    Proceedings of the 2010 International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Operations Management Dhaka, Bangladesh, January 9 – 10, 2010 Model for Forecasting Passenger of Airport Farzane Ahmadzade Department of Industrial Engineering Islamic Azad University of Karaj Branch Karaj, Tehran, Iran Abstract This research forecasts the growth of air traffic in one of int’l airport. It actually estimates the growth of air traffic with the trend model, and then the growth is forecasted by monthly air traffic and time series data. To estimate the coefficient of the model in general econometric methods use the time series data, it is suggested that the data should be stationary, otherwise false regression would be probable. Then before using, the data (variables), the data should be tested so as to be stationary. However, there are different methods to make data stationary such as Drawing Diagram and Augmented Dickey- Fuller Test (ADF), which were used in this dissertation. Finally, the estimation is base on the fifth month, namely (Mordad). Keywords forecasting , Augmented Dickey Fuller Test (ADF),time series, stationary. 1. Introduction Civil Aviation, through a complicated interaction with other econometric sectors, benefits from and contributes to the economic development of all nations. As incomes and production level increase, the demand for aviation services expands. Therefore prospective tourism, trade and employment could be forecasted as well. Civil Aviation is an important instrument in economic development, and air transport also provides an intangible benefits by facilitating the international treaties and understanding. On the other, the role of air transport as a catalyst for general economic and social development is due to the expedition and flexibility, which has been provided by the global air transport system.

    Consumer Price Index in the Month of Mordad of the Year 13991 Increase in National Point-to-Point Inflation Rate Point-to-Point Inflation rate refers to the percentage change in the price index in comparison with the corresponding month in the previous year. The point-to-point inflation rate in the month of Mordad2 of the year 1399 stood at 30.4 percent, that is to say, that the national households spent, on average, 30.4 percent higher than the month of Mordad of the year 1398 for purchasing “the same goods and services”. Moreover, in this month, the point-to-point inflation rate experienced a 3.5 percentage point increase in comparison with the previous month (Tir, the year 1399). The point-to-point inflation rate for the major groups of "food, beverages and tobacco" and "non-food items and services" were 26.0 percent (with a 5.0 percentage point increase) and 32.6 percent (with a 2.8 percentage point increase), respectively. This is while the point-to-point inflation rate for urban households stood at 30.6 percent, which has increased by 3.6 percentage points in comparison with the previous month. Moreover, this rate was 29.6 percent for rural households which increased by 3.7 percentage points in comparison with the previous month.

  • RIVIVAL of the ANCIENT ZARATHUSHTI CALENDAR 3753 Ze
    UNIFIED ZARATHUSHTI CALENDAR RIVIVAL OF THE ANCIENT ZARATHUSHTI CALENDAR 3753 ze “I learn about and work with the solar year, the righteous period”. Yasna Ha1.9, Ha 3.11, Ha 4.14 THE ANCIENT MAZDIYASNI CALENDAR updated by Zarathushtra was the most accurate calendar that has ever existed in the civilized world to this day. The year always started with the Vernal Equinox whereby the leap year was automatically taken care of. Its accuracy was further strengthened by dividing into months the number of days of each individual season marked by the position of the earth in its orbit round the sun. The proof of this is in the four festivals that are celebrated to this day. 1- Vernal Equinox the beginning of Spring as New Year – Now Rooz 2- Summer Solstice the beginning of Summer as Tirgan 3- Autumnal Equinox the beginning of Fall as Mehregan 4- Winter Solstice the beginning of winter as Yalda (Deygan) These four positions and the four seasons although they may seem to be of equal length, in reality they are not equal. The path of the earth around the sun is such that it does not divide the time taken to travel, from one position to another, into four equal parts as one would ordinarily believe. In fact none of the four parts are equal. Spring has 92.8 days, Summer 93.6 days Autumn 89.9 days and winter 88.9 days. Each individually divided works out to 31 days each for the first six months, the next 5 months of 30 days and the last month of the balance of the days before the Vernal Equinox which is 29 and automatically 30 every fourth years.

  • The Development of Iranian Calendar Historical and Astronomical
    The development of Iranian calendar: historical and astronomical foundations Musa Akrami Department of Philosophy of Science Islamic Azad University - Science and Research Branch of Tehran Tehran, Iran E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The official Iranian calendar is a solar one that in both the length and the first day of its year is based not on convention, but on two natural (i.e. astronomical) factors: a) the moment of coincidence of the centre of the Sun and the vernal equinox during the Sun’s apparent revolution around the Earth; and b) the time length between two successive apparent passages of the Sun’s center across that point. These factors give this calendar the chance that 1) its beginning is the beginning of natural solar year, 2) its length is the length of solar year, and 3) the length of its months is very close to the time of the Sun’s passage across twelve signs of the Zodiac from Farvardin/Aries to Esfand/Pisces. In this paper it would be shown that a) discussions concerning these facts have their own historical backgrounds, and b) up-to-date computations, being based on choosing the tropical year (i.e. 365.24219879 days) as the length of the calendar year, give the best possible intercalation with its specific system of leap years. Thus, on the grounds of historical documents, astronomical data, and mathematical calculations, we establish the Iranian calendar with the highest possible accuracy, which gives it the unique exemplary place among all calendars.

  • 2 Mehr and Mehregan
    MEHREGAN - MEHR 2 Mehr and Mehregan Pireyeh Yaghmaii Writer and Poet o Mehr! As we have not been amongst Mehr-Dorujansl free us from needs, from all needs. You have the power to prevail, fear and worry over the bodies of the Mehr-Dorujans. You have the might, when you are angry, to take away: their strength of arms their energy of knees, their sight of eyes, and the hearing of their ears (Mehr-Yasht, vi, 23).2 Ancient Persians believed happiness to be a grace from Ahura-Mazda and sadness an evil from the Devil. Happiness was so dear to them that the Achaemenian kings saw it in unity with the creation of the heavens and the Earth, as was engraved at the beginning of their tablets: Ahura-Mazda is the great Lord who created this Earth and created that sky and created the human being and created happiness for human beings. The ancient Persians did not even mourn the death of people and considered mourning and grieving a great sin, and struggled for happiness; they used every occasion as an excuse to celebrate.3 The ancient Persians did not observe week days. They had twelve months of 30 days each, in which every day had a name.4 They regarded the extra five days at the end of the year as celebration days, called andargah. Within the 30 day cycle there were twelve days, each named after the months. when the name of the day coincided with the name of the month, that day was celebrated and special events were organized.
