        Background and Objective: Waste management is responsible for carrying out various processes to attract citizens' satisfaction. Proper placement of temporary storage tanks in the city is important. Therefore, the optimal location of municipal waste tanks is very important. In addition, not using waste storage tanks in suitable places can cause environmental damage and negative effects on the beauty of the city landscape. The purpose of this study is to locate municipal waste tanks using powerful tools of GIS. Analysis Method: Waste pollution and its dangers are inevitable for communities. Traditional methods such as manually overlay maps are not possible due to the large amount of data. So, in this research a powerful tool such as GIS has been used in locating municipal waste tanks. For this purpose, 58 blocks in 4 regions with a population of 12 thousand households in the city of Shahindezh in West Azerbaijan province have been studied. Findings: According to the map obtained from GPS, the location of the main tanks in the city of Shahindezh was investigated. With having information on population density, production waste per capita, observing the specified distances and using the geographic information system, the centers purposed for the waste location tanks in this study were determined. So that by weighting the layers and superimposing the layers of maps in GIS software, it resulted in providing 804 points for locating reservoirs in the city. Discussion and Conclusion: Looking at the findings and in order to prevent irregular traffic of garbage trucks, reduce fuel, reduce the environmental impact of waste accumulated in inappropriate places and maximize use of the appropriate perspective, using the results of this research, temporary waste storage tanks can be used in appropriate numbers in the right places and created a safe environment which to be environmentally friendly with high security factor.

        This paper presents a circularly polarized (CP) printed crossed-dipole antenna for Global Positioning System (GPS) receptions in the L1 (1575 MHz) band. Its structure consists of two orthogonally printed dipoles, two integrated baluns to feed the dipoles, and a feed network connected to the baluns. The feeding network comprises a Branch-Line Coupler with two quadrature outputs. Accordingly, providing two orthogonal dipoles with a 90-degree phase difference leads to right-handed circular polarization (RHCP), a must for GPS applications. Four Torang-shaped parasitic elements have been used in the upper part of the dipole arms to improve the circular polarization of the antenna. Based on the practical results obtained with the technique, the antenna's Axial Ratio (AR) bandwidth is increased by about 21%. At the same time, the purity of the circular polarization can also be seen. The experimental results show that the proposed GPS antenna has an impedance bandwidth of 46.28% (from 1.327 to 2.126 GHz), an axial ratio bandwidth of 41.36% (from 1.329 to 2.022 GHz), and a maximum gain of 6.40 dB. The dimensions of the proposed antenna are compact, and this antenna has a stable radiation pattern. In the last step, the proposed GPS antenna is fabricated and tested in the antenna laboratory.

        Digital Elevation Model is a continuous statistical representation of the earth by a large number of selected points with known coordinates of length, width and height. The use of three-dimensional models of the earth's surface has a wide range of applications in many areas of research and implementation. It is high and the areas are level. All the resulting points have a height above sea level. Most GIS spatial analyzes use elevation data such as DEM. Using it, you can prepare a slope map and slope direction and perform various analyzes in three dimensions. Most of the time, DEM is also used as the bottom view of the maps. Elevation is used to extract height and height data. Major users (DEM) in the fields of civil engineering, surveying and photogrammetry, earth sciences, water resources management, military applications, telecommunications, urban planning digital land models as one of their information layers to achieve management, executive goals or produce new products using location-based. In this study, using images of ASAR ENVI SAT sensors in C band in the study area, we prepared a digital elevation model and then compared. And for verification, we compared this prepared model with the existing topographic maps at the scale of 1.25000 as well as the fixed points of GPS stations and also with the digital model obtained from (SRTM) in terms of elevation. The results of radar image processing in C bands of ENVI SAT ASAR sensor and its comparison with the data of the surveying organization indicate that the data processed from C band gives more favorable results and close to the ground control points, but considering Due to the correlation between GCP points and DEM obtained from topography, production conditions using satellite images are not favorable for the region. GCP captured the height points of radar images are in better and more favorable conditions according to Table (4) which shows the standard difference and this indicates the superiority of radar images for DEM production. Digital model comparison ratio with topographic points, shows the accuracy of satellite images in flat areas. In mountainous areas, due to the inclination of the points and creation of incoherence points, it is not continuous shadow and the level curve lines are intermittent. Manuscript profile

        Taftan is a semi-active volcano located in southeast Iran with many craters. The main objective of this study is to investigate whether subsidence or uplift in Taftan Peak. 58 Sentinel 1-A images acquired from January 2015 to December 2020 in the ascending orbit mode, and 102 Sentinel 1-A Sentinel 1-B images acquired from October 2014 to June 2020 in the descending orbit mode were preprocessed for this purpose. The interferograms with the permanent scatterer interferometry (PSI) method were created using SARPROZ and StaMPS softwares, in which atmospheric corrections were made automatically,  and then the surface displacement of Taftan volcano estimated.The Line of Sight (LOS) displacement corresponding to the uplift was 0.5 mm to 1 mm yr-1 for the ascending orbit and 1 mm yr-1for the descending orbit. Because no GPS station was close to Taftan volcano, the GPS measurements of one station located in the study area (Saravan station) was used to check the accuracy of PSI method. The GPS station of SARAVAN has situated inside the town ,and it is appropriate to use and analyze PSI technique in this station. As a result, the researchers found that the PSI method is in accordance with the GPS data.  Manuscript profile

        GPS based vehicle navigation systems have difficulties in tracking vehicles in urban canyons due to poor satellite availability. ABS (Antilock Brake System) Navigation System consists of self-contained optical encoders mounted on vehicle wheels that can continuously provide accurate short-term positioning information. In this paper, a new concept regarding GPS/ABS integration, based on Fuzzy Logic is presented. The proposed algorithm is used to identify GPS position accuracy based on environment and vehicle dynamic knowledge. The GPS is used as reference during the time it is in a good condition and replaced by ABS positioning system when GPS information is unreliable. We compare our proposed algorithm with other common algorithm in real environment. Our results show that the proposed algorithm can significantly improve the stability and reliability of ABS/GPS navigation system. Manuscript profile

        A tractor-mounted, automated soil cone penetrometer was designed, constructed and tested for the purpose of measuring cone index throughout the entire soil profile. We propose the use of cone penetrometer profile to assist in mapping 3-dimensional spatial variability of soil strength. The apparatus consisted of a mechanical frame, an assemblage of control hardware and a laptop computer with the controlling software. A double-acting hydraulic jack with 80 cm stroke was mounted on the frame to push the cone into soil. A load cell and a digital caliper were used for measuring pushing force and depth, respectively. A DC motor was mounted on a power screw to activate a directional control valve and. The data acquisition module and an external global positioning system (GPS) were used to assist in real-time measuring, displaying, and recording the tractor position and soil penetration resistance.  Soil strength maps of five layers with 10 cm increment and mean soil moisture content were plotted. Results showed that in the first 10 cm layer, soil compaction was related to the soil moisture content but it was not occurred about other layers. Finally combining maps of soil strength made an effective soil profile in order to tillage with different depth. Manuscript profile
