        In the upcoming research, our effort is to study energy-harvesting telecommunication systems with one transmitter-one receiver for a Gaussian white noise telecommunication channel with fading. Harvested energies and channel fading are independent and identically distributed processes, and information about harvested energies and channel gain is causally provided to the transmitter. The transmitter is equipped with a rechargeable battery with limited storage capacity.Our goal is to obtain an online power control scheme that maximizes the average data transmission rate over a telecommunication interval of unlimited length. A low-complexity algorithm based on online convex optimization is proposed to guarantee the energy availability of the energy harvesting node and to maximize the long-term average data transmission rate. The proposed algorithm limits the maximum transmission power by knowing the state of charge and allocates the transmission power based on historical information. Simulations have been performed to show the effectiveness of the algorithm by considering input energy with different distributions, as well as channel coefficientswith different distributions. The proposed algorithm performs better than its peers in different energy harvesting rates. Manuscript profile

Delays and parameters are considered and different for two neutral chaotic systems equal to the master and the slave. The neutral chaotic system is introduced using a positive Lyapunov exponent and finite Attractor. in the proposed adaptive control mechanism two linear and adaptive sliding mode controllers have been used for synchronization.in the proposed approach control mechanism,the rules for updating the unknown parameters have been introduced by Lipshitz condition in chaotic system and use of Lyapunov function stability proposed control system in robust synchronization mentioned system have been confirmed. Finally, synchronization is performed between the master and slave neutral chaotic system )Jark and Gensiotsio( with nonlinear uncertainty and external disturbance as well as parameters and unknown time delay. Examination of the simulation results shows that the controller overcame the external disturbance and boundary uncertainty in the shortest time. And The estimation of the parameters of the main system is well done, which indicates the accuracy of the theory analysis. Manuscript profile

        The most geometric properties of inner product spaces like strict convexity and smoothness my fail to hold in a general normed linear spaces. Also, some main properties of the orthogonality in inner product spaces do not always carry over to generalized orthogonalities. Taking these into account different types of orthogonality relations provide a good frame for studying the geometric properties of normed linear spaces.In this paper, we give a characterization of inner product spaces using the notion of Hermite–Hadamard type of Carlsson’s orthogonality in normed linear spaces. First, we provide some more results about the existence property of this orthogonality. Next, we prove that Hermite-Hadamard type of Carlsson’s orthogonality is additive in a normed linear space X if and only if X is an inner product space. Our approach to prove this fact is using the relationship between Birkhoff-James orthogonality and the Gateaux differentiability of the norm of normed linear spaces. Manuscript profile

        To understand inequality, it is necessary to evaluate the theoretical foundation of school in which, inequality is defined before evaluating by various indicators. Market-oriented and societal approaches each one somehow, explain the inequality and its causes. First group considers it inevitable and is considered as a component of economic growth, and second group considers it as the result of policy-making by state. This paper tries to provide a model for analyzing the configuration of inequality in countries with a "limited access order" economic system, using the concepts extracted from the theoretical foundations in the of the new institutional economy as an interdisciplinary approach. This model demonstrates that unofficial economic institutions, along with legal economic institutions that seek to redistribute resources, illegally accumulate wealth in Political and economic elite and are used as a tool by informal political institutions to distribute loyalty rents to the masses. The total of these factors leads to a configuration of inequality in which, inequality itself too, affects the formation and durability of Unevenness institutions and this cycle is constantly repeated. The methodology of research is qualitative and the extraction of concepts is from the theories that have the same ontological, epistemological, anthropological, and methodological foundations.

        Nowadays, using superabsorbent polymers such as pumice is one of practical approaches to increasing water storage in soil and increasing irrigation efficiency. To  investigate the effects of pumice on chemical and physical characteristics of soil, growth parameters and irrigation schedule of onion, an experiment in CRD design as factorial with three factors including: 1) soil type (with two raters: a) sandy loam  and b) clay loam, 2) irrigation schedule (with two rates: a) 7 and b) 4 days) and 3) pumice (with four  rates: 0, 2.5, 5 and 7.5 percentage by weight) and three replications was conducted. Results showed that increasing pumice rate could increase bulb dry matter, bulb diameter and bulb height. Pumice also could increase seales number in bulb, p and K concentration in plant and also available P and K concentration and CEC in soil. Pumice application in both soils, increased soil salinity, but in none of soils, soil EC was not more than 5 dS/m. Pumice application in both soils could decrease soil pH and compaction significantly. There was no significant difference between 5% and 7.5% of pumice rates, in bulb dry matter in sandy loam, height and diameter of bulb in clay loam, P and K concentration of onion and soil, CEC, compaction, salinity in sandy loam and drainage salinity. Between irrigation rates was no significant difference in none of properties, in treatments that received pumice. It can be concluded that using 5% pumice in soil, we can increase irrigation schedule of onion from 4 to 7 days. Manuscript profile

        A number of ancient people believed that some gods will accompany their spirits in the next world or even will judge them based on their deeds in this world. One of these gods is Inšušinak, the great god of the Elamites, about his judgement in the nether world a number of studies has been done. In this essay, in the light of the Elamite texts we are going to find out why they chose him for this role, and hence, to acknowledge the importance of the judgement after death for the Elamites. They called him with the titles such as “the guardian god of the king”, “the great god”, “the great guardian”, “the guardian of our city”, “my god”, “my ruler”, “my ancestor”, “the guardian of Susa”, “god of the kings”, and also “god of the dead and tombs”. Some other gods like Išme-karāb and Lagamal were also considered as Inšušinak’s helpers and assistants. So it seems that Inšušinak performed a number of functions and as the Elamites feard him, they gave him the role of judgement as well. There is no clear evidence of the importance of the god of the next world or the judgement of the spirit in the Elamite texts, but it seems that the importance of this issue made them to consider it as the function of such a great god.

        Despite being ill-furnished with primary sources of information about the Elamite religion, some valuable information can be gleaned from the archaeological findings and also from Elamite and Mesopotamian texts. A large group of Elamite texts were composed at the time of Šilhak-Inšušinak (1150-1120 BCE), a middle-Elamite king and the third sovereign of the Šutrukid dynasty. Different deities and temples are mentioned in his inscriptions. Most of the temples mentioned by him had been built by his predecessor and as they were in a state of dilapidation, he restored them. What is specifically studied here is the Elamite temples based on the inscriptions of Šilhak-Inšušinak. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Antropogenic heavy metals discharge in to the precious environment has been a key burden of modernity. Excess trace elements have driven the fertile soil and water mediums in to unstable and fragile states in many countries. In recent years bio-remediation approaches via various plants species, has been highlited as prior strategies in soil pollution control. Method: The present study aims to assess phytoremediation of Pharagmites australis (common reed) for lead contamination in constructed wetland. Experimental design was performed in an entirely randomized plan having two factors and three replications. Accordingly lead and levels of metal stress were obtained.    Findings: According to indoor expriments results, any increment in lead concentration enhances root-shoot metal absorbing. However, impressive accumulation of heavy metals was in roots and its translocation and accumulation in shoot was reported in lesser portions. Results of regression analysis showed concentration increment of lead in P.australis organs under these metal stress condition which was fixed as a quadratic function with R2 >90 (p<0.01). Discussion & Conclusion: P.australis showed high relatively resistant to lead stress. High accumulation capacity for metals in roots and low heavy metal translocation factor were observed during the present study.   Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Selection of appropriate technologies for wastewater treatment according to climate, economic and social conditions is very important. The use of non-advanced technology with low energy consumption wastewater treatment systems such as a constructed wetland is cost effective and contributes to environmental reclamation. The aim of this study was to determine the efficiency of surface flow constructed wetland in the removal of COD and TSS parameters from Bu-Ali industrial town wastewater. Method: For the removal of COD and TSS parameters from Bu-Ali industrial town wastewater, three shallow artificial wetlands with retention time of 2 days were made as pilot. The samples were collected using specific containers from the input and output of the reactor and analyzed according to the standard methods. The obtained data were analyzed using the SPSS 18.0 statistical package. Findings: The results showed that the removal efficiencies of COD and TSS were 75% and 80% respectively. Discussion and Conclusion: Although the removal efficiencies of COD and TSS in the surface flow constructed wetland containing Phragmites australis are acceptable, the treated wastewater is not suitable for irrigation because of the high concentration of organic matter at the wetland output.

        Background and Objective: One of the most important methods to investigate heavy metals is to apply bio-monitors used as an appropriate index to express the environment quality. In this study, the concentrations of such heavy metals as Zn, Pb and Cu in the underground and aerial organs of Phragmites australis were investigated to study the pollution status in Hashilan Pond, Kermanshah and the effects of dominant species called Phragmites australis in the region. Method: The samples were prepared by nitric acid, perchloric acid and peroxide oxygen and afterwards, the concentrations of elements were measured by the atomic absorption spectrometry. Findings: Results demonstrated that the concentrations of copper, lead and zinc were estimated at 47.23, 6.17 and 24.21 in the sediments, respectively. Also, the mean concentrations of copper, lead and zinc were 2.738-2.190, 15.143-13.02 and 6.11-6.37 mg-1in the underground and aerial organs, respectively; furthermore, the highest metal concentration was related to the underground organs of plant. High values of transfer index concerning zinc indicated high ability of zinc transfer in the plant. In this regard, a positive significant correlation exists between the concentration of zinc in the underground and aerial organs; Discussion and Counclusion: Therefore, the underground organs of reed are introduced as a suitable monitor for the resultant pollution of zinc in the regional sediments.

        Objectives: Maintaining the balance of nutrients leads to increase yield so the essential elements should be available enough in the process of plant nutrition. This experiment was performed by foliar application of iron, zinc, and manganese nano-clates under limited irrigation conditions to improving leaf area index and leaf chlorophyll concentration.Methods: The two years experiment was conducted (2016-2017). The main plot included four levels of irrigation: full irrigation, irrigation withhold at flowering stage, podding stage, and grain filling period. The subplot included eight levels of foliar application with Fe, Zn, Mn, Fe+Zn, Fe+Mn, Zn+Mn, Fe+Zn+Mn nano-chelates, and distilled water (control).Results: Drought stress reduced leaf area index significantly. The highest reduction was obtained from the interaction of control treatment and cessation of irrigation in the pod stage, which was 31.5% less than the full irrigation treatment. Foliar application of Zn+Mn was more successful in modulating drought stress and increased leaf area index by 49.4% compared to the control. Irrigation cessation in flowering stage increased chlorophyll concentration by 11.2% and decreased it by 16.5% in pod stage. With the application of Fe+Zn nano-chelate increased on leaf chlorophyll concentration in the pod stage and grain formation by 38.8% and 39.1% compared to the control and was recognized as the best treatment.Conclusion: In limited irrigation conditions, foliar feeding of Fe, Zn and Mn nano-chlates is a suitable solution and compatible with water crisis and can improve soybean yield by modifying drought stress and improving leaf area index and leaf chlorophyll concentration.

        Abstract: In recent years, convexity theory has experienced rapid development. Many researchers have expanded it. A notable generalization of the convex function is the Inox function introduced and studied by Hanson. This has greatly expanded the role of inox in optimization. Ben and Mond introduced a class of functions called generalizations of pre-Inox functions. Regarding change inequalities and related problems in recent years, Pite and Postloche introduced the concept of pseudo pre-invex, and applied it in theoretical mechanics and nonlinear optimization. Later, Pite and Antchak introduced this concept of invex, and applied it to vector optimization. This shows that pre-invexity plays an important role in the development of various fields of pure and applied sciences. In this article, we first introduce the concept of  -pre-inox and then state and prove the Hermit-Hadamard theorem for it, and we will state that the previously obtained inequalities are a direct result of our main theorem. In this article, we first introduce the concept of  invex sets and  pre-invex functions. Then state and prove the Hermit-Hadamard theorem for it, and state that the previous inequalities are a direct result of our main theorem.Introduction: Quantum calculus is known as the study of differential and integral calculus without restrictions. Euler (1783-1707) was the first to study quantum calculus. He introduced q in Newton's infinite series compositions. In the early 20th century, the study of quantum calculus was started by Jackson. In quantum computing, we obtain mathematical equivalents of q objects that can be recovered as . Note that quantum calculus is a subset of time scale calculus. The time scale of calculus provides a unified framework for the study of dynamical equations in both discrete and continuous domains. That in quantum calculus, we deal with a specific time scale called the q time scale. Quantum calculus is a bridge between mathematics and physics. Due to the significant applications of quantum computing in mathematics and physics, this issue has been the focus of many researchers. As a result, quantum calculus has emerged as a fascinating field. In recent years, convexity theory has experienced rapid development. Many researchers have expanded it. A notable generalization of the convex function is the inex function, which was introduced and studied by Hanson [1]. This has greatly expanded the role of inox in optimization. Ben and Mond [2] introduced a class of functions called generalizations of pre-invex functions.This fundamental result of Hermit and Hadamard (HH) has obtained by many mathematicians, and as a result, this inequality has been extended by Noor in various ways using new ideas and obtained the Hermit-Hadamard inequality for pre-invex functions. Regarding variational inequalities and related problems in recent years, Pite and Postloche [3],[4]  and [5] introduced the concept of pseudo pre-invex, and applied it in theoretical mechanics and nonlinear optimization. Later, Pite and Antchak [6] introduced this concept of inexity, and applied it in vector optimization. This shows that pre-invex plays an important role in the development of various fields of pure and applied sciences. For more details on the quantum calculus see references [7].MethodNo method applicable.Results and Discussion: In This article, we improve the Hermite-Hadamard (HH) integral inequality for  - preinvex functions.Assuming , Theorem 3.1 of the article [8], that is, relation (3) is obtained. Assuming , the main theorem of the article [9] and  and , Hermit Hadamard's main inequality is obtained. Manuscript profile

        The increasing use of distributed generation sources in microgrids causes problems when a fault occurs, including an increase in the level of short-circuit current in the microgrid and consequently it causes disturbances in the system after fixing the fault. In this paper, using a novel method, the installation location and the optimal resistance value of the resistive superconducting fault current limiter in the microgrid are determined by considering the energy losses in the resistive superconducting fault current limiter, the requirements of low voltage ride through of the doubly fed induction generator and the interrupting capacity of circuit breakers. Also, a mathematical model of resistive superconducting fault current limiter is presented, which by simulating and placing it in the microgrid and applying various types of faults in different points of the microgrid, the effectiveness of the proposed resistive superconducting fault current limiter in reducing the short circuit current level of the microgrid, the impact of simultaneous use of resistive superconducting fault current limiter and auto recloser in significant decreasing of disturbances after Fixing the fault and improving the requirements of low voltage ride through of the doubly fed induction generator are approved. Finally, the analytical comparison of the proposed method with other studies conducted in this field is examined and proves its effectiveness. Manuscript profile

        Microcerotermes diversus (Iso.: Termitidae) is one of the most destructive termites in Khuzestan province (Iran). In this study, ability of pathogenicity of the fungus Metarhizium anisopliae strain of Saravan (DEMI 001) against termite M. diversus was investigated in choice and no- choice bioassay trials by smeary and immersion methods. Results showed that concentration and time of fatality in the smeary method was higher than the immersion method. The lowest level of LC50 and LT50, it related to bioassay test no- choice with immersion method. Those level were 3.1 × 104 spore Ml-1 and 1.02 day, respectively. The feeding of treated and untreated filter paper in choice test showed that fungal conidial suspension in concentrations used in this study had no repellency effect against the target termite. Overall, this study showed that the fatality rate of fungal pathogen. M. anisopliae against termite M. diversus was associated with the fungus population.   Manuscript profile

        Reaction of some almond cultivars including Sefid, Mamaei, Rabie, Non pariel, Shahrood 6, Shahrood 7, Shahrood 13, Shahrood 21 and Shahrood 12 to almond spider mite. Schizotetranychus smirnovi Wainst. Were evaluated in Saman region, during 2008-2009. In the first trial, after grafting of cultivars on GF677 root stock, they were transferred to an orchard and were kept under  insect  net  to prevent natural infestation. Cultivars were infested artificially by introducing 5 adult female mites on each plant. Twenty one days after infestation, leaves were collected and mite population density (number of eggs, nymphs and adults) were counted. Results indicated that Sefid and Feraduel (Shahrood 12) cultivars supported the highest mite population; whereas, Shahrood21 and Shahrood 6 supported the lowest mite population. In the second trail, almond cultivars were evaluated under natural infestation during 2 sampling times (with 15 days interval). Mean comparison of the mite population density (eggs, larvae, nymphs and adults) showed that Mamaei cultivar (mean 63 and 206.2 mites in the first and second sampling times, respectively) supported the highest; whereas, Shahrood 21 (mean 6.2 and 22 mites) supported the lowest mite population density.  Study density of leaf trichomes and concentration of leaf total phenolic compounds showed that there was not significant positive relation between them and resistance to the mite.

        In order to evaluate the resistance mechanism of Navy Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) to two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae Koch), an experiment was conducted in greenhouse conditions during 2009-2010. Efficient mechanism of resistance including antibiosis, antixenosis and tolerance of 50 genotypes of navy bean was evaluated using standard greenhouse tests.  All experiments followed a complete randomized design (CRD) with 3 replications and 50 treatments (Genotypes).  Analysis of variance and mean values comparison using the Duncan procedure showed that there was a significant difference between three mechanisms of resistance in 50 genotypes at 5 % level.  The most response of antibiosis was seen in genotype numbers 41188, 41103, 41117, 41190, 41109, 41111, 41161, 41178, 41106, 41127, 41133 and 41151.  Genotype numbers 41188, 41121, 41158, 41113, 11867 and 41101 were the most resistant genotypes. 16 genotypes showed the most response of antixenosis. Appraising the Plant Resistance Index (PRI) by using the reverse product of values of resistance mechanisms and genotype numbers 41151 and 41134 showed the highest and lowest values, respectively. Our results show that genotype numbers 41151, 41121 and 41188 have the most potential of resistance to this pest with antibiosis and antixenosis as the principal mechanisms of resistance.  Manuscript profile

        Fig spider mite, Eotetranychus hirsti (Acari: Tetranychidae) is a serious pest of figs (Ficus carica L.) in Iran and other fig growing areas in the world. Under low mite infestation level, the leaves show small transparent patches while under high infestation the leaves with yellowish-green appearance drop down prematurely. Effects of three doses (0.3, 0.4, 0.5 per thousand liters) of new acaricide envidor speed (spirodiclofen 222+abamactin, 18g/l SC) evaluated in comparison with three other acaricides i.e. spirodiclifen (0.5 per thousand liters), bromopropylate (1.5 per thousand liters) and abamectin (0.5 per thousand liters) on egg and adult stages of fig spider on Ezmir variety of fig orchards in Agricultural Research Center (ARC) of Estahban-Fars, during 2014. Five replications for every treatment done through randomized complete block design. 50 leaves were plucked from each block at random and number of egg and adult of Eo. hirsti recorded through ten sampling interval, one day before, 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, 24 and 30 days after chemical applications. The efficacy of the acaricides was calculated by Henderson and Tilton formula. The data were subjected to ANOVA and the means were analyzed by Duncan test. The results showed that after 5 days, three dose of envidor speed have a good effect than bromopropylate and abamectin. While the treated trees with bromopropylate and abamectin have a significant population of egg mite 16.6 and 22.5 eggs respectively, after 30 days. The mean number of eggs in treated trees with bromopropylate and abamectin increased after 15 days. Efficacy of bromopropylate and abamectin showed an absolute control on adult mite after one day and mean mortality was 93.12 and 98.12 percent, respectively. Different concentration of envidor speed showed high efficacy after 3 days and for 03, 0.4 and 0.5 mortality were 94.99, 94.65 and 100%, respectively. Spirodiclofen showed high efficacy after 7 days. The efficacy of bromopropylate and abamectin decreased after 15 days and were 47.13 and 72.43% after 30 days, respectively. The results showed that envidor speed has a longer and good effect on egg and adult form of fig spider mite. Manuscript profile

        Introduction : Species diversity is one of the most significant indicators of changes in ecosystems. Due to their nutritional diversity, abundance, and ubiquity, mites can be a good representative of arthropods in the soil. Whereas Mesostigmatic mites are the largest in terms of number and distribution in Parasitiformes and are able to live among different terrestrial habitats, they can be of great ecological importance. Therefore, the diversity of stigmatic mites from the Macrochelidae family was studied in 2016 in Shiraz.Material and Methods : A total number of eight species of two genera belonging to the Macrochelidae family was identified and collected from 12 plant hosts in the parks of Shiraz. The highest number of samples was collected in spring and autumn. The highest to lowest samples were collected in October and July, respectively. Among the plant hosts, Piracanta with 109 samples and pine with 33 samples had the highest to lowest hosts, respectively. Biodiversity was calculated with Shannon-Wiener, Simpson, Margalf, Pete, Manhink indices using Past 4.02 and Spss23 softwareDiscussion : Macrocheles glaber (Muller, 1860) with 170 specimens (22%) and Glyptholaspis confusa (Foa) with 17 specimens (2.2%) had the highest and lowest frequencies, respectively.Result :  The highest values of Simpson index 0.8553 and Shannon 1.985 are related to winter, and the lowest values are 0.8235 and 1.834, respectively, related to summer while the Manning coefficient is 0.7 and the Margalf coefficient 1.315 and they are the lowest values in summer. The highest coefficients of Simpson and Shannon which are 0.8617 and 2.021 respectively, can be seen in Azadi Park.  Manuscript profile

        Termites are one of the most important insect pests in many countries of the world such as Iran. The use of Insect growth regulators (IGRs) together with entomopathogenic fungi is one of the strategies of IPM against these pests. In this study, The effect pyriproxyfen  with M. anisopliae was assayed on worker termite of Amitermes vilis. In order to determine the LC50 of insecticides, bioassay tests were carried out on  worker termites. The LC50 of M. anisopliae was 8.5× 103 spores/ml and LC50 for pyriproxyfen was 9.56  mg/L. Three concentrations of entomopathogenic fungus including 5× 101, 5× 102 and 103 spores/ml were mixed with LC15 (0.5 ppm) of pyriproxyfen. The bioassay of the three mixtures on worker termites showed that M. anisopliae and pyriproxyfen had  an additive interaction and the mixture of fungi concentrations with pyriproxyfen can be used for termite control.

        Due to the harmful effects of using chemical pesticides to control Varroa in honey bee colonies, the use of non-chemical methods such as hygenic behaviors of honey bee has been considered. The hygenic behaviour includes detection of dead, infected or abnormal infants in breed cells, uncapping, removing the broods and grooming to remove Varroa from the body. These hygenic behaviours are important defense mechanisms against a variety of pathogens such as bee bacteria, fungi and also Varroa mites. In this research, the hygenic mechanism and grooming behaviour of Iranian honey bees against Varroa mite was investigated in two generations. The study was accomplished on 60 colonies (30 resistant and 30 sensitive colonies as control) of Alborz National Institute of Animal Science Research in two sessions: one day a week from September to October 2014, and from June to October 2015. To measure the grooming behaviour, grease-treated plates were installed in the floor of the test bed and the number of healthy and unhealthy Varroa Mite on the plates was counted. The rate of uncapping and removed of dead broods was determined in resistant and control colonies on June 2014 and October 2015. To determine the hygenic behaviour, liquid Nitrogen was used to kill pupae. The number of uncapped and discharged cells was counted in three periods of 24, 48 and 72 hours after the application of liquid nitrogen. Colonies that removed more than 95% of dead, infected or abnormal broods within 48 hours were considered as very hygienic colonies.The average of grooming behaviour in 2014 and 2015 was 61 ± 1 and 65 ± 3 per colony respectively (p Manuscript profile

        Two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae) is one of the most important pests of cucumber. In order to investigate the effect of different concentrations of potassium on biology and life table of this mite, cucumber plant was nourished by three levels of potassium including deficiency level of potassium K1 (5 meq­/­l K+), standard level of potassium K2 (7 meq­/­l K+) and excess level of potassium K3 (9 meq­/­l K+). The experiments were performed under laboratory conditions at 25±1 C°, 60±5% relative humidity and a photoperiod of 16:8 (L:D) hours. Based on the obtained results, the mean of pre-imaginal developmental time in deficiency, standard and excess levels of potassium was 11.66, 12.15 and 11.35 days for males and 12.2, 11.78 and 10.73 days for females, respectively. The highest mean of females life span was observed in plants which nourished by the lowest concentration of potassium and showed significant different with two other levels of potassium. The maen of oviposition period in mentioned levels was 13.71, 8.18 and 11.72 days, respectively. Also the maximum value of total fecundity was recorded in deficiency level of potassium. Mortality percentage of pre-imaginal stages was estimated 30.74, 23.65 and 20.34% in mentioned levels, respectively. Age specific survival rate (lx) at adult emergence in deficiency, standard and excess levels of potassium was estimated 0.55, 0.66 and 0.73, respectively. The highest value of life expectancy (ex) in the start of the experiments was recorded as 35.31 days in 9 meq­/­l K+ concentration. The results showed that deficiency of potassium in cucumber plants is caused more reproduction in two- spotted spider mite. So proper management of plant nutrition can be one of the most effective strategies to control this pest in integrated pest management programs. Manuscript profile

        Carmine spider mite, Tetranychus cinnabarinus Boisduval, is an important pest of ornamental plants such as roses in the world. In this research, population changes and the growth parameters of T. cinnabarinus reared on three rose cultivars (Magic Red, Polar Star, Dolce vita) at different amount of nitrogen fertilization (0, 50 and 100 Kg ha-1) were evaluated at 27±2°C, 70±5% RH and 16: 8 h (L: D) photoperiod. The highest and lowest abundance of mites were observed at levels of 100 and 0 (control) Kg ha-1 nitrogen. In all levels of nitrogen, the density of pest were the highest (79.25) on the Magic Red and lowest on the Dolce Vita variety. Also results showed that on all varieties, the 100 Kg ha-1 nitrogen provided the highest intrinsic rate of increase (rm), finite rate of increase (λ) and net reproductive rate of (R0). By increasing the rate of fertilizer, the doubling time of population (DT) decreased and the mite completed its generation in the shortest time (T). This study revealed that the use of high levels of nitrogen can considerably increase population and reproductive rate of carmine spider mite in rose greenhouse. Manuscript profile

        Two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae) is an important pest of ornamental plants such as rose plants in many regions of the world. Population densities of this mite were recorded on 3 rose cultivars, including Dolcevita, Red naomi and White naomi in a greenhouse at 20 ± 3°C, 70% RH and 10 hour L and 14 hour D. Numbers of eggs, larvae, nymph and adults were counted in one cm2 on lower part of leaves. Analysis of variances showed that the number of eggs, larvae, nymphs and adults were significantly different on the rose cultivars. The mean number of total mites on Dolcevita, Red naomi and White Naomi were 3.45, 7.7 and 8.97 per square cm. respectively. Based on the results White naomi was the most susceptible and Dolcevita was the least resistant cultivar. Manuscript profile

        The paper deals with the some of the more important parasitic mites associated with honeybees. Varroa destructor Anderson and Trueman is worldwide and the most familiar and destructive of the bee mites, causing death and damage to large numbers of honeybees. Known from Asia, the tropical bee mites Tropilaelaps clareae Delfinado and Baker and T. koenigerum Delfinado Baker and Baker, are spreading and are a potential threat to bee keepers in many parts of the world. Two new species of Tropilaelaps have recently been described. Acarapis woodi Rennie, known as the honeybee tracheal mite (H.B.T.M.) reduces the resistance of bees to other parasites and diseases, shortens the life cycle and in heavy infestations can block the tracheae of bees.

        Resistance of different almond cultivars/genotypes including: ‘Sefid’, ‘Mamaei’, ‘Rabie’, ‘Shokofeh’, ‘Azar’, ‘Non pariel’, ‘Shahrood 6’, ‘Shahrood 7, ‘Shahrood 12’, ‘Shahrood 13’ and ‘Shahrood 21’ were studied to two-spotted spider mite (TSSM), TetranychusurticaeKoch. All cultivars/genotypes were grafted on ‘Gf677’ rootstock in 4 replications. Study was done in the laboratory and greenhouse conditions. Leaf discs (2.5×1.2 cm) were prepared from leaves and placed on wet cotton in a plastic petri dish and infested with 5 adult female mites (3-5 days in age). Leaf discs were kept in an incubator at 25±1 0C, RH= 55 ±5% and a photoperiod of 14:10 (L:D). After 72 h, mite oviposition and mortality were measured. Based on the results, the highest and lowest oviposition were observed on ‘Mamaei’ and ‘Shahrood 21’ cultivars. The highest mite mortality was observed on ‘Shahrood 13’. Biological characteristics study of TSSM on different cultivars in the laboratory showed that cultivars significantly affected survival, immature period, mature period and mite oviposition. The highest survival percentage was recorded on ‘Azar’ (88%) and the lowest on ‘Shokoofe’ (47%) and ‘Shahrood 21’ (50%). The longest (5.27 days) immature period was observed on ‘shahrood 21’. The shortest mature period was observed on ‘Shahrood 21’ (5.15 days) and ‘Shokoofe’ (5.2 days); whereas, the longest (10.45 days) was observed on ‘Mamaei’. The highest ovipositional rate (57.6 eggs/female) was observed on ‘Mamaei’; whereas, the lowest was recorded on ‘Shokoofe’ (15.1eggs/female) and ‘Shahrood 21’ (31eggs/female). Greenhouse study showed that the highest density of mite population was supported on ‘Non pareil’ and ‘Shahrood 6’ cultivars while the lowest one was reared on ‘Shokofeh’ and ‘Shahrood 21’. Results indicated that ‘Shokofeh’, ‘Shahrood 21’ and ‘Shahrood 13’ variety/genotypes were the most resistant, whereas, ‘Mamaei’ and ‘Non pariel’ were the most susceptible varieties to two-spotted spider mite.

        Studying the Supply chain for products with the limited lifespan is important not only in the supply chain but also in production and distribution of food. One of these products is the Olive oil produced by the ETKA Company, whose production and distribution always have different challenges with regard to their limited life. Therefore, in this study, considering the current status of the supply chain of the supermarket stores in three levels of producer, storage, and distributor, a new model for determining the optimal distribution that leads to lower costs in the company is presented. Firstly, the three-level model was presented and described and then using the GAMS software and also the GA algorithm and by using the information received from the company, the optimum distribution of olive oil was determined. Based on the results obtained from the model’s solution, implementation of the model for the supermarket stores not only determines the optimal distribution but also leads to lower costs, which can be spent on investment in different sectors.

        Baft coloured mélange with approximate area 617 km2, is located along Baft and Shahr-e-Babak major faults insouth of Kerman province. Field and microscopic studies on peridotites, chromitites and related dunites in thisarea indicate that they are formed in mantle environment. Because peridotites in this mélange have been deeplyaltered (serpentinized), primary minerals such as olivine and pyroxene have been changed into secondaryminerals, spinels are only resistant primary minerals against alteration in these rocks that has been survived incompletely serpentinized rocks. In this study, chemical compositions of spinels' unaltered cores have been usedfor the petrogenesis and tectonic setting of the studied peridotites and chromitites. Based on evidences, thestudied lithologies can be divided into two groups. The first group is peridotites include harzburgite, dunite andlherzolite that belong to Alpian type peridotites and the harzburgites, probably resulted from 15-20 percentpartial melting of a fertile lhrzolitic mantle. Second groups are chromitites for which a magmatic genesis couldbe assumed. The studied chromitites are podiform and their parental magma is boninite. The chromites withaverage Cr2O3=62.8% and Cr#=0.83 are classified as Cr-rich chromitites or as the first grade type chromites inthe world. Cr# and Mg# values indicate that the studied chromitites have been crystallized from boninitemagmas, probably in suprasubduction zone setting in a back arc environment. Manuscript profile

        Extraction of mineral resources and mining can be lead to soil contamination by heavy metals. To determination of the origin of the metals in the sediments in Forumad chromite mine, the sediment samples were taken and analyzed using the sequential extraction method. Analysis of soil samples showed that the concentration of chromium and nickel in sediment is higher than that of global shale. Chromium and nickel in soil distribution map of the region shows that the highest concentration of chromium and nickel in samples from inside the mine tailings deposits of chromite Forumad been harvested according to the average concentration of chromium and nickel in the global shale, the top the amount of chromium in the sediment was attributable to mining activities. Our study shows that Nickel and Chromium with more than 45% concentration are interchangeable phase, which indicating anthropogenic source. Mining activity plays an important role in increasing the concentration of these elements as interchangeable phase. Cd, Pb, Zn and Fe with more than 30% concentration in residual phase, are related to lithogenic source. The results of the sequential extraction method are compatible with the pollution index in the area. Manuscript profile

        Heavy metals are among the most important environmental pollutants that enter the sea through coastal areas and rivers and accumulate through the food chain in aquatic organisms (Ebadi et al., 2005). These elements enter the environment as a result of natural and human factors, especially industrial, agricultural and urban wastewater, and accumulate through aquatic food through chain food (Ismaili et al., 2009). Industrial activities increase the burden of heavy metals in the rivers. Aquatic plants have a high ability to measure heavy metals through the process of absorption and accumulation in their tissues due to deposition in the aquatic environment and nutrition from the bed. In this research, we measured the concentration of three heavy metals, Zn, Cu and Cd in sediment samples of wetlands and tissues of wetland Phragmites Australis and Typha angustifolia in Enzily Aziz wetland. For this purpose, three sampling stations were selected in the western part of the wetland and sampled in July 1397. From each station, 1 standard sediment sample was collected with standard van Wang standard and one sample of Phragmites Australis and Typha angustifolia was randomly harvested. Samples in the laboratory after drying and powdering were analyzed by acid digestion method and based on ASTM 2000 standard. The results of this study indicate that the average amount of zinc element in Phragmites Australis tissue from 3 stations was 2266.8 ppm, the average copper element was 8.7 ppm and the average element of cadmium was about 198. ppm. The average amount of zinc element in the tissue of Typha angustifolia was between 3 stations sampled at 315.6 ppm, the average element of copper was 10.66 ppm, and the average element of cadmium was about 49 ppm is. The concentration of zinc in the bedding of the wetland was about 26234 ppm, the concentration of Cozum element was about 22.2 ppm and cadmium was about 1.14 ppm. Evidence suggests increased zinc concentrations compared to other heavy metals found in the root tissues of Phragmites Australis and Typha angustifolia. Manuscript profile

        The plum bud gall mite, Acalitus phloeocoptes (Nalepa, 1890) (Eriophyoidea: Eriophyidae) is one of the new and destructive pests on plum trees of West Azerbaijan province. In this study, with the aim of assessing the phenology of the hibernating mites’ emergence in the plum orchards, Shablon cultivar, the mites were trapped with the sticky bands and counted every seven days. At the same time, the phenology of the plum trees was considered and photographed. Also, the effects of five useful pesticides including Propargite 57% (Omite® EC), Abamectin 1.8% (Vertimec® EC), Fenpyroximate 5% (Ortus® SC), Diflovidazin 20% (Flumite® SC), and Sulfur 80% (Sulfur® WP) were evaluated against population dynamics of this pest in the plum orchards of Miandoab region. These chemicals were sprayed on the aerial parts of the trees at the recommended rate and the live mites were captured using the sticky bands. The phenological results showed that most individuals emerged on 4th May, during the falling petals. In addition, the sampling after seven and fourteen days post-spraying illustrated that all of the pesticides had a significant effect on the mite (P<0.01). Thus, all of the five chemicals could be useful for control of the bud gall mite in the condition of the Miandoab region. Also, additional studies are necessary for the management of this pest during longer intervals in different climatic conditions. Manuscript profile

        Two spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch is one of the most important pests of agricultural products that damages many plants, including cucumber in greenhouses. A new acaricide Oberon Speed®) abamectin, EC 8.1% + spiromesifen, SC 24% (0.4 ml/l and 0.5ml/l was compared to Kanemite® (acequinocyl, SC 15%) 1.25 ml/l, Danisaraba® (Cyflumetofen, SC 20%), 1 ml/l and control treatment (Water spraying) for efficacy against spider mite under greenhouses condition in Kerman (Jiroft city) and Isfahan (Isfahan city) provinces. Sampling of each treatment was done at one day before spraying then 3, 7 and 14 days after spraying respectively. The percentage of efficiency was calculated using Henderson-Tilton formula and statistical analysis was conducted using SAS software with randomized complete block design. In two provinces, the mean mortality of treatments was significant. In Jiroft, the mean mite mortality of Oberon Speed® 0.5 ml/l at 3 and 7 was 89.57% and 91.57% and the efficacy declined on 14th day (63.90%). During the test, Kanemite® and Oberon Speed® 0.4 ml/l caused mortality in the range of 76.30-89.04% and 56.89-75.63%. In Isfahan, the efficacy of Oberon Speed® 0.4 ml/l and 0.5 ml/l was 74.08-63.99% and 91.9.-79.61% respectively and Danisaraba® effected 71.98-87.38%. Result showed that mite mortality of Oberon Speed® 0.5 ml/l recorded more than 74.73% in both provinces and it can be recommended for control of spider mite in greenhouse cucumbers; there were no residues of Oberon Speed® 0.4 ml/l and 0.5 ml/l, after 7 days spraying.  Manuscript profile

        Today mushroom cultivation has become one of the money making sources in industry and trade all around the world. Due to its production system, this rich nutritional product is under the attack of several pest agents. In this study, the arthropods existing in mushroom cultivation systems was collected through two production stages, spawning and casing from six production units in Zarandieh county, Marakazi province. Samples were separated by Berlese funnel and retained in Ethanol 70%; then identified by certified resources. The abundance of each species was caulcuated and the mean density of different species were compared statistically. In total, 1814 samples belonging to different orders of Insecta and Acari were collected. 790 samples were collected through spawning and 1024 samples through casing. Collected arthropods belonging to 15 species under 14 genera and 11 families. Tyrophagus putrescentiae was the most abundant species (18.91 ± 2.06%) with significant difference. Megaselia halterata (14.39± 1.88 %) and Lycoriella auripila (11.87 ± 0.47) were the most abundant species, subsequently. Among the collected species, two predators, Atheta coriaria and M. galber were identified. Most of the collected species were saprophagous and infected compost would be a possible way to introduce them into the mushroom cultivation systems. Samples like M. halterata, Megaselia scalaris, L. auripila, Colbodia fuscipes and T. putrescentiae were mycophagous and could make direct damage to mushroom product. Compost sterilizing would be an effective way to eliminate pest arthropods in mushroom cultivation systems. Manuscript profile

Previous discoveries in the region of central Zagros and especially in Kermanshah province indicate that seals have a long history. For example, in Tapeh Giyan, it goes back at least to the Early Chalcolithic and Bronze periods. Despite the importance of the findings of Chogha Maran, Dehsavar, and Tapeh Tyalineh, the number of known sites in the west of central Zagros that have a collection of seals and seal impressions is very small, and there still is not a clear view about the level of complexity of the ancient sites in the region, especially regarding the use of seals and seal impressions, nor are the technology and style of seal cutting in this region understood. In this article, the authors have tried to introduce the seals and seal impressions of Tapeh Kheibar of Ravansar, showing the importance of this site among the other sites of the region, and provide some evidence of several thousand years of using property tools in this place. The current collection of Tapeh Kheibar includes six stamp seals, four cylindrical seals, and one seal impression, which range from the Chalcolithic to the Parthian period. The most important of these is a Kassite seal with a cuneiform inscription in the Sumerian language, which may have belonged to a high-ranking person in the Tapeh Kheibar in the Kassite period (second millennium BCE).

        Studies related to the historical period of Elam have correctly found that there are many unknowns in the history of Elamite governments. We still do not know many of the Elamite regions mentioned in Elamite and Mesopotamian tablets and inscriptions. We do not have complete command of the Elamite script as it should, and we do not have a lot of knowledge about the livelihood and daily life of the Elamites. This lack is more visible especially in the areas that have been less explored so far. Archaeological excavations in Fars and Khuzestan by Iranian and foreign archaeologists during the past century provide information about the way of life and religious thoughts of that period. However, one of the intellectual concerns of archaeologists has always been the relationship between the mountain people of Fars and the people who lived in the lowlands of Khuzestan. This process can be investigated from prehistoric times to modern times and can be comprehensively researched through archaeological excavations. One of the recently excavated sites is called Tel Bando. The results of the five seasons of archaeological excavations at Tel Bando provide us with many documents related to the way of life and social conditions of this mountainous region from the beginning of writing to the Achaemenid period. The obtained evidences show that this area was influenced by the prehistoric cultures of Fars region from the Bakun A period to the present day, it was the settlement of nomadic or sedentary tribes who chose this place for their temporary or permanent settlement.

        We witness the appearance of a new pottery tradition in Tepe Guran in Hulailan valley, at the beginning of Iron Age. There are several striking pottery types in the potteries of this phase of Tepe Guran, that, the most striking type is goblets. These goblets are rarely reported from the regions of around the Hulailan valley; nevertheless, Tepe Guran goblets have much close similarities with Mesopotamian Kassite goblets and Elamite goblets at Susiana plain. Important studies have been done about the appearance conditions and source of this goblet type in Hulailan valley, but their appearance conditions is still unknown. In this article, we attempt to find out the relationship between the goblets of Tepe Guran with their original distribution territories at Mesopotamian or Susiana plain through analyzing the results of archaeological studies that have been done at regions around the Hulailan valley and tracing the distribution position of this goblet type. Examination of archaeological findings indicates that so far this goblet type has not been found in the regions between Hulailan valley in the north and Susiana plain in south, including regions of Dehloran and Abdanan and Saimareh and Romeshghan valleys. Apparently, regions of Dehloran and Abdanan became abandoned at this time; nevertheless, results of studies at Mahidasht indicate presence of this goblet type at north of Hulailan valley. In fact, presence of this goblet type at Mahidasht, joined Hulailan valley to Mesopotamia through Khorasan Road and it seems that Tepe Guran goblets have Kassite origin. Manuscript profile

        Mian Kouh area of Ardal County due to high mountains, deep valleys, small plains and being in Nomads routes has been considered by humans from the past. Because of the importance of Elamite period in this region and since the period remains unknown in East mountainous areas of Khuzestan, knowing about settlement patterns and the impact of the environment on the formation and distribution Elamite sites is essential. During the three seasons survey in this area, in 1387 to 1390, 78 Elamite site was identified and recorded. The goal of this article is to study the environmental factors and their roles on shaping the human habitat spatial in Elamite period. For survey and statistical analysis of the effect of environmental factors on Elamite settlements we used some factors such as altitude, slope, distance from river and distance from communication routs in the area. To find the relationship of each site with another one we divided them, according to based map, into several classes and then we obtained the correlation of sites with each class.On this basis, for each environmental factor a map (GIS) was made and by outputs of this map, statistical analysis of each environmental factor and its role in understanding the settlement patterns in this area was done. Distance from water sources is one of the most important environmental factors in formation of Elamite settlement in the area, almost always all the sites had a suitable distance from the water sources. Other iimportant factors are distance from the path and slope direction. Manuscript profile

        The 90 kilometer lake of the Upper Gotvand Dam would submerge a large number of archeological sites in North of Khuzestan. Thus, a group of archeologists began to identify and record around the site, to know about the area before its being flooded. Kalantar 4 was one of the given sites, by the survey team, which was excavated in a horizontal way in March and April 2011. During this excavation, some remains of architecture and two semi-underground stone tombs belonging to New Elamite were found, which will have effective role in heightening our knowledge about the New Elamite in Susianna highlands. According to the comparative studies of the ceramics, there exist significant similarities among the ceramics found in Kalantar 4, Susa and the sites of Mianab Plain in Shooshtar. Furthermore, studying the architecture of the site based on an ethno-archeological approach, indicated a continuity in the region’s archeological traditions (at least, from the New Elamite period to the present).  Manuscript profile

        Elamite civilization is considered one of the oldest human civilizations. This brilliant civilization is still not as well known as it should be and the efforts of archaeologists and historians continue to identify it as much as possible. In the meantime, the lack of written sources left over from this civilization has a great impact on this ignorance, and the discovery of any inscription or writing can be a light on the history of the civilization of Elam. During the investigations of 1971-72 in Khuzestan plain, Dezful and Haft Tepe region, an inscription was discovered on a hill called "Pomp" which contains important information and details of the history of Ilam civilization. This article will deal with the discovery of this inscription and its introduction and translation. Manuscript profile

        In the numerous books and articles written on the Elamites, scholars rarely, if ever, have advanced any hypothesis on the formation of the early Elamite state organizations and how these organizations and the archaeological and historical landscapes of Elam, both in the highlands and lowlands, have differed from the contemporary political landscape of their Mesopotamian neighbors. Similarity, scholars simply ignore the tremendous difference between the natural landscape of Elam and southern Mesopotamia. This article focuses on these differences and traces them from the prehistoric era to the time when the long-lasting Elamite state was eclipsed in the first millennium BC. In doing so, the author pays close attention to the broad patterns revealed in the numerous archaeological surveys in southwestern Iran.  Manuscript profile

        In the second half of the fourth millennium BC. Southwest Asia underwent social changes, the result of which was the emergence of writing. In these developments, the cuneiform script in the south of the Mesopotamia and the Proto Elamite in the Iranian plateau progressed rapidly to such an extent that at the beginning of Elamite was scattered throughout the Iranian plateau. These writing systems were used for administrative and accounting purposes, and despite the fact that most of their signs are different from each other; there are important similarities between the two. Chalcolithic era, the best period in which you can see the idea of trading's and keeping of account; for the first time in this course, tools are seen which called them Token; it seems that the tokens in a variety of forms and counting symbols refer to a specific concept. The end of this period coincides with the Proto Elamites era in the south and southwest of Iran. Domestic production in the Neolithic period gave his place to the production of a workshop in the Chalcolithic era, which causes a lot of production. In the present study, firstly, will be investigated, small clay counters and then the Proto Elamite texts. Manuscript profile

        Abstract: The Iranian Plateau is, in the late 4th millennium B.C., with Mesopotamia and Egypt the birthplace of writing in the World. We propose here to consider the Proto-Elamite (Early Proto-Iranian) and Linear Elamite (Late Proto-Iranian) scripts, not as two different writing systems, but as the same system at two different chronological stages of evolution. Between 3500 and 1850 B.C., the continuous history of writing in Iran may be consequently understood according to 6 distinct phases (I: 3500-3300 B.C.; II: 3300-3000/2900 B.C.; III: 3000/2900-2300 B.C.; IV: 2300-2000 B.C.; V: 2000-1850 B.C.; VI: after 1850 B.C.).

        In this research, effect of feeding of five pollen sources, apple, pear, almond, apricot and walnut, as 5 treatments on the period of egg to adult, longevity and fecundity of the predatory mite, Typhlodromus bagdasarjani, was studied in a complete randomized design (CRD). Mites kept individually on black mulberry leaf discs at 24±2 °C temperature, 60±5 % relative humidity and a photoperiod of 16:8 (L:D) hours, with a sufficient quantity of the pollens. Results showed that T. bagdasarjani could develop and reproduce when the predatory mite feed on the all of diets. Thus, the pollens can be alternative foods for the mite. The mean of developmental time from egg to adult emergence varied between the treatments from 11.69 to 21.49 days for females and 11.70 to 20.07 days for males. The minimum mean of developmental time of females and males was on walnut, almond and apple pollens and the maximum mean of it was on pear pollen. The mean of longevity varied among the treatments from 17.45 to 31.26 days for the females and 18.23 to 31.44 days for the male insects. The maximum mean longevity was on apricot and almond pollens for females and it had maximum amount on apricot and walnut for males. The minimum mean of longevity of females and males was on pear pollen. Also the maximum means of daily and total fecundity (0.73 and 9.60 eggs/female) were on apple and walnut pollens. The minimum amount of these means was on pear pollen. According to these results, almond and walnut pollens were the most suitable diet for T. bagdasarjani as compared to the other pollens. Among diets, pear pollen had least desirability and nutritional value for the mite.  Manuscript profile

According to some thinkers, political culture is a function of conditions, including economic, social, and cultural supports. The present study deals with such presumption as the effectiveness of the cultural-economic capital in the political culture’s enhancement in Shiraz. The study method and the data collection method are respectively exploratory and survey. Use has been made of multistep cluster sampling herein. The survey was conducted on 382 individuals who had been born before the 1980s and 382 individuals who had been born after the 1980s. the study instrument is SPSS Software. The study findings and results indicated that there is a significant relationship between the cultural capital and economic capital of the two generations. Moreover, various types of political culture significantly differ between the two generations. Furthermore, there was found a negative and significant difference between cultural-economic capital and limited and subordinate political culture amongst the two generations. On the other hand, the corroboration of the cultural-economic capital brings about growth and blossoming in the participatory political culture between the two generations as evidenced in the hypotheses tests.                                                                                                    Manuscript profile

The study itself with a quantitative method but data with technique of realized questionnaire were gathered. Statistical population included people 15 to 34 years old of both genders located in different neighborhoods of Sanandaj of whom 250 people were elected through combined sampling methods. The consequences of the study revealed that the young generation in Sanandaj have got significant democratic political culture characteristics. Although based on the results, they support gender equality, but in term of political comprehension and interests which is one of the characteristics for democratic political culture a low score has been obtained, but they are participatory in the term of civil and collective life. Another findings of the study that should be highly considered is the low rate of political reliability of young people that If it is not examined, it could be a serious alarm for the legitimacy of the future political system. Based on the consequences, the political culture of the young people has passed the process of change, in other words, while it is the representation of democratic political culture, it blurts an amalgamation of indifferent an pragmatic cultures.

        One of the bank contracts which is significant in both allocation and equipping of sources is limited partnership contract. The agent in this contract is considered as trustee and his claim on termination of stock without being excess or negligent is accepted. He would be agent‘s associate in both benefits and losses. Therefore this contract won’t have an economic justification in banking operations, so in order to keep limited partnership contract in banking contracts and also put the liability of stock on the agent, the Islamic researchers have suggested some solutions like condition of liability to be brought as an implicit alternative contract. However, two aspects are to be considered for validity of condition of liability first, it should not be against the exigency of the contract of liability and second it should not be opposing with Quran and narrations. Although some are arguing about the nullity of condition of liability if it is against the exigency of contract, we will try to review and discuss about that theory based on narrations and approaches of lawyers and Islamic scholars and finally we would suggest a new theory which is called “disaccord of condition of liability with Quran in limited partnership contract”.

        In general, the basis of operation of most fault current limiters is to reduce the short-circuit current by adding a large impedance to the system at the time of the fault. However, fault current limiters differ in the type of impedance and how the impedance adds and removes the system. In this paper, taking into account three different locations for installing fault current limiter in a sample power network, as well as changing the type (inductance or resistance) and its impedance value in an extensive range, the effects of these parameters on the stability of the power system have been investigated and analyzed. The criterion used for the first time in this article by the authors to examine and evaluate the transient stability of the power system is the method of the difference between the accelerating and decelerating area. The basis of this method is based on the equal area criterion. Other issues addressed in this paper are presenting a method for locating and determining the optimal value of fault current limiter impedance to improve the stability of the power system. Also, the effect of fault clearing time on transient stability has been studied when the fault current limiter is present in the power grid. Manuscript profile

        مقدمه و هدف: کنهTetranychus urticae ‎‏ یکی از مهمترین آفات محصولات زراعی، گیاهان زینتی و گیاهان گل­خانه ای در جهان است ‏که به 900 گونه گیاهی خسارت می زند. مقاومت در برابر حشره کش ها و کنه کش ها تحقیقات را به سمت تولید یک روش ‏جدید برای کنترل این آفات هدایت می کند. حشره کش های گیاهی گروه مهمی از تولیدات طبیعی هستند که معمولاً در ‏مقایسه با حشره کش های مرسوم برای محیط و بشر ضرر کمتری دارند. عصاره زیتون تلخ دارای اثرات حشره کشی ‏و ضد تغذیه ای است. در مطالعه­ی حاضر اثر عصاره اتانولی دانه این گیاهM. ‎azedarach ‎‏ بر تفریخ تخم (زمان و درصد تفریخ) و تخم گذاری‎ ‎کنه تارتن در شرایط آزمایشگاه بررسی شد.   روش تحقیق: تیمارها شامل تیمار عصاره­ی اتانولی گیاهی (‏mg/ml ‏36) و تیمار کنترل با اتانول 95 درصد بود.‏‎ ‎اثر زیر کشنده عصاره ‏گیاهی با استفاده از روش ‏‎ Spraying bioassay‏تعیین شد. نتایج و بحث: در مرحله تخم بعد از استفاده عصاره طول دوران جنینی به طور معنی داری طولانی تر از شاهد بود؛ به ترتیب با میانگین± خطای استاندارد 05/0±24/5 و0/04±4/85 روز. هم­چنین درصد تفریخ تخم کنه در تیمار شاهد بیشتر از تیمار عصاره گیاهی بود. عصاره اتانولی گیاهی روی رفتار تخم ریزی کنه تارتن اثرات زیان­بار قابل ملاحظه ای دارد. به­طوری­که در طول 4 روز آزمایش، میانگین±خطای استاندارد کل تخم ریزی کنه در این مدت به ترتیب در تیمار عصاره گیاهی و شاهد معادل 65/0±95/2 و 33/1±17/12 برآورد گردید. توصیه کاربردی/صنعتی: با توجه به این نتایج می­توان عصاره اتانولی دانه زیتون تلخ را به عنوان یک جایگزین برای سموم رایج مصنوعی علیه این آفت معرفی کرد. البته لازم به توجه است که جهت استفاده از این ترکیب گیاهی و فرموله کردن آن نیاز به بررسی های علمی بیشتری در سطوح بیوشیمیایی و فن آوری می­باشد.

        The rock dove with its grayish blue body is one of the most familiar birds in Iran. Due to the power of flight and life, it can release various types of infectious agents such as worm, protozoa and parasitic epidemics. Four pieces of rock dove were referred to veterinary clinic in 1394 and examined for identification of external parasites. After isolating the parasites, they were prepared for accurate detection of samples and identified using valid diagnostic keys, the species Megninia cubitalis was reported for the first time from the rock dove. This mite has no respiratory vent and legs ending up with short stems. These mites are found on birds that cause them to fall. Megninia Cubitalis is an Analgidae of the family, which is considered to be a full-bodied mite. Considering that this parasite was first reported, further studies are needed to prevent other domestic birds and livestock from occurring and parasitic epidemics and also we tried to help the organization and the environmental organization and the veterinary organization to promote these goals in order to protect the environment and rare species of animals in Iran.

        Ticks are one of the most important obligate and external blood-feeding parasites of terrestrial vertebrates. This terminus can harm its host by sucking blood and transmits many pathogenic organisms that cause animal and human diseases. To carry out this study, 434 ticks were collected from 2360 sheep and 123 cows from villages around Durood city. The samples were taken to the laboratory for testing. Because the purpose of the investigation was the cephalus tick, we grouped this tick into 4 groups including male and female groups with different weights. We prepared different dilutions of fuxim and cypermethrin with normal water and exposed each group to these toxins by flotation method. The effect of poison on the larvae of Rhipicephalus sanguineus mite was investigated by the method of preparing a filter bag .Rhipicephalus female tick showed more resistance to cypermethrin poison, therefore, excessive consumption of poisons should be prevented and on the other hand, poisons should be used in combination to prevent tick resistance Manuscript profile

        In aquatic ecosystems, aquatic plants are good biochemical indicators for monitoring heavy metals because they are stagnant in water and can determine contamination levels. This research was conducted in 2018 to investigate heavy metals of cadmium, nickel and vanadium in aquatic plants of straw (Phragmites australis) and Louisiana (Typha latifolia) of Horralzim wetland in Khuzestan province. Sampling was performed from three stations. In order to measure heavy elements was used to measure the induction plasma (ICP). The highest of cadmium in root of Phragmites australis was 1.486±0.020 mg Kg-1 and lowest concentration of this metal in stem of Typha latifolia was 0.036±0.001 mg Kg-1 (P<0.05). The highest of nickel in root of Typha latifolia was 4.770±0.045 mg Kg-1 and lowest concentration of nickel in stem of Phragmites australis was 0.843±0.072 mg Kg-1 (P<0.05). The highest of vanadium in root of Typha latifolia was 16.553±0.128 mg Kg-1 and lowest concentration of vanadium in stem of Phragmites australis was 3.136±0.015 mg Kg-1 (P<0.05).The concentrations of cadmium, nickel and vanadium were obtained in the root of Phragmites australis and Typha latifolia above the leaves and stems (P<0.05). Cadmium in the roots, stems and leaves of the Phragmites australis was higher than the Typha latifolia, but the amount of nickel and vanadium in the roots, stems and leaves of Typha latifolia were higher than Phragmites australis (P<0.05).

        In this work, the effects of the nano-aluminum additive and mixing process on the thermal behavior of Al/CuO systems were verified by thermal analysis and field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM( methods. The DSC analysis results showed that there was no exothermic reaction for μm-Al/nm-CuO thermite mixture. However, the ignition of [μm-Al95%+nm-Al5%]/nm-CuO, [μm-Al80%+nm-Al20%]/nm-CuO, [μm-Al50%+nm-Al50%]/nm-CuO and nm-Al/nm-CuO took place at 600.9, 604.0, 605.5 and 608.4°C, respectively. Analysis of thermal behavior of these mixtures showed that the insensitivity and energy of the thermites increased with increasing quantity of nm-Al in [μm-Al+nm-Al]/nm-CuO formulation. Moreover, ultrasonic mixing decreased ignition temperature and increased heat of reaction of these ternary mixtures. This improvement in thermal properties was related to break up the agglomerates and better mixing quality by ultrasonic waves. In the next step, the reaction kinetics of physically mixed and ultrasonicated nm-Al/nm-CuO were investigated. The results revealed that sonicated nm-Al/nm-CuO thermite had lower activation energies than physically-mixed nm-Al/nm-CuO mixture. In addition, the ignition of ultrasonicated and physically-mixed nm-Al/nm-CuO mixtures occurred in one and two main steps, respectively. Manuscript profile

        Abstract: The automotive industry in Iran and South Korea began simultaneously at a particular time, but the achievements of the two countries are not comparable in this area. Korea was able to make a huge contribution to the global market, but Iran failed to achieve its goals. In this article, we plan to examine the paths that the two countries have taken and examine the barriers to the success of the first and the causes of the success of the latter. For this purpose, we must look at the nature of the political system and, consequently, the economics of the political system and the policies of the two countries. Since the beginning of industrialization, especially in the automotive sector, Iran has always had a limited access system (consistent with Douglas North.) And rarely provided a platform for private sector entry into economic activity and the formation of competition. But South Korea, although initially had a limited access system, gradually shifted from fragile access to the base and then to the mature, and eventually became open access to the political system. The government of Korea, with the right solutions, could provide the necessary space to form a strong private sector in this field and compete Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this research is to identify the effective factors on the debt financing of the financial institutions and banks in the form of the crowdfunding using Fuzzy DEMATEL to propose a model for obtaining the essential conditions for crowdfunding. Debt financing is borrowing money from companies and investors through bonds, banks or financial institutions to support related business activities. The research methodology is fuzzy technique, in which multi-criteria decision method (MADM) is used. The opinions of the experts and interviews with ten related experts and the snowball method have been used to reach the theoretical saturation stage in order to identify the factors affecting the development of crowdfunding model and also open, axial and optional coding has been considered. The results depicted identification of the influential factors in crowdfunding including legalism, culture building, funding, collective communication, e-commerce and trust building. According to the results of the study, it can be concluded that this issue is difficult regardless of the effective factors of crowdfunding to finance debt in financial institutions and banks in order to grow.

        The predatory bug Orius albidipennis is one of the most important biological control agents of some orchard, cultivated and ornamental crop pests in Iran. Therefore, determination of its biological characteristics is important. In this research, life table and population parameters of O. albidipennis were investigated in a growth chamber at temperature of    25±1ºC, 65± 10% relative humidity and a photoperiod of 14:10 (L:D) hours on different developmental stages of Tetranychus urticae. The experiment was carried out using 100 one day old eggs of O. albidipennis and mortality of different developmental stages was estimated daily. The results indicated that age specific mortality of O. albidipennis on different developmental stages of two-spotted spider mite was started from 4th day and increased gradually with regular fluctuations. Life expectancy was increased after emerging of nymphs and then was decreased regularly. Life expectancy was estimated 12.97 and 18.86 days in nymph and adult emerging time, respectively. The gross fecundity rate, gross fertility rate and gross hatch were determined 76.45±0.42, 60.12±2.29 and 0.79, respectively. The mean numbers of eggs per female per day was estimated 4.25 eggs.

        The performance of Pacific white shrimp broodstocks is affected by several factors including different environmental conditions, feeding type, size, and the cultivation site. In the present study, two different reproduction systems were used to investigate the reproductive performance of Pacific white shrimp broodstocks: conventional (water exchange) and limited water exchange Female broodstocks having an average weight of 38.6 ± 6.8g were obtained from Chabahar Reproduction Center located in Konarak and experimented in 2000-liter tanks. Two treatments in three replications in a completely randomized design were considered for the current research, including: control group (conventional rearing system) in which 90% of the water was replaced and limited water exchange treatment in which 2 to 3% of the water was exchanged daily. The results of this study showed no significant difference in the growth performance of broodstocks between two cultivation systems (p > 0.05), but the survival rate in the limited water exchange system were measured higher (97.57%). Moreover, the number of eggs in each spawning stage for shrimps under conventional farming system and limited water exchange 47,500 and 60,800 were obtained, respectively, a significant difference (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the number of shrimp eggs in each spawning stage varied significantly in the conventional system and in the limited water exchange treatment, with 49,300 and 60,800 eggs, respectively (p <0.05). A higher number of eggs converted to nauplius by the limited water exchange system than by the conventional system. In general, this study found that the reproductive performance of Pacific white shrimp broodstocks in the system with limited exchange of water is better than the conventional system.

In order to investigate the semi-mass breeding methods of the predatory mite, different diets including different biological stages of three storage mite species Tyrophagus putrescentiae, Tyrolichus casei and (Acari: Acaridae) Rhizoglyphus robini and different plant pollens (corn and date pollen) were used in rearing containers on wet sponge. Storage mites fed with wheat bran, yeast and corn pollen. The number of predatory mites counted one, two, three and four weeks later. It was more suitable to use larger containers for predatory rearing. Among the three prey species used, the storage mite T. putrescentiae provided better food for the predatory mite, so in the fourth count, the number of mites reached 17.12. Corn pollen is the best option for predatory mites due to the presence of compounds that are more nutritious and the simplicity of its preparation. Increasing the amount of pollen or bran containing storage mites did not affect the increase in the number of predatory mites. T. putrescentia storage mite along with wheat bran, yeast and corn pollen are recommended in breeding this predator. Manuscript profile

        The dimensionless Nusselt number is one of the important parameters in convection heat transfer, which can be considered as a measure of the heat transferred from the body through convection. In heat transfer, the Nusselt number indicates the rate of displacement heat transfer to conductive heat transfer. When heat transfer occurs only through conduction, it is called conduction limit, and its calculation is particularly important in the industry. This research uses a panel numerical method to calculate the conductivity limit for two-sided and one-side active plates for square, circular and triangular cases. Finally, by comparing all the results, the performance of panel numerical method for calculating the conductivity limit was confirmed. Manuscript profile
