Exactly 20 years ago Iran joined IBO family and since then has been an active member of all past competitions. In the last year, our dreams came true and we were the host of 29th International Bi- ology Olympiad. Saman Hosseinkhani Chairman of IBO2018 For 2 years, before IBO 2018, my colleagues in the scientific and exec- utive committees worked hard to prepare all required materials and equipment for practical tasks and design of theoretical questions. Three major Iranian universities including Tarbiat Modares University, University of Tehran and Shahid Beheshti University had major scien- tific contributions. Although students were here for competition there is one thing be- yond the competition, friendship. I’m sure our students started strong friendships in order to make the future scientific collaborative network. I have to thank more than 200 scientific committee members, scien- tific assistants and organizers who have worked hard, day and night, in order to bring the dream of IBO 2018 into life.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Özgür Dinçyürek Chair, Department of Architecture We certify that we have read this thesis and that in our opinion it is fully adequate in scope and quality as a thesis for the degree of Master of Science in Architecture. Asst. Prof. Dr. Rafooneh Mokhtarshahi Sani Supervisor Examining Committee 1. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Türkan Uraz 2. Asst. Prof. Dr. Nazife Özay 3. Asst. Prof. Dr. Rafooneh M. Sani ABSTRACT Monumental architecture is reservoir of memories which can stand as symbol of the cities and even countries with the embedded meaning in their form and operation. This kind of structures can link the past and the future like the rings of a chain. In addition they have the potential to create and support the identity of a nation. The glory, dignity, culture, tradition and thoroughly the history of a nation can represent through the monumental structures. These structures can have variety of types including historical buildings or complexes, modern structures with advanced technology, landmarks, etc. Since during the last decades, identity crisis has been a major problem for contemporary architecture, the aim of this study is to survey the relation between national identity and monumental buildings and to recognize how monumental buildings contribute to create national identity.

  • A Study of Variation in Singapore Cats
    VOLUME 56 MAY 1959 NVMBER 2 A STUDY OF VARIATION IN SINGAPORE CATS Bv A. G. SEARLE Deparlmetzt of Zoology, University o,f Malaya, Singapore* (Received 3iay 30ltz, 1957) ~[NTIRODUGTION The domestic cat can, for several reasons, be regarded as very suitable material for work on population genetics. It is polymorphic for coat colour, pattern, and various other :characters; moreover the genetics of this variation is fairly well understood. It is common in large cities throughout the world, where it is usually divided into two social groups with little mrtual intercourse. Show-cats comprise the smaller group; 'the}' are ,carefully bred and selected by, fancier's for exhibition purposes and are therefore much subject to human interference. The other larger and more heterogeneous group can .be called "alley-cats", including ordinary house-cats and feral or gear-feral "strays". These m'e commonly regarded as domesticated, yet they are much less dependent on man .than most animals of this category; so the?, can, in my opinion, be treated in man?, ways as natural populations. London alley-cats, for instance, appear to mate at random (Searle, 194-9), which suggests that human influence on their choice of mates is negligible. Human selection is exercised almost entirely by keeping some kittens and discarding others. Those discarded may be kiIled or just left by the wayside to fend for them- selves, adding to the feral group if they survive. In much of Europe, but less commonly in Asia, human selection also operates by sterilising a high proportion of aduh males and some females too.
