        This study conducted to investigate usability of soya stalk as lignocellulosic material and wood alternative in particleboard manufacturing. Four levels of soya stalk (25, 50, 75, and 100%), 3 level of press time (5, 6, and 7 min), and the content of resin in 3 levels (8, 10, and 12%) were considered as dependent variables. Results showed that bending properties (MOR and MOE) were enhanced by increasing soya stalk content in boards, while internal bonding (IB) property decreased. However, water uptake and thickness swelling after 2 and 24 immersions were increased. With increasing in resin content and press time, both mechanical and physical properties including bonding properties, internal bonding properties, water uptake and thickness swelling were suppressed. The results showed that soya stalk is a suitable wood alternative in particleboard manufacturing. Manuscript profile

        Non-scientific and unconscious changes in land use have negative impacts on ‎the soil physical and chemical properties. In this research, the effect of land use ‎changes on some soil physical and chemical properties was investigated. For this propose, three sites in three ‎‎‎adjacent land use ‎types including pasture, forest and‏ ‏agricultural‏ ‏lands were randomly selected in region of Baneh, ‎‎‎‎‎Kurdistan ‎province. Disturbed and undisturbed soil samples were collected from three sites at each of the different land use types from depths of 0–15 and 15–30 cm ‎and were analysed in the laboratory‎. The results indicated that land use changes have no significant effects on the percentage of sand, silt and clay. Change in the land use type caused increase in bulk density and decrease in total porosity, soil hydraulic conductivity and aggregate stability. The ‎most percentage of coarse aggregates (0.25-8 mm) and fine aggregates (0.053-0.25 mm) was found in forest ‎and ‎agricultural land, respectively. Land use change caused increase in electrical conductivity and ‎soil reaction which increases with depth too. The results also indicated that land use change significantly decreases the amount of soil organic carbon. The average of soil organic carbon in forest, agricultural land and pastures were 4.99, 2.26 and 1.79%, respectively. In general, the results of this research showed that changes in land use has adverse effects on the soil physical and chemical properties that can result in reducing soil quality and increasing its degradation.

        Recently, biochar has been considered as a soil conditioner. In research, the effect of the type and amount of biochar on soil properties has been emphasized. This field study was conducted to investigate the combined effect of type, amount and size of biochar particles on the total porosity (TP), penetration resistance (PR), mean weight diameter of aggregates (MWD) in a sandy loam texture. Factorial experiment was performed as a randomized complete block design with three factors of type, amount and biochar particle size in three replications. Wheat straw, vermicompost and apricot firewood biochard were added to the soil in 0.5, 1.5 and 3% and particle sizes of 0.5, 0.5-1 and 1-2 mm. All three biochar increased TP significantly and decreased PR significantly compared to control. Biochar type had the largest contribution in TP and PR changes. The highest TP was obtained in the wheat straw biochar treatment with 3% and particle size of 1-2 mm. The greatest decrease in PR was observed in wheat straw biochar with a value of 3% and a particle size of 0.5-1 mm. Interaction of type, amount and size of biochar particles had the largest contribution to MWD change. The largest MWD (1.22 mm) was observed in wheat straw biochar with biochar amount of 0.5% and particle size of 0.5 mm. The results showed that the amount and size of biochar particles had different effects on soil properties depending on the type of biochar. Manuscript profile

        Investigation on physical characteristics of suspended sediment is an important subject in river studies. The particle size distribution of the suspended sediment is one of these physical properties represents important links between sources and fluvial mechanisms in the watersheds. However, limited studies have been conducted in field of suspended sediment particle size distribution. The present study therefore aimed to investigate the particle size distribution of suspended sediments in Kojour River within the period of one year. Toward this attempt, 24 suspended sediment samples were collected at intervals of some 15 days. The particle size distribution was determined after necessary preparations by laser scattering particle size of HORIBA LA-950. The results showed that the suspended sediment diameter were in the range of 0.82 to 353.55 microns during time of sampling and in different conditions. Also, the silt particles with partial contribution of 97.68 % had the largest contribution in the suspended sediment load. In addition, the results indicated that the precipitation and sand harvesting plays an important role in increasing the coarse particles of suspended sediment load.   Manuscript profile

        Introduction: Citrus fruits have different characteristics and properties consisting of physicochemical characteristics and antioxidant potential. In this study physical, quantitative and qualitative characteristic and bioactive components of four citrus varieties in the north part of Iran are studied for their possible use in the fruit juice and concentrate processing factories. Materials and Methods: Some characteristics and properties consisting of fruit length, diameter, spherical coefficient, volume, peel thickness, pulp percentage, juice percentage, TSS, sugar, TA, ascorbic acid, total phenolics and anti-oxidant capacity were determined according to the defined standard methods. Results: The results showed that fruits were different in shape. The highest and lowest length and volume have been found in Thomson orange and Unshiu mandarin respectively. Siavaraz orange and Unshiu mandarin had the maximum and minimum spherical coefficient (0.97 and 0.91) respectively. The Thomson orange with highest peel thickness (4.82 mm) and pulp (9.53%) had the lowest percent juice extracted in the Laboratory (31.15%) and in the production line (26.78%). There was the highest amount of total sugar and TA in Unshiu mandarin (9.19 g.g-100) and Siavaraz orange (1.85 g.g-100) respectively. Considering the bioactive compounds, the results revealed that there was the highest concentration of ascorbic acid and total phenolic compounds in Siavaraz orange (58.3 mg.g-100) and moro Blood orange (55.25mg.g-100) respectively. Furthermore, there were a positive correlation between the antioxidant activity and ascorbic acid (R2= 0.91) and total phenolic compounds (R2= 0.71). The lowest antioxidant capacity was related to Unshiu mandarin with 38/19%. Conclusion: Thomson orange was not a suitable variety for juice production due to high peel thickness and pulp, low juice percentage and also bitter taste after juice extraction. Inversely, Siavaraz orange had more industrial indices including high juice percentage, balance pulp and the highest spherical coefficient. Unshiu mandarin and Moro (Blood orange) might be consumed as fresh or be used for industrial juice extraction. Manuscript profile

        Biodiesel is Alkyl Ester of fatty Acids that is produced from vegetable oils or animal fats. Biodiesel compared with diesel fbel contains less sulftir and aromatic compounds, and includes 10% oxygen in its molecular construction which results decreasing in exhaust emission pollutants of diesel engine. In this research biodiesel is produced from waste cooking oil by means ofTrans Esterification method in the presence ofNaOH catalyzes (0.5 % oil weight) and 6:1 of methanoi to oil ratio. For improving some physical properties of biodiesel, such as cloud point and pour point crystallization of ester with n-hexane solvent was used. Some blends with different levels of biodiesel and diesel fuel were obtained from each kind of blend fuel. Physical properties identified and compared to diesel fuel #2. Conclusions show: increasing of biodiesel percent in blend resulted increasing of density and viscosity. High percent of biodiesel in blends, has negative effect on cloud point and pour point, and so compared with diesel fuel, causes increasing these two properties. Manuscript profile

        In recent years, Polymer Optical Fibers (POFS) have been widely used for short-distance communication connections and various estimation applications due to their amplifying properties, large core diameter and high numerical aperture. Be that coplagenuria has made them comfortable. Dispersion is one of the issues that affects the performance of polymer optical fibers and affects and limits the maximum transmission distance and information transfer capacity. For this reason, the study of the phenomenon of scattering in these fibers has become widespread today. In this paper, the scattering of light intensity is measured, and the far and near field patterns, ie for Field and near Field, are obtained for this light scattering, and simulations are performed using a precise computational model based on the wave tracking method. And the location of the conduction scattering intensity in each polymer optical fiber and the far and near field patterns obtained from the output of these fibers are measured and determined by the simulation results, which is more than the average size of the effective non-uniformities leading to scattering. In optical fibers, they are polymerized at about 200 nm, and these non-uniformities occur at the interface between the core and the shell. Manuscript profile

        Due to high heterogeneity in the land surface properties including variation in the type of surface coverage, varied topography conditions and placement in different geographic locations, investigating the relationship between temperature and net radiation and listed parameters of properties has great importance. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between temperature and net radiation surface with Indexes biophysical properties and land use in the region. For this purpose, LandSat8 satellite image, MODIS water vapor product and digital elevation model map of the city of Sari are used. In order to calculate the surface temperature, single channel algorithm, net radiation from Surface energy balance algorithm for land (SEBAL) mountain algorithm and the extraction of different surface properties from Tasselled cap transformation (TCT) Indexes were used. also, the combination of Maximum likelihood classification methods and decision tree are utilized to classify Image. Net radiation has a direct relationship with Normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), Greenness and Wetness parameters and inverse relationship with mean correlation coefficient 0.8 with NDBI, Albedo, Brightness and surface temperature parameters. In this study, the correlation coefficient of relationship between Wetness, Greenness and Brightness indicators and net radiation surface is 0.94. The Built up lands with an average 600.38  have the lowest net radiation and forest lands with an average 759.5  have the highest net radiation flux in the region. The results show that using remote sensing data and considering the TCT parameters related to biophysical properties of surface are very useful to assess the temperature and net radiation of the region.

        As the use of wood plastic composites (WPC) in various industries has increased significantly and due to the high importance of environmental issues in industry and research and the fact that products made of petroleum polymers have too little biodegradability, it is important to conduct research to improve and solve this environmental problem. Due to the high amount of volatile nitrogen, low quality fish powder is not used in the industry, and as a result, it can be use as cheap and biodegradable filler in wood plastic. In this research, the effect of fish powder amount, substrate type, and coupling agent (MAPE) amount on the physical characteristics of wood-plastic composite was investigated. The results showed that by increasing fish powder amount and decreasing coupling agent amount, the highest amount of degradability is obtained. Manuscript profile

        Soil is one of the most important parts of the renewable natural resources, which is damaged by cutting down the trees. If this valuable resource is not protected, the output of it is reduced and the life of mankind and plants are endangered. Soil conservation is a crucial issue and understanding how it is influenced by different factors is of utmost importance in agroforestry systems. The efficiency of agroforestry systems for regulating soil erosion can be increased in response to the similarities between these systems to the natural forest concerning the litter frequency, distance and height of trees. This study was conducted to determine the best agroforestry systems in respect to erodibility along with soil conservation. The results of this investigation comprise diverse aspects. The two important aspects of this study include (1) identification and recording the number of systems, operations and agroforestry technologies present in the area and (2) exploring the soil condition of agroforestry systems, available in the area as well as conserving the soil in these systems. Regarding the literature reviews, 3 factors were evaluated to determine the erodibility or non-erodibility of agroforestry systems (texture, porosity and soil gravimetric moisture percent). As expected, the results of this investigation revealed that trees were appropriate candidates for soil conservation and reclamation in terms of erodibility in relation to other systems in this region.     Manuscript profile

        Boron carbide because of properties such as high hardness, high Young's modulus and low density is highly regarded, however due to difficulties in sintering ability, low fracture toughness and low oxidation resistance at temperatures greater than 1000 ° C, its application is limited relatively. Obtaining a high-density boron carbide by conventional methods is very difficult and costly because of the high melting point, covalently bonded, its low self-diffusion and high vapor pressure. Many of researches have been done to improve the sintering condition by different methods and using various kinds of sintering aids. It is often observed that small amounts of oxides have been more effective on sintering improvement of non-oxidizing ceramics. In this paper, the effect of different oxidizing sintering aids has been reported on sintering behavior and mechanical properties of boron carbide. Manuscript profile
