Abstract: Besides all their concern for advocacy of justice, Judges and attorneys in each scientific or moral levels are fallible and it is always possible that they give intentionally or unintentionally an erroneous judgment that would result in causing damages. Many different factors interfere in giving an erroneous judgment and the liability of each one is realizable by ascertaining the particular regulations: parties to the dispute, the court’s official employees (secretary and archivist) and semi-official employees (office manager), judge, state; because the judgment is a service provided by the state and the person sustaining a loss must be finally recompensed (171st principle of Iran’s constitution) and at last the attorney. In this study by denoting the contour of liability of the first groups we will set about the attorney’s contour of liability and its criteria. By obligating the attorneys’ interference in the claims, the attorneys’ role in giving a judgment has been strengthened and eventually this fact poses the subject of the contour of liability of this class. Verifying the attorney’s liability shows that: 1. the attorney’s contour of liability is entirely depended on the resulted power contour coming from the client. 2. To find an attorney liable some factors are assumed: a) inexpertise and lack of scientific and technic capability for doing the subject-matter of the proceeding. b) Attorney’s lack of honesty and truthfulness. d) Delay in meeting an obligation which has a time limit. e) Lack of attorney’s confidentiality to the client. 3. Considering that the obligation of attorney is an obligation means, his liability is based on the theory of culpability and is therefore defendable. 4. The attorney’s nonfeasance may injure also the rights of the third persons and this discussion has also its hypotheses. Aim of posing this subject is Verifying the contour which finds an attorney liable or exculpates him in giving an erroneous judgment and protecting this contour to prevent aggression to the attorney’s rights and necessity of the preparing and specifying the attorneys’ professional moral codes towards the client and judge and the insurance coverage of the attorneys’ liability against the client.

Abstract: The current study has been conducted in order to study the difference effect of two types of positive and negative reinforcement on recycling learning in high school male students. Thus 36 male subjects, who were educating in first grade of high school during the school year 2010-11, were chosen (by available sampling method) and were randomly classified into two groups. Recycling training with positive reinforcement was provided in a group and recycling training with negative reinforcement was provided in other group. After seven training sessions and in the eighth session, the subjects' learning was measured by researcher-made questionnaire (questionnaire of recycling learning by Taghizadeh-Khajeh-Sian) and subjects' anxiety level by subscale of Dass test anxiety. Results were measured by statistical methods of Student's t and analysis of variance. According to this study, different types of reinforcement have no different effect on learning the recycling (at the significant level 0.1) and providing different types of reinforcement for anxious and low-anxious groups will not lead to different learning of recycling (at the significant level 0.1).

Abstract- A Discrete time sliding mode controller based on Fast output sampling(DSMCFOS) via reduced order model is designed to manipulate the power levels of ultrasound transducer in the presence of blood perfusion variation to achieve controlled effective hyperthermia. A tumor layer surrounded by muscle layer is modeled by bio heat transfer equation and solved using finite difference method., Uncertainty in blood perfusion in tumor tissue model during the course of cancer treatment is considered,to prove the robustness of sliding mode controller to parametric variation. Further since the algorithm is based on output feedback only the system output and past control inputs are used to implement the control law and state estimators are unnecessary. Designed fourth order controller is used to control 131 order system using aggregation matrix. Performance of the controller is assessed by framing a desired trajectory which meets the goals of on line hyperthermia feedback control system. The closed loop error norm and the open loop error norm for varying blood perfusion are validated. Simulations proved that the designed controller is effective and gives a much lower error norm numerically ranging from 0.3294 to 1.0043.

Abstract: Presented models in the capital markets, confirm a positive linear relationship between systematic risks and revenue of capital assets. With respect to one of these models (CAPM), in addition to systematic risk, we also examine the linear relationship between expected revenue and common stock revenue. This research examines the relationship between common stock revenue with expected revenue and systematic risk in the firms accepted in Tehran securities exchange (2007 – 2011) to study Capital market of the country and provide information for better decision-making of investors. Accordingly, the accepted firms in Tehran security exchange were 284 units at the beginning of 2006. Based on Cochran Formula, we choose 72 units of these companies as our sample. We collect the required information for testing hypothesis, and then research variables including the revenue of common stock (dependent variable) and expected revenue, systematic risk (dependent variables) and also the revenue of market were calculated. At the end, for testing hypothesis we examine the existence of the aforementioned relationships through regression analysis; then by calculating Pierson’s correlation coefficient and coefficient of determination we examine the kind and intensity of these relationships. Research findings indicate that there is a correlation between the expected revenue and systematic risk with common stock revenue in accepted firms in Tehran securities exchange, and this correlation is very intense in the main test. Therefore, Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is effective and their hypotheses are confirmed.

Abstract: The traditional view of Persian literature as a source of pleasure has given way to examination of their utility. This change of attitude stems from this belief that literature is the reflection of culture, manner, rites, and circumstances of a certain community in a given period. Literature unravels the hidden layers of cultural dimensions and the type of interactions that existed among various strata in a given society. It provides accounts of living styles, religious beliefs, spiritual rites, ethical standards, philosophical views, economic ideology, governance doctrines, and management styles. Such a view entails the reexamination of literature by new and different approaches. This will create opportunities for myriad interdisciplinary research. The objective of this type of research shall be the discovery of patterns that could help problem solving through the development of interdisciplinary cooperation. The knowledge base then available to poets and writers was reflected in their literary works in spite of limitations of various fields in the past. This article is a comparative study of the prose and poetic works of fourth and early fifth centuries AH (Ghaznavi Era) looking for traces of modern management thinking. The objective is to review the management techniques used during the study period as part of the domestication process that is taking place in various scientific fields. This is a minor attempt to substantiate the comprehensiveness of Persian literature and the knowledge base of Persian authors in various fields. This is a wide open area of research requiring the attention of practitioners. This study is a library search conducted by reviewing and taking notes from the existing relevant sources. It examines the artistic presentation of management and leadership theories and responsibilities in Persian literary works. The findings of this study revealed different aspects of modern management techniques carefully expressed in form of poetry or prose.

Abstract: The present article aims to evaluate the performance of Elmi-Karbordi universities via data envelopment analysis (DEA) method provide a way for measurement of two technical schools of Imam Ali and Sadoughi in Yazd. Study of non-parametric assessment methods show that choosing measurement method of decision-making unit (DMU) efficiency depends on nature of data (cardinal, ordinal) inside inputs and outputs. In present paper by use of Pearson’s correlation coefficient the coefficients of model were determined and specified inputs and outputs based on two inputs (score of professors and accessible space at university) and one output (number of graduated) were computed with DEAP software. Ranking results of two mentioned schools during 6 consecutive years were determined. According to obtained data and using CCR model (output oriented), 12 assessments were performed with DMU method and DEAP software. The data were computed based on VRS DEA method and in form of output oriented. The results for calculation of deficits and excess values of inputs and outputs are presented in following. Additionally, target value of inputs and outputs of the problem for making efficient of inefficient were computed at the end. Consequently, it was concluded that which DMU in which year gained the first rank and the last rank belongs to which DMU. Meanwhile the rank of other DMU was specified as well.

Abstract: Cylindrical shells are widely used in science and Mechanical Engineering. Due to the small thickness, the stability of the shell against compressive loads is a major concern. To achieve appropriate axial and bending stiffness, and also to prevent premature buckling, generally longitudinal stiffening ring are used. In this paper, the effect of ring enhancement on enhanced nonlinear behavior of cylindrical shells under hydrostatic pressure is investigated. Several types of reinforcement, including reinforcement uniform exterior, interior, and reinforced with uniform linear height distribution have been studied. There was so much pressure on the buckling strength of the shell with a significant increase and in this regard, the strengthening of the linear distribution of height slightly greater increase in pressure created. The maximum displacements and stresses in the crust of the amplifier are reduced considerably. The positive effects would enhance by adding length to thickness ratio increases.

Abstract: Estimates and judgments of management that may affect the quality of financial reporting should be reflected in accruals. Management insights and skills in the proper evaluation of future events are estimated to increase the quality of accruals. The purpose of the present study to elucidate the relationship between functional ability and quality of earnings management of listed companies in Tehran Stock Market. In this study, annual adjustments, accruals quality and earnings persistence, have been used as a measure of earnings quality. The study period of 2005 to 2010 for six years, and the research sample includes 104 firms listed on the stock market. The results showed that the past management ability reduced. In annual adjustments in the current period. This finding is consistent with theoretical research shows that managers with higher ability, lower figures have been adjusted to be in the past period. Also proved that the managers with higher ability to sustain losses reported losses in the tens of companies have helped. This finding is not consistent with the theoretical basis of research and expected that manager with higher capacity, higher accruals quality report. According to the research findings, the relationship between accruals quality management capabilities is reversed. Overall, the results indicate that the strength of corporate profits, quality management, there is a significant relationship and was proven management ability can be used as a factor in the quality of financial reporting is concerned.

Abstract: This research aimed to evaluate the effects of decentralization through the establishment of new provinces on rural development in Iran. In this study, quantitative and qualitative data associated with the new established Qazvin province, as a case study, was used. Regarding quantitative data, we used statistical documents published by Iranian Statistics Center, and for qualitative data a questionnaire was prepared that mainly focused on the economic, social and physical dimensions. The scale used was based on a 5-point Likert-type scale in the shape of Retrospective Panel Design (RPD) using measurements undertaken regarding the effects of the new province on rural areas before and after the its establishment. This survey questionnaire was distributed to 450 households in 45 villages in the study area, and the collected data was analyzed using the Wilcoxon test in the SPSS software. The results show that decentralization through the establishment of this new province significantly has affected a number of economic, social and physical indicators in both rural settlements and rural households. However, it seems that the model and aspect of decentralization that has been implemented in this case is, in reality, deconcentration.

Abstract: This study aims to diagnose breast cancer by appropriately accurate data mining on Mammographic Images. In this case, diagnosing a patient with cancer should be initially done followed by predicting malignant candidates, i.e. a single spot (white) on mammographic image; the most optimal results are obtained if error decreases in diagnosing error of diagnosing a patient with cancer. As the cancerous candidates are low about 650 of total 102,000 candidates, balancing data must be initially done to decrease errors. Then, effective variables are identified among 117 variables per candidate (of its nobles) using PGA and Wilcoxon. Finally, decision tree META COST is used to model neural network algorithms. 70% data is used as training data and the rest 30% is used for validation. The model result is based on the surface beneath the function FROC. The error of predicting unhealthy class to healthy is almost 11%. As a patient is with 11 malignant candidates among his candidates, error of diagnosing a patient with cancer as a healthy one is 11% in power of 11 and it will be approximately zero.

Abstract: This article examines the view of Islam on the role and position of ethics in politics. It offers lexical definitions of ethics and politics. It briefly explains the relation of religion and ethics before entering into detailed discussions of the four logical relations between ethics and politics, namely, homogeneity, incongruity, inclusivity, and severability. This paper explains what’s and why's of the relation between ethics and politics based on the existing theories offered by the scholars of both fields. The theories included are: the separation of ethics and politics, adherence of ethics and politics, duality of ethics, and unity of ethics and politics. These theories are examined in details as a pretext to open the substantiated discussions for the political and ethical principles of Islam. Further discussions include Moslem scholars' views and theories of how ethics and politics relate to each other. By extending ethics into politics as subscribed by Islam, this paper concludes that association and agreement between ethics and politics have always been considered throughout the history. Early political scholars believed that politics had significant direct relation with the virtue and purpose of ethics which ensure bliss in life and afterlife. In spite of inverse interpretations offered by some misguided erudite, Islam subscribes to appropriate politics as the proper and expedient governance of social functions based on ethical principles and values. As ethics is flawed without a strong belief in God and God's revelations, a binding association between politics and ethics can guarantee a balanced material and moral progress, driving societies toward the ultimate accomplishments.

Abstract: Scientists of identity area believe that territory and geographical place play an important and significant role among identifying components. Human looks often for its roots in a special place and belongs to a place where its freedom, security, and essential needs and requirements are supplied. Therefore, no one is separated and isolated from time. Identity of any geographical place is consisted of three interwoven factors: (1) Natural specific factor and its apparent form. (2) Visible activities and their functions. (3) Concepts or symbols. There are several concepts, conditions and elements inside each of these three factors which can be combined in indefinite ways and organize a special identity. Identifying each place is special to the place. Places offer an experienced view from the alive, full of concepts, with external outlook world, continuable activities and functions. Thus, they are important source of individual and group identity and create a centrality where deep mental and emotional connections are established among people.

Abstract: Grasping and manipulation of objects, as well as the capability interacting safely with the environment (possibly including also humans), is a fundamental task for a humanoid robot. In order to tackle these issues a great effort has been put for over two decades to develop robot hands or mechanisms emulating the grasping capabilities of a human. However, grasping and manipulation control also rely the availability of suitable contact and force feedback. In this article being inspired by biological samples, we have proceeded to designing and simulating five-fingered robotic hand which has the capability of touch sensing. Thus in this paper, to achieve this goal, the degree of freedom of each fingers has been calculated, Heartenberg- Dynavit parameters' has been exploited. Afterward each fingers as a 3rd series robot has been modeled. Then using Lagrange method we calculated each joint torque and dynamic equation separately and considering non-linear manner of equations we solved them using Newton-Raphson numerical approach. Finally we modeled a robotic hand by using Solid Works and Visual Nastran engineering softwares. Dynamic and kinematic analysis results of this hand including linear and angular acceleration, linear and angular velocity and each finger joint spatial position and Torque in ratio of time was calculated. Moreover each finger movement was simulated in Matlab soft ware and in order to make sure of results, imitating human hand function, we made an experimental model of hand being able to grasp things. Obtained results showed that there is an acceptable accordance among modeling results performed in Nastran software, simulation results performed in Matlab and experimental conclusions.

Abstract: Momentum strategy is a fundamental and highly applicable strategy implemented by analysts, portfolio managers and investors in capital markets. Being inspired by physics and Newton’s first law, momentum strategy involves following market trends. As opposed to the efficient market hypothesis, momentum investment strategy claims that common stock output varies in different time periods. In this regard, using appropriate investment strategies in each situation, investors might achieve an output larger than market output. Assimilation of portfolios in time period and comparing their outputs is an efficient method of testing and assessing strategies outputs. Most studies conducted in Iranian capital market have aimed at assessing momentum strategy in light of portfolio outputs. This study is innovative in that it simultaneously investigates momentum strategy output and assesses the risk of this strategy in the Iranian market for bonds and equities. Momentum strategy portfolio’s risk and output are compared with the average risk and output of Iranian market. In this regard, the financial data of 189 firms involved in the Iranian market for bonds and equities from 1996 to 2000 have been investigated in 3-month, 6-month, 9-month and 12-month time periods. This research finding reveals that the average of monthly risk and output obtained from implementing momentum strategy in 3-month, 6-month, 9-month and 12-month formation and maintenance time periods is significantly higher than the average monthly risk and output of the market portfolios.

Abstract: Conservatism is one of the qualitative characteristics of financial reporting. Also regarding the fact that management uses a less conservative approach strategically, we will study the effect of the size and the experience period of an auditing firm on the conditional and unconditional conservatism in firms accepted in Tehran Stock Exchange. To calculate the conditional and unconditional conservatism we have used models posed by Ball, Shiva Komar, Guili, and Hyne. In this research 90 firms accepted in Tehran Stock Exchange were investigated during the time period between the years 2007 and 2011. To test the hypotheses we have used the linear regression model. The findings of the research show that the size of an auditing firm does not have a meaningful effect on conditional and unconditional conservatism, but the experience of an auditing firm affects conditional and unconditional conservatism meaningfully and positively.

Department of Theology, Tabriz Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tabriz, Iran

 

Abstract: Commanding right and forbidden wrong is a religious and public act and this is originated of internal suggestions indicating the close relation between wisdom and sharia.” commanding right and forbidden wrong” are the terms with different meanings for human and it can be said that “right “is the name of any good attribute and its beauty is accepted by wisdom and sharia. And “Wrong” is any act in the contrary with common right. Maybe right is called this as the nature of human being is familiar with it and wrong is not familiar with the nature of human being. It can be said that any statement obliging a person to an act or requiring him to do it means that the person is ordered to do that act and any statement and act avoiding a person from an act is preventing from it, to be forbidden of it. In Islamic texts, the former is called “command” and the latter is called “forbidden” and the actors of this act are the people who command and forbid. Commanding right and forbidden wrong is the religious responsibility of all people and the person should have the required conditions and take the required measurement. In addition, he should observe the required methods. By reviewing the Quran texts and tradition, the necessity of commanding and forbidden right wrong is obvious. Performing Islamic orders, the security in the communities, Halal wage, and responsibility of people to each other are the requirements of this important issue. But forgetting and the lack of considering this important act will have negative incurable effects. The lack of responsibility against others, deprivation of spiritual salvation and divine mercy, the dominance of the bad people on good people, the divine chastisement is some of the negative effects. This is done via various ways based on personal requirements of the person and speech method is one of the most important methods with various advantages. It is hoped that all human being, namely the Muslims in all over the world consider this issue to use its advantages.

Abstract: Metamaterial is type of material that isn’t in nature and it is manufacture by combination of multi material with together and by combination of their specification, the resulting metamaterial contain negative . One kind of metamaterial is EBG that we use it in our paper and discussion about its effect on microstrip antenna. EBG has a band gap in specific frequency that causes not propagation in this frequency. using EBG in antenna, band gap specification cause reduction in surface field that means side lobe level will decrease. Really in microstrip array surface wave that is propagate in substrate cause side lobe in pattern. Our antenna work at 10 Ghz. After designing the array with 4 element and designing EBG in 10 Ghz, the periodic structure of EBG has been embedded around the antenna. Combination of antenna and EBG led to decrease surface and SLL about 2.5 dB.

Abstract: The first step towards a successful educational staff is to understand the factors that affect the quality of teachers’ activities. Job satisfaction and organizational commitment of teachers is one of the important factors for improving the quality of education, teachers’ occupational success and students’ educational successes; because there is a direct relationship between these factors and their performances. Organizational commitment and job satisfaction are two important factors in predicting and understanding of organizational behavior that help supervisors in the identification of potential problems. The employees of organization are index of superiority of that organization. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between job satisfaction and organizational commitment of teachers with students’ educational success in elementary school in Heris. This research is implemented in descriptive – correlation (survey) method. Population of the study is 147 teachers and 3,604 students, according to Morgan chart the sample consisted of 108 teachers, 60 men and 48 women and 246 students, half male and half female. The teachers and school students were selected randomly. To collect the data two questionnaires were used; Job satisfaction questionnaire and organizational commitment questionnaire. To assess students’ educational success CV and teachers’ passing percentage were used. For data analysis, descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation and…) inferential statistics (correlation coefficient, ratio test, t test, khi 2 test) was used. The results indicate that a significant majority of teachers have high job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Student achievement of this group teachers-based on statistics-is in high level (above 95%). Therefore it can be concluded that the general relationship exists between job satisfactions of teachers and students success.

Abstract: This study aims at the investigation of the exhaustion levels of the special security forces, which carry out special duties demanding special precautions, when doing their job in accordance to their ages, marital status, educational levels, seniorities, the type of the security certificate they had (allowing to carry gun or not), the in-service course they have taken and their perception of their economic situations. The working group of the study was constituted by 139 male security personnel who worked in the football matches in Istanbul in 2012. The personal data were collected from the security personnel by the use of the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). The data obtained were then analyzed using SPSS 16 statistical software. The resulting data were evaluated employing the t-test and one way variance analyses. The data revealed that there were no statistically significant changes between their emotional exhaustion, their depersonalization levels and feeling of personal accomplishment, and their ages, education levels, seniorities and the type of the security certificate the possessed (p>.05). However these features were found to show statistically significant changes according to their marital status and the fact they whether they took an in service course or not (p<.05). There were no differences observed between the depletion of their personal accomplishment feelings and their economic conditions (p>.05), but the emotional exhaustion and their insensitivity levels showed statistically significant correlation with these parameters (p<.05). In conclusion the exhaustion is a prolong process. That is why the managers and the administrators have a vitally important task of being aware of this situation and taking the necessary measures.

Abstract: Tyrosinases are widely distributed in nature. Melanin synthesis in mammals in catalyzed by three enzymes, Tyrosinase (EC 1.14.18.1) and Tyrosinase – related proteins (tyrps) 1 and 2. Tyrosinase is essential enzyme in melanin biosynthesis that catalyses the rate-limiting generation of L-dopa quinone from L- Tyrosine and is also able to oxidize L- dopa to L-dopaquinine. Mutation of Tyrosinase often decreases melanin production resulting in albinism. The availability of crystallographic data shows two histidine- rich regions named CuA and CuB are the peptidic segments involved in binding the two coppers. A loop containing residues M374, S 375 and V 377 connects the CuA and CuB centers. This loop is essential for the stability of the enzime. In this study, cDNA sequence coding for human tyrosinase was synthesized and the cDNA was cloned in pET28b (+). Site- directed mutagenesis was used to replacement of M374 by Aspartic acid. The single M374Asp mutation lead to local perturbation of the protein matrix at the active site affecting the orientation of the H367 side chain, that may be able to bind CuB, resulting in gain of activity.

Interaction of supply and demand in the tourism system

 

Mahmood Reza Shirazi

 

Abstract: Tourism system activities are taken place in the form of interaction between supply and demand. Various services and facilities are involved in supplying tourism products. Settlements, camps, restaurants and food service, various parks, recreation and sports facilities, on the other hand, there are many factors that affects a destination selection by tourists such as economic, social and cultural circumstance. Generally, two groups of factors are effective on the process of activities in this system. The one is legal and governmental structures which is influential in whole tourism process in supply and demand sections. The other effective factor is travelling agents and distribution channel that communicate with tourists. Of course the economic condition in countries is very important in creating movement and investment in tourism. Some experts believe that countries with per capita incomes (GDP) less than three thousand dollars cannot have much movement in tourism system. So they needed foreign investment. This paper attempts to explain the mutual role of supply and demand in tourism.

Abstract: The goal of the present study was to investigate the rate of social capital in the Medical Sciences University, Shahid Bahonar University, and Azad University of Kerman. The statistic population consisted of all the faculty members of the three universities which counted 850 persons altogether. Of these, using the random sampling method, a suitable group of 265 persons were selected for the present study. The tool used for collecting the data was a standard Social Capital Questionnaire developed by Nahapit and Ghoshal (1998) considering cognitive and structural and communicative aspects. The questionnaire consisted of 17 questions whose reliability was assessed by Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the social capital questionnaire was 0/82. In other to assess the validity of the questionnaire, the formal validity method was selected. for analysing the collected data of the study, the descriptive statistics including: frequency, mean and standard deviation and deductive statistics including ANOVA and post hoc test were used. The result of the analyzed data revealed that the average social capital in the Medical Sciences University, Shahid Bahonar University, and Azad University of Kerman is 3.70 compared to a presupposed average of 3. Therefore, the average of social capital in all three universities is below average. Moreover, the results indicated that social capital is also lower than the average in cognitive, structural and communicative aspects. There was not a significant difference between social capital rates in terms of gender, age, education status, work experience, employment status and the university.

Abstract: Emission tax is an environment protecting policies in economy context. This study also aims at investigating economic and environmental impacts of emission taxation levied on CO2 emitted from fuel and production process in Iran. To get the objective a computable general equilibrium framework based on the Iranian social accounting matrix of 1999 was used. CO2 is taxed based on World Bank (2004) estimated damage cost. The results show that tax policy impact on emission and macroeconomic variables depend on whether energy subsidies are reformed. CO2 tax is more effective in emission reduction after energy subsidy reform while implementing it at the presence of energy subsidies does not induce significant effects.

ABSTRACT: The external environment for many companies nowadays is characterized by turbulence associated with globalization, changing customers and investor demands, increasing product market competition, technology growth, considering knowledge and learning as the main assets of organizations and rapid increasing change and chaos. Some management sages advocated new “generative transformational” forms of learning to deal with an external reality in which everything is constantly evolving or “becoming”. These assumptions rise to the notion of learning organization. However, examining the relationship between learning organization dimensions and other organizational elements makes it possible to draw on suitable strategies in order to improve learning. The population of the research consists of 950 people of managers of the companies of civil industries in Iran. A sample of 295 subjects was selected as statistical sampling. The findings of the present research illustrate that there is a significant relationship between transformational leadership and learning organization dimensions. In addition, this research shows a significant relationship between transformational leadership and three dimensions (among 7 dimensions) of learning organization (LO), which consist of "continuous learning", "team learning", and "embedded system". In considering the triple levels of learning organization, the results illustrate a significant relationship between transformational leadership and two levels (group and organizational).

Abstract: Forage plants play an important role in animal feed and subsequently in human life. Water is the most limiting factor in plant growth and crop production. Therefore study on drought tolerant genotypes in arid and semi arid regions like Iran is significant. Alfalfa as one of the most important forage plants needs to high among of water during growing stages. On the other hand optimum irrigation leads to increase in crop yield. In this study 12 different alfalfa (Medicago sativa) genotypes were evaluated in response to drought tolerance. Alfalfa genotypes were considered as first factor and three osmotic potential (0, -0.4 and -0.8 Mpa) were considered as second factor in factorial arrangement experiment based on completely randomized design. Alfalfa seeds were germinated on Petri dishes under controlled conditions. Germination percentage, germination rate and germination vigor index were calculated. The results showed that ES178 genotype was superior genotypes regarding germination rate, germination percentage and germination vigor index. In addition, there was significant and positive correlation.

Abstract: In this paper, we consider a leptospirosis epidemic model with nonlinear incidences by applying the optimal control techniques and time delay. First we formulate the control epidemic model with time delay and using the control of the infected host. We want to control the infection in the population and maximize the recovered population. For the eradication of the infection, we use two control variables, to minimize the infection and maximize the population of susceptible and recovered individuals. Find the existence of the control problem and then we characterize the optimal control problem by using the well known method of Pontryagin's Maximum Principle. The numerical simulation of both the system was solved by using the backward RungeKutta order four schemes for the solution of the problem numerically..

Abstract: Cardiovascular disorders can cause disability or death, screening is helpful specially in workers who had risk factors. Night shift work is one of the occupational risk factors for cardiovascular disorders. Objective was the effects of night shift work on risk factors of cardiovascular diseases in shift workers. In a historical cohort study, workers who had night shift and who hadn’t night shift selected and cardiovascular disorders risk factors had been followed for five years and gathered then data analyzed in SPSS with mean, t-test, linear regression with P<0.05. 1000 workers had been participated in the historical cohort study, all of the cardiovascular disorders risk factors were in the normal range. In worker group with night shift, in comparison of variables between worker who work less than 15 years and worker with 15 years or more; age, low density lipoprotein, high density lipoprotein had significant difference. In linear regression worker group with night shift, at first age, total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein were significant after enter age less than 40 years; diastolic blood pressure, triglyceride, low density lipoprotein and total cholesterol were significant at the end with enter age 40 years or more none of them were significant. Diastolic blood pressure, triglyceride, low density lipoprotein and total cholesterol maybe increased with night shift. Screening of cardiovascular disorders risk factors were important and helpful in night shift workers for early diagnosis of disorders.

Abstract: Today’s society is a systemic society and is like a social organization. It has been created from the beginning of the creation and will continue till the end of life. Management is a main column and inseparable rural development, because lack of suitable and organized management in rural area, in general, and rural management in specific concept, will confront the rural development plans with lots of problems. During the previous decade or even the current hundred years the rural management in Iran has been one of the most important and the sensitive problems and challenges of planers and experts in political-social-economical-and cultural dimensions. These challenges can be searched in some cases like: ignorance of theoretical principles, lack of unified rural management, lack of stable financial resources- the local’s fade entirety- teaching the man power situation- equipments and installations unavailability and so on. This research’s goal is to nominate the local management’s role in rural development. The research’s statistical population: 37 Dehyar (a person who works in a very small county unit) - 35 Islamic council chairman and 370 rural family caretakers, in Behshahr county villages. It is a practical research; the research method is scaling and descriptive-analysis which is Information collecting method as the library way by using questionnaire designed in the Likert spectrum; the research question has been analyzed in SPSS software. The results shows that by notice the significant level (SIG) which is less than alpha level (0.05), there would be a significant relationship between the local management position and the rural development in Behshahr county villages. Also by deliberation on the Spierman correlation coefficient among association index, the women position, the constant development, convergence, there is a kind of cohesion significant which is directly complete in the statistical population and by utilization from the installation method in the way of Behshahr villages ranking, Zaghmarz, Amirabad, Gorji mahaleh, Altapeh, yekeh toot, are enjoys the most local management position by sequence and villages like Lojande, Lend, Pejim, Tazeh Abad, and Ghariib Mahaleh are having the less local management position.

Abstract: Medicinal use of basil, Ocimum basilicum, dates back to ancient times in Iran, China, and India. This herb has been used since ancient times as a medicine and food and it is known that the antioxidant effect of O. basilicum is beneficial to protect tissue and decreasing carcinogenic effect of EMF, so it was hypothesized that this herb might also provide protection ovarian tissue from reactive oxygen spaces (ROS). Female wistar rats (n = 40) were allocated to four groups, a control group (n = 10) and three treatment groups (n = 30). The first treatment group received O. basilicum extract (1.5 g/kg body weight), the second extract group received O. basilicum extract (1.5 g/kg body weight) and EMF exposure at 50 Hz for 40 consecutive days, whilst the third group received only EMF exposure for 40 consecutive days. At the conclusion of the test period rat ovary tissues were removed from all group members. Ovary tissue preparation was performed and analyzed for apoptosis. There was a significant increase in apoptosis in EMF group when compared with other groups (P<0.05). EMF has negative effect on ovary histology in rats by increasing ROS. However, these side effects are less seen in the EMF group that received O. basilicum extract. Therefore, it is recommended that usage of O. basilicum extract in modern country has fewer side effects of industrial as one of female cancer (ovary cancer) problems.

Abstract: Objectives: Comparing the serum ferritin levels of patients with systemic lupus Erythematosus (SLE) during different phases of activity with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA) patients as controls. Materials & Methods: Sixty SLE patients (56 females and 4 males) were divided into two groups marked as 1) low/no active (SLEDAI≤10) including 18 patients and 2) active (SLEDAI≥11) composed of 42 patients. Serum ferritin was determined in both SLE and control groups including 20 patients with OA and 20 with active RA (according to DAS28). Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 13.0. Results: Of 60 SLE patients, 61.7% had hyperferritinemia. Contrarily, only %5 and 15% of OA an RA patients showed elevated serum ferritin levels, respectively (P<0.001). In differentiating between SLE and RA, hyperferritinemia showed a specificity of 85% and a sensitivity of 61.6% with positive predictive value of 92.5% and negative predictive value of 42.5%. The mean ferritin titer in SLE patients was 2.7 times higher than normal value whereas it was 0.10 and 0.35times in OA and RA, respectively (P<0.001). Ferritin levels were elevated in 27 cases of active SLE and 10 of low/no active SLE but the difference was insignificant. Of SLE patients with nervous system involvement, all (6; 10%) had elevated level of serum ferritin (P<0.04).Conclusion: Hyperferritinemia is common in patients with SLE but in case of considerably high titers, the nervous system involvement should be considered. In women with polyarthritis, hyperferritinemia could be considered as a useful marker to differentiate between SLE and RA.

Abstract: Financial behavior is an approach which concentrates on the explanation of knowledge by the financers for making decisions on financing. Financial behavior helps in understanding the financial markets and its participants through a new behavioral science (psychology and sociology). Presently, financial behavioral theories help in different ways such as assets pricing; and portfolio choosing and decision making processes that are very important. And financial discovery behavior decision also presents a real psychological explanation. Financial behavior has been applied for analysis of company’s financial decision making. Therefore in the present article financial behavior has been studied. Therefore, first we presented financial definition behavior and its models, then the relation between financial behavior and financing decision making in different areas such as virtual choice, technical analysis, foreign financing and financial budgeting have been shown. In the final chapter we present results and summary of content.

Abstract: In today’s world, science has solved a major part of problems in different work systems. In the same direction there are sciences and technologies which study different aspects of health for human. One of them is ergonomics also known as human factors engineering. Ergonomics acts in four major branches, namely; occupational biomechanics, engineering psychology, anthropometry, and physiology. On the other hand job stress is the stress a specific individual undergoes in a specific job. In this definition there are many points: how experienced is the person (experienced or freshman), how powerful he acts towards existing situations and what kind of personality does they show in the workplace.Whereas there is definitely a relationship between job stress and ergonomics, regarding the principles of ergonomics could really decrease stress and also whereas in all Gas Companies all over the country there are ergonomic equipment but staff don’t know how to use them, the researcher has tried to study this problem in Shahrood’s Gas Company.Hypotheses: there is a relationship between ergonomics and stress. Occupational biomechanics (physical interaction between human and mechanical system around him, such as tables, chairs) and stress are related. Engineering psychology (noise, light) and stress are related. Anthropometric (body dimensions, including hands and feet) and stress are related. Physiological function (fatigue, work, and static and dynamic regimes' Work - Rest ") and stress are related. Sample size and population are identical and both equal 48 people. Data gathering tool are the stress questionnaire developed by Mr. Refiq Hassani and an ergonomics questionnaire developed by the author. Both questionnaires were assessed by the cronbach’s alpha to determine the reliability which for those questionnaires were 0.86 and 0.72 respectively. Kendall's tau correlation coefficient was used as the deductive statistical tool to analyze the data. In 5% level, Kendall tau’s test results show that there is no relationship between ergonomics and stress. Occupational biomechanics (physical interaction between human and mechanical system around him, such as tables, chairs) and stress are not related. Engineering psychology (noise, light) and stress are not related. Anthropometric (body dimensions, including hands and feet) and stress are not related.

Abstract: Aim and Background: Giardia lamblia (synonymous with Giardia duodenalis, Giardia intestinalis) is a protozoa intestinal flagellant which is the most common endemic and epidemic cause of diarrhea in all over the world. the main aim of this study is determining the genetic diversity of Giardia lamblia isolates using the PCR-RFLP method on the gdh (glutamate dehydrogenase gene) gene sequence in Kerman (southeastern of Iran), according to the prevalence of this unicellular in the region, we succeed to determine the genotype of numbers of Giardia lamblia isolates in infected patients. Materials and Methods: From 353 feces samples from patients with Giardiasis, approximately 50 samples was floated using sucrose by density gradient method and DNA was extracted successfully from the 30 of 50 samples using GLASS BEADS and QIAamp Stool Mini Kit, then the gdh gene was regenerated, after that 432bp fragment was appeared in PCR reaction, in following Giardia lamblia genotypes were separated by two restriction Enzyme. The results from the 30 samples tested indicated 60% (18) with “All” type assemblage, 16/6% (5) with “Al” type assemblage and 23/4% (7) with “Blll” type assemblage and necessary, it is worthy to say that the BIV type assemblage was not detected in this category.Conclusion: The PCR-RFLP is an advanced tool to determine the genotype which is used to identify the Giardia lamblia isolates which are identical morphologically and with several hosts. This molecular method assists us in determining the Giardia lamblia genotypes from direct feces samples of humans and domesticated animals.

Abstract: Management accounting systems (MAS) play a decision-facilitating role through the generation and provision of information for managerial decision-making purposes. It has been suggested that the use of management accounting information is intended to enhance the quality of managerial decisions, resulting in better-informed action choices. This study examines the interactive effects of management accounting systems (MAS) and business performance. In the current study the change in MACS was found to be an important influential factor of business performance, which was evidenced by a significant direct association between the number of changes in MACS and business performance. This result suggests that more changes in MACS mean greater organizational capacity to build accurate and useful information for effective decision making processes, which in turn, will have a positive impact on business performance.

Abstract: Agile manufacturing (AM) is a new concept in manufacturing intended to improve the competitiveness of firms. Manufacturing processes based on AM are characterized by customer-supplier integrated process for product design, manufacturing, marketing, and support services. Agile manufacturing, a recently popularised concept, has been advocated as the 21st century manufacturing paradigm. Lean production not only successfully challenged the accepted mass production practices in the automotive industry, significantly shifting the trade-off between productivity and quality, but it also led to a rethinking of a wide range of manufacturing and service operations beyond the high-volume repetitive manufacturing environment. The implementation of Lean Production Systems is more than redesigning some production processes. Quality improvement (QI) of industrial products and processes requires collection and analyses of data to solve quality related manufacturing problems.

Abstract: In order to investigate the effect of seed priming beside draught stress on mustard plant, an experiment was conducted in Agriculture Faculty Research Laboratory of Takestan University as a 4-replication Split-factorial layout within completely randomized plan in laboratory conditions in 2012. This experiment was composed of two seed priming levels (priming and no priming) and 5 drought stress levels (0.00, -1.50, -3.00, -4.50 and -6.00 bar). To create these stress levels, crystalline polyethylene glycol 6000 was used as solute. The results showed that seed priming has a meaningful effect on germination percentage, germination rate and sidling vigor index in 1% significance level. Also they indicated that drought stress has a significant effect on germination percentage, germination rate, seedling vigor index, coleoptile length, radicle length and seedling dry weight. Mutual effect of priming and drought stress on germination percentage, seedling vigor index, radicle length and seedling dry weight was significant such that maximum radicle length (92.75mm), seedling dry weight (0.53gr), germination percentage (83%), germination rate (8.35d) and seedling vigor index (14.91) was obtained. The results showed that the stress could decrease measured parameters but in drought stress conditions, seed priming could increase germination percentage, germination rate, seedling vigor index, radicle length and seedling dry weight.

Abstract: Position importance of the Middle East isn’t only limited to its strategic position. Although after Soviet decline geostrategic value of this place has been decreased. But regarding to change in nature of power relation in the international system that it may displace the light policies based on the economical power in the acute policies based on the military force, the geopolitical situation of the Middle East has been changed and as it was before, this geographical area is valuable for the industrial world. So in the past and now conditions, the great part of the ultra-regional reaction of this area with the great powers has been from this position. Features and advantages have provided presence, influence and interference of powers in this area and caused to prolong the disputes and crisis. Terrorism has provided this opportunity and also threat for NATO to explain another identity. The security environment change and the new actors appearance in the international system need to create the quantitative and qualitative changes in NATO structure and using its ability to create changes in strategic areas of different points of world. The Middle East is one of the strategic areas that have an important role in collecting the future strategies.

Abstract: Consider to critical role of pastures in soil erosion prevention providing livestock forage we evaluated osmotic stress induced by polyethylene glycol on alfalfa germination and determined superior genotypes in response to the stress. Experimental design was completely randomized design arranged in factorial with three replications. Twelve alfalfa genotypes were considered as min factor and different osmotic stresses (0, -0.4 and -0.8 MPa) were considered as second factor. Different osmotic potential was imposed using polyethylene glycol 6000. Alfalfa seeds were placed in 9 cm Petri dishes and put in germinator under controlled conditions. In this study, germination percentage, shoot and radicle length, germination stress index and radicle number were measured. There was significant variation between studied traits at 0.01 probability level. In addition, there was significant difference between osmotic stress level and genotypes. The highest shoot length was observed from KR2197 genotypes. On the other hand, KR2197 and ES058 produced the longest radicles. Furthermore, we found positive and significant correlation between studied traits. The highest germination stress index was related to ES0178 and ES008. In conclusion, ES0178, ES058 and KR 2421 genotypes were known as superior genotypes compared with other genotypes.

Abstract: The first minutes after birth are a very vulnerable period for both mother and newborn. The care that is provided during this time is critical to improve their longer-term health. Mother- infant Skin to skin contact immediately after birth creates an optimal environment for the adaptation of newborn infants to extra uterine life and should be a routine method in hospitals. The Purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of skin to skin contact between newborn and mother immediately after birth on mother’s satisfaction in Taleghani hospital in Arak on 2008–2009. Materials and methods: A randomized controlled trial was designed to study the effect of early skin –to- skin contact between mother and newborn. 80 pairs of newborns and their mothers who delivered in Taleghani hospital Arak, Iran were included in the study. They were randomly assigned to two groups (skin to skin contact and routine care). In skin-to-skin contact group, immediately after birth naked newborns were placed in prone position on skin contact with their mothers and in routine care group newborns were placed in cot under warmer. A questionnaire was used to assess mothers’ satisfaction. In the end of breastfeeding mothers’ satisfaction were assessed. Data were collected by a questionnaire, which included questions about the mothers’ satisfaction with the care they received during labor and their tendency to skin to skin contact in future. The validity of questionnaire was determined by content validity method and reliability was obtained by internal consistency (consistency coefficient 0.90). Data were analyzed by SPSS software. Findings: A larger proportion of mothers in skin to skin contact group were very satisfied (70%) and satisfied (20%) with their care, and a larger proportion of mothers in routine care group were very unsatisfied (35%) and unsatisfied (35%).There was a significant difference between two groups in terms of their tendency for skin-to-skin contact in future. Conclusion: Skin-to-skin contact between mother and newborn results in mother’s satisfaction.

Abstract: This study was conducted on horses with strangles for evaluation serum concentration of F2 Isoprostaneses(F2IP) and antioxidants (Glutathione Peroxidase (GPx), Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Catalase(CAT), Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC), Vitamin E (Vit E), Vitamin C (Vit C) and Selenium (Se)). 10 horses confirmed on the bases of clinical and laboratory signs of strangles. Blood samples tacked from jugular vein and separated serum. Sampling performed from 8 healthy horses with similar ages, feed and condition, too. Serum concentrations of HB, F2IP, Vit E, Vit C, Se, TAC and serum’s activity of GPx, SOD and CAT enzymes measured in the samples. There was a negative correlation between F2IP and serum’s antioxidants in two groups, which antioxidants decreased in the serum with increasing of F2IP. The correlation between MDA with GPx, CAT, TAC, Vit E, Se and HB was significant in the patient group (p<0.05) and was not significant with SOD and Vit C. In the healthy group these correlations were significant in GPx, SOD, CAT and TAC (p<0.05) but no significant in Vit E, Vit C, Se and HB. In conclusion, there was an oxidative stress in the horses with strangles and oxidants use in compare antioxdant markers in the serum and this result must be observe in treatment them.

Abstract: The aim of this study was to assess the effects of Solanum lycopersicum L. (Tomato) pulp on oxidative stress of liver tissue in rats fed with high fat diet. For this end, male Wistar rats were treated in 4 experimental groups including: 1-healthy control group given standard diet, 2- high fat fed diet group for induction of oxidative stress in liver, 3- high fat diet plus Clofibrate (320 mg/kg) as positive control group, and 4- high fat diet plus Tomato pulp (20 ml/kg) for protection of oxidative stress, at a period of 6 weeks. At the end of experiment, the serum levels of triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C), very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL-C) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C) were detected to determine deleterious metabolic effects. The lipid peroxidation product, malondialdehyde (MDA) and reduced glutathione (GSH) content was measured to assess free radical activity in the liver tissues. The enzymatic activities of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) were measured as indicators of antioxidation in liver tissue. After 6 weeks treatment, After 4 weeks, high fat diet caused deleterious metabolic effects, including hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesterolemia. Rats fed with high fat diet showed significant decline in antioxidants, and elevated lipid peroxidation product (MDA) in liver. Tomato pulp treatment significantly reduced MDA level and brought back the liver antioxidants near to normal. The results obtained showed that Tomato pulp exerts inhibitory effects against oxidative stress in liver tissue of high fat fed diet rats through its antioxidant activity.

Abstract: The urea and ammonia industries play important role in Agricultural sectors. Moreover, the export of urea and ammonia is also an annual source of significant value added currency earnings. Hence, the price level of natural gas, as a feeding source for the urea and ammonia plants, is an important factor for economic survival of such plants. After implementing the energy price subsidies removal act in Iran, all producers of urea and ammonia in domestic market are worried for projects future’s economy and feasibilities. Such uncertainties are more expedited for grass root and under construction projects. In this paper, based on an economic simulation model, the economic prospect of new Iranian urea and ammonia projects is evaluated. It is hoped that such model results could also be applied by those developing countries, having similar scenario of subsidies removal as well as entering open access market. The simulation results are examined, using two different approaches. First approach considers uncorrelated relation between both natural gas and urea and ammonia prices but in the second one the correlation between price variables is considered to be linear. The obtained results by both approaches show that for achieving around 20% targeted Internal Rate of Return (IRR) in urea and ammonia plants, in this article should apply discrimination policy for feed natural gas price. Such unique remedy should be applied in all projects during payback period. Hence, the government can fix the same price for all units as a rational price level. On the contrary, following the approved subsidies removal act, if the government dictates high gas price then many crises are expected in developments of urea and ammonia projects.

Abstract: Collection, maintenance and optimized distribution of water is one of the most important and costly projects of water industry in Iran. The selection of the optimized choice among various methods of the construction of the dam body is economical and reduces the construction costs considerably. In recent decades, by the advancement of road construction machineries and earth operation, applying earth dams is developed. To select the best choice, the designer should investigate and compare various choices to reduce the project costs and make the implementation time minimum. In this study, based on the construction of Jere Ramhormoz earth-core rockfill dam (ECRD), this dam was designed for concrete face rockfill dam (CFRD) and was compared with ECRD. To do this, in the first section of the study, we investigate the general reasons of the selection of the type of dam body and recognition of the study area of the construction location of Jere dam. This dam with the height of 107m is constructed on Zard River and in another section by showing the sample sections for both of construction methods, they were compared. This economical comparison shows good saving in the selection of CFRD compared to ECRD.

ABSTRACT: Respiratory infections are among some common health difficulties which may occur in journeys. Tamattu' Hajj, an annual congregation of more than 2 million (including 100000 Iranian) pilgrims from all over the world, embodies circumstances, e. g. close contact, shared sleeping accommodations and the dense air pollution, which potentially facilitate airborne respiratory disease transmission. With pilgrims' returning home, respiratory infections may be spread to different countries, leading to considerable expenditures imposed mainly on National Health Systems. Thus, this study was conducted to investigate acute respiratory viral infections among Hajj pilgrims. In this descriptive-analytical study, serum samples were taken from 338 Iranian pilgrims in order to be investigated, through enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), for antibodies to given viruses. 84 % of studied pilgrims, during their journey, presented with symptoms of infectious diseases, among which Adenoviruses (23.7%) occurred more prevalently compared to the other two viruses of concern, i. e., Influenza (3.6%) and RSV (7.4%). Several factors are involved in rate and type of acute respiratory infections among Hajj pilgrims. Despite high rate of infection with Influenza and Adenoviruses, since massive gatherings may help all pathogenic respiratory agents cause pandemics, other infectious agents should be seriously addressed as well.

Abstract: This experiment was conducted to determine the effects of dietary lysine to crude protein ratio on performance of broiler chickens in starter period. All diets were isocaloric and isonitrogenous with different ratios of lysine to crude protein, and basis of diets contained corn, soybean meal, and cottonseed meal. A complete randomized design with dietary lysine to crude protein was used to experiments The six starter diets,based on lysine to crude protein ratios were A1(0/050), A2(0/055),A3(0/060),A4(0/065), A5(0/070) A6(0/075). Growth performance and carcass composition were evaluated during the experiment. The results showed that dietary lysine to crude portion ratio significantly affected the body weight gain (BWG), feed convection ratio (FCR), feed intake (FI), breast meat yield (BMY) and thigh yield (TY) (p<0/05); However, treatments’ effect on carcass percentage was not significant. A modeling approach was applied to determine the optimum level of supplemental lysine, and inflection point in spline models was considered as an optimum point. Using linear broken-line model, inflection points for BWG, FC, BMY, were 0.0.062, 0.00.063 and 0.067 of ratio, respectively. These values in quadratic broken-line model were 0.069, 0.058 and 0.075 of ratio, respectively. Ratio of current study revealed that in diets comprising cottonseed meal were required the higher dietary lysine to curde protein ratio as compared with conventional diets. Moreover, due to low digestibility of lysine in cottonseed meal higher requirements are needed rather than the recommended level of NRC (1994) that recommended 0.052 during starter phase.

Abstract: Heat transfer and friction factor characteristics in a circular tube fitted with core rod and multi duct inserts at high temperature have been investigated experimentally. In the experiments, ambient air with Reynolds numbers in a range of 6000-20,000 is passed through a circular tube with uniform wall temperature and convection and radiation heat transfer phenomena are studied. Experiments have been performed at four constant wall temperature tubes with core rod insert. For each wall temperature considered, convection and radiation heat transfer coefficients have been determined. The experimental results show that at uniform wall temperature of 373 K, 473 K, 553 K and 633 K the average share of the radiation heat transfer coefficient to the total heat transfer coefficient are 11.5, 13.1, 15.3 and 17.8% for core rod and 16.9, 20.0, 24.3 and 27.8% for multi duct insert respectively. In addition it was noted that for the mentioned temperatures, the heat transfer coefficient increased by 227, 299, 327 and 369% for core rod and 279, 396, 453 and 539% for multi duct insert respectively in comparison to the plain tube. It was also noted that increasing the wall temperature also resulted in increase of friction factor. Based on the experimental results for Nusselt number and friction factor empirical correlation have been derived. Plotting the experimental findings and the correlations, it was noted that the majority of the data are within ±12% and ±8% of the proposed correlations for heat transfer coefficient and friction factor, respectively. The results were also tested against available and well proven correlations with reasonable agreement.

Abstract: Root Cause Analysis is a method that is used to address a problem or non-conformance, in order to get to the “root cause” of the problem. It is used to correct or eliminate the cause, and prevent the problem from reoccurring. The visible problem or symptom is considered to be the cause and the hidden problem is ignored. Hence root cause analysis is necessary to fix a problem or non-conformance forever. When root cause analysis is done in an unstructured and undisciplined approach, proves to be useless as the time and cost involved in this process are high. Experts are employed to make a proper root cause analysis, which means the cost involved is high and the time consumed should be used efficiently. Manufacturing industries for decades follow some structured and disciplined approach for root cause analysis and have proved for number of times the analysis have a positive outcome. One of the methods in root cause is dominos phenomenon. In normal problem solving methods, what we see is the final piece of domino that hits the ground. But the real cause for the domino to hit the ground was the first domino which started the triggering factor. Hence the real root cause of the problem is the first domino, where as in normal problem solving method we capture only the physical failure the domino hitting the ground and try solve it, which will never fix the problem. In this paper Root cause analysis are studied the factors that help to form a structured and disciplined approach of root cause analysis for Software, which to be benchmarked for manufacturing industries and to adapting it suitably for software.

Abstract: This study analyzes the potential impact of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in the delivery of reproductive health care services. Twelve health establishments located in the districts under the coverage of the micro-Telco were selected. Of the twelve establishments, only ten were found open at the time of the visit. A total of 15 surveys were personally administered by the author. A questionnaire was designed to identify the reproductive health information needs of health center workers and how ICT could help to satisfy those needs. The analysis of questionnaire data was conducted using the MINITAB v14.2 statistical software application.The results show that although health center workers believe that the use of ICTs would allow them to have better access to health information and therefore, improve the quality of the health care provided, they fail to see how ICTs could satisfy most urgent needs such as lack of qualified personnel and medical equipment. This study was undertaken to assess the current health information needs of health facilities in the area of reproductive health care; however, similar analyses can be conducted to assess more general health care needs.

Abstract: The spasmolytic and indomethacin-induced ulcer protective effects of Linum usitatissimum seed in guinea pig ileum and mouse stomach, respectively, were investigated. The water extract of the whole seed, after being soaked for different periods, was employed to test it spasmolytic effect and its protective action against experimental ulcerogenesis. The extract was observed to show significant spasmolytic activity and protective effect against experimental ulcerogenesis (p < 0.01). Both effects were observed to increase with increase in the soaking period (p < 0.01). The present findings suggest that the seed of Linum usitatissimum could be a potential medicine in peptic ulcer therapy.

Abstract: The aim of this work was to investigate Stress Concentration Factor (SCF) variations induced by adding of holes in a perforated base plate subjected to uniaxial tension load, using Finite Element Method (FEM). Analyses were applied in 2D for different diameters, orientation angels and distances of added holes from the base hole. A parametric model in ANSYS finite element software was used to calculate the SCFs and the differences between SCFs have been shown in various graphs. To investigate the variation of SCF in perforated base plate, two holes with the same diameter were located symmetrically to the longitudinal axis with different angles and distances from the base hole. The results showed that by adding holes with a proper diameter, orientation angles and distances from the base hole, the SCFs can be reduced. Using the obtained graphs and corresponding to the base hole diameter the most adequate diameter and its position was determined. Obtained results for special statuses had a good agreement with the graphs of Peterson’s stress concentration factors.

Abstract: In human and robot coexistence, human sensory feelings are aroused in the case of interaction. This causes such an unpleasant feeling called pain, which is an important feeling in avoiding danger. For more safe interaction, it becomes important for robots to sense pain. Thus in this paper the focus is on design a controller based on the thermal pain that is subjective of human. When the temperature is out of the normal physiological range, skin fails to protect, and the pain sensation is evoked. The first goal of this paper is to present the computer-aided analysis of the heat transfer in skin tissue using the clinical data. Afterward, we aim to cast the biological behavior of skin in an engineering system. Then we attempt to establish a modeling of skin thermal pain through ion channel to pain sensation. Finally, to emulate the thermal pain, we design a controller based on the thermal pain model.

Abstract: Since suspension system of car plays a major role in reducing transmission of vibrations from the road to car body and passenger comfort, designing suspension system is one of engineers’ goals. In this paper, a sliding mode controller for active suspension system is proposed which aims to improve passenger comfort and stability parameters. There is a direct relationship between passenger comfort parameter and vertical acceleration on car passenger. Linear equations based on model ¼ of extraction system and coefficient of sliding mode controller for minimizing maximize of overshoot and settling time for vertical acceleration on a car passenger have been optimized and determined using ICA evolutionary algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed controller, in addition to improving passenger comfort parameter, has also improved system stability. Comparison of simulation results obtained from proposed controller with the passive mode shows the improvement in passenger comfort and stability parameters.

Abstract: Purposes - Cardiovascular diseases have nowadays become the most common diseases in developing countries, particularly in urban regions. The purpose of this study is to investigate and compare cardiovascular risk factors such as hs-CRP, WHR and TCL, LDL to HDL ratios in active and inactive middle-aged women. Materials and Methods - Subjects in this study were middle-aged women (avg. age: 41.34±3.51 years, height: 158.89±5.136cm, weight: 76.69±4.749 kg, BMI: 27.61±1.96 kg/m2) who were selected randomly among volunteers and classified into two active (15) and inactive (14) groups. Active group was consisted of women who had one year regular sport activity history and inactive group was including women who had no sport activities in last year. In this comparative, causal study, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to demonstrate assumption of normal data and independent t test to compare averages. Results - Findings showed that hs-CRP in serum, WHR level and LDL, TC to HDL ratios are less in active than inactivemiddle-aged women. Conclusions - Considering the findings in this study, it can be cautiously concluded that regular physical activities because of anti-inflammatory effects and lipid profile improvement cause to decrease the risk of cardiovascular diseases in overweight middle-aged women.

Abstract: A Turbine blade, which is a main high temperature component of a gas-turbine for power generation does not tolerate the existence of cracks as it rotates at a high speed. Consequently, the development of an analytical method to evaluate the remaining life for crack initiation is required. The accuracy of remaining life evaluation by an analytical method largely depends on inelastic constitutive equations expressing on a creep-fatigue life evaluation method using such equations to estimate the remaining life for crack initiation. Therefore, in this paper, we studied creep-fatigue damage mechanism of gas turbine blades which is capable to describe inelastic behavior of the material and the damage mechanism. For this purpose we use Thermo-Mechanical Fatigue (TMF) life prediction models take into account the interaction between fatigue and creep at varying temperatures.

Abstract: The land use / cover is not fixed but changed in the effect of different operations. Identifying and recognizing these changes could help managers and planners to discover the factors involved in land use and coverage changes and to have a beneficent planning to control them. This study has been carried out with the purpose of investigating the capability of Landsat ETM+ & IRS-1D imagery for forest and non-forest extent mapping and determining forest and non-forest changes in Zagros forests from 1957 to 2010 and identifying the causes of these changes as well. A case study was accomplished at the conventional territory of Jojar village in Salas County from Kermanshah province, west of Iran. The land use map related to the forest and non forest lands in 1957 were provided via photo interpretation and classifying it in the environment of Arc GIS 10 software. After investigating the radiometric and geometric quality of satellite images, together with correcting them, the area of study was first divided into forest and non forest classes and then again into six classes of farms, forests, forest lands, gardens, ranges, and residential lands. Via employing the supervised classification and the maximum likelihood algorithm, the accuracy assessment of results obtained from the classification in comparison to the accurate ground map which was gathered using GPS from a systematic sampling network, showed the overall accuracy rate of 92.85%. The results obtained from investigating the land use changes of the area showed that in the course of studying the related area, 295.3 ha of forests and 223.9 ha of forest lands have been reduced and changed into farm lands & ranges and on the other hand range areas have got an increasing rate of 466.4 ha. The reasons are due to change of forest lands into farm lands, cutting the trees for fuel supplying, increase of the domesticated animals in the village, oak lopping for supplying herbs, etc.

Abstract: Enterprise resource planning (ERPs) are module-based system which help organizations to integrated flow of information throughout them. They increase synergic inter-department decision making and lead to performance enhancement via cost reduction and improvement of productivity and supply chain management. Considering high rate of ERP implementation project's fails, the most aspect of ERP implementation returns to readiness assessment. The context of governmental service organizations (GSOs) has specific characteristics in comparisons of other organizations. The joint aspect of three dimensions of such organizations -service, employee and system-is human resource (HR). Hence, organization readiness assessment should be concentrate on HRs' readiness assessment. The current research focuses on this area and tries to assess technology readiness as core of organization readiness for ERP implementation, which has been approved by many research that have positive effect on system adoption and use. In the other hand technology readiness referees to lower levels of resistance and higher levels of participation and intention to experiences new systems which in ERPs because of their role in business process reengineering (BPR) are very crucial and critical. Then the research applied to agricultural jahad organization of Qazvin province and the results have been reported.

Abstract: Malaria is a tropical and semi-tropical parasitic disease, which is native to some countries including Iran. In recent years, owing to various factors including the overuse of insecticides in agriculture and decreased fund allocated to the disease in the world, the prevalence of malaria has increased. Similar to many developing countries, Iran has some problems in this respect. Every year, some cases of the disease are reported in Qom province. Therefore, it is important to determine the epidemiological status of the disease in the province. This descriptive cross-sectional study was performed during 2007- 2009. Diagnosis of the disease was based upon clinical examination and microscopic evaluation of thick and thin peripheral blood smears. Microscopic observation of the parasite in the smear was performed after smear staining. The demographic data, and clinical and laboratory findings were recorded in the patients’ datasheet. The data were analyzed using chi square test and t-test. The frequency of malaria cases in 2008 had an increasing trend, compared with the previous year. Most cases occurred during the peak activity period of Anopheles mosquito; from June to October. The infection has occurred mostly in males, in the age range of 16-25, and in urban population in immigrants (Afghan immigrants). Moreover, the highest prevalence was related to Plasmodium vivax, and the most common accompanying symptoms were chilling, and then fever, nausea and vomiting, and generalized pain. Following the care measures and applying regional malaria fighting procedures, would control the disease.

Abstract: In order to study the effects of barley to corn ratio on growth performance carcass composition and blood fatty acids profile an experiment was conducted with 12 male Gezel lambs in a completely randomized design each 4 experimental diets in 3 replicate for 110 days. In experimental diets the ratio of barley to corn were 100:0, 75:25, 5:50, 0:100. The results showed that there were not any significant differences between treatments in final body weight, daily weight gain, dry matter intake and feed conversion (P>0.05). Between treatments treatment 2nd had the highest amount of width muscle length (P<0.05). And the highest eye muscle length was observed in experiment group 3 (P<0.05). In comparison of meat fatty acids composition the highest amount of Estraric saturated fatty acid (C:18) and the lowest amount of C16:1-n7 and C18:1-n9 were observed in group 2 (P<0.05).In comparison of blood fatty acids profile the lowest amount of C18:1-n9 in experiment group 2 and C18:1-n7 in experiment group 1 and the highest amount of C18:2-n6 and C18:3-n3 were observed in group1.The overall results showed that in Gezel fattening lambs using 75:25 and 50:50 of barley to corn have positive effects performance carcass characteristics.

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of e-retailing attributes in five aspects of shopping convenience, product selection, informativeness, price and customization on e-satisfaction and e-loyalty of Iranian customers by considering the roles of consumers’ individual level factors (inertia, convenience motivation and purchase size) and firms’ business level factors (trust, perceived value). The results from analysis based on simple linear regression and multiple hierarchical regression show that informativeness and shopping convenience have respectively the most positive effect on e-satisfaction and product selection, price and customization were not able to exert positive effects on e-satisfaction. Also results suggest positive effects of price, in formativeness and customization on e-loyalty. The interesting fact is that product selection had not any effect on e-satisfaction and e-loyalty. Finally, the obtained result shows that the effect of e-satisfaction on e-loyalty can significantly be moderated by customers' individual and firms' business level factors.
