Since 6th century, with the establishment of Sufism schools, new features were occurred for Islamic Mysticism or Sufism and the school of Sufism was established. However, with the presence of disputes and conflicts among sheikhs of Sufism, a dynasty was established named Nematollahi Dynasty, which was one of the most famous dynasties of Sufism of conflict and unique branches. In this regard, the main objective of the present study is introducing customs, traditions and rituals of Sufis of Nematollahi Gonabadi Dynasty in Tehran. Applied method in this study is library, document, qualitative and deep- viewing method. In addition, presence in field of study in abbey of Amir Soleimani in Tehran and also abbey of Mazar Sultani in Bidokht Gonabad has specified qualitative and descriptive aspects of the study.

Root-knot nematodes are distributed worldwide, and are obligate parasites of the roots of thousands of plant species. All major field crops, vegetable crops, turf, ornamentals, legumes and weeds are susceptible to one or more of the root-knot species. In this study, nineteen weed species were found to be hosts for Meloidogyne incognita, M. javanica, M. arenaria race 2, and M. hapla in tomato fields in Khorasan Province, Iran. Egg mass production and galling differed (p < 0.05) among these weed species: Amaranthus blitoides, Portulaca oleracea, Polygonum aviculare, Convolvulus arvensis, Cyperus rotundus, Plantago lanceolatum, Rumex acetosa, Solanum nigrum, Datura stramonium, Acroptilon repens, Alcea rosa, Alhaji camelorum, Chenopodium album, Echinochla crusgalli, Hibiscus trionum, Kochia scoparia, Malva rotundifolia, Setaria viridis, Lactuca serriola. The species P. oleracea, A. blioides, S. nigrum, P. lanceolatum, Ch. album, and C. arvensis are major threats to the natural ecosystem in the Iranian province of Khorasan. A. blitoides collected from tomato fields was a good host for 4 Meloidogyne species.

  • Arachnida: Araneae)
    Iranian Journal of Animal Biosystematics (IJAB) Vol. 1, No. 1, 59-66, 2005 ISSN: 1735-434X Faunistic study of spiders in Khorasan Province, Iran (Arachnida: Araneae) OMID MIRSHAMSI KAKHKI* Zoology Museum, Faculty of Sciences, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, IRAN The spiders of Iran are still very incompletely known. As a result of the study of spider fauna in different localities of Khorasan Province and other studies which have been done by other workers a total of 26 families, 63 genera and 95 species are recorded from these areas. Distribution in Khorasan Province and in the world, field and some taxonomic notes are given for each species. Available biological or ecological data are provided. Key Words: Araneae, spider fauna, Khorasan, Iran INTRODUCTION The order Araneae ranks seventh in global diversity after the five insect orders (Coleoptera, Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, Diptera, and Hemiptera) and Acarina among the Arachnids in terms of species described (Coddington and Levi, 1991). Because spiders are not studied thoroughly estimation of total diversity is very difficult. On the basis of records, the faunas of Western Europe, especially England, and Japan are completely known, and areas such as South America, Africa, the pacific region and the Middle East are very poorly known (Coddington and Levi, 1991). Platnick in his World Spider Catalog (2005) has estimated that there are about 38000 species worldwide, arranged in 110 families. Despite this diversity among spiders, limited studies could be found in literature on spider fauna of Iran. Indeed, taxonomic and faunistic studies on spiders of Iran have begun during the last 10 years. Before that our knowledge of Iranian spiders was limited to the studies of some foreign authors such as Roewer (1955); Levi (1959); Kraus & Kraus (1989); Brignoli (1970, 72, 80, 81); Senglet (1974); Wunderlich (1995); Levy & Amitai (1982); Logunov (1999,2001,2004); Logunov et al (1999, 2002); Saaristo et al(1996) .

Read Full License Page 1/25 Abstract Global warming due to increasing carbon dioxide emissions over the past two centuries has had numerous climatic consequences. The change in the behavior and characteristics of extreme weather events such as temperature and precipitation is one of the consequences that have been of interest to researchers worldwide. In this study, the trend of 3 extreme indices of temperature: SU35, TR20, and DTR over two future periods have been studied using downscaled output of 3 GCMs in Razavi Khorasan province, Iran. The results show that the range of temperature diurnal variation (DTR) at three stations of Mashhad, Torbat-e-Heydarieh and Sabzevar during the base period has been reduced signicantly. The trend of the number of summer days with temperatures above 35°C (SU35) in both Mashhad and Sabzevar stations was positive and no signicant trend was found at Torbat-e-Heydarieh station. The number of tropical nights index (TR20) also showed a positive and signicant increase in the three stations under study. The results showed highly signicant changes in temperature extremes. The percentage of changes in SU35 index related to base period (1961–2014) for all three models (CNCM3, HadCM3 and NCCCSM) under A1B and A2 scenarios indicated a signicant increase for the future periods of 2011–2030 and 2046–2065.

  • Historical, Structural and Environmental Features of the Qanat in Iran
    International History Seminar on Irrigation and Drainage Tehran-Iran May 2-5, 2007 HISTORICAL, STRUCTURAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL FEATURES OF THE QANAT IN IRAN Ghasem Zarei1, Abolfazl Nasseri2 ABSTRACT Average rainfall in Iran (With 250 mm) is less than one-third of the global average annual rainfall and similar to that of arid and semi-arid countries of the world. For overcome water shortage in Iran, an old and interesting technique called as qanats was devised which convey water from an aquifer to lower-elevation fields. The qanats consist of a horizontal tunnel that taps ground water in an alluvial fan, brings it to the surface due to gravitational force. It provides required water for production of agricultural crops. Construction and exploitation of qanats have some environmental benefits. For instance, qanats waters don't have any contaminations. Also, improving vegetation cover without a biological changes in vegetative population are local achievements of the qanats. Other environmental advantages, historical and structural features in Iran were presented in the paper as detail. Keywords: Qanat, Irrigation history, Structural and environmental features of the qanat. INTRODUCTION AND HISTORICAL FEATURE Water and its resources is development key for Iran. Therefore, the qanats as a main water resource is very valuable natural resources in arid zone in Iran. There are some 22000 qanat units in Iran, comprising more than 170000 miles of underground channels (Saffari, 2005). Some qanat advantages are as follow (Davarpanah, 2005): a) Utilization of gravity force for bringing out water. b) Lack of need to fuel, electric power, and motor pump station. c) Existence of local specialists for building and repairing and dredging qanats and is consistent with culture and environment.

In order to, the aim of current research is assessment of regional development using taxonomy model in the Razavi Khorasan province of Iran. Applied methodology is based on descriptive- analytical methods. we have used of numerical taxonomy as an most common approaches to categorize of development level in the Khorasan Razavi cities. Results show that Torbat- E- Jam (0.5) city has the highest level of development in case study region, while Fariman (0.15) has the lowest level. Finally, in the end of this presented some solve ways. KEY WORDS: Urban Development, Regional Development, Razavi Khorasan, Taxonomy I. INTRODUCTION Regional development is a broad term but can be seen as a general effort to reduce regional disparities by supporting (employment and wealth-generating) economic activities in regions. In the past, regional development policy tended to try to achieve these objectives by means of large-scale infrastructure development and by attracting inward investment.
