        Background and Aim: Land surface temperature (LST) is a key boundary condition in many ground-based modeling schemes based on remote sensing. Previous literature has shown that LST products from satellite imagery can be used to detect land surface changes, including urbanization, deforestation and desertification, which can improve our ability to monitor surface changes continuously. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the results of DisTRAD and TsHARP thermal sharpening methods to downscale the spatial resolution of MODIS LST from 1000 m to 250 m.Method: The research method in the present article is applied in terms of purpose and based on correlation relations in terms of method of work.Results: The performance of DisTRAD and TsHARP thermal downscaling methods were evaluated by the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and the Mean Bias Error (MBE) between the downscaled and original LSTs. Statistical analysis showed that the RMSE between the downscaled images of DisTRAD and TsHARP methods with the original LST (1000 m (terra)) for 3 May 2019 were found to be 1.77 ° C and 1.7 ° C, respectively, whereas the R2 were found to be about 53% and for 17 October 2019, the RMSE were found to be 2.44 ° C and 2.38 ° C respectively, whereas the R2 were found to be about 85%.Conclusion: The study of the results of Terra and Aqua satellites generally shows the superiority of Terra satellite results over Aqua. The main reason could be the different passage times of the satellites from the study area. Since that changes in soil moisture and water body such as the Karun River are common sources of error, so the use of these methods is recommended only in areas without excessive changes in moisture.

        The aim of this study was to evaluate awareness, attitude and action of Amirkabir University of Technology (AUT) students on general aspects of environment. A questionnaire was designed and 75 students were asked to fill it. The results of this research showed that environmental issues are the last option of the students in compared with the other issues. The obtained results also showed that knowledge of the mechanical engineering department students on general aspects of environment were relatively higher. It is nessecary to improve level of general environmental knowledge of university students in Iran. For example, a course of “environmental science and technology” is suggested to be set as a part of every academic curriculum. Manuscript profile

        In Qajar era, due to the lack of mass media on one hand and the expansion of the general level of literacy on the other hand caused the situation of people from different classes (kings and princes, scholars and clerics, open-minded educated people, poets and writers and even the common people) to be proposed, rather, many of the current issues to be mentioned in the letters, which have been less considered in official and administrative correspondence due to security and secret issues. This period, while from a historical point of view, Persian prose has been transitioning from artificial prose to technical prose; from a cultural and social point of view, correspondence was freed from the monopoly of kings, ministers, writers and people of grace, and the general public also tended to correspondence. This research tries to investigate the role and status of letters and correspondence in Persian prose by identifying the type of writing, terms and literary interpretations used and the ideas and themes of the types of letters left from the Qajar era.

        In this paper, using SGR (Site Groundwater Rating) method, 11 km of Amirkabir tunnel has been studied and categorized into quantitative and qualitative classes from groundwater hazard point of view. Considered parameters in this method are: joint frequency, joint aperture, karstification, crashed zone, schistosity, and head of water above tunnel, soil permeability and annual raining. Using SGR method, tunnel site can be categorized into six different classes from no risk to critical. According to this classification more than 60% of Amirkabir tunnel has been located in no risk class and results are compatible with the results of analytical method. Furthermore, approximately 5% of tunnel has been found in critical class that mostly coincides on crashed zones and following analytical method results, inflow rate is 0.46 L/sec/m in this portion of tunnel.

        Challenges of the old political system against the new discipline on the eve of the 19 th century and the resulted crises made the Iranian political elites and intellectuals take note of the necessity of reflection on this issue and the means to withdraw from status quo. plenty of ways and means were suggested in the world of thought and in the practical field, too, to get out of this situation. In the meantime, the desire to adjust power was one of the major solutions provided by the elite to make the old discipline effective and prepare it to face the modern discipline. The Qajar elite performed enormous major reformatory efforts in the pre_constitutional period to adjust the ruling political power. Abas Mirza was the pioneer of these efforts and Qa'em maqam Farahani was regarded as the agent to stabilize them. In the meantime, Mirza taqi Khan Farahani Amir kabir was the main and eminent representative of the ideal of power adjustment. Manuscript profile

        Tourism towns, as a special type of human endeavor in recent years to integrate accommodation and leisure, have created a new need in the field of urban planning theory and practice. In the typology of planning, there is still no general consensus on the classification of this particular type, so in this paper we will try to examine the theories proposed in general and urban planning and tourism in particular, to a theoretical approach in relation to the theory of tourism town planning. On the other hand, by prioritizing physical and social issues in tourism towns, due to the relationship between urban body and community, using a research context of such cases in cities, efforts have been made to orient the general direction towards "physical social planning» of tourism towns. In order to establish the connection between the urban body and social relations in tourist settlements, the process of transforming the feeling of environment into social action in the physical environment has been studied. Finally, by extrapolating Amirkabir tourism town in Arak, the research findings regarding the relationship between the formed body and the sampled community were studied. In order to organize this research, which is of a fundamental type and has been done with the aim of explaining the executive solutions, the "descriptive-analytical" method has been used along with the collection of library information. Finally, the information collected was "comparatively" measured using the researcher's "participatory observation." Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this research is to present a - public administration model based on the conceptual model of Amirkabir governance. The conceptual model of Amirkabir governance based on the method of documentary research and by analyzing the content of a category focusing on the study of first-hand books and texts and analytical sources that have criticized the actions of Amirkabir; It has been obtained in the form of exploratory and inductive design. The model obtained by Delphi technique and survey of experts through a researcher-made questionnaire is evaluated qualitatively and finally the government management model is obtained. Quantitative evaluation and model testing were also done through a questionnaire from the Delphi section using structural equation modeling. The statistical population in the Delphi department was 12 university professors in the field of public administration and history in the quantitative department were 278 public administrators who were selected based on purposive sampling. The 5-level model of public management has 46 items, 21 categories, 11 themes and 6 dimensions, including economic, bureaucratic, political, educational-cultural, protective, and social measures, and 1 main axis - public management - has reached the consensus of experts in terms of appropriateness and composition of factors. And their importance and weight have been determined; And shows that the conceptual model of Amirkabir governance has the necessary characteristics to become a model of public administration that is consistent with the cultural-political and social conditions of Iran and can be used by - public administrator to manage public affairs.

        Purpose: The present research aimed to investigate the librarians’ role in information seeking behavior of students of Amirkabir University. Methodology: The methodology was descriptive survey using a questionnaire and the reliability of which was measured 0.89 based on Cronbach’s alpha. Questionnaires were analyzed using SPSS software (version 16). Descriptive statistics techniques were applied. Findings: The results revealed that students most important goal when searching for data was to find information for their projects and they used both official and non-official methods for searching information. The books and personal experiences were the most important official and non-official sources for getting information respectively. The Science Direct database ranked first (86.3%) as the most used electronic database by the students while ISI (web of knowledge), Springer, ProQuest and Scopus ranked 2nd to 5th respectively. Methods of students’ retrieval of information were consulting by friends and faculty members, making errors & using experience, training courses in libraries and finally seeking advice of librarians. Conclusion: The main obstacles of easy access to information were low speed of the networks and problems of connections, lack of  enough English language knowledge, the interruption of universities subscription for electronic databases, lack of enough up to date sources in library and not using special resources by students.   Manuscript profile
