It is the ability of fabric to hang freely in graceful folds when some area of it is supported over a surface and the rest is unsupported. During the application of different fabrics, both in industrial and apparel sector, it has been observed that the ability of the fabric to assume a graceful appearance of the contour is very vital conveying the significance of drapeability of the fabric. With the growing environmental concerns and eco-sustainability, the global emphasis is towards the application of eco- concordant, bio-degradable, renewable green products and this has inclined towards the natural fibre-made fabrics scoring them over their manmade counter parts and making them a natural choice for the mankind. The natural fibre-made fabrics have proven records of efficacy to prove their mettle match with manmade fabrics in different areas of application. -

Theoretical Framework: on Culture and Work 8
Tattered Cloth Tells More: Women‟s Work and Museum Representation by Elise Weinstein Dintsman A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Sociology and Equity Studies in Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Elise Weinstein Dintsman 2012 Tattered Cloth Tells More: Women‘s Work and Museum Representation Doctor of Philosophy 2012 Elise Weinstein Dintsman Department of Sociology and Equity Studies in Education University of Toronto Abstract The past two decades posed some challenges for the museum world. Questions about the production of meaning, museum relationships with community groups, and the politics of representation in exhibitions, occupy both museum practitioners and scholars. These questions are further related to the general issues that are at the forefront of contemporary society, which include problems of social inclusion, cultural diversity and social equity (Sandell, 2002; 2007). Most of the discussion has been framed around racial, ethnic and cultural communities and their access to and participation in museum programming. Gender relations and feminist issues have been largely overlooked (Conlan and Levin, 2010: 308). This study considers the representation of women‘s work in museums. In particular, I examine portrayals of ―culture‖ and ―work‖ in women‘s textile production. Museum literature has documented the subordination (or absence) of women and their work in exhibitions and the hegemonic, patriarchal approach within which they were represented (Porter, 1996; Levin, 2010). ii Using an ethnographic case study of a museum dedicated to textile collection, I suggest seeing this museum as a potential challenge to mainstream museums‘ traditional approach and silence on the women‘s work that has created most textiles on display. -
Marine and Coastal Indigenous and Community Conserved Areas (Iccas) in the South of Iran and a Review of Related Laws
Marine and Coastal Indigenous and Community Conserved Areas (ICCAs) in the South of Iran and a Review of Related Laws Razieh Ghayoumi The United Nations-Nippon Foundation Fellowship Programme 2013 - 2014 DIVISION FOR OCEAN AFFAIRS AND THE LAW OF THE SEA OFFICE OF LEGAL AFFAIRS, THE UNITED NATIONS NEW YORK DISCLAIMER The views expressed herein are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Government of Islamic Republic of Iran, the United Nations, the Nippon Foundation of Japan, or Saint Mary's University. © 2014 Razieh Ghayoumi. All rights reserved. 2 Abstract The new concept and yet the old one about conservation with the contribution of indigenous people and local communities has attracted many scientists’ attention. International conservation policies and programms recognize and support indigenous and community conserved areas and encourage all states to do the same. This thesis aimed to introduce marine and coastal Indigenous and Community Conserved Areas and the related laws, regulations and development plans thoroughly in Iran. The main focus of this thesis is on traditional conservation by local communities in Qeshm Island, located in Hormozgan province in south of Iran along the Persian Gulf. Through this study, it was concluded that indigenous people and local communities have an important role in governing protected areas and it is recommended to include them in conservation programms. 3 SUPERVISORS: Dr. Anthony Charles Dr. Francois Bailet Ms. Valentina Germani 4 Acronyms CBD Convention on Biological -

The geometry of this architecture is the result of its fundamental components and elements not being formed in the designer’s mind all of a sudden in a constructive and unified process; rather it is the result of a gradual practical and constructive method. Its components including physical and geometrical features exert significant effect on the end result of the overall volume. The formation process in nature is often carried out by the help of a structure or some structures. Like nature, formation of volumes in Iran’s traditional architecture follows the same rules. The morphologies of the traditional architecture as well as the modern architecture are fundamentally different with each other from this perspective. This means that the former is accomplished through motion of basic, constructive and standardized elements in space while the latter is realized through a mental and abstract process. -

[email protected] ABSTRACT Qeshm Island is one of the most beautiful Islands in Iran which has gathered a worldly unique and precious collection due to its eroded phenomena (i.e. Chahkooh canyon, Stars Valley and Tang-e Ali Strait); valuable geological heritage (i.e. Namakdan Salt Dome the world's largest salt cave and etc.) and cultural and historical diversities. This Island is of particular importance in national and international fora due to the aggregation of these attractions, being located in the strategic region of Persian Gulf, being the first geopark of Iran and the Middle East and being known as the eroded land, it also can be called the geotourism gateway of Iran. In this paper along with introducing the theoretical concepts, geographical and geological features; ecotourism and geotourism potentials of Island, the impact of erosion on the creation of amazing geosites were also studied in this Island and solutions were offered for the development of geotourism. The research method in this paper was descriptive - analytical and data collection was done through library research, field studies and satellite images.

Three-Dimensional Simulation of Qeshm Channel Currents
Journal of the Persian Gulf (Marine Science)/Vol. 2/No. 3/March 2011/8/9-16 Three-Dimensional Simulation of Qeshm Channel Currents Mahmoudov, Masoud1*; Chegini, Vahid1; Montazeri Namin, Masoud2 1- Iranian National Institute for Oceanography, Tehran, IR Iran 2- Tehran University, Tehran, IR Iran Received: April 2010 Accepted: December 2010 © 2011 Journal of the Persian Gulf. All rights reserved. Abstract Qeshm Channel is a shallow and narrow waterway located between Qeshm Island and the mainland in the vicinity of Hormuzgan Province, Islamic Republic of Iran. This channel is important because of its economic, industrial, fisheries and navigation role it plays as well as environmental issues it presents in the region. A prognostic study was performed to simulate currents in this channel, using COHERENS model. This model is a three-dimensional hydrodynamic model. Simulation of currents was carried out in 20 sigma levels from the seabed to the water surface during one month. It was assumed that the variations of seawater temperature and salinity, four main tidal constituents and the regional wind were the most effective factors in the numerical simulation. Finally, sensitivity analysis was carried out for each factor and the outputs of simulation were verified using the field data recorded by the experts from Iranian National Center for Oceanography. Very good agreements were found between the numerical results and the field data.
