Finally, the expected product was o−btained through cyclisation and tautomerization. The effect of current, solvent, and anode type were studied, and it was observed that the optimized current, solvent, and anode for the synthesis of nanoparticles of 4H-chromene were 50 mA/cm2, propanol, and a magnesium anode in an undivided cell at room temperature. The proposed method produces 4H-chromene directly from initial compounds in a mild and safe condition. All synthesized compounds were screened through molecular docking studies, which utilized the crystal structure of CavAb. Compound 8f exhibited the minimum binding energy and good affinity toward the active pocket of CavAb compared to nimodipine as a calcium channel blocking agent. Manuscript profile
