        Yeasts have been discovered and used for many years. They are so valuable and practical. 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.

        Determining the boundaries of property is necessary in order to protect the civil rights of citizens as well as to protect public property. 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

        Recently , due to the resistance of bacterial pathogens to the detection of new antimicrobials, much attention has been paid. In the present study, the antimicrobial properties of four extracts of leafy leafy leaves, henna leaves, walnut shells and pomegranate peel on three gram-positive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Bacillus subtilis, and two gram-negative bacteria of Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were studied. it placed. 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.

        During 2011 and 2012, field studies were conducted in different parts of the South of khorasan, where contaminated to Russian knapweed to find its natural enemies. 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.

        Polymer additives have shown significant impacts on packaging materials. Enhancements in polymer performance have paved the way for new and innovative production methods. Diverse additives offer processing and production improvements. Plastic additives have a small share in plastic materials, yet they profoundly affect the quality of plastic products. Due to distinct processing methods and usage conditions, various types of plastics require different and varying amounts of additives. The main objective of incorporating additives into plastics is to enhance processing performance, increase efficiency, and decrease costs. The present paper examines the historical growth of polymer additives, their different categories, and their significance. While there are various types of additives, this study focuses on those enhancing processing capabilities and improving polymers’ functional properties. Manuscript profile

        Many software applications today are designed based on multi-agent concept. These applications which need to work non-stop and continuos for a long period are prone to errors. Therefore, they are required to be fault tolerant as much as possible. Most of fault-tolerant methods provided for multi-agent systems are based on replicating the number of agents which leads to more complexity in these systems. In this paper we used task replication along with increasing numbers of agents in MaSE methodology to have a reliable architecture with high fault tolerante capability for multi-agent systems.

        The main objective of this paper is to investigate the factors influencing the investment of companies in the research and development sector. The factors considered in this study as independent variables include tangible resources, intangible resources, financial factors, market factors, as well as the presence of international companies in the country as an intermediary variable. The research method in this research is applied in terms of applied and descriptive-survey nature and the statistical population selected in this study is all active companies in Takestan industrial towns. The results show that market factors (intensity of competition, complexity of the environment), tangible resources (size of organization and structural capital), intangible resources (manpower, reputation and business resources), and ultimately financial factors (financial independence and profitability of the company) The title of effective factors is the key to deciding on investment in research and development. The results show that the presence of international companies in Iran after the imposition of sanctions and the elimination of sanctions as a mediating variable in terms of intensity of competition does not have a significant effect on directors' decision making on investing in research and development, but the effect of this mediator variable is Then, the impact of environmental complexity on investment decisions on research and development is meaningful.

        This paper argues that in Iran social development is put on a par with associated concepts like social policy, human development and fighting poverty and discrimination; and still residual approach is exercised to explore it. 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. Returning a unanimous verdict among scholars and policy-makers, guidelines to terminate social and structural regression are discussed.   Manuscript profile

           The aim of this survey was to determine the occurrence of liver abscesses and identification of associated bacterial etiology in cattle carcasses of Tabriz industrial abattoir. A total of 355 cattle carcasses were inspected for the presence of liver abscesses. In the case of liver abscess presence, some characteristics of the carcasses were recorded; such as cattle’s age, gender, pregnancy and also abscesses’ characteristics (i.e., number, size and location of abscesses on liver). Abscesses as whole, were sampled and kept cold until microbiological examinations. Microbial analysis was performed on samples and cultures were incubated at aerobic, anaerobic and microaerophilic atmospheres. From 355 cattle carcasses, liver abscess was found in 28 (7.8%). Among positive results, 22 (78.57%) of livers had only 1, while 6 (21.42%) had 2 or more abscesses. Fusobacterium necrophorum was isolated from 15 (53.57%) and Arcanobacterium pyogenes from 10 (35.71%) of abscesses. According to the results of this study, Fusobacterium necrophorum was found as the most frequent bacterial causative agent of cattle liver abscess in Tabriz industrial abattoir, while Arcanobacterium pyogenes was considered as the second most frequent agent.       Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this paper is to investigate the inflation persistency regarding the heterogeneous behavior of economic agents. For this, the data were used from 1991-2015 based on seasonal data and Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium models. 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.

        Power distribution network configuration must be restructured fast after occurring a fault in order to restoring healthy parts. 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

        Background & Aim: The unfettered usage of antibiotics has engendered a mounting resistance of bacteria to these agents, thereby necessitating the discovery and development of novel compounds and medications to a greater extent than previously. 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. It is anticipated that in forthcoming times, the acetone extract derived from this botanical specimen may be employed to prevent bacterial-induced foodborne illnesses.Recommended applications/industries: Duo to the existence of a range of bioactive compounds in the acetone extracts obtained from C. sempervirens and J. excels, these extracts have the potential to be used against the development of foodborne infections and diseases caused by bacterial agents.

        Background &Objectives: Silver nanoparticles have been widely used due to their anti-bacterial activities and anticancer properties. The aim of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial effects and cell toxicity of silver nanoparticles synthesized using extracts of chamomile on three neoplastic cell lines (A549, MCF-7 and HeLa). Materials & Methods: Silver nanoparticles were biologically synthesized using extracts of chamomile. After physical and chemical evaluation of the synthesized nanoparticles, their antimicrobial properties were estimated on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Finally, the inhibitory effect of synthesized nanoparticles evaluated by using MTT technique on 3       neoplastic cell lines. Results:  The average size of nanoparticles synthesized by the extract of chamomile were 19 nm. The synthesized nanoparticles could have a significant inhibitory and lethal effect on the two named bacteria. silver nanoparticles were able to show a 50% inhibitory effect on different cell lines at a concentration of 50 μg/ml. Conclusion: Based on the results, it can be stated that medicinal plants can be used in the successful biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles. After human studies and tests, chamomile-based silver nanoparticles can be used as effective therapeutic agent in the treatment of some cancers due to their coating of effective secondary metabolites and the release of silver ions (Ag+).   Manuscript profile

        This study examines the desirable lifestyle of political agents in accordance with the Quran, the tradition of the Infallibles (AS) and reason in line with the Iranian Islamic model of progress. The main question of the research is what are the desirable components of the lifestyle of political agents in the Iranian Islamic model of progress in accordance with the logic of the religion of Islam (intellect, Quran, tradition)? And by what model can the desired lifestyle be achieved for political agents? In this article, using the Quran, the Sunnah of the Infallibles (AS) and the intellect, the desirable components of the Islamic lifestyle of political agents have been extracted, and while providing a model in this regard, we have examined the current state of the lifestyle of political agents. The research method has been extracted by using the method of face-to-face interview and referring to experts and on the other hand by using the method of qualitative content analysis and using the sources of Quran, Sunnah of the Infallibles (AS) and the wisdom of the components. In the quantitative part of this research, descriptive statistics has been used, the result of which is the identification of 12 components and 60 indicators in the field of lifestyle of political agents, which, if observed, will appear in four areas of the Iranian Islamic model-progress. Therefore, in order to progress in these four areas, the grounds must be provided. One of these areas is the reform of the lifestyle of political agents in society based on Islamic-Iranian models.

        Voltage-gated Ca2+ channels play a vital role in the transmission of electrical signals by temporarily increasing intracellular Ca2+ levels and exerting an action potential on the cell surface membrane. 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
