A thesis submitted to the Univ,ersity of Durham for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 1983 TO THE MEMORY OF MY FATHER ABSTRACT In this research a geographical analysis has been made of the rural economy in the margin of Dasht-e-Kawir Central Iran* In this region, as in all.rural areas, two groups of factors affect the rural economy; physical and socio-economic. Severe physical conditions, e.g. arid-zone climate, shortage of water, saline soils and limitation of cultivable land, have restricted the agricultural development in the region. The main objective in the study of the physical conditions, is to recognize the areas capability for agric• ultural development and the influence of environmental conditions on the socio-economic factors. The severity of physical factors has encouraged the development of the craft industry in the area in general, and in the Abuzaid- Abad in particular. Thus over 50% of the rural income is derived from the carpet making industry, in which women provide the labour. However, the rural economy in the area can not be assessed without examining the impact of the physical upon the socio-economic factors. In this study the two groups of factors have been investigated separately. In attempting to help the agricultural development, to increase the villagers' income and to improve rural welfare in the region, the complete set of factors must be analysed to identify the strongest correlation between them which is relevant to the above purposes. In chapters one to four the physical factors have been discussed. Chapters five to ten are concerned with socio• economic and technical factors. In chapter eleven the rural income has been described. , The conclusions summarise the most significant general findings of this study besides suggesting some further research for the future. 11 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis could not have been completed without extensive help which I have received from numerous people.

The dikes clearly follow faults which trend mainly N50-70W and N20-40W. Their thicknesses vary from 1 cm to 3 m and their contacts with the host granitic rocks are sharp without any extensive contact metamorphism which may be due to the lack of magmatic fluids. The Jebal-E-Barez mafic dikes contain plagioclase, clinopyroxene and amphibole as major minerals and overall show porphyritic texture, but intergranular, ophitic and subophitic textures are also visible. The amphiboles are classified mainly as paragasite and tschermakite. These are magmatic, as indicated by Si content of the studied mafic dikes. Based on Al-in-hornblende geothermobarometry, average crystallization pressures are estimated from 5.25 to 7.07 kbar and temperatures from 867 to 872 °C.

It is well-documented that standard amounts of fluoride in drinking- water can decrease the rate of dental caries. This study was conducted with the aim of measuring fluoride concentration of drinking-water supplies and urban distribution system in Qom, Iran. Materials and Methods: Results were subsequently compared against national and international standards. All sources of drinking-water of rural and urban areas were examined. To measure fluoride, the standard SPADNS method and a DR/4000s spectrophotometer were used . Results: Results showed that the mean of fluoride concentration in rural areas, mainly supplied with groundwater sources, was 0.41 mg/L, that of the urban distribution system 0.82 mg/L, that of Ali-Abad station 0.11 mg/L, and that of the private water desalination system 0.24 mg/L.

Abstract The 1979 Islamic Revolution of Iran was based and formed upon the concept of Khomeinism, the religious, political, and social ideas of Ayatullah Ruhollah Khomeini. While the Iranian revolution was carried out with the slogans of independence, freedom, and Islamic Republic, Khomeini's framework gave it a specific impetus for the unity of people, religious culture, and leadership. Khomeinism was not just an effort, on a religious basis, to alter a national system. It included and was dependent upon the projection of a clash beyond a “national” struggle, including was a clash of ideology with that associated with the United States. Analysing the Iran-US relationship over the past century and Khomeini’s interpretation of it, this thesis attempts to show how the Ayatullah projected "America" versus Iranian national freedom and religious pride.

  • Petrology of Eocene Volcanic Rocks in NE of Ordib (NE of Isfahan Province)
    Archive of SID Vol. 17, No. 4, Winter 1388/2010 Petrology of Eocene volcanic rocks in NE of Ordib (NE of Isfahan Province) Gh. Torabi*, N. Shirdashtzadeh Department of Geology, Faculty of Scinces University of Isfahan (Received: 20/2/2009, in revised form: 9/6/2009) Abstract: Eocene volcanic rocks in NE of Ordib, have a very good exposures near and along the Turkmeni-Ordib fault. These rocks, that are situated in the inner part of the Central Iran and margin of the Yazd block, comprise trachyte, trachy-andesite and basaltic trachy-andesite. Trachy-andesite is the pervasive rock unit. Rock forming minerals of these rocks are chloritized olivine, plagioclase, pyroxene, mica, amphibole, K-feldspar, quartz, ilmenite, magnetite and calcite. The most important mineralogical characteristics of the studied trachy-andesites are wide range of minerals in one rock sample, including two types of clinopyroxene, mica, plagioclase, sanidine, formation of reactionic clinopyroxene and calcite around the quartz, and oscillatory zoning of feldspars and amphiboles. Chemistry of clinopyroxenes and biotites with whole rock geochemical analyses, reveal that these rocks are similar to the continental volcanic arc rocks. Petrography and mineral chemistry demonstrate the magma mixing occurrence in formation of these rocks.
