        Introduction: Chemical fertilizers are one of the most important factors that pollute the environment. Chemical fertilizers can cause air, soil, surface and underground water pollution and cause irreparable damage to the environment. Among the chemical fertilizers, nitrogenous fertilizers have the largest amount of consumption and can be affected by the oxidation and reduction process and affect the environment the most. So far, many methods have been presented to recommend chemical fertilizers, but all these methods are qualitative and cannot calculate the quantity of fertilizer required by the plant. The Integrated Plant and Soil System (IPSS) was first described in 2019. In this method, the amount of elements needed by plants is calculated quantitatively. Materials and Methods: There was a significant correlation between nitrogen of saturated soil extract and nitrogen of plant organs, and the highest correlation was observed between the nitrogen of young leaves and the nitrogen of saturated soil extract. Also, the highest correlation was between the nitrogen of young leaves and other plant organs. Organs of plants whose nitrogen had a significant correlation with soil nitrogen were selected and multivariate regression equations were determined between them and soil saturated extract nitrogen. By simplifying them, two equations with two variables were obtained, according to which the required fertilizer can be calculated. Results and Discussion: There was a significant correlation between nitrogen of saturated soil extract and nitrogen of plant organs, and the highest correlation was observed between the nitrogen of young leaves and the nitrogen of saturated soil extract. Also, the highest correlation was between the nitrogen of young leaves and other plant organs. Organs of plants whose nitrogen had a significant correlation with soil nitrogen were selected and multivariate regression equations were determined between them and soil saturated extract nitrogen. By simplifying them, two equations with two variables were obtained, according to which the required fertilizer can be calculated. Conclusion: The results of this research are two bivariate regression equations, based on which the amount of fertilizer required by plants can be calculated quantitatively and accurately, and the environment can be protected from the risk of chemical fertilizer contamination. This method can be used for all elements and plants in hydroponic and soil cultivation systems. Manuscript profile

        2 - A Review Of Cross Impact Analysis Methods And An Introduction To the Correlation Logic Method
        Ebrahim Hajiani Alireza Hemmati

        Most of the futures study methods evaluate the concerning variables and drivers seperately to predict or examine the events. However, some times there is a need to analyze the event occurance probability in correlation with a series of predicted events. The Cross Impact Analysis method is the key to this problem. Requiring more complex statistical processing to achieve the results, the Cross Impact Analysis method, like the Delphi method, is based on the experts opinions. The main approach in this method is to determine the event occurance probability or various driver forces seperately and ask the experts opinions for the event occurance probability in case of other event occurances and their cross impact. In advanced methods of this analysis, discussed in this study, event occurance probability is reviewed in the chain of reasons between events. Thus, a matrix of the primary probabilities and conditional probabilities and directed event cross impact relations and driving forces is designed. The common methods of this analysis defines rules based on the two logic of probabilities and structures relations for the events impacts on each other. However, both methods are not used for the cross impacts. In this study, authors presented a new method of correlation logic to cover both positive and negative impacts of events on each other using a review on available methods of cross impact analysis. Cross impact analysis method usually leads to a scenario 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

        This study explores the role of information flow in stock return predictability in Iranian stock market. The empirically motivated models estimated using the monthly data of the Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) for the period of 2001:01 to 2011:12. While Iranian stock market return is high predictable, the source of return predictability is shown to vary considerably with information flow. The results show that the relevance of the first-order autocorrelation decreases with volatility and reversely, the relevance of a conditional multifactor asset pricing model increases with volatility in this market. Furthermore, the results indicating that the local market risk and changes in oil price affect the expected aggregate return in periods of high information. Manuscript profile

        Improving decisions in fire management requires a complete understanding of the spatio-temporal relationships between droughts and fires. To achieve this, the natural areas of Lorestan province were selected as the research site. The fire data from MODIS satellite products and monthly rainfall data of the province were extracted to estimate SPI drought index for the statistical period of 2000 to 2022. The spatial and temporal relationship between the frequency of fire occurrences and the spatial and temporal distribution of droughts in terms of annual and monthly scales was investigated with the Pearson correlation model in the province. The results showed that the trend of fires in the region is increasing. The months of June and July have experienced the highest frequency of fires in the natural areas of the province. Poldokhtar city has had the most frequent fires in natural areas. The whole region has tended to be dry, but the eastern parts mostly included classes with higher degrees of drought. The results of the correlation matrix showed that only the drought events in spring to summer had a significant but moderate negative correlation with the fire events in spring and summer. Despite the obtained results, this study emphasizes that the connection between fires with drought needs more studies and it is not possible to prove the real relationship between the two phenomena with just one calculation index.

        Protection of biodiversity is considered one of the global concerns and it needs to manage forest as a complex ecosystem and its vital role in conserving biodiversity have been widely acknowledged. The microhabitats of tree habitats were accurately determined based on the scale lines in a selective manner and the method selected by Lario et al. The measurement parameters including slope, height, moisture content, temperature, light, and soil texture were measured and consequently the environmental factors affecting micro-habitats were investigated using Pc-ordwin software version 4.5 and multivariate analysis (CCA) test. The results showed that in the control parcel, temperature was directly related to light, slope, height, and soil texture, and the average of light, height, soil and positive correlation in this parcel is more than managed parcel, while in the managed parcel it is opposite. The tree microhabitats in the managed and unmanaged parcels have been created under different environmental conditions. According to the results of the CCA and depending on the type of management measures, the forest can be directed towards the type of management by increasing or decreasing the mentioned environmental factors.

        Climate changes in Iran, which have mainly manifested in the form of intensifying periods of drought and increasing temperature, can have profound effects on the forest ecosystems of Zagros in the west of Iran. In this study, the drought trend (with PDSI index) and its effects on the spatial-temporal dynamics of EVI greenness index from MODIS sensor were investigated through correlational relationship in the statistical period from 2000 to 2020 in Zagros oak forests in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province. To determine the greenness index threshold value, sampling at 20 points in the forests of the province and EVI index values in these areas were used. The results showed that the greenness threshold value of EVI in these forests was at the maximum level in June. The greenness index value and the area of the oak forests of the province have decreased during the study period. The peak greenness of the oak forests of the province had a significant sensitivity to changes in rainfall and drought at the end of the cold period of the year and in the spring season. The negative phases of the drought indices have been completely consistent with the periods of greenness loss. The EVI, as an index of forest greenness, has shown a high sensitivity to the PDSI drought index. The PDSI index has also been able to explain 0.74 of the spatial changes of EVI in the three months of April, May, and June. Manuscript profile

The statistical population is the citizens of Ahvaz city. The sample size of Cochran's formula is equal to 322 people. A questionnaire was designed in the form of 5 indicators: socio-cultural, economic, physical-physical, political, and environmental. Data analysis was used in the SPSS software space.The total average shows that the situation of urban management in Ahvaz is unfavorable and socio-cultural and economic stability is worse than other indicators. The results of the one-sample t-test showed that all indicators are far from the hypothetical mean (3). This factor indicates the instability of indicators in urban areas. Overall, Region 1 was better off in terms of economic and political sustainability, Region 8 in terms of social sustainability, Region 3 in terms of physical, and Region 4 in terms of the environment. The results of the correlation analysis show that region 1 is moderately stable and the regions 6, 7, and 8 are in the very low range, and regions 2, 3, and 4 are in the vicinity of the low spectrum. Finally, according to the results, indicators of urban management sustainability in the city of Ahvaz are divided into 5 levels. The average of the first level is 24.10, the second level is 23.49, the third level is 22.42, the fourth level is 21.37 and the average of the fifth level is 19.79. Manuscript profile

        Introduction and Purpose of the Research: Paying attention and concentrating on the spatial structure of the city in terms of possession of various indicators is quite necessary because the spatial structure of the city has a coherent system which consists of various elements and components. That is in a way that transience of each and every one of these elements affects the whole set and urban structure. Based on this fact, the aim of this research is evaluating the rate of spatial justice and the distribution pattern of spatial indicators and determining that rate of concentration in the mentioned indicators. Method: The research method is descriptive-analytic. In this research, by utilizing demographic-social, economic and skeletal indicators and also using VICOR, cluster analysis models, Gini coefficients and Moran coefficients, leveling and rating urban areas and measuring and spatial concentration and autocorrelation of the city of Mahabad in the year of 1394 is done. Findings: Results from VIKOR model showed us that the most urban areas of the city of Mahabad are undeveloped or not developed in a favorable way. Consequently, using Gini and Moran coefficients it has been cleared that facilities and urban services are concentrated the most, as this concentration has not faced a notable autocorrelation. That is because in the most cases, the distribution of the indicators was focused on a particular area, but not in several adjacent areas. Conclusion: It is determined that in the most cases, the spots that are possessed and allocated are placed in the north and northwest of the city and deprived spots are placed in south of the city of Mahabad. Therefore, paying an undivided attention to a decrease in inequalities and move to a balanced development in terms of facilities and urban services must be prioritized in urban management and planning.

        Background and Purposes: Statistical methods are widely used in environmental studies to evaluate natural hazards. Within groundwater vulnerability in particular, statistical methods are used to support decisions about environmental planning and management. In this study, the optimized of DRASTIC, Pesticide DRASTIC model parameters and land use layers (LU) were used to assess of pollution risk in catchment basin aquifer in south of Namak lake using of statistical methods. Methods: Information layers were prepared, rated (deterministic and fuzzy-statistical), weighted (original and statistical) and combined (by Index-Overlay method) in GIS environment. For modeling, from nonlinear regression for fuzzy-statistical rating (scaling) and the Pearson correlation coefficients between of nitrate concentrations with scaling parameters of DRASTIC, P-DRASTIC model and sensitivity analysis (removal and single-parameter) were performed to determine and modify of parameters weighted. Results: As result P-RASIC-LU and RASIC-LU model with statistical rating and weighting, removal-parameter sensitivity analysis, determine as best selection model based on correlation coefficient = 62%, P-value = 0.01 and with parameters of net recharge, aquifer media, soil media, impact of vadose zone, hydraulic conductivity and land use with the weighty values of 3.1, 4.0, 4.1, 3.1, 2, 2 and 2.5, 4.63, 4.15, 3.03, 2, 1.96 consequently. According to this model, western and southern parts of the aquifer has high pollution risk due to high net recharge and coarse-grain material in the impact of vadose zone, soil and aquifer media. Conclusion: Since reviewing of weight and rank of model parameters is limited personal opinions and increased model validation using statistical methods and GIS, It can be expected that favorable results to be followed for optimization of pollution risk model.

        Background and Objective: In recent years, the water level of Lake Urmia has been increasingly reduced and a huge amount of sediment and salt has remained in its bed. Due to the geology around the lake as well as the effluents and sewage that have entered the lake, harmful elements have entered the lake water. With the regression of the lake, the complex contaminants in the water have been transferred to the sediments and salts of the lake bed, which in case of possible conversion of these sediments and salts containing hazardous elements into fine dust, will affect the surrounding areas. In this study, the content of heavy harmful metals (As, Cr, Ni, Cu, Pb, Zn, Co, Mn, V, Cd and Hg) and radioactive materials (Th and U) in sediments and salts of Lake Urmia were evaluated. . The purpose of this study is to identify and study the source of contamination of harmful elements in sediments and residual salts in the dried bed of the semi-eastern part and between the passage of Lake Urmia. Method: To investigate, sampling of sediments and surface salts of the lake was done from the eastern and middle part of the lake and the samples were geochemically evaluated and statistically analyzed. Findings: Comparison of the results of the obtained concentrations with the average crust showed that the elements As, Cu, Ni, Co, Hg, Cd, Th and U in the region are more than the average crust. Discussion and Conclusion: The studied elements were examined by statistical evaluations such as correlation coefficient, cluster analysis and factor analysis. The results of all three methods were consistent with each other. According to these results, the origin of U and Hg elements is geology and the origin of other human elements. The main sources of human pollution are from urban and industrial effluents and sewage in the areas around the lake. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Precipitation is one of the most variable climatic parameters. These changes occur both in terms of location and time in terms of the region's climate. This study was conducted to model the spatial relationships of seasonal rainfall in the northeast of the country with a joint monthly statistical period of 30 years (1980-2010). Method: In order to achieve spatial variation of rainfall, new methods of spatial statistics such as spatial autocorrelation, global Moran, spatial dispersion index and geographic weight regression model (GWR) were used in GIS software. Findings: The results of this study showed that rainfall changes in northeastern Iran have a high cluster pattern or positive. The Global Moran Index for each of the four seasons and the annual sum is above 0.93, the highest Global Moran index with the value of 0032191 is for the summer season. Discussion & Conclusion: The results of the GWR model showed that rainfall in the northern parts of the study area had positive spatial auto-correlation and in the southern parts, which are mostly desert areas had negative spatial auto-correlation. Also, the results of dispersion data were the result of cluster pattern of precipitation in the northeast of the country. Based on the frequency index of clusters or the ICF, the winter season is the largest cluster with a numerical value of 2646.26 in Northeast of the country. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this article was to measure systemic risk and the impact of fundamental variables on it in the country's banking system. In this regard, information from the period of 2010-2019 was used. In the first part, systemic risk indicators were estimated, then the impact of the fundamental variables of the country's banking system and financial stability was evaluated. In order to estimate the model, the final expected deficit method (MES) and panel data were used. The systemic risk index in this research is obtained from the calculation of the degree of leverage (debt size), market size and expected final deficit (MES) in order to finally be able to model the factors affecting it.In this research, first of all, different types of systemic risk assessment models have been evaluated according to the forecast error, and then, with the better selected model, the relationship between systemic risk and the important ratios of the country's banking system has been evaluated. The results showed that there is a significant positive relationship between independent variables such as inflation rate, external debt, government debt, liquidity growth, non-current facility rate, debt ratio and the ratio of book value of equity to market value, and independent variables such as profitability There is a significant negative relationship between the total index of the stock exchange, the growth rate of GDP and return on assets with the systemic risk index among the country's banking system.

        One of the features of a financial market, the stock market in particular, is its affectability from other financial and non-financial markets. regarding the importance of this issue, the present study aimed at investigating the dynamic conditional correlation (DCC) between the returns on the domestic and foreign assets in monthly data (oil, industry, exchange and base metals including total, copper, steel) and returns on the stock price index in Iran during March 2001 to April 2017 using the DCC-FIAPARCH approach. The obtained results indicated a statistically significant and positive DCC coefficient difference between the metals, industrial products, and copper returns with the stocks returns. Consequently, it is not possible to put each of these assets with the stocks in an identical situation (purchase or sale), but instead they should be always placed in opposite situations for the purpose of risk control. However, with regard to other assets, the DCC was not significant; accordingly, the assets can be placed in the investment portfolio together with the stocks although the presence of such assets in the given portfolio did not help to reduce the portfolio risk.

        This study aims to investigate the relationship between crude oil price returns and stock market index returns of an exporter (Iran) and an importer (Turkey). Using daily data of West Texas Intermediate (WTI), Brent crude oil spot prices, and one-four month futures prices for the WTI; Tehran Stock Exchange Price Index (TEPIX), Tehran Stock Exchange Dividend and Price Index (TEDPIX), the Dividend and Price Index for the Istanbul Stock Exchange gathered during the period of 2000-2010; the relationship is analyzed by two models of the Constant Conditional Correlation (CCC) and the Dynamic Conditional Correlation (DCC). The findings reveal that the DCC is predominant over the CCC for Turkey, which means there is a non-constant conditional correlation. In contrast, the findings show the predominance of CCC for Iran. Among the spot markets, stock market volatility is better defined by the Brent than the WTI. For futures markets of the WTI, a better relationship with longer maturity confirms the financial markets as being long-term. Finally, no evidence is found for one- or bi-directional volatility spillovers (interdependencies) between the markets. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Relationship between agricultural use area and fertilizer consumed with changes in groundwater nitrate concentrations is one of the direct methods of agricultural use on nitrate concentration and groundwater inflammation in each region that can manage managers in proper management. Help ground water resources. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between changes in agricultural and chemical area of consumed on the increase in nitrate concentrations in groundwater sources in Ray plain. Research method: In this study, Landsat 5 and 8 satellite images for the years 2008, 2011, 2014, 2017 and 2020 were used to monitor land use changes. After processing the images, the area of agricultural land was calculated. According to the statistics obtained from the amount of chemical fertilizer consumed and the qualitative laboratory results of nitrate concentration changes, the effects of these factors on each other and the mathematical relationships between the variables were tested with the Pearson correlation and linear regression method. Findings: The results show that during the investigated period, agricultural land has increased and barren land has decreased. The consumption of chemical fertilizers has also increased. The level of nitrate concentration of underground water sources shows that during the period under review, the concentration of nitrate in underground water wells has increased. The analysis of the correlation coefficient also showed that at the error level of 1% (99% confidence level) there is a significant relationship between the concentration of nitrates in underground water with the area of agricultural land and the amount of fertilizer used. This means that as the area of agricultural use and the amount of chemical fertilizers increase, the concentration of nitrates in underground water resources also increases. In the presented regression model, the accepted square value (R2) is equal to 0.993 and it indicates a relatively strong relationship between the dependent variable (water nitrate concentration in underground water sources) and the independent variables (agricultural area and the amount of chemical fertilizer used). Discussion and Conclusion: The results indicate that with the increase in the area of agricultural land, the consumption of chemical fertilizers has increased in the research area, and due to the nitrate leaching process from the soil surface, the nitrate concentration in underground water sources has increased, which is one of the important reasons for the increase in nitrate concentration in the study wells.

        An overwhelming problem of modern life in large and industrial cities can be considered as air pollution. In order to reduce the air pollution harmful consequences, it necessitates finding out crucial air pollution parameters and their lateral effects. In this study, meteorological and air pollution data in Tehran were investigated; afterwards the changes in annual mean and correlation of these parameters and their linear model environmental pollutants were determined based on the meteorological parameters. Meteorological parameters, the important parameters in specifying the air pollution, have been scrutinized in this study. Tehran Air Quality Index pollutants variables (NO2, SO2, O3, CO, PM-10) and meteorological elements can be named as if temperature, relative humidity and wind speed. Meteorological and pollutant data were obtained from, synoptic and department of environment study stations. There of the average annual change of these parameters, correlation and linear model of environmental pollutants based on meteorological parameters has been acquired via statistical software. The results, estimated from 60 equations, illustrated that only through 40 equations the relations between pollutants and meteorological parameters was observed in which the differences in number of sample, type of relation and degree of correlation existed. The best equation with more than 49% coefficient of determination for ozone versus temperature was recognized in Azadi station. This correlation for SO2 versus wind speed with more than 24.9% coefficient of determination was calculated in Vila station. Pardisan station for SO2 versus temperature with more than 32.3% coefficient of determination and Tajrish station for ozone versus temperature coefficient of determination of more than 22.4% were selected as the most outstanding equations. With regard to the fact of the significance of the relation between pollutants and meteorological parameters, it perceived that weather parameters can be effective on the air pollution levels in Tehran.

The results of analysis of variance showed that the difference between studied cultivars for amino nitrogen (a-N) all traits were significant at the 0.05 probability level and for other traits was important at the 0.01 probability level. Phenotypic and genotypic coefficients of variation for most traits were high, indicating relatively high variability in studied cultivars for evaluated traits. Correlation coefficients between traits showed that there was the most negative and significant correlation between root yield trait with sugar content (-0.62), whit sugar content (-0.53), alkalinity coefficient (-0.52), potassium (-049), sodium (-0.45) and also molasses sugar content (-049) traits, and the most positive and significant correlation with sugar yield (0.95) and extraction coefficient of sugar (0.58) traits, respectively. In multiple regression analysis by stepwise method, sugar content, amino nitrogen and alkalinity coefficient traits were entered into model, respectively, that explained 82 percent of root yield variations. Based on path analysis results, amino nitrogen (0.35) and white sugar content (-0.31) traits had the most and positive direct effect with root yield and thus , selection based on the mentioned traits can help us achieve high-yielding genotypes.

        Nowadays, breast cancer is the most common cancer disease among women. Statistics shows a six percent increase in Iran which indicates it as a serious danger. However, its danger can be prevented increasingly by early diagnosis or prediction. By medical science progress, the way for developing of a system with the capability of prevention, prognosis and cure by using the new technologies is paved. Medical data mining tries to design a model and find relationships among risky factors to predict the condition of future patients with the aid of current data. We try to compare different data mining algorithms and combination of these algorithms to develop a new, efficient method with high accuracy and capability to perform on local data. Finally, proposed method which improves efficiency of Naive Bayes with Adaboost algorithm can predict the kind of benign or malign tumor with the 96/67% accuracies. Required data for this procedure is extracted from UCI site to diagnose the kind of tumor with 569 records and 32 variables. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of the land use changes in the Minab city on the variations in the urban heat islands (UHI), using the random forest classification method and spatial statistics on TM and OLI Landsat images in 1988, 1998, 2008 and 2018. First, land surface temperature (LST) was calculated using the split-window and the single-channel algorithms. Land use map was generated using supervised classification random forest method and its performance was assessed by two criteria of overall accuracy and kappa coefficient. In order to survey spatial autocorrelation and clustering, pattern of hot spots, the two statistics of Anselin Local Moran's I and Getis-Ord GI were applied. In 1988, land uses of vegetated, barren, and urban built-up lands were occupied 30.1, 32.53 and 37.37 percent of the city area, respectively; in 2018, the areas of these land uses were 16.36, 9.56 and 74.08 percents, respectively. A threefold and twice-fold decrease in the area was observed for barren and vegetated lands, respectively; while the area of urban built-up lands had more than doubled. The calculated values for urban-heat-island ratio index (URI) in 1988, 1998, 2008, and 2018 were 0.45, 0.34, 0.11, and 0.22, respectively. The outcomes of two considered spatial statistics indicated the clustering, pattern for UHI of the Minab city. In addition, there was a good agreement between the results of Getis-Ord GI statistic (hotspots spatial analysis) and the Local Moran's I statistic (spatial autocorrelation) on the spatial pattern of heat and cool clusters.

        Background and Objective Land use/cover changes have been considered to be one of the most important parts of global environmental changes. These changes are complex and dynamic in relation to other environmental changes (global warming, drought, erosion, and ecosystem degradation). In this context, the impacts of land use/cover changes on hydrologic processes are one of the most important environmental issues and challenges, so the extent of dependency on agriculture and other water-related activities on streams has become a major concern in watershed management. So, Assessing long-term hydrological impacts of land use/land cover  (LULC)  change is of critical importance for land use planning and water resource management. For example, Increased runoff due to the conversion of forests to other land covers, especially agriculture, as well as increased runoff and flood discharge resulting from the expansion of urban and residential use has been repeatedly reported by various researchers. The present study was aimed at identifying and determining the quantity and quality of land use changes and their relationship with flow discharge changes in catchments of Binalud county in order to guide water resources management and conservation of natural resources at the catchment scale, considering the evidence of land use changes as well as the hydrological regime variations in the catchments.Materials and Methods The data used in this study were as follows: the average monthly discharge of hydrometric stations, including 3 stations of ZirbandGolestan, Hesar, and SarasyabShandiz that were collected during 1990, 2000, 2010, and 2018, and the Landsat satellite images, including 4 satellite images for the years 1990, 2000, 2010 and 2020, acquired in the spring (May). The monthly discharge values of two seasons, winter and spring, were selected to study hydrological regime changes, considering the low and close to zero values of the average monthly discharge during summer and autumn and very small variance in the relevant values. The data were tested for normality at the significance level of 0.05 before entering the correlation test based on the Smirnov-Kolmograph method.   In regard to satellite images, the processing steps were as follows: firstly, the atmospheric correction of the images was performed based on the conventional FLAASH method in the ENVI software environment. Then, the combination of visible green, red, and near-infrared bands in false color (4-3-2 in Landsat 5 and 7; 5-4-3 in Landsat 8) was used for classification based on the maximum likelihood algorithm. The land use classes were as follows: 1-garden, 2-residential, 3-water area, 4-rock outcrop, 5-moderate range, 6-poor range, and 7-barren land. The selection of training samples for classification was based on Google Earth images, visual interpretation of satellite images, and of course familiarity with the study area. After classification, the maps were validated based on general accuracy statistics and the Kappa coefficient. However, in order to know the relationship between land use changes and the hydrological regime of the catchments, Pearson two-way correlation test was used in the SPSS software environment. This test was performed at a significance level of 0.05 and between the percentages of the area of each land use and the monthly discharge values (6 months) of hydrometric stations during 4 year.Results and Discussion Preliminary results showed good accuracy of the classification method of the images so that kappa coefficients ranged from 0.78 to 0.95. According to the maps, it is characterized that most area of the catchments belongs to rangelands and barren lands so the changes and conversions of land use occurred mainly between these two land uses. The minimum area percentage of the catchments belonged to the water areas, which at its highest proportion occupied 0.16% and 0.1% of the area of ZirbandGolestan and SarasyabShandiz catchments, respectively. Reagards to land use changes, a decrease in rangelands and the increase of barren lands during the first (1990-2000) and the third (2010-2020) decades have been very considerable, so that 38% and 13% of the moderate rangelands of the Zirband catchment have decreased during the two decades, respectively. In contrast, barren lands have grown by 31% and 15 % over the two decades. Along with these changes, the 8% increase in the area of settlements has been proposed as the most prominent land use change during the second decade (2000-2010) in the catchments. In addition to land use changes, a review of the monthly discharge variations in the catchments showed that the winter months have been experiencing a decreasing trend and, in contrast, the spring months have been experiencing an increasing trend of discharge over the last two decades. The results of the correlation test showed that there are significant relationships between changes in areas of rock outcrop, moderate range, poor range, and discharge variations in the Zirband catchment. In contrast, no significant relationships were found between land uses and monthly discharges in the Sarasyab catchment. In regard to the quality of relationships, positive correlation between the areas of 3 land uses, including residential, rock outcrop, and barren land, and discharges in April and May, and in contrast, a negative correlation between rangeland areas and discharge of the mentioned months was another important result of the study. In general, the increase in human encroachment and occupation in the form of residential and barren land uses has increased the risks of the occurrence of flooding runoff. On the contrary, the rangeland expansion with its protective and moderating effect has reduced the occurrence of spring floods in the studied catchments.Conclusion The results indicate that an important focus of land use change in the catchments has been on rangeland and barren land, so in the last decades, the area of rangelands, which play an effective role in protecting water and soil resources, has been much larger than today. However, due to the lack of protection of pastures and human encroachment on the environment, as well as overgrazing of livestock, the rangelands have gradually retreated to the upstream areas and were replaced by barren lands and residential areas. The existence of a positive correlation between the areas of the residential, rock outcrop, and barren land and discharges in April and May is indicative of acceleration and intensification of the rainfall-runoff process due to the increase in the areas of the land uses. Therefore, the irregular and sprawling growth and expansion of residential areas, as well as barren and abandoned lands, must be prevented. On the other hand, the negative correlation between the percentage area of rangeland and monthly discharge refers to the positive effect of rangelands on the environmental conditions of the catchments in the context of accelerated runoff and erosion processes, which ultimately requires the protection and preservation of natural areas. In general, more attention and focus on the effects of land use change on discharge variations in wet seasons due to the semi-arid climate of the region is necessary. Manuscript profile

        Extensive exploitation of groundwater resources in the Mashhad-Chenaran aquifer in the last 50 years (1970-2021) has led to a sharp decline in groundwater levels. Negative effects of subsidence due to the severe development of groundwater resources have occurred in some parts of the plain since the late 1980s and in recent years has covered the entire plain. In this study, subsidence of the entire Mashhad-Chenaran plain has been investigated using Sentinel-1A radar image data between 2014 and 2020 using Small Baseline Subset(SBAS) Interfergrametry method. Examination of subsidence maps shows that there are three subsidence areas including area 1 in the southeast of Mashhad, area 2 in the northwest of Mashhad and area 3 in the northwest of the plain. The maximum annual sitting rate in the two subsidence zones is equal to 19 cm per year and in the two subsidence zones 1 and 3 are 8.9 and 12.1 cm per year, respectively. The results of the time series rate estimated using radar image processing at the location of Golmakan GPS stations and Toos power plant with the actual measured values show the high compliance of these two time series. Adaptation of 30-year groundwater level drop curves and subsidence map shows that the triple subsidence zones correspond to areas with groundwater level drop of more than 30 meters. Also, to investigate the relationship between subsidence and groundwater level drop, correlation coefficients and determination coefficients for each well have been calculated using groundwater level and subsidence data at the location of selected observation wells. Based on the obtained correlation coefficients, the selected wells are divided into two groups with a correlation coefficient of more than 0.8 (75% of wells) and between 0.46 and 0.008, which indicates a good correlation between subsidence rate and groundwater level drop in the most observation wells.

        Quinoline alkaloids and their derivatives have wide medical and agricultural applications. In this research, a quantitative structure- property relationship (QSPR) has been employed to predict the octanol-water partition coefficient (logP) of 76 quinoline alkaloid camptothecin (CPT) derivatives as antitumor potencies using GA-MLR method and molecular descriptors. The Gauss View 05 software was used for drawing chemical structure of the studied compounds. The geometry optimizations of the studied compounds were done by the Gaussian 09W software at B3YLP density functional theory (DFT) with 6-311G (d,p) basis set. Molecular descriptors for each of optimized structures were calculated by Dragon software in different category. In order to reduce and select the best descriptors, the Genetic Algorithm technique and stepwise multiple linear regression method was used. The pearson coefficient correlation (PCC) and the variance inflation factor (VIF) statistics were used to test the multicollinearity of descriptors in the best model. The different types of internal and external validations were used to evaluate predictive model performance. The best QSPR model is obtained with R2 value of 0.901, Q2LOO =0.919, and RMSE=0.706.     The results of statistical parameters and validations of the GA-MLR model generated were found to be satisfactory. The model revealed that octanol-water partition coefficient of CPT derivatives is influence by ATS8e (2D-autocorrelation) descriptor. This information could be used to design novel quinoline alkaloid camptothecin (CPT) derivatives as insecticide agents.   Manuscript profile

        It is now a common practice in the mining industry to deal with several correlated exploratory attributes, which need to be jointly simulated to reproduce their correlations and assess the multivariate grade risk. Approaches to multivariate simulation, which remove the correlation between attributes of interest prior to simulation and re-imposing of the relationship afterward, have been gaining popularity over the more common joint simulation methodologies. This is due to their better accuracy and computational efficiency as the number of attributes for simulation increases. Principal component analysis (PCA) is one of these approaches. However, PCA suffers from some drawbacks such as the factors that are uncorrelated just for collocated locations. Minimum/maximum autocorrelation factors (MAF) is a modification of the PCA method where the factors are uncorrelated for two lags. As an expectation, when the linear co-regionalization model contains only two nested structures, the factors do not have any spatial correlations. The main aim of this research is to compare the results of the MAF approach with some traditional approaches for multivariate simulation (co-simulation and independent simulation approaches). To this end, two variables have been simulated with three different methods and are then compared based on some yardsticks such as the ability to reproduce the original correlation coefficient between two variables. The results showed that MAF has the capability to reproduce the intrinsic correlation between the variables.  Manuscript profile

        Conodonts are the most important fossil remains from the largest Phanerozoic extinction as well as the mass extinction of the late Paleozoic and could be used for exact dating during this period. Triassic deposits located in the Elikah Formation contain exposures in most of the Alborz sections as well as the Zal section in northwestern Iran. In this study, the Elikah Formation was investigated from a biostratigraphy point of view in the type section and Ruteh section of the Alborz Mountains and Zal section in the Jolfa region based on the existing conodonts. Biostratigraphy study of more than 300 samples taken from these three sections, resulted in the identification and introduction of the following conodont biozones: Taxone Range Zone Hindeodus parvus and Pachycladina symmetrica – Pachycladina Oblique Assemblage Zone in the type section, Hindeodus parvus Taxon Range Zone, Hadrodontina –Pachycladina Assemblage Zone and Parachirognathus – Furnishius Assemblage Zone in the Ruteh section and finally Hindeodus parvus Taxon Range Zone, Isracicella staeschei Taxon Range Zone and Arachirognathus – Furnishius Assemblage Zone in the Zal section. These biozones indicate that the Elikah Formation, in the three previously defined sections, is Early Triassic (Griesbachian). Additionally, comparison of the biozones in these sections illustrates a biostratigraphic correlation of Early Triassic deposits in the Zal, Ruteh and type sections. Manuscript profile

        Tomatoes have many varieties that differ in traits of plant growth, quality and shape of the fruit and other traits. In order to investigate the morphological variation of some tomato cultivars in Khash region, an experiment was conducted as a randomized complete block design with three replications and ten cultivars including Orabana, Red Claude, Red Top, Red Jerez, Western Red, Sunsild, Rio Grande, Delba F1, Tivi F1 and blankets Pride. At the end of the experiment traits such as number of fruits per plant, average fruit weight, fruit diameter, final yield, biomass, harvest index, fruit juice volume, fruit dry weight, total soluble solids, acidity and vitamin C were evaluated as agronomic traits. Were affected. At the end of the experiment, after multiple analyzes, it was found that Tivi F1 and Delba F1 hybrids and Orabana had the highest yield and were suitable for cultivation in Khash region. Also, cluster analysis showed that among the 10 varieties of 3 varieties in group A, 5 varieties in group B and 2 in group C were placed. This grouping showed that genetic diversity followed a significant pattern, because cultivars with better and more closely related conditions under conditions were similar in the same groups. Based on stepwise regression results, the number of fruits per plant justified 63.09% of the fruit yield per plant changes. After fruit number per plant, average fruit weight and number of days to flowering had the greatest effect on fruit yield per plant. Manuscript profile

        The special importance of the Karaj River and Dam in the establishment of sustainable security of water supply in Tehran and maintaining the ecological stability of the aquatic environment and human activities related to water play a prominent and vital role. The aim of this study was to identify sources of pollutants. Quality of surface water resources for 8 water quality parameters (sulfate, chlorine, calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, total solute, electrical conductivity and sodium uptake ratio) in 10 Karaj-Amir dam dams It was great. In this study, the effect of changes in hydrological parameters on pollutant sources as well as the spatial origin of these pollutants and the appropriateness of watershed management measures during the 40-year period from 1347 to 1398 were investigated using Convik correlation analysis and principal component analysis. The results showed that the application of factor analysis in evaluating surface water quality parameters is one of the important cases for source and elimination of information noise. Focal variables 1 and 2 with correlation coefficients of 0.98 and 0.81 have potential ability especially for changes in environmental variables such as rainfall (H) and The volume of annual sediments (W) has a direct effect on the three elements of water quality, namely calcium, total salts and total hydrogen ratio, respectively, and they establish a direct relationship. The results showed that the share of incoming pollution load from the tributaries of the Karaj River due to the uses located in them in the pollution of the dam reservoir is more than the main tributary of the river and its uses. In particular, the sub-basins of Velayatrud, Shahrestanak and Sira have a total of more than one third of the share of pollution entering the reservoir. Manuscript profile

        The occurrence of droughts in the past few decades, rising global temperatures, and the exponential growth of population around the world, highlights the need for the quantitative and qualitative study of water resources. On the other hand, the construction of some structures, such as dams, increases the importance of studying the water quality at the construction site of such structures. In this study, using hydrogeochemical methods, the quality of groundwater in the construction site of Shahid Dam (located in the south of Semirom city) was evaluated. For this purpose, the correlation between the parameters was determined, the groundwater type was investigated using diagrams of Piper, Durov, and Stiff, geochemical ion ratios, ionic processes, and ion exchange reverse. The abundance of the main elements in the groundwater of the region includes TDS> HCo3> Ca> So4> Cl> Mg> Na> K. The chemical parameters of water in all cases in terms of drinking are favorable. The results show that there is a direct relationship with a high correlation (0.97) between EC and TDS, while a weak correlation was observed between other parameters. In general, it can be said that the relationship between HCo3 and EC, TDS, and other parameters has a higher correlation. The predominant type of groundwater in the study area is calcium bicarbonate and most of the samples have freshwater facies. According to the diagram (Na / Cl) vs. (EC), reverse ion exchange occurred in 11 samples, and only one sample had a dual origin of clay sediments and saline water intrusion. Based on the Ca + Mg versus HCo3 + So4 diagram, all samples show normal ion exchange. Manuscript profile

        Robat sefid region located in mashhad to torbat road and surrounded with ophiolite outcrop serpentine formation that could be mentioned as source of Lithogenic contamination.   Considering importance of this matter, in this paper heavy metal studying and evaluation have been done in soil sources of robat sefid region. So heavy metal density in 11 soil samples have been studied and interoperated. For this aim multivariate statistical methods and index of geoaccumulation, enrichment factor, contamination factor and modified degree of contamination have been used. Correlations between elements have been evaluated with multivariate statistical methods (Pearson Correlation, Cluster Analysis and principle component analysis). Based on evaluations, ophiolite rocks (Serpentine، Gabbro، Dunite and Harzburgite) has been considered as Lithogenic source of elements in region. Based on index of geoaccumulation measurement for soil, Nicole has the highest rate of contamination in this region. Enrichment factor calculation shows that Nicole and Chromo have very high contamination and Cobalt has high contamination in this region. Also contamination factor measurement shows severe enrichment of Nicole in this region but region geology structures and ophiolite rocks weathering are the entrance source of these heavy metals and have Lithogenic source.

        The urban thermal island phenomenon has intensified in recent years, due to the changes in urban airspace along with the rise of urbanization. Spatial-temporal patterns of biophysical constituents, which include vegetation, impermeable surfaces and soil type in the city, have a significant impact on urban thermal islands. The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of effective urban parameters in the formation and clustering of Yazd urban thermal islands. In order to achieve the proposed goal, the thermal map was developed using the single-window algorithm on the thermal band of OLT sensor of Landsat ETM+ sensors for August, 2015 and 2017; Land surface temperature (LST) was calculated and using spatial correlation (LISA), hot and cold clusters of thermal islands of Yazd were extracted. In order to evaluate the surface temperature, with the intensity of LST, spatial heterogeneity of the clusters increases nonlinearly. The relationship between the thermal islands with NDVI and urban carrion layers were investigated: cold clusters are around the places with more green space and hot clusters are in the arid areas and in areas without vegetation cover. The result of the correlation between the surface temperature and the NDVI, NDBI, and NDBaI indicated that the relationship between NDVI and LST is negative, and the relationship between NDBaI and LST is also nonlinear and negative. But the relationship between NDBI and LST is nonlinear and positive. A spatial correlation with the local index has emphasized on the extent of thermal islands in the studied periods.

        Rational Function Models (RFMs) are known as the most famous mathematical transformations used in geometric correction of satellite images. Considering the lack of enough and well-distributed Ground Control Points (GCPs), the structure optimization is a critical step in the terrain-dependent RFM estimation strategy. Heretofore, the binary encoding Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimization method has been used to find the optimal structure of RFMs. However, randomized generation of initial population can directly impact the convergence and also computational costs. In this paper, an approach has been proposed to modify the initial population of the GA algorithm based on the correlations of the column vectors of the least square design matrix. In this approach, probability of the presence of each RFM term in the GA initial population is linearly dependent on its correlation with other terms. Although this method slightly decreases the geometric accuracy, it can fall the processing time by 37.02% on average. Manuscript profile

        Punica granatum L. (pomegranate), is among important horticultural plants which is cultivated in many parts of the world and appreciated for its fruit value and medicinal properties. Several pomegranate cultivars are cultivated in Iran which differs in fruit characteristics and agronomical features. In spite of economic importance of pomegranate cultivars, limited knowledge is available on genetic and cytogenetic peculiarities of these cultivars. Therefore, we aimed to investigate cytogenetically twelve unreported cultivars and also compile all available data on chromosome pairing, chiasma frequency and meiotic irregularities in 88 cultivars and carry on a meta analysis. We found all cultivars to have 2n = 2x = 16 chromosome number, but significantly differed in all meiotic features studied. Most of meiotic features studied were significantly correlated while PCA analysis revealed that characters like chiasma frequency and distribution as well as ring bivalents are associated to each other and differentiated the cultivars which were distributed towards longitude. Similarly, characters related to meiotic irregularities such as chromosome stickiness and anaphase failure differentiated the cultivars which were distributed toward altitude. PCA plot placed pomegranate cultivars in three major groups due to meiotic difference. Data obtained can be used in future conservation and breeding of pomegranate. Manuscript profile

        Study the relationships of some agronomic traits with grain yield of 14 late maturing corn hybrids, an experiment based in RCBD with four replications was carried out at Miyandoab Agricultural and Natural Resources Research Station in 2009. Results showed that there were significant differences among corn hybrids for plant and ear height, number of kernel row and kernel numbers per ear, 1000 kernel weight, biological yield and grain yield. Hybrid KLM76005 × MO17 produced highest grain yield. Grain yield had high positive significant correlations with biological yield and harvest index. Stepwise regression analysis showed that traits like harvest index, biological yield and 1000 kernel weight justified the grain yield variation. Path analysis indicated that these traits had the highest positive direct and significant effect on grain yield. Based on the cluster analysis results, corn hybrids under study divided into 5 groups. Groups number 2 and 3 in cluster analysis did have higher mean values for effective traits on grain yield (harvest index, biological yield and 1000 kernel weight) as compared to the others. Grain yield had negative significant correlation with GDD at tasseling time and total GDD during growing season. Based on principle components analysis basic vector values two factors explained data total variation by 80.3 %. Based on results obtained it can be concluded that Hybrid KLM76005 × MO17 due to its higher biological yield and harvest index would be the best option to be recommended. Manuscript profile

In supplementary irrigation conditions, these traits showed higher values as compared to those of rainfed condition. The application of supplementary irrigation resulted in reduced leaf and canopy temperatures. The coefficients of simple correlation between the traits, for both of the rain-fed and supplementary irrigation systems, indicated that cell membrane stability, flag leaf length, straw yield, relative water content, 1000 seed weight, chlorophyll content, leaf and canopy temperatures were maximally correlated with the seed yield. Traits like straw yield and flag leaf length were inserted into the regression model of rainfed irrigation condition and traits such as the straw yield, flag leaf length, relative water content and spike yield were also inserted into the regression model of supplementary irrigation condition the results demonstrated that the former traits accounted for 0.741 of the seed yield variations and the latter traits explained 0.899 of the seed yield variation. Path coefficient analysis showed highest positive direct effect on seed yield in rain-fed condition, and straw yield and flag leaf length, relative water content, flag leaf length and spike yield in supplementary irrigation condition. Based on the results of this study, straw yield was found to be the most important indicator to select for higher yielding varieties of wheat under both rainfed and supplementar irrigation conditions.

        Relationships between grain yield and yield components in some hull-less barley lines were studied in experiment conducted in a randomized complete block design with 4 replications at the Research Station of Agriculture of Gorgan, Iran. During growth season several characteristics including plant height spike length, number of spike per m2, biological yield, number of total tillers, number of fertile tillers, number of kernel per spike, number of spikelet per spike, relative water content (RWC), coefficient of membrane stability (CMS), flag leaf area, Na/K ratio, grain yield, 1000 kernel weight and harvest index were measured. Results showed that stepwise multivariate analysis was the best suitable model in evaluating of the yield. Path analysis showed that correlation among characteristics which remained in the model was broken into direct and indirect effects. The results derived from correlation and path analysis indicated that almost 70% of the yield increase was due to the direct effect of 1000 kernel weight. Number of kernel per spike was positively significant and number of fertile tillage was also found to have positive and significant direct effect on yield, but number of fertile tiller indirectly affects by higher 1000 kernel weight.

        To investigate the effect of different seed primings on quantitative and qualitative characteristics of two sugar beet cultivars a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications, was carried out in both laboratory and field at the Agricultural and Natural Resources Research Center of West Azarbaijan province in 2015-16. The factors were two cultivars (Ekbatan and 7233) and five kinds of seed primings (seed hardening, priming with nano fertilizer, priming with pigeon manure extract, hydropriming and control). The results of combined analysis of variance showed that there were significant differences between genotypes for root yield and white sugar content. It was also, revealed that primings for all traits, except percent of sugar extraction, alkalinity and white sugar content, were significant. In this study, cultivar 7233, as compared with Ekbatan, produced higher root yield and sugar content. Furthermore, hydropriming produced higher germination percentage (96.50%), speed of germination (9.56 seeds/day), root yield (80.33 t.ha-1), sugars content (23.11%), sugar yield (18.38 t.ha-1) than other seed primings. Based on stepwise regression analysis, four traits, like sugars content, root yield, sugar extraction percentage and molasses sugar, justified 98% of white sugar yield variations. Thus, these four traits were identified as the most effective ones for white sugar yield. It can be, therefore, concluded that hydropriming would be a proper seed priming to improve the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of sugar beet.  Manuscript profile

        Performance of five Chinese commercial lines of silkworm like 32, 104, 110, 152, 154 and five Japanese ones such as 31, 103, 107, 151, 153 were investigated at four rearing periods of two spring and two summer seasons. Total hatch, rearing steps, recording and experimental activities were conducted under standard conditions of ESCAP (1993). The results indicated that maternal base effect all of effects in model (generation, genus and hybrid group) was significant (P<0.0001). Except for maternal base effect, other present ingredient in statistic model were extremely significant (P<0.0001) as compared with mean effects of all ingredients studied except the maternal base effect over characters cocoon weight, cocoon shell weight and cocoon shell percentage was significant (P<0.0001). Variance components estimated, by using one trait analysis method, showed that 153×154 and 31×32 hybrids had high heritability (0.8365 and 0.7848 for cocoon weight trait respectively). Thus, it could be said that rate of genetic gain from accomplishment of selection programs using from this hybrids for new lines production would be appreciable. Also it seems 153×154 despite its high heritability for individual traits (0.8365 and 0.9854 for cocoon weight and shell cocoon weight respectively) did have lower mean relative to 31×32 and this shown this hybrid may be sensitive to environmental conditions. The results obtained from estimation of genetic, environment and phenotypic correlations using two trait analysis methods is shown that the hybrid 153×154 had maximum additive genetic correlation. It can be concluded that hybrid 31×32 concerning most economical characters was superior. Manuscript profile

        In order to compare and classify of 15Iranian lentil landraces under drought stress conditions after flowering, an experiment was carried out in split plot lay out based on randomized complete block design with four replications. It was performed at the Agricultural Research Station of Islamic Azad University, Tabriz Branch, during the cropping year of 2011. The primary factor consisted of drought stress treatments at 2 levels (non stress and stress after flowering) and secondary factor of 15 lentil landraces. Analysis of variance indicated remarkable diversities among the landraces under study and significant differences for interaction of genotype by drought stress levels were obtained for most of the traits measured. Grain yield and number of grains per plant were highly influenced by drought stress. Mean comparisons also showed significant variations among the landraces for number of pods per plant, number of grains per plant, 100- grain weight, hecto liter weight, biological yield, grain yield and harvest index. Drought stress also reduced of plant height, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per plant, 100- seeds weight, hectoliter weight, biological yield, grain yield and harvest index of the lentil landraces under study. Correlation coefficients revealed that, number of seeds per plant and harvest index had significant and positive effect on seed yield under drought stress. Cluster analysis, based on the traits studied, divided the landraces into three groups. In this classification, the landraces of Kaleybar, Garadagh, Kharvana, Horand Danehriz and Shomale Varzegan were distinguished as superior landraces under drought conditions.   Manuscript profile

        To identify drought tolerant genotypes, by using different indices and presenting the best indices, four separate trials at the Agricultural Research Stations of Miyandoab, Mashhad, Hamedan, and Ardabil, were conducted with 18 wheat lines and two checks in a randomized complete block design with three replications during 2006-2007, under full-irrigation and exposing the lines to drought stress at grain filling stage. Result showed that lines 2(C-80-4) and 8(Bkt/90-Zhong 87), also named as Mihan variety, having the maximum values of MP, GMP, STI, HARM, RDI and the least values of TOL and SSI indices, identified to be as high grain yielders in both full irrigation and water deficit at grain filling stage. The significant and positive correlations of YP and YS with MP, GMP, STI, and HARM, indicated that they are the proper indices to select high yielding wheat genotypes under stress and non-stress conditions. According to principle component analysis, two components justified 99.83% of all variations. First vector showed 70.85% of variations, yield potential component and drought tolerance indices (MP, GMP, STI, HARM and RDI) and the second rector justified 28.98% of total variations which would be named as “drought susceptible components (TOL and SSI indices). According to results of cluster analysis, MP, GMP, STI, HARM indices are found to be in one group, and TOL and SSI indices in the other group.  Manuscript profile

        To identify the effectis traits on grain yield under normal irrigation and water deficit conditions, 65 wheat recombinant inbred lines derived from the crossing of Yecora Rojo American cultivar (a high yielder, dwarf and early) and No.49 Iranian line (medium yielder, tall and late) split-plot experiments based on randomized complete bloks design with two replications was performed at Agriculture Research Station, University of Tabriz, in 2013. Irrigation levels were considered as main factor and lines as sub factor. The analysis of variance showed that the differences among irrigation levels for grain yield, plant height, peduncle length, root volume and root weight were significant. The differences among wheat lines and intraction between line irrigation levels for all of the traits were also significant. Under normal irrigation condition, grain yield had significant an positieve correlation with plant height, highest spike, number of seeds per spike, peduncle length, 1000 seed weight, spike length, straw yield and root length. Under drought stress condition, grain yield had significant and positive correlation with the number of grains per spike, number of fertile spikes, peduncle length, root length and straw yield. Path analysis, based on the stepwise regression method, revealed that the plant height, peduncle length, number of grains per spike, straw yield, number of fertile spike and root length undernormal irrigation condition and number of grains per spike, 1000 grain weight, number of fertile spikes, root length and root weight under water condition were effective traits on seed yield.

        To study the relationships among traits of thyme ecotypes, two experiments under non-stress and drought stress conditions were carried out using randomized complete block design with four replications in Abarkouh during 2017-2018 cropping season. Correlation analysis was used for evaluation of relationships among traits. Stepwise regression and path analysis were used for determination of effective traits on shoot dry weight and for determination of direct and indirect effects on shoot dry weight, respectively. Factor analysis was used for identifying factors that produce special correlations among measured variables. Correlation coefficients among traits showed that there were significant positive correlation among traits like shoot fresh and dry weight with maximum and minimum diameter of canopy, canopy area, leaf length, number of stems per plant and essential oil yield under both conditions. The result of stepwise regression showed that canopy area, leaf width, leaf length, number of flower in inflorescence and number of days to 50% of flowering under non-stress condition and canopy area, leaf width, leaf length and number of days to 50% of flowering under stress condition were entered to the stepwise regression model. The result of path analysis under both conditions showed that canopy area had the highest direct and positive effect on shoot dry weight and leaf width and negative effect on shoot dry weight. Based on factor analysis, three factors were selected and these factors explained 76% of total variation under both conditions and traits such as shoot fresh and dry weight, maximum and minimum diameter of canopy, canopy area, leaf length, number of stems per plant and essential oil yield were main components of these factors.

        To calculate correlation coefficients and path analysis of some traits related to grain yield, 15 genotypes of safflower were studied under non-stress and drought stress conditions at two different sites (with 10 meter distance) in the field of College of Agriculture of Lorestan University, Iran. Each experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Analysis of variance showed that there were significant differences among the genotypes for all measured traits and yield in both stress and non- stress conditions. By using stepwise regression, best model was estimated for the two conditions. Sequential path analysis of the correlation between grain yield and other traits showed that days to start flowering, 1000-seed weight and stem diameter had direct effects on grain yield under non-stress conditions, while under drought conditions, seed weight per plant and 1000-seed weight had direct and positive effects on grain yield. Thus, to obtain high yielding varieties of safflower under drought stress condition, we showed attempt to select varieties with high seed weight per plant. Manuscript profile

        To identify drought tolerant lines among 168 recombinant inbred lines derived from a cross between Hindi variety of L3685 (high yielding, erect type and early growth) as female parent and Iranian variety of Qazvin (with prostrate growth and late growth) as male parent, two experiments were conducted in randomized complete block design with three replications under non-stress and drought stress conditions at the experimental Field of Shahrekord University in 2013. Results of combined analysis of variance showed that there were significant differences among lines under study in both experimental conditions in terms of grain yield (P≤0.01). Significant interaction of line×conditions revealed that lines responded differently to drought stress based on grain yield. Results also indicates that lines 160, 125 and 129 were promising lines under both conditions in terms of grain yield. Positive and significant correlation between tolerance indices and grain yield under stress and non-stress conditions indicated that the STI, MP, HARM and GMP indices may identify promising from non promising lines. Based on the above criteria, lines 160, 125, 48, 103 and 129 were recognized as drought tolerant lines. According to the results of principal components analysis, the first and second components determined 97.8% of the total variations among genotypes under study for drought resistance indices. The distribution of lines in the biplot showed genetic variations to the drought stress and thus lines 160, 125, 48, 129 and 103 were identified as high yielders under drought stress condition.

        To investigate relationships among physiological traits of 20 rapeseed cultivars, an experiment was conducted at the Research Farm of Agricultural Faculty of Shirvan in Northern Khorasan in Iran, in 2014-2015. The experiment used was a randomized complete block design with four replications. Results showed that there were significant differences among cultivars for seed and biological yield, the number of pod/plant and seed/pod, 1000 seed weight, harvest index, days to germination, seedling, rosette, shooting, flowering time, end of flowering, pod formation time, end of pod formation, seed filling time and physiological maturity among the traits of rapeseed under study. The highest yield belonged to Traviata (513.56 g/m2) but did not have significant difference with Kodiak, Bilbao, L72 and SW102. The lowest yield belonged to Shirali cultivar (344.41 g.m-2) but it also did not have significant difference with Zarfam and Sarigol cultivars. Positive and significant correlation was observed for seed and biological yields, number of pods/plant and seeds/pod, seed weight, harvest index, the number of days to flowering, flowering end, beginning pod formation, ending pod formation, beginning seed filling, plant height and seed filling rate, but correlations were negative between seed yield and seed filling period and day to emergence and rosette. According to stepwise regression, seed yield was considered as dependent variable and other traits as independent ones. Positive direct effects of harvest index and biological yield and also positive indirect effect of biological yield on number of pod/plant and positive indirect effect number of pod/plant on harvest index were the traits that can be used for selection of high yielding genotypes. Path analysis revealed that traits like seed weight and seed number per unit, seed number and seed weight are its determiners of seed yield. The results also showed that seed filling rate is more effect than seed filling period in determination of seed weight. Regression analysis also showed that by increasing temperature, seed filling period was decreased by 1.54 days and seed filling rate increased 0.004 mg/grain.day-1 centigrad-1. Based on these results it could be concluded that genotypes varied significantly for the rate and duration of seed filling.  Manuscript profile

        Abstract Infections with gastrointestinal (GI) nematodes severely affect small ruminant health and compromise their productivity and reproductive performances and can be a major cause of economic losses in small ruminant production. High burden of infections with nematodes may lead to death; and under field conditions, most infections are usually mixed consisting of different species of nematodes. Sheep and goats are infected with gastrointestinal nematodes while grazing and the biology of the infective larvae on the pastures is important in planning effective control programs. In general, the development of the free-living stages of gastrointestinal nematodes is largely dependent on temperature, with development rate increasing at warmer temperatures, while moisture is also required for the development cycle to proceed. Temperature also influences grass growth and hence exposure independently of larval development and survival. East Azerbaijan province in terms of livestock animal population in particular sheep breeding is one of the most important provinces of Iran and due to the amount of rainfall is susceptible to worm’s contamination in livestock animal. In this survey, fecal samples of 5934 sheep in 19 cities in East Azerbaijan, from 2002-2009 were examined by the Clayton-Lane method. Briefly, a sample of feces, 1-5 g, was well mixed with water (about 30-50 ml) and strained through a sieve (1 mm mesh) to remove coarse fecal material. The mixture was sedimented for 10-15 minutes on the bench, or by light centrifugation for two or three occasions, until the supernatant was clear. The sediment was then mixed with a saturated solution of sugar in a centrifuge tube (15 ml volume) and centrifuged for one or two minutes at 500 g. The egg floated and coverslips were placed on the tubes in centrifuge and after 5 min the samples were examined for the presence of eggs at 100x and 400x magnifications under the light microscope and the number eggs of Nematodirus, Marshallagia, Trichuris, unknown nematodes parasite eggs and the whole of the nematode eggs were determined in these cities by their shape and size. These data were analyzed by the SAS software. The results showed that the Kaleibar was the most infested city and the Malekan had the lowest contamination to gastrointestinal nematode parasites. Marshallagia and Trichuris had the maximum and minimum quantities of means with 11.12±32.02 and 2.23±13.78, respectively. A study on the correlation between humidity in the second month and humidity average and fecal egg count showed that there is a positive and significant (p < 0.01) correlation between them. Base on the results of this survey high humidity in regions and seasons are risk factors for propagating worm infestations and distinct handlings are necessary for preventing the mentioned phenomenon. This study survey on geographical situation in 19 cities of East-Azerbaijan indicated that the infestation rate to gastrointestinal nematodes in south of province (Malkan city) is at the minimum rate and in north province (Kaleibar city) is in maximum rate. Because the north region of East-Azerbaijan province is warmer and moister from the other regions, the high rate of infestation to GI nematodes was expected. Furthermore, differences in the population of livestock animals in the two regions are important in the rate of infestation to nematodes. In conclusion, the results of the study denoted that even approve the anthelminthic drugs in the livestock animals, the rate of infestation to GI nematodes is high. Also, the results of this survey are showed that a positive correlation is between EPG and the mean of humidity and this is important that treatment and prophylaxis are needed to decrease the risk of the disease. This research serves as a baseline for future studies on prognosis and prophylaxis of GI nematodes. These regional differences appeared to be systematic and can be ascribed to differences in applied pasture management and climatic conditions, and cause a need for regionally adapted monitoring and control systems. Keywords: Sheep, Nematode, EPG, Correlation, Humidity.

Briefly, a sample of feces, 1-5 g, was well mixed with water (about 30-50 ml) and strained through a sieve (1 mm mesh) to remove coarse fecal material. The mixture was sedimented for 10-15 minutes on the bench, or by light centrifugation for two or three occasions, until the supernatant was clear. The sediment was then mixed with a saturated solution of sugar in a centrifuge tube (15 ml volume) and centrifuged for one or two minutes at 500 g. The egg floated and coverslips were placed on the tubes in centrifuge and after 5 min the samples were examined for the presence of eggs at 100x and 400x magnifications under the light microscope and the number eggs of Nematodirus, Marshallagia, Trichuris, unknown nematodes parasite eggs and the whole of the nematode eggs were determined in these cities by their shape and size. These data were analyzed by the SAS software. The results showed that the Kaleibar was the most infested city and the Malekan had the Manuscript profile

        The aim of this research is to study the socio-economic factors affecting happiness and its relationship with individual labor force productivity. The statistical population includes all of the employees who are working in the Kermanshah manufacturing establishments with 50 employees or more. Each establishment was assigned as a layer, and the simple random sampling method was used. The data were gathered through the Oxford Happiness, individual and demographic produativity questionnaires and were analyzed using the software SPSS and Eviews. The results showed that the variables productivity, the number of children, psychological health, optimism, and ‘interest in work’ have a positive and significant relationship with happiness, but the variable monthly income has a negative relationship with happiness. Furthermore, it has been recognized that factors such as happiness, attending training classes, job satisfaction, job security, accepting job among family members, and faith in God have a positive and significant relationship with productivity. Finally, the hypothesis of equality of the means for the variables happiness and productivity has been accepted with regard to gender difference (male/female).   Manuscript profile

        Drought is one of the most important natural hazards and often affects the lives of many people and causes economic damage, environmental damage and social problems. This study was conducted to evaluate the drought trend, intensity and duration during 1988-2019 in relation to the existing climates in the southern Alborz region. To describe droughts in 3, 6, 12 and 24-month time scales, two drought indices, namely standardized precipitation index (SPI) and standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI) were used. In the case of SPEI, evapotranspiration was an important factor in monitoring drought. Therefore, (HS) method was used to calculate evapotranspiration. Drought intensity and duration maps were presented for SPI and SPEI. The correlation between SPI and SPEI was also examined. In the present results, unlike humid climates, SPI does not have a good correlation with SPEI in extremely arid and arid climates and shows the importance of reference evapotranspiration (ET0) to identify drought in these areas and the index (SPEI) has more accurate monitoring results. Relative to the index (SPI). In addition, drought intensity maps for (SPI) and (SPEI) have shown that the region is experiencing very dry conditions and water resources are affected by intense drought in the short and medium term. Short-term drought in the east of the region (Zanjan) and long-term drought in the center and west of the region (Garmsar, Semnan, Karaj, Tehran) have been more. Manuscript profile

        Temperature changes are one of the most important issues of human life in recent years and it is known as the most important manifestation of climate change in the current century. The current study was conducted with the aim of investigating the minimum temperature changes in the eastern basins of Iran and its relationship with the sea surface temperature teleconnections patterns. In this regard, the monthly minimum temperature data of Mashhad, Sarakhs, Birjand, Zabol, Zahedan and Saravan stations and the data of 14 teleconnections patterns of sea surface temperature changes during the statistical period of 1987-2019 were used. At first, minimum temperature changes were investigated using new methods of spatial statistics and hot spot analysis. Then, the relationship between the studied variables was checked using Pearson's correlation test and linear regression. The results show that in all months, hot spots were observed in the southern and eastern areas of the basin and cold spots were observed in the northern and western areas of the basin. Hot and cold spots were observed in May more than other months and hot spots covered 31.87% of the study area and cold spots covered 32.58%. Correlation of the studied parameters also showed that in terms of time, the patterns of distant connection with the minimum temperature of January showed more correlation than other months. In contrast, there was no correlation in the months of June and November. Manuscript profile

        The phenomenon of dust has become one of the natural hazards in the country today; A phenomenon that affects natural and human conditions with its harmful effects in various ways. Therefore, in this study, the continuity of dust spatial patterns in Kermanshah was investigated and analyzed. For this purpose, dust statistics of 12 synoptic stations of the province during the statistical period 1987 to 2017 were obtained from the Meteorological Organization and after creating databases to identify the spatial patterns of dust in the province, the Moran spatial index (I) was used. Linear regression trend analysis was also used to examine the trend of changes. The results showed that the maximum incidence of dust in the province is mostly limited to the western half and the minimum incidence is more related to the eastern half of the province. Also, most of the persistence of dust in the province has been observed in the areas adjacent to the Iraqi border, which indicates that the dust of the province is trans-local. The results of spatial autocorrelation patterns also showed that the occurrence of two and ten days continuity in the western half of the province, ie Qasr Shirin and Sarpol-e-Zahab regions, formed a high (positive) cluster pattern and in the eastern half of the province, ie Songhar and Harsin regions, formed a low (negative) cluster pattern. Is. Spatial patterns on a monthly scale have also experienced a situation similar to spatial patterns lasting two to ten days. Examination of the change trend also showed that on a monthly basis, except for November and December, in other months, a significant upward trend is observed at the 95% confidence level. Also, in terms of seasonality, the most intense increasing trend of dust events is related to spring and summer seasons. Manuscript profile

        In order to identify traits affecting sugar yield and determine cause and effect relationships between them, 13 different domestic and foreign sugar beet monogerm cultivars were evaluated at three different harvest time (7 October, 22 October, and 6 November) in a RCB design with four replications in terms of 11 important quantitative and qualitative traits in 2018 crop season in Miandoab Agricultural Research Station. The ANOVA results showed that the difference between studied cultivars was significant for all evaluated traits at 0.01 probability level. Phenotypic and genotypic coefficients of variation were high for most traits, indicating relatively high variability in the studied cultivars for evaluated traits. Genetic correlation coefficients between traits showed that the highest positive and significant correlations were observed between sugar yield trait on the one hand and white sugar yield (0.88**), impure sugar content (0.71**) and white sugar content (0.65**) traits in that order, and the highest negative and significant correlation was found between sugar yield trait on the one hand and molasses sugar (-0.62**), alkalinity coefficient (-0.58**), and root potassium (-0.52**) traits, in that order. In multiple regression analysis by stepwise method, sugar content, white sugar content, α-amino nitrogen, and root yield traits were entered into the regression model, respectively, that explained %84 of the total sugar yield variations. Based on path analysis results, sugar content (1.12) and root yield (1.03) traits had the highest positive direct effect on sugar yield and thus, selection based on these traits can help us to achieve high-yielding genotypes.

        One of the medicinal plants in resort areas of Mazandaran province is Phlomis olivieri which is widely used in pharmaceutical, food and cosmetics industries. This study was investigated the essential oil compounds of Phlomis olivieri aerial parts in Baladeh (Noor) and Kelardasht and also investigating the effect of soil physical and chemical properties on quantitiy and quality of essential oil. Eerial parts of plants were collected and essential oil was extracted with Clevenger device and compounds were identified with GC and GC/MS. Soil samples were randomly picked and were transfered to soil science laberatory to determine physical and chemical properties. The results showed that in Baladeh region, 27 compounds were identified which comprise 92.04 percent of total essential oil volume. At Kelardasht site, 26 compounds were identified which comprise 97.43 percent of total essential oil volume. The highest compounds in both regions were: Alpha- pinene, Beta-Caryophyllene, (E)-Beta-Farnesence, Germacrene- D, Germacrene– B and Beta-Eudesmol. Average essential oil efficiency in Baladeh and Kelardasht sites were 0.35 and 0.75, respectively which the highest essential oil amount was achieved in Kelardasht region. There was positive correlation between essential oil yield and saturation percentage and soil absorbable nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium explaining that with increasing these elements, essential oil yield was increased. Also, positive and significant correlation was observed between essential oil yield and organic carbon and matter percent at probability of 5 percent. Negative and significant correlation was found between essential oil efficiency and pH at probability of 1 percent which means that the lower essential oil with increment in this factor. Due to the Kelardasht has a higher yield of essential oil and also the percentage of essential oil compounds than Baladeh, the use of Phlomis olivieri is recommended in Kelardasht for cultivation and also for more production of these compounds.

        In order to identify the agrotechnological features on sugar yield and determine the cause and effect relationships between them, 13 different domestic and foreign monogerm varieties of sugar beet were evaluated in a completely randomized design with four replications in terms of 11 important quantitative and qualitative traits in the station Miandoab Agricultural Research Station during three different harvest dates (October 15, October 30, and November 15) in the crop year 2017. The results of analysis of variance showed that the differences between the studied cultivars in terms of all evaluated traits were significant at p≤0.01. Phenotypic and genotypic diversity coefficients were high for most of the traits, which indicates relatively high diversity in the studied cultivars for the evaluated traits. The genetic correlation coefficients between the traits showed that the highest positive and significant correlation was between the sugar yield trait and the pure sugar yield traits (0.88), gross sugar percentage (0.71), and pure sugar percentage (0.65) in this order while there was a negative and significant correlation between the sugar yield trait and the traits of molasses sugar content (-0.62), alkalinity coefficient (-0.58), and root potassium content (-0.52). In the step-by-step multiple regression analysis, sugar percentage traits, gross sugar percentage, harmful nitrogen content and root yield were entered into the regression model in that order, which justified 84% of the total sugar yield. Based on the results of causality analysis, the traits of gross sugar percentage (1.12) and root yield (1.03) respectively had the most direct effect on sugar yield, so selection based on these traits can help us achieve the genotypes with high sugar yields.  Manuscript profile

        In order to study the correlation between grain yield and its components with some morphological characterstics, an experiment was conducted at the research station of Faculty of Agriculture, Islamic Azad University–Shabestar Branch in 2005. This experiment was arranged in a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications, and 15 traits were measured. The results of analysis of variance showed that significant difference exist among genotypes in almost traits. Positive and significant relationships were found among grain yield with plant height, hectoliter weight, biological yield and oil yield but non-significant relationship was seen among grain yield with number of head per plant and oil percentage. Stepwise regression and path coefficient analysis of grain yield as dependent variables indicated that plant height, number of seeds per head, 100-seed weight and hectoliter weight had positive and a high effect on the grain yield. The greatest effect was related to the 100-seed weight (0.352) and the least effect was from the number of head per plant (0.138) on grain yield. The main head weight and number of seed per head impacts the most changes on 100-seed weight. Manuscript profile

        Urban green space is among the most significant land uses which has been referred to as the lungs of cities. Since the main objectives of urban planning are health, comfort, and beauty, site selection of urban green space is regarded as one of the most important elements of the urban environment having a large contribution to space utility and amenity for citizens. So, paying special attention to space – spatial organization of this use is an essential step in ensuring the welfare of citizens. The aim of the present study is practical- developmental taking advantage of a descriptive and analytical method. Here, using the tools available in the ARC GIS 10.3 software and the analytical means of the GeoDa software, an analysis of the spatial distribution of green space use in urban areas of Ardebil city is presented, and ultimately, it has been attempted to provide solutions for optimization of the status quo. In this study, the library – field research method were used to gather the basic required data. Moreover, Moran’s Bivariate correlation index (Moran’s I) is used to analyze the spatial distribution of green spaces, the relationship between the per capita green space distribution with the population density of the areas, and the rate of the green space area with the area of ​​each region is assessed. The analytical results of the Bivariate Moran’s I indicated a negative spatial autocorrelation (Li) between population density and per capita green space in the regions of Ardebil city. The analysis of the relationship between the area of the green spaces and the urban areas of Ardebil showed no significant relationship between them. In other words, an increased population density and urban area of ​​Ardebil could not improve its per capita and the green space use area. Manuscript profile

        The assessment of urban heat islands is considered as a key variable in the studies of environmental sciences because modeling the interactions of the land surface flux can best respond to many urban problems of modern societies. This study aimed to detect heat islands over Arak city and their clustering was done. For this purpose, the satellite images of Landsat 8 (OLI and TIRS) related to August for three consecutive years 2013, 2014 and 2015 were taken from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Site. For the extraction of Urban Heat Islands (UHI) values of Land Surface Temperatures (LST), Moran's autocorrelation functions and hot spot analyses by MATLAB and Arc GIS capabilities were used. After land surface temperature (LST) calculation, hot and cold clusters of heat islands over Arak were extracted using the hot spot analysis index. To evaluate the factors affecting on the formation and clustering of heat islands in Arak NDVI and NDBI indices were used. The results showed that there is a high correlation between the two parameters, vegetation and urban built areas with land surface temperature so that the vegetation index has moderated and urban built areas has exacerbated the heat islands over Arak city. Comparative assessment of urban heat islands led to the detection of two types of heat islands over Arak: Focal heat islands and the linear heat islands. Moran's spatial autocorrelation analysis revealed that the land surface temperature has spatial structure in Arak; in other words, land surface temperature is distributed in clusters in Arak. Finally, analysis of hot spots is a clear confirmation on focus and clustering of heat islands over Arak by increasing the time period. Manuscript profile

        This study was fulfilled aiming at the identification of spatial and temporal changes of temperature islands in Isfahan province First, a data basis of the highest and lowest net-based temperature and a committee were founded in Isfahan. Using the data of the basis, a statistical period of 35 years from 1980 to 2014 was chosen as the basis of the study and a geo with dimensions of 18 by 18 kilometers was spread on the area understudy. In order to access the during-year changes of the temperature islands of Isfahan, modern methods of spatial statistics such as Moran's I autocorrelation and hotspots in GIS environment were used. The results of the study showed that the changes of spatial and temporal in temperature islands of Isfahan possess a high cluster pattern. Based on the local Moran’s indicator and hotspot, the temperature islands of the east and north of the province have a positive spatial autocorrelation while the west and southwest areas have negative spatial correlation. During the study 41.45 of the province has not had any meaningful pattern or spatial autocorrelation. It was also shown that the temperature islands are controlled and affected by the local factors which control the space as well as the outside factors which control the time. Manuscript profile

        Risk level evaluation of power systems and reduction of its related destructive effects costs have been transformed to one of the basic challenges in power industry’s operation and scheduling. In this paper a new method for mathematical modeling of failure correlation of parallel transformers using Poisson process and multi-Gaussian Copula function is presented. In this method, by using computation of selected reliability indices and related costs, a modeling method for estimation of expectation value of failure cost of parallel transformers with failure correlation and also cost of annual risk of power system has been proposed. According to the capability of production of stage-gate process of the system real mode and failure correlation and probability of parallel transformers, sequential Monte Carlo method for calculation of system’s reliability indices and related costs estimation has been employed. Simulation results of the proposed method show that annual increase of failure correlation probability of parallel transformers in power stations, will lead to increase of expectation value of their failure, level and cost of power system’s risk.

        Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals are the most popular non-invasive approach for diagnosis of heart irregularities and indications of possible heart diseases. Previous studies have shown that ECG signals do not have a linear distribution and contain a variety of non-linear dimensions. In the present research we have treated the ECG signals as time-series data and applied chaos indices analysis. Utilizing data from MIT_BIH Database, the present study has improved the past research by analysing chaotic indices  such as Lyapunov Exponent (λmax), and Correlation Dimension to ECG signal data from healthy individuals and heart patients. We present appropriate algorithms for reconstruction of Phase Space and estimations of the model parameters using Lyapunov Exponent and CorrelationDimension.We then present the results from reconstruction of Phase Space based on chaotic indices, and fuzzy classifier, to discriminate healthy individuals (NSR) from the heart patients.The heart patients include those with Arterial Fibrillation (AF) and those with Left Bundle Branch Block (LBBB). These results ascertain the effectiveness of application of chaotic distribution to ECG data in improving the heart disease diagnosis. Manuscript profile

This study was conducted for evaluation different reference evapotranspiration models in Islamabad-Gharb area. for this purpose, the monthly data of Islamabad-Gharb synoptic Meteorology stations during a period of 30-year (1394-1364)were used. After restruction of the missed data and verification of the reference stations, values of the evapotranspiration were calculated with 9 valied formulas using REF-ET software. In order to determine the best method, the output values of the models were compared with evaporation pan data, using some statistical criterio. According to the results, the highest correlation coeficient (r=0.99) was obtained between the output data of the Blaney- Cradle model and evaporation pan. Also the minimum root mean square error (RMSE) values of 22.2 (mm/day) and 24.42 (mm/day) were belogend to the models of torque and Blaney- Cradle, respectively. Furthermore the highest efficiency (EF) value(0.93) was obtained for the both models of Blaney- Cradle and torque. Hence by considering the resulted minimum mean percentage error (MAPE) value (0.01) for Blaney-Cradle, this model was proposed as the most suitable model for application in the studied area.

        Today, housing not only serves as shelter for human settlements, but also as a place where most of the social, economic, and cultural needs of the population are formed and provided in residential units. But access to affordable housing is one of the most important issues in today's societies due to the rapid growth of the population and the increase in household expenses, So that With the growing of large cities, informal settlements and inappropriate housing in most urban areas have created an irrefutable perspective. Therefore, the aim of this study is to study the quantitative and qualitative indices of housing in the level of statistical blocks. The research is applied and the required information from the general census of population and housing in the range of statistical blocks (7096 blocks) for 2011 was prepared and 17 indicators were selected and evaluated by a factor analysis technique that resulted in 4 effective factors. The results of data analysis were transferred to Arc GIS10.3 software and to investigate the status of statistical blocks in terms of availability of housing indices, hot spots analysis was applied and spatial correlation technique was used to identify the distribution pattern of indicators. The results of combined factor analyze show that 31% of the blocks are very poor, 30% average, 28% are in very good condition. Based on Moran’s correlation analysis, oroumieh urban housing indices distribution pattern is a randomized cluster. Manuscript profile

        Pollution of the air is amongst the most vital and complex issues in industrial civilization which has a menacing influence on the environment. Furthermore, climatic over-measurement has increased the spread of these pollutants in the atmosphere, which will consequently augment their influence on human beings and their natural ecological systems. The aim of the present study is analyzing the relationship between climatic elements and air pollution with the deaths caused by heart diseases in Tehran from 2006 to 2010. In this regard, the relationship between climatic variables and pollutant variables with death caused by heart diseases was scrutinized using mixed methods of Pearson product-moment correlation and multiple regression .The findings demonstrate that there exists a negative correlation between climatic elements of the temperature with a correlation coefficient of. /47. The pressure with a coefficient correlation of ./42 has a direct influence on the rate of the deaths from heart diseases with the meaningful significance of ./99. All the elements show a significantly meaningful correlation with the deaths from heart conditions ; notwithstanding, the most meaningful correlation was observed in carbon monoxide which was. /41 with a meaningful significance of. /99. When all the chemical elements in the air are present en masse, a unit of change in temperature based upon the Celsius degree will have a decrease of 17/12 in death caused by heart conditions. A unit of one percent change in humidity leads to a decrease of 7/9 percent in deaths. The change of one unit of PPM in carbon monoxide causes an increase of 26/2 and one unit of change in suspended particles based upon micro gram or cubic meter causes an increase of 1/4  in the rate of the deaths caused by heart diseases in the city of Tehran.

        As the urban development has overtaken the capacity and potentials of the governments and municipalities in extending the infrastructures and providing employment, informal settlements are quickly and irregularly increasing. Studies performed on the informal settlements in Sanandaj (Kurdistan province) suggest that the majority of immigrations to the suburban areas of Sanandaj are from rural areas and are resulted from economical and security concerns (during the imposed war of Iraq against Iran and insecurities within the province). Studies on comprehensive and detailed plans of Sanandaj show that no better position has been considered for the low-income urban classes. In other words, they are missed in the studies. Also the demands of these classes for housing and the way these demands are supposed to be fulfilled have not been studied in the urban development plans. Therefore, one of the reasons that drive these low-income classes to the suburban areas of the cities and their settlement outside the area is attributed to the lack of attention to the demand for housing of these classes in developing formal plans. In addition to determining the most important structural problems in the informal settlements of Sanandaj, using correlation matrix, the rate of correlation between indices has been studied in this paper and the results suggest that the first important problem in suburban areas of Sanandaj is the usage of high amounts of low quality and inordinate materials in the construction of the buildings. The second important problem is low average area of residential parcels. Finally in this paper, the informal housing area of Sanandaj is assessed, using SWOT technique. Manuscript profile

        In order to study effect of seedling age and plant density on yield and yield components of rice (Sadri cultivar), a field experiment was conducted at the Ordukhan Agricultural Research Center, Heart Province - Afghanistan (Geographical longitude: 62°11'29" east and geographical latitude: 34°20'35" north) during the cropping season 2017-2018. The experiment was laid out in complete block design with three replications. Seeding ages with three levels (20, 30 and 40 days) were considered as main plots and plant densities with four levels (13, 17, 22 and 33 plants/m2) were allocated as sub plots. Analysis of variance showed that the effect of seedling age on number of tillers per plant, numbers of grains per panicle and grain yield was significant. The plant density had significant effect on all traits (expect, 1000grains weight). Interaction of two factors had no significant effect on any of the traits. The means comparison showed that the highest of number grains per panicle and grain yield were obtained for 30 days seedling age. Also, the highest of number of tiller per plant, number of fertile tiller per plant, number of grains per panicle and percent of unfilled grain were obtained by 13 plants per m2. But the highest biological yield, harvest index (HI) and grain yield obtained by 33 plants per m2. Based on simple correlation coefficient of traits, grain yield had significant positive correlation with biological yield, number fertile tiller per plant and number grains per panicle.

        Salinity is one of the growth limiting factors in agricultural. In order to determination of the most effective traits on soybean yield at different levels of salinity stress, a factorial experiment with 3 replications was conducted in greenhouse of Sari Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources University in 2016. Treatments consisted of four soybean genotypes (Hill, Dayr, Ford and Williams), three levels of sulfur (control, 5 and 10 grams of sulfur powder) and three levels of salinity (control, 4 and 8 dS/m). Analysis of variance showed that simple effects of sulfur, genotype, salinity and interaction between sulfur and salinity were significant at 0.01 probability level. Correlation coefficients between studied traits showed that there was a positive and significant correlation between grain yield and all traits except for the Na+/K+ ratio. By using stepwise regression analysis in the control treatment, sulfur content, in 4 ds/m salinity, traits of Na+ percentage, fresh weight of shoot and seed protein percentage, and in salinity of 8 ds/m seed number per plant were entered in model. path analysis of grain yield showed the highest positive direct effect in the control, second level and the third level of salinity were sulfur content, Na+ and number of seeds per plant, respectively. The results of this study showed that the traits of sulfur content, Na+ percentage, fresh weight and protein percentage are the scales related to grain yield, which can be used as an indirect selection scale for genetic improvement of yield in saline regeneration programs.   Manuscript profile

        Planting date plays a significant role in determining soybean growth, development and seed yield. The objectives of this experiment were to evaluate the effect of planting dates and genotypes on yield and yield components in north of Iran. In order to determine the best sowing date in two soybean cultivars, an experiment was done in Ramhormoz Agricultural Research Farm in split plots on the basis of randomized complete blocks design with three repetitions in 2017. Treatments includes three planting dates 1 August, 16 August, 1 September were placed in the main plots and two soybean varieties including 504 and Saland in subplots. Results showed that planting date had significant effect on plant height, number of pod per plant, number of seed per pod, number of seed per plant, number of plant per square meter, harvest index and seed protein percent. The effect of cultivar was significant on plant height, number of seed per pod, number of plant per square meter, total dry weight, biological yield and grain yield. Seed protein percentage was affected by planting date and in the third planting date its reduction was significant. Thousand-grain weight had significant positive correlation with grain protein percentage at 1% probability level, which indicates that with increasing grain weight, more protein is stored in the grain. In general, it is possible to recommend Saland cultivar for sowing date in 16 August and 504 for sowing date in 1 August and 1 September. Manuscript profile

        Basil is a medicinal plant as well as a vegetable, and its economic importance is due to its use in health and pharmaceutical industries. Also, moisture stress (water scarcity) is one of the environmental factors leading to a decrease in the yield of any plant. In this study, the effect of moisture stress on the morphological and physiological traits of basil medicinal plant was evaluated as a split plot experiment based on a completely randomized design with three replications in the greenhouse. The results of variance analysis showed a significant difference at the probability level of 1% for the moisture stress effect as well as the genotype effect. The moisture stress × genotype interaction effect was significant for all traits, which means that the genotypes have shown different reactions under moisture stress. The moisture stress caused a significant decrease in most traits while it increased leaf proline. The highest accumulation of proline with an average of 0.0041 mg per gram of fresh weight was related to the Red Rubins basil variety under no-stress conditions and then the Iranian green basil variety with an average of 0.0029 mg per gram of fresh weight under medium moisture stress conditions. The maximum amount of growth characteristics (leaf length, number of leaves, leaf yield and shoot weight) was related to Iranian purple basil cultivar under without moisture stress conditions. Also, the genotype of Iranian green basil can be further investigated in future breeding programs due to its greater tolerance to moisture stress conditions. Manuscript profile

        Basil is one of the important plants belonging to the mint family, which is used as a medicinal plant, spice, and also as a fresh vegetable. In order to study the relationship between leaf yield and agricultural traits, 22 basil genotypes were evaluated on the basis of split plot design based on randomized complete block design with three replications in pots under field conditions. The main plot included drought stress in three levels (normal, moderate and severe stress) and the subplot included genotype (22 levels) and agricultural traits were measured. Correlation of traits in all three conditions showed that leaf yield had a positive and significant correlation with the traits of stem fresh weight, number of leaves, length and width of leaves. Considering the leaf yield as a dependent variable and performing a stepwise regression analysis in normal conditions (stem wet weight, number of leaves and leaf width in the first stage, respectively), moderate drought stress conditions (stem dry weight in the first stage) ) and severe drought stress conditions (stem wet weight in the first stage) were entered into the model and the model was significant at the level of 1%. Path analysis showed that stem wet weight in normal conditions, stem dry weight in moderate stress condition and stem wet weight in severe stress condition had the highest direct and positive effect on leaf yield. Therefore, the most important traits as a selection index for improving leaf yield werestem fresh weight, leaf number, leaf length and width, respectively. Manuscript profile

In this regard, the statistical information of the cryptocurrency market index and the data of the Nasdaq, New York, Toronto, London, Frankfort, Madrid, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Mumbai stock market indices were used. In this research, the data related to the cryptocurrency market and financial markets from July 2012 to July 2022 have been used. In the first part of this study, using the information of the period 2012-2022, based on the frequency of monthly data for the financial markets, the comprehensive risk criterion has been calculated using the method of value at risk, conditional interval and expected loss. In the second part, using multivariate conditional heteroscedastic variance autocorrelation method (MGARCH), the external effects related to pervasive risk related to cryptocurrency were estimated on financial markets. The obtained results indicate that there are spillover effects between financial markets and an increase in pervasive risk in each of the financial markets leads to an increase in pervasive risk in other financial markets.

        In Mazandarn province, regional unemployment rates appear to vary widely. In the year 2006, in this province, unemployment rates were 10.85 percent. This disparity is widely in county level. For example, unemployment rate at Joybar and Savadkoh counties were 6.5 and 20.6 percent respectively. Because of regional differences in unemployment rate, geographical analyze is important. In this research, by using spatial econometrics models which is applied in spatial autocorrelation and Iranian census data in the year 2006, we analyze the geographical distribution of unemployment in the 16 counties of Mazandaran province. On the basis of findings, there was positive spatial autocorrelation phenomena in Mazandaran labor market at the county level. Counties marked by high unemployment rate, as well as those characterized by low unemployment rate, tended to be spatially clustered, demonstrating the presence of ‘spatial autocorrelation’. Also, we consider the spillover effect of county's shock on the others. Manuscript profile

        Finding an epistemological basis divine for innate knowledge of God is an important issue which various theories have been proposed on. The most important theories about the nature and epistemological basis of this divine innate knowledge are: A: Innate knowledge means the clarity of the theoretical argument for the existence of God.  B: There is a correlation between the desire for God and the objective existence of God. C: The concept of God is one of the innate concepts. D primordial natural knowledge is a logical self-evident proposition. E: Innate knowledge is an obvious affirmation that arises from the quality of human creation; F: Innate knowledge means knowledge in presence of God. In this article, these theories are examined and finally it is proved that only on the basis of knowledge in presence an epistemological basis for innate theology can be found and the rest of the theories and foundations have their own drawbacks. The base of the innate knowledge is that just as man finds his own existence, attributes, and subjective states, so he intuitively will be able to find the existence of God. However, this epistemological basis can also be accepted only if we say that the knowledge of God in presence does not require the unity of the knower (man) and the known (God).  Manuscript profile

        AbstractTransparency of financial information has always been one of the most important concerns of investors and depositors of the banking system. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the significant relationship between value at risk using book data and market data as a measure of information transparency. For this purpose, at first, the value at risk was calculated using the EGARCH model and then, to examine the significance of the relationship and ranking of banks in terms of information transparency, Pearson correlation coefficient between value at risk (VaR)  calculated from market data and book data has been used. The results showed that in the simultaneous data dimension, there is a weak relationship between book and market VaR  and only the correlation coefficient between book and market VaR of Pasargad and Sina banks are statistically significant at 95% confidence level. If we consider the issue of the speed of book value information spreading in the market with a time lag, the values of the correlation coefficient of book and market VaRs for Parsian, Pasargad and Eghtesad-e-novin banks are significant at 99% confidence level and this coefficient is significant for Sina and Saman banks at 95% confidence level.

        Abstract:In this study, we examined Dynamic Conditional Correlation (DCC) between important monetary and financial markets of Iran using multivariate DCC-FIAPARCH model and daily market returns during eleven years, (from 2007(1386) to 2018(1396)), and The existence of hidden characteristics in financial data, i.e. the ability to record long-term memory in data, power or conversion power (unconditional variance to conditional variance due to the addition of observation to the time series) and asymmetry of market reaction to good and bad news have been studied. The results show that OPEC oil market fluctuations haven't effect on the domestic markets of Iran, very high and importance dynamic conditional correlation between the coin market (gold) and exchange rate, the existence of leverage, power and long-term memory with strong ARCH/GARCH characteristics. We also found that market data have clustering characteristics and the assumption of t-student distribution is more appropriate than normal distribution for market return distributions.

        The purpose of this paper was to assess the overall risk in various financial sectors, including banking, insurance and investment companies. Pervasive risk in general indicates the possibility of collapse of the entire financial system in a crisis. While in most cases, investors in different markets worry about losing the value of a stock or commodity and measure the risks involved, the risk is pervasive, focused on the market as a whole and likely to fall. In this study, the method of measuring changes in value at risk based on the returns of financial institutions has been used. In this study, statistical information of banks, investment companies and commercial insurances during the years 1380-1399 has been used. The results show that all three sectors during this time period are significantly involved in hedging risk in Iran and investment companies have the largest share in hedging risk, followed by segments respectively. Banking and insurance are included. Manuscript profile

        Modeling synchronous time series in financial systems is very complex. In order to analyze such series, we require procedures that can determine long-term relations with high accuracy. Multifractal detrended cross correlation analysis (MFDCCA) is a technique to analyze long-term relations through detrending the time series. In this work we propose a novel technique for a more accurate detrending of a financial time series, called indicator-based multifractal detrended cross-correlation analysis (IMFDCCA).We aim at using financial market technical analysis indicators to better determine correlations between financial time series.We investigated our method on currency pairs EUR/USD and USD/JPY and their long-term and short-term relations of these series were determined as multifractal.In order to evaluate the effectiveness of IMFDCCA, we used R.S and GHE techniques for the Hurst exponent estimation. The evaluation results on a collection of 8 years data (2011-2019) show that the proposed method compared to the baseline (MFDCCA) reduces the RMSE by 30% and 26% using R.S and GHE respectively.

        We applied Random Matrix Theory making a portfolio enables to beat the market. On the basis of previous findings, the largest eigenvalue represents the influence of the entire market that is common to all stocks. We analyzed cross-correlation between returns of different stock market indices (S&p500, DJ USA, DAX Germany, FTSE100 England, HSI Hong Kong for efficient markets and TSE Iran, SSE180 China and MXX Mexico for emerging markets) for 730 trading days from May 2012 to October 2014 by using Random Matrix Theory (RMT). Looking at the largest eigenvalue and components (stocks) of the largest eigenvector (demonstrating market mode or trend) and calculating share of every stock in market trend, we could categorize stocks in terms of their impact on the trend in 3 groups: high, middle and low or no impact on market trend. Then we created 3 portfolio in this respect for Tehran stock market. The results shows the portfolio consisting of high impact stocks can beat the market return. Manuscript profile

        The Banking Crisis is previous decades caused the discussion of Systemic Risk in the financial market, including the Banks, has been taken into Consideration by Policy- makers. Based on this in this research using Delta Conditional Value at Risk (CoVaR), the Systemic risk in Iran Banking Section has been evaluated. For this reason, seventeen banks out of all ones which have been listed in Tehran Stock Exchange and the equity of their Owners from 1389 to 1395 was available, have been chosen. The results Show that CoVaR for Khavarmianeh Bank Was the most (15.61) and for Sarmayeh Bank was the least (0.32). These results indicate that the crisis or disturbance in Khavarmianeh Bank more than the other Banks, affects the Financial System and Sarmayeh Bank has the least effect. In other words, any crisis in khavarmianeh Bank will give a rise of about 15.61 Percent to the Financial System risk, while the corresponded value for the Sarmayeh Bank is only 0.32 percent.

        Today in the financial markets there are different factors that can help investors to allocate their assets satisfactorily. The main concern for asset allocation is that if any return and volatility from a stock market spillovers into, return and volatility of another market. Spillover expresses shock transfer to other markets or countries regardless of the basic links exist between them. This paper investigates the existence of spillover effect in Tehran Stock Exchange. Specifically, we study the return and volatility spillover effects between 6 indices from August 2011 to March 2016 and Dynamic conditional Correlation model (DCC) has been employed in our study. Base on the results of this research, we reveal that the return and volatility of selected industries are impacting on each other. Some results suggest that Pharma - Industry has the highest impact and Oil, /coke and nuclear fuel Industry has the lowest impact on other selected industries Manuscript profile

        In this paper, I present an approach for valuing credit default swap (CDS), tranches of synthetic collateralized debt obligations and kth to default swaps. One-factor gaussian copula model is utilized to model default correlation for each pair of companies. In this research, I analyze the effect of different hazard rates and different default correlation between each pair of names on the spread to buy protection for multi-name credit products. The findings in the valuation of a tranche of a CDO show that if the correlation is low, the junior equity tranche is very risky and the senior tranches are very safe. As the default correlation increases, the junior tranches become less risky and the senior tranches become more risky. The valuation of kth to default swaps also shows that as the hazard rate increases, the spread of all swaps increases. Also, increasing the correlations between all firms while holding the hazard rate constant lowers the cost of protection in kth to default CDS if k is small and increases it if k is large.

        AbstractOne purpose of accrual accounting is to mitigate the timing and matching problems inherent in cash flows. Cash flows have timing and matching properties that impair their ability to measure performance. Net cash receipts and payments can occur in periods that differ from the economic event (the timing or spreading problem), and cash inflows and outflows from a given economic event might occur in different periods (the matching problem). The economic role of accruals is to mitigate these timing and matching issues. These problems cause temporary fluctuations in cash flows. Accruals smooth temporary timing fluctuations in operating cash flows and thus it is expected to find a negative correlation between accruals and changes in cash flows. It is also expected that the negative correlation between accruals and cash-flow changes grows as cash flow problems intensify because accruals will increasingly counteract cash flow changes as a firm’s cash flows increasingly stray from desired properties. According to Dechow et al. (1998), the negative serial correlation in cash flow changes shows the cash flow timing and matching problem. The timing and matching problems of cash flows counteract each other. The timing problem leads to a positive serial correlation in cash flow changes. While the matching problem leads to a negative serial correlation in cash flow changes. According to Dechow et al. (1998) model,  the serial correlation in cash flow changes is a function of operating cash cycle and profit margin and the magnitude of negative serial correlation in cash flow changes depends on the relative magnitude of the operating cash cycle and the profit margin.  The longer the operating cash cycle and the smaller the profit margin, the negative serial correlation in cash flow changes is more severe. So it is expected that the negative correlation between accruals and cash-flow changes grow as the negative serial correlation in cash flow changes is severe (longer operating cash cycle and smaller profit margin). This study investigates the extent to which accruals are reconciled whit their ultimate purpose in mitigating timing and matching problems inherent in cash flows. A sample of 153 firms listed in the Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE),,is analyzed using panel data regression models. we observed that there is a negative correlation between accruals and cash-flow changes and this negative correlation increases as the timing and matching problems of cash flows become more severe. The results of this study show that accruals are used to mitigate timing and matching problems of cash flow and firms listed in the Tehran Stock Exchange use accruals more when there are more problems with cash flows.

        In order to study of relationships between various agronomic traits and their influences on barley grain yield, two separate experiments were carried out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Treatments were genotypes including Gorgan4, Nosrat, Reyhan, Makoii, Valfajr, Zarjou, Gorgan, Kavir, Esterain and Nimruz. The experiments were under drought stress and non-stress: stopping the irrigation at blooming stage till complete maturity stage conditions. The correlation coefficients were significantly positive between grain yield and days from emergence to physiological maturity, plant height, culm thickness, biological yield, kernel length and spike weight under non-stress condition. Days from emergence to physiological maturity, plant height, biological yield, kernel length, kernel thickness, spike weight and 100-grain weight significantly positively correlated with grain yield under stress condition. Using stepwise regression, spike weight, 100-grain weight and days from emergence to physiological maturity, spike weight, kernel length, spike length, kernel thickness and biological yield as independent variables, model determination coefficients were R2=0.83 and R2=0.91 under non-stress and stress conditions, respectively. path coefficients analysis showed that direct and indirect effects of spike weight on grain yield were the highest and positive under non-stress and stress conditions, indicating that direct selection to improve grain yield with this trait would be effective.

        In current research, the forage yield and quality of 49 accessions of alfalfa (Medicago sativa) were examined using simple lattice design with 2 replications under dryland farming system during 2005-2007 in the Agriculture Research Station of Khosroshahr -Eastern Azerbaijan. The traits: forage dry matter yield, plant height, growth vigour, flowering date, leaf to stem ratio and quality traits consisted of dry matter digestibility, crude protein, water soluble carbohydrates, crude fiber, acid detergent fiber, neutral detergent fiber and total ash were evaluated during 2 years (2006-2007) . The results of combined analysis showed significant differences among accessions and among years. Total means of forage dry matter yield were 5.43 , 4.45 t/ha in years 2 and 3, respectively. The results of correlation analysis among traits indicated that selection for higher forage dry matter yield was produced with earlier flowering, tall plant height and major growth vigour. Considering to negative relationship of forage dry matter yield and quality, from between genotypes with high yield, mostly were selected high the amount of leaf to stem ratio, crude protein, dry matter digestibility, water soluble carbohydrates, and total ash and down amount of crude fiber, acid detergent fiber and neutral detergent fiber. For this purpose the genotypes of Khoramabad, Ghara yonja, Flavarjan, Ghazaghestan and Kordestan with average values of 6.5 – 8.5 t/ha forage dry matter yield were tendered for produced synthetic variety.

        In order to investigate the path analysis of effective traits on durum wheat yield, an experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with 18 genotypes and four replications in Agricultural and Natural Resources Research Center of Lorestan province during 2014–2015. In Factor analysis, the first factor was named as influencing factor on flag leaf characteristics, the second factor was named as influencing factor on height, and the third factor was named as influencing factors on yield performance. According to results of genetic correlations, biomass yield, straw yield, kernel per spike and spike length had very strong positive correlation with grain yield. According to results of stepwise regression and path analysis, straw yield, kernel per spike and peduncle length entered to the regression model, and so the straw yield had highest and largest direct effect on grain yield. As kernel per spike and straw yield were more important, these traits could be advisable in breeding programs of durum wheat. In present research, bi-plot analysis was used to simultaneous study of traits and discrimination of genotypes related to these traits, and hence, genotypes of Dehdasht, Seimareh, Pod-20 and Alas were introduced as hopefull genotypes for future breeding programs.

        To investigate the relationship between agronomic characteristics with 18 spring wheat genotypes, an experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design indry land condition of Agriculture and Natural Resources Research Station in Khorramabad during 2011-2012. Fourteen traits including seed yield and their components and morphological characteristics were evaluated. Correlation analysis showed that biomass has the highest positive and significant correlation coefficient (r= 0.79**) with yield. And then straw yield, harvest index and spike r = 0.56*, r = 0.50* and r = 0.49* respectively. Based on stepwise regression spike, harvest index, weight and height of the main spike yield components and grain yield were greater share of justification. Path analysis showed that the number of spike per square meter, harvest index, spike weight and height were important factors in increasing yield. The highest positive direct effects on grain yield were also related to the number of spikes and spike weight. Factor analysis showed that four factors (yield, biological yield, straw yield and seed weight) and independent of the total 72% of total variance explained data. The first factor is the factor with the greatest variance function against three traits of effective biological yield, straw yield and grain weight on grain yield confirmed. Manuscript profile

        In many regions, drought stress occurs at the terminal stages of wheat growth. Identifying the physiological responses of plant can help in produce tolerant varieties. In a two years study in Isfahan, effect of three treatments included normal irrigation, drought stress after anthesis, and drought stress after anthesis with two times zinc foliar application at vegetative growth on 11 wheat genotypes were studied as RCBD with split- plot arrangement and three replications. RWC, RWL, ELWR and IWC were measured on flag leaf at 3 stages including anthesis and one and two weeks after anthesis. Proline, soluble proteins and grain yield also were measured. Comparing normal condition, in drought treatment, RWC, RWL and IWC decreased and ELWR increased at both one and two weeks after anthesis. Drought stress also decreased soluble protein and grain yield and increased proline. Zinc foliar application mitigated negative impacts of drought stress, so that grain yield, RWC (at one and two weeks after anthesis), and IWC (at two week after anthesis) were higher in drought + zinc than drought without zinc. There were significant differences among genotypes for all traits. Under drought stress, there were positive significant correlations between grain yield with soluble proteins, RWC (at one and two weeks after anthesis) and ELWR (at anthesis), indicating the capability of these traits as selection criteria for improvement of terminal drought tolerant wheat varieties.

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.

        Drought stress is the most limiting factor for producing wheat grain yield, especially in southern Iran. In order to recognize the most influential appropriate agronomic traits on grain yield of promising wheat genotypes (16 line) under normal irrigation and drought stress conditions, this study was conducted at Darab, Fars province in 2012-2013 and 2013-2014. Drought stress was started after anthesis and continued to physiological maturity. Days to physiological maturity was counted during growing seasons. At the end of growing seasons, 1000-kernal weight, grain no. per spike, spikelet no. per spike, floret no. per spikelet, tiller no. per unit area, crop height, grain yield, above ground biological yield (BY) and harvest index (HI) were measured. Four statistical methods including simple correlation, multiple linear regression, stepwise regression and path analysis were used for determined the relationship between the above mentioned traits and grain yield under the two irrigation treatments. Results showed that BY and HI for normal irrigation and for drought condition days to physiological maturity, BY and HI were the most important influential traits on yield. Based on the most statistical analysis, the BY role on grain yield was lower at drought condition than normal irrigation. Also, improving grain yield was attributed to HI under drought condition.

During the growth stages and after harvesting, traits like plant height, number of days to heading, numbers of spikes per square meter, number of grains per spike, number of days to maturity, seed weight and seed yield were recorded. according to the analysis of variance, between genotypes in terms of number of days to heading, days to maturity, numbers of spikes per square meter, number of grains per spike and grain yield, differences were significant. According to the comparison of the averages, genotypes 17 and 12 with 2522 and 2364 kg.ha-1 had the highest grain yield respectively and genotype 20 with 1190 kg.ha-1grain yield was the lowest. Based on the path analysis results, the number of spike per square meter (69.8%), the number of grains per spike (64.9 %) and grain weight (38.9 %) had the highest direct effect on grain yield. The correlation coefficients showed that seed weight and number of grains per spike and number of spikes per square meter had a significant negative correlation and the number of grains per spike and number of spikes per square meter were significant positive correlation with yield.

        Understanding the relationship between white sugar yield and other traits in sugar beet may be a crucial step towards successful breeding of this important crop. Path analysis provides a useful method in analzing coefficients of correlations and this method is able to effectively unveil direct and indirect effects among traits of interest. This study was conducted to characterize white sugar yield and its related plant traits. Correlation and path analysis were carried out in sugar beet genotypes grown under irrigated regimes. Therefore, an experiment was conducted in 2002 using a split-plot design in randomized complete block with three replications at the Research Farm of Agricultural Research Center in Zarghan, Fars, Iran. The main plots consisted of three irrigated regimes: non stress, mild stress (75% irrigated) and severe stress (50% irrigated), and the ten genotypes as the sub plots. Data were analyzed using mini-tab, SAS and Excel soft ware. The analysis of variance revealed highly significant differences among the genotypes for all characters studied in this experiment. Results indicated that in both mild and non stress conditions, sodium, sugar content, purity and canopy temperature and thereby osmotic and turger potential had high correlations with white sugar yield, while in severe stress condition, none of these traits was correlated with white sugar yield. In none stress condition, sodium, sugar content, purity and canopy temperature showed a considerable direct effect on white sugar yield. In mild stress condition, in addition to these traits, osmotic and turger potential showed to have high direct effects. In severe stress condition, except for α-amino-N and canopy temperature traits, other traits had considerable direct effects. Manuscript profile

For the analysis time series data and vector error correlation method were used. The results showed that in the pattern 1 the positive monetary shocks in the short run increased the product and decreased the prices but, in the long run it decreased the product and increased the prices. The debt shocks of the banks to the central bank in the short run had little effect on the product and the prices. In the intermediate run these shocks had decreased the product and increased the prices. And in the long run it increased the product and decreased the prices. In pattern 2 positive shock of the legal deposits ratio leads to decrease in the production and increase in the inflation in the short, intermediate and the long run, through the banking lending. Results shoed also that money policy instruments (banks loan to the central bank and the rate of legal deposits) had a little effect on the granted facilities of the banks. Manuscript profile

               In order to evaluation and determination of the most effective traits in improvement grain yield of bread wheat genotypes, an experiment conducted using 320 genotypes in the research field of agriculture institute of Shahrekord in 2006. Genotypes were cultivated in augmented design along with Karaj1 and Sardari as the check cultivars in both stress and non-stress conditions. Grain yield and 10 related feature of traits were measured in this research. Correlation coefficient analysis showed that in both condition all traits except awn length and in non-stress condition spike weight had positive and significant correlation with grain yield in 1% probability level. By using step-wise regression analysis in stress condition five traits and in non-stress condition three traits entered to the model that verified 97.8% and 96.5% of grain yield variation, respectively. Path analysis for grain yield indicated that in stress condition biological yield, harvest index and grain number per spike and in non-stress condition biological yield and harvest index had the most positive and direct effect on plant kernel yield. Grain number per spike in stress as direct and in non-stress condition as indirect affect positively and significantly on increase grain yield. Therefore, results of research indicate that use of these traits suggest as indirect selection criteria in order to improve grain yield of bread wheat genotypes in both stress and non-stress conditions.

        In order to study genetic variation and heritability in fifteen cultivars of red clover in climate conditions of Broujerd an experiment in based on randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications under irrigated conditions in Agriculture Researches Center and National Resources of Broujerd in 2013-2014 cropping year was carried out. The measured traits were including of dry and wet forage yield in three cuts, plant height, digestibility percentage, crude protein percentage (%CP),Water soluble carbohydrates (%WSC), insoluble fiber in acid percentage, crude fiber percentage (%CF) and ash percentage (%AH) in two cuts and ratio leaf to stem and regrowth rate in one cut. The qualitative traits were measured by near infrared reflectance (NIR) technology. The results of analysis of variance were indicated that differences between cuts for all traits and genotype effect and interaction genotype × cut for all traits except plant height and ash percentage were significant. Compare means, Duncan method were showed Chamran, Renova, Shahrecord and Reszti cultivars with range between 52 to 56 t.ha-1 wet forage and range of 17.3 to 18.3 t.ha-1 dry forage in general three cuts had the highest forage yield. In among them Renova and Shahrechord cultivars had the highest plant height and ratio leaf to stem, but Charmahal had high mean for qualitative traits including digestibility and total ash and low mean for ADF and %CP. low In other words, it had higher forage yield and quality. In comparison between means of cuts, the highest and lowest forage yield related to 1 and 3 cuts, respectively. Simple coefficients of correlation among forage yield with plant height and digestibility was positive and with ratio leaf to stem and soluble carbohydrates in water was negative and significant. Coefficients of correlation between digestibility and protein percentage were positive and significant and these traits had negative and significant correlation with soluble carbohydrates in water, percentage crude fiber and ADF. Results of principal components analysis (PCA) for 15 genotypes in 11 traits showed three first principal components explained 72% from total variation. In the first component, wet forage yield, digestibility percentage, crude protein percentage and soluble carbohydrate in water explained the highest variation. In the second component, plant height, insoluble fiber in acid, crude fiber percentage, total ash percentage had the highest vector coefficients. In the third component, dry forage yield with ratio leaf to stem had negative correlation. In cluster analysis base on the ward's method 15 genotypes of red clover for 11 traits placed in three clusters. Shahrod and Renova Cultivars placed in cluster number 3, and had high forage yield and medium digestibility percentage, crude protein percentage and soluble carbohydrates in water. In contrast, cultivars placed in cluster number 2, had medium yield but better quality. Cultivars placed in cluster number 1 had lower values for quantitative and qualitative traits.

        In order to investigate relationship between yield and its components in bread wheat, tested during 2011-2012 were conducted in Agricultural Research Station of Gonbadin randomized complete block design with three replications whit 10 bread wheat genotype (Morvarid, N-87-4, N-87-9, N-86-6, N-86-8, N-80-19, N-86-5, N-85-5, Kohdasht, Line 17). In this experiment, were measured 7 morphological traits. Analysis of variance genotypes for all traits was significant at 1% probability level. N-85-5 and Line 17 genotypes produced the highest and the lowest grain yield, respectively. Among all tested traits, the number of fertile spike had the highest correlation (0.999 **) with grain yield. Using stepwise regression, the number of fertile spikes entered the model as an effective attribute, justifying 99.8 percent of the data variation. In order to find the causal relationships, the path analysis was performed for grain yield The direct effect on the grain yield was related to the number of fertile spike traits. The results of cluster analysis by ward method showed that the studied cultivars were classified in two groups and the second group in terms of grain yield was the most (397.66). According to the results, can be said that N-85-5 genotype had the highest grain yield and trait number of fertile spike was identified as an effective trait for increasing grain yield.

        The usefulness of any corrective program is determined by the relationship between the grain yield and the factors affecting it. For this purpose, 25 winter wheat cultivars were planted and evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications in a field experiment at the Faculty of Agriculture, Karaj Azad University, Karaj, Iran under two irrigation conditions (normal irrigation and irrigation after the spike stage). 17 traits were measured and evaluated. Simple correlation coefficients of traits indicated a positive and significant correlation between grain yield and days to flowering, biological yield and harvest index in normal conditions, and traits related to rooting, biological yield, harvest index and peduncle outflow length in drought stress conditions. The results of stepwise regression confirmed the relation between grain yield and biological yield., path analysis was performed for the traits introduced in the stepwise regression model and in both normal and stress conditions the most direct effect on grain yield had belonged to biological yield.

        This research was carried out at research farm of agricultural and natural resource station of Zabol, in 2014-2015. Cropping cycle, under alpha lattice design with two replications under two normal conditions and foliar manganese. Foliar Manganese at a concentration of 1 kg/ha was carried out in three stages of planting, stemming and flowering on 148 spring barley cultivars. The results showed that in different growth stages, foliar manganese increased the height, fresh and dry weight of forage, number of tillers per plant, leaf to stem ratio and reduction of seed to forage ratio, compared to normal treatment. Manganese solution increased Crude Protein, Crude Fiber, Acid detergent fiber, Natural detergent fiber and acid detergent lignin traits, as well as reduced qualitative characteristics of dry mater digestibility, Water soluble carbohydrate and ash compared with normal treatment. Simple correlation coefficients between traits showed that there is an inverse relationship between quantity and forage quality. As a result, the factors that increase the amount of forage reduce its quality and vice versa. In the following, using factor analysis, 14 variables were defined in five factors for normal conditions and four factors for manganese soluble conditions which justify 80.81% and 83.85% of the variation of the data, respectively. They made the results of this study indicated the total digestibility of dry mater digestibility, Water soluble carbohydrate, acid detergent fiber and natural detergent fiber from the oral parameters of forage, which can influence on forage quality and animal feed.

        In this study, 32 safflower genotypes in a randomized complete block design with three replications at the Research Farm of Islamic Azad University, Karaj Branch. Plant yield, 1000-seed weight, number of branches, number of bolls per plant, boll weight, flowering time, seedling time, plant height and flowering time were measured and recorded. Results and Discussion: The results of variance analysis confirmed the diversity of all studied traits among all genotypes studied. The simple correlation coefficients among the traits showed that the weight of the boll and the number of bolls per plant had a positive and significant correlation with plant yield with correlation coefficients of 0.85 and 0.61 respectively at 1% probability level. Based on the results of stepwise regression analysis, the weight of the boll weight and the number of bolls per plant were 75.60% of the variation in plant yield. The results of causal analysis indicated that the most direct and positive effects were related to the weight of the boll weight (1.104). The number of boll/bush had the most indirect effect (0.916) on plant yield through boll weights. Manuscript profile

        In order to evaluate of agronomical traits and fruit yield in 23 breeding hybrid cultivars of greenhouse cucumber, and determine the relationship between these traits, a randomized complete block design with three replications was performed in the research greenhouse of Islamic Azad University, Isfahan (Khorasgan) Branch in 2014-15. Data was collected for these traits: total fruit yield, total fruit number, number and fruit yield on three periods, plant height, length and width of leaf, length and diameter of fruit, days to flowering and fruiting and the first flower node. Coefficient of correlations showed that total number of fruit and fruit diameter had significant and positive correlation with fruit yield. Path analysis revealed that fruit number had the highest direct and positive effect on fruit yield. Therefore this trait could be used as selection criterion for selecting genotypes with high fruit yield. Step wise regression showed that total fruit yield and fruit yield on mid fruit production period explained 96.30 percentage of fruit yield variation. On the other hand, total fruit yield and fruit number on final fruit production period explained the highest amount of total fruit number variation. Manuscript profile

        In order to study drought tolerance in barley, two separate experiments were conducted in the form of a randomized complete block design with three replications under normal humidity and rainfed conditions in the research farm of Islamic Azad University, Sanandaj branch in the 2013-2014 crop year. Traits: Grain yield per unit area, day to spike, day to flowering, day to physiological maturity, number of fertile tillers, plant height, peduncle length, spike length, awn length, number of Grains per main spike, plant weight and spike weight were evaluated.The results of analysis of variance under normal and stress conditions indicated a significant difference between cultivars in terms of most of the studied traits.In normal conditions, harvest index and peduncle length and in stress conditions, harvest index and 1000-grain weight showed a positive and significant correlation with grain yield. Stepwise regression analysis showed that under normal moisture conditions, plant weight and peduncle length, and in dryland conditions, plant weight, spike length, day to flowering and day to spike are the most influential traits on grain yield in barley, respectively. Drought tolerance indices of MP, GMP, STI and HM were identified as efficient indices in detecting drought tolerant genotypes with high grain yield potential due to positive and significant correlations with Yp and Ys in barley. Kavir and Zarjoo cultivars with high values of MP, GMP, STI, HM, Yp and Ys indices were recognized as the most drought tolerant cultivars. Manuscript profile

         In order to determine the susceptible and tolerant lines of sunflower to drought stress, acompletely randomized block design with three replications was conducted at Karaj seed OilResearch Institute. In this study, 12 different sunflower lines have been identified for thecharacteristics related to drought tolerance and were selected two susceptible and tolerantlines. Initially, sunflower lines were cultivated in two separate experiments under normalirrigation and drought stress conditions. Drought stress was carried out through stop irrigationin step 2 to 8 leaves formation. The studied traits included agronomic characteristics anddrought stress indices of sunflower, such as Plant height, Stem diameter, Head diameter, Seedyield, Leaf Area Index, Relative Water Content, SSI and STI. The studied traits weresignificantly different in water stress, except stem diameter. After analyzing the tested factorsand analyzing the data, the results were obtained by analyzing the percentage of variation ofstudied traits, calculating stress indices (drought tolerance indices, drought sensitivity) anddendrogram drawing from Cluster analysis of cultivars was identified. According to theresults, in terms of water deficit stress, RGK26 and RGK41 produced the highest and thelowest seed yield per plant. Comparison of traits can identify BGK221 as susceptible line andRGK46 as tolerant line among 12 studied lines. Also, correlation between traits showed thatdrought tolerance index (STI) was positively correlated with almost all traits. In addition,grain yield was positively correlated with all traits except plant height.  Manuscript profile

         Due to analyze the correlation and regression of agronomic traits (grain dimensions)with grain yield of two peanut cultivars under irrigation management conditions (waterrequirement) and plant mulch an experiment was done as factorial split plots based oncompletely randomized blocks design with 3 replications during 2019 in AstanehAshrafieh. The irrigation management in 3 three levels (no irrigation (rainfed), 50 and100% of plant water requirement) as main factor and mulch application in 3 levels (0, 2and 4 cm) and peanut cultivars in two levels (Guil and Gorgani) were considered as subfactor. The results showed that the interaction between irrigation and mulch had thehighest seed yield in 100% of water requirement and 4cm of mulch application (2775 kgha-1). The plant height at 100% of water requirement was 73.8cm which showed 13.7%and 7.7% increase than irrigation conditions and 50% of water requirement respectively.The highest plant height was obtained in 4 cm mulch treatment (75.5cm). In irrigationmanagement, the highest seed length was obtained in 100% water requirement (2.4cm)and 4 cm mulch (2.4cm). The highest seed width was observed in 100% water requirement(1.2 cm), 4 cm mulch application (1.2 cm) and Guil cultivar (1.2cm). Seed yield waspositively and significantly correlated (0.788**) with seed length. It can be concluded thatwith higher seed length, greater seed yield will be observed. Overall, water stressdecreased yield and mulch application reduced the negative effects of water stress on bothGuil and Gorgani cultivars. Guil cultivar showed higher resistance to waterdeficit stresscompared to Gorgani cultivar.  Manuscript profile
