Considering the national nature of the multi-purpose forestry plan and the allocation of the national budget to it, the present study was conducted with the aim of quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the implementation of the plan in Khuzestan province. In this study, some parts of the forests under the management of the plan in Izeh, Andimeshk, Baghmalek and Indika were selected. At first, the multi-purpose forestry plan was defined based on the law on the protection and utilization of forests in the form of three goals of protection, restoration, and development and, of course, increasing the income of foresters, and all executive projects were included in these goals. To analyze the quantitative data, a one-way analysis of variance and Duncan's multiple-range mean comparison test were used to compare the means of the variables. Qualitative data and data differences between different studied areas were also analyzed using the non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test. Based on the results of this study, it was found that in Khuzestan province in terms of quantity and quality of the plan implementation, Izeh area had the best performance, and Indika, Baghmalek and Andimeshk areas were in the next rank. The results also showed that the goals in the form of protection of Zagros forests are at the highest quantitative and qualitative levels. Forest development and rehabilitation are the second priority and the least planning to increase the income of forest dwellers and reduce their dependence on forests. Therefore, it cannot be expected that the executive projects within multi-use forestry plan of Zagros forests will succeed without changing the income level of foresters and the natives of the region will have maximum cooperation in advancing the goals of the plan with the government.

This research seeks to discover the connection between closing the street on cars and the change in the traffic volume of automobiles in peripheral routes over time.Method: This applied research has been done by collecting theoretical information through documentary studies and local investigations using observation and interview method and is a descriptive-analytic research. The case study is 15th Khordad walkable street in Tehran.Findins: By evaluating differences in traffic volumes in 2011, 2014 and 2016 with SPSS software and based on One- Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), there was a significant difference in the average traffic volume of the vehicles in the study area and rejects the hypothesis of increasing the traffic volume of motor vehicles in the periphery area of 15th Khordad. Numerical calculations show that 15.7% of traffic jams over a three-year period, and 20.7% over a five-year period in the surrounding routes disappeared after creating 15th Khordad walkable street because of changing in citizens direction and travel time and using of multi-modal trips by business-men.Discussion & Conclusion: Therefore, it seems that a paradigm shift among urban managers about traffic effects transmission of creating walkable street to periphery areas is necessary.

In this paper, using multivariate analysis of variance and multivariate regression, the data related to the thermal conductivity of nanofluids have been analyzed and the results of the two methods have been compared. A two-step method was used to prepare ethylene glycol-magnesium oxide nanofluid. In order to prepare the nanofluid by suspending the nanoparticles in the base fluid, an ultrasonic homogenizer was used. For this purpose, nanoparticles with diameters of 20, 50, and 100 nm in volume fractions of 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, and 1.25% have been used at temperatures of 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50 degrees Celsius. Transient hot wire method was used to measure thermal conductivity in different volume fractions. Then the obtained experimental values were analyzed using SPSS.26 software. The coefficient of determination and the graphs of the errors obtained in the two methods showed that when the independent variables are defined as grouped, the use of multivariate analysis of variance can better describe the dispersion of the thermal conductivity.

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

The purpose of this study is to measure and evaluate the dimensions of vitality in various public spaces of Tabriz metropolis. This research is applied in nature and descriptive-analytical in terms of method. Assessment tools were field studies and questionnaires. The statistical population of the study is the users of public spaces in Tabriz; The sample size of the study includes 245 people Which were selected by available sampling method from the visitors of public spaces of Tabriz. Cronbach's alpha coefficient obtained from the reliability of the measuring instrument (./868) was at an acceptable level. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and Friedman test were used to analyze the data. The results of the present study show that except for "cultural vitality", the rate of "social vitality", "economic vitality" and "physical vitality" are significantly different in all three categories of public spaces. Among the public spaces studied, in terms of social vitality, "active public spaces from the past to the present" has the highest rate and "active public spaces in the past" has the lowest rate. In terms of economic vitality, "active public spaces from the past" has the highest rate and "active public spaces in the past" has the lowest rate, and in terms of physical vitality, "active public spaces from the past" has the highest rate and "active public spaces in the past" Has the lowest rate. It can also be said with 99% confidence that the components of vitality including "social vitality", "economic vitality", "cultural vitality" and "physical vitality" are not at the level of equality; So that "physical vitality" has the highest satisfaction and "economic vitality" has the lowest satisfaction in the public spaces of Tabriz. The components of "cultural vitality" and "social vitality" are in the second and third ranks, respectively. Therefore, by strengthening the components related to "economic vitality" and "social vitality", the vitality of public spaces in Tabriz can be significantly increased in order to realize citizenship rights and increase social interactions Manuscript profile -

Development as a multidimensional process, is an effort to improve the material and spiritual life of human beings, and culture, is considered as the foundation of the intellectual and epistemological life of the society. The interrelationships of the two enable the growth of human abilities. Cultural development is considered as the foundation of sustainable development. Therefore, urban development will be dynamic when it is closely related to cultural development and in fact an integral part of it. The purpose of this article is to investigate how the four regions of Urmia enjoy cultural terms in order to achieve regional inequalities. According to the studied components, the approach of this research is "descriptive-quantitative and analytical". The statistical population of the study includes the four regions of Urmia, which were used to analyze the research data using ANOVA, Independent- samples T test, Tukey HSD and Gama fuzzy operator in the ArcGIS software. The results show that the districts 3 and 4 in Urmia with means of 38/24 and 8.24 as well as options are better developed than other districts. Also zone 1 and 2 are known as backward regions in terms of cultural development with means of 21/46 and 22/47. Of course, this applies to the operator for more details on Gama 0/7, which all indicate the existence of regional inequalities in Urmia. Manuscript profile -

The research presented with Taguchi experiment design approach which is based on L9 orthogonal array and iterative surface technique. The input parameters of these experiments include voltage (two levels), current intensity (three levels), pulse on-time (three levels) and pulse off-time (three levels). Experiments results show machined surface roughness reduction in presence of magnetic field up to 32 percent. The analysis of the results included the determination of signal-to-noise ratio diagrams corresponding to each of the input parameters and analysis of variance by Minitab software. The results show that the surface quality of the workpiece improves in the presence of a magnetic field compared to machining conditions without a magnetic field. Also, based on the results of analysis of variance in both cases, the current intensity is the most effective input parameter on the surface roughness of the workpiece made of A413 composite reinforced with 2.5% Al2O3.
