  • IN IRAN Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green Fulfillment
    HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF BROADCASTING IN IRAN Bigan Kimiachi A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY June 1978 © 1978 BI GAN KIMIACHI ALL RIGHTS RESERVED n iii ABSTRACT Geophysical and geopolitical pecularities of Iran have made it a land of international importance throughout recorded history, especially since its emergence in the twentieth century as a dominant power among the newly affluent oil-producing nations of the Middle East. Nearly one-fifth the size of the United States, with similar extremes of geography and climate, and a population approaching 35 million, Iran has been ruled since 1941 by His Majesty Shahanshah Aryamehr. While he has sought to restore and preserve the cultural heritage of ancient and Islamic Persia, he has also promoted the rapid westernization and modernization of Iran, including the establishment of a radio and television broadcasting system second only to that of Japan among the nations of Asia, a fact which is little known to Europeans or Americans. The purpose of this study was to amass and present a comprehensive body of knowledge concerning the development of broadcasting in Iran, as well as a review of current operations and plans for future development. A short survey of the political and spiritual history of pre-Islamic and Islamic Persia and a general survey of mass communication in Persia and Iran, especially from the Il iv advent of the telegraph is presented, so that the development of broadcasting might be seen in proper perspective and be more fully appreciated.

Received: September 2 2013 Accepted: October 10 2013 ABSTRACT Many climatic indices have been presented for investigation of comfort and its impact on human tourism activity which are used in bio-climatic studies. Temperature-physiologic combinational indices which are based upon human body energy balance are more valid than other indices. In the present research, synoptic and climatic stations were used inside and outside Khuzestan province over 1991-2008 and were obtained from irimo.ir. data was obtained from 23 synoptic stations and mean of each of the factors was calculated and PET index and PMT index were used to investigate appropriate time for tourists visit to Khuzestan province. Results showed that climatic comfort period in Khuzestan province is in November and March and March has a more ideal condition than November. KEYWORDS: PET and PMT indices, Khuzestan province, tourists INTRODUCTION Climate is the most important element of our surroundings and is one of the main factors of changing earth face. Floods, slow rivers, jungles, dry areas, and generally all life symbols like water supply, buildings shape, agricultural activities, lifestyle and thousands of other items are directly related to climate and its elements.

    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.
