Accordingly the need for recycling and reducing mechanisms in waste production and landfilling is beingtaken more into consideration day by day.Separation at source by citizens and creating motives for their higher contribution are of the most beneficial mechanisms in reusing dry solid waste. As an instance daily production of 15 tons of paper in the city of Mashhadrequires studies and creating appropriate approaches to encourage citizens and implementing waste sortingin this city more than ever. One of the measures taken by Mashhad Municipality in this field is establishing stations for solid waste exchange in order to enable receiving and proper use of municipal non-corrupt materials.Thus the present article tries to locate such stations by consideringmeasures of population, accessibilities, waste physical analysis of municipality districts,determining the proper distance with other stationswith GIS software. The findings of the present study suggests 1, 8,9 and 11 as the suitable place for establishing the new waste collection stations.

INTRODUCTION Rapid population growth and increase in production of consumable as a result of progress and development in the recent years have led to daily increase of municipal waste.Development of industries, expansion of urbanization have madethe collecting issue, landfilling or reusing the municipal waste, a serious problem (Rafie’e et al., 2011). The fact that Iranian municipal waste management system is in critical condition and far from the desired condition is notconcealed to anyone (pour Ahmad, 2008). Recycling dry and usable materials of waste is one of the most desiredmechanisms of waste management, which results in less environmental pollution and incomes gained from recycling in addition to saving costs of reproduction and landfilling of such consumables. In fact Management and recycling solid waste is of crucial importance because of reducing the current waste amount and weight, easier method of collection and landfilling and the possibility of reusing materials in a more profitable way (Karimzadegan et al., 2005). Separation at source by citizens is one the most beneficial methods among recycling mechanisms in reusing dry waste. The separation at source plan began in 1999 in Mashhad and its developing process during the past 12 years has started from collecting dry waste from citizens’ house in 1999 and currently includes activities such as collecting offices’ paper waste by installing special containers, establishing stations for paper waste exchange with book purchase tickets and stationary, waste exchange stations with goods at schools, permanent dry waste exchange throughout the city and organizing and controlling traditional recyclers (Kazemi, 2011).According to statistics in Mashhad in 2010 around 650 thousand tons of waste were produced of which about 76% include home waste that around 2.5% of which are separated at source. It refers to low level of recycling activities in Mashhad and highlights the need for better municipal waste management more than ever. Dry waste exchange stations is one of the separation at source mechanisms that was carried out 2008 by Municipal waste Management Organization in Mashhad. Implementing this mechanism enables recycling and proper use of non-corrupt materials in municipal waste and prevents unsanitaryrecycling of such materials by traditional recyclers in addition to encouraging citizens in separating production waste. Since development of this plan and its success requires accurate locating of waste bank stations based on cultural, social and economic qualities of each district, the current study attemptsin locating dry waste exchange stations in the city of Mashhad byGIS. The studies show that locating waste bank stations received minute attention despite their importance in municipal waste separation and recycling and majority of the researches carried out have attempted in locating proper landfills. In this field it can be referred to studies done by MoeinO’dini et al. (2012), Motakan et al. (2009), Poorahmad et al. (2008), KhorshidDoust&Adeli (2010),SeyhaniPorshokooh et al. (2012), Niknami&HafeziMoqadas (2011) and Ali akbari& Jamal Livani (2012) on locating landfills in cities of Karaj, Tabriz, Babolsar, Bonab, Holpaygan and Behshahr. Additionally it can be referred to Rafiee et al. (2011) on the contribution of Mashhadi families in separation at source plans. Due to the importance of waste bank stations in collecting municipal recyclable materials it is expected that this study functions as an introduction toward better planning and more accurate locating of permanent collecting stations, developing separation at source plan and spreading the culture of municipal waste separation. Regional setting The study area is the city of Mashhad. Mashhad is the second metropolitan city and also the largest religious city of Iran where due to the presence of the shrines of 8'th Imam of Shia has history of 1200-year.The city covers an area of over 300 km2and has a population of over 2.77 million persons in 1390 (Rahnama et al., 2013). Because of presence of 9642 Indian Journal Of Natural Sciences www.tnsroindia.org. © IJONS Vol.6 / Issue 31 / August 2015 International Bimonthly ISSN: 0976 – 0997 Rostam Saberifar et al. the shrine of Imam Reza (AS), Mashhad is the spiritual capital of Iran and the international excellent pilgrimage, which more than 20 million internal and foreign pilgrims and tourists will travel there every year (Saghayee et al, 2013).The tourism economy in Mashhad due to the continuing of pilgrims and tourists, has a special stability in terms of economic factors. Important factors such as the number of pilgrims and tourists, the number of residential accommodation, catering and travel units, catering and travel, the average stay of tourists and the presence of different tourism attractions in the city, has highlighted the role of the tourism economy in Mashhad. So that due to the dominance of the tourism economy in Mashhad, the typology of the economy indicates the correlation between the different sectors of the urban economy in the field of services to pilgrims and tourists, and economic functions of Mashhad developed in providing needed services to tourists and pilgrims (Rahnama et al, 2013). And it can be concluded that with population increase, the amount of waste delivered to stations increases MATERIALS AND METHODS Firstly permanent dry waste exchange stations in 2012were determined separately in each district on a map of the city of Mashhad. Each station’s levels of income and people’s reference were considered as the measures of success in achieving people’s contribution.Several information levels based on measures such as education level, population, districts level of development, the proportion of dry waste to total waste (as a measure of people’s welfare in a district), accessibility network, activities of the traditional group, the distance between existing stations from each other and also people’s willingness toward contribution in this plan were created and the effectiveness of such indexes on waste stations’ income and contribution in order to locate new stations were considered.The distances between the stations were considered by Thiessen’spolygons and the effective radius of each station and locating in disadvantaged spaces and with lower density was determined by using GIS. In this regard after establishing the data bank and carried out studies, the indexes that have a direct association with rising contribution level were determined and their effectiveness were weighed by experts and by GIS analytical functions, the suitable spots for new stations were determined. The data used in the present study were collectedthrough library-based research and interviewing with experts in waste management plan of Mashhad city in 2012.In this regard the data concerning education indexes and population was taken from population records of Mashhad, districts’ development level from the study done by Shahnooshi et al. (2007), physical analysis of dry waste from Recycling Organization and also traditional efforts and people’s willingness toward contribution in

Biogeographic relict, extinction risk, global warming, species richness, sub-alpine prairies Abstract. During the last few decades the tree line has shifted upward on Mediterranean mountains. This has resulted in a decrease in the area of the sub-alpine prairie habitat and an increase in the threat to strictly orophilous moths that occur there. This also occurred on the Pollino Massif due to the increase in temperature and decrease in rainfall in Southern Italy. We found that a number of moths present in the alpine prairie at 2000 m appear to be absent from similar habitats at 1500–1700 m. Some of these species are thought to be at the lower latitude margin of their range. Among them, Pareulype berberata and Entephria flavicinctata are esti- mated to be the most threatened because their populations are isolated and seem to be small in size. The tops of these mountains are inhabited by specialized moth communities, which are strikingly different from those at lower altitudes on the same massif further south. The majority of the species recorded in the sub-alpine prairies studied occur most frequently and abundantly in the core area of the Pollino Massif.

After introductions and some background to the geology and floral elements in the Burren from Brian (stressing the Mediterranean component of the flora after a day’s Mediterranean heat and sun), we made our way to the Rathbaun, for some substantial and tasty local food and our first taste of Irish music from the three young ladies of Ceolan, and their energetic four-hour performance (not sure any of us had the stamina to stay to the end). Day 2: 8th June: Poulsallach At 9am we were collected by Tony, our driver from Glynn’s Coaches for the week, and following a half-hour drive we arrived at a coastal stretch of species-rich limestone pavement which represented the perfect introduction to the Burren’s flora: a stunningly beautiful mix of coastal, Mediterranean, Atlantic and Arctic-Alpine species gathered together uniquely in a natural rock garden. First impressions were of patchy grassland, sparkling with heath spotted- orchids Dactylorhiza maculata ericetorum and drifts of the ubiquitous and glowing-purple bloody crane’s-bill Geranium sanguineum, between bare rock. A closer look revealed a diverse and colourful tapestry of dozens of flowers - the yellows of goldenrod Solidago virgaurea, kidney-vetch Anthyllis vulneraria, and bird’s-foot trefoil Lotus corniculatus (and its attendant common blue butterflies Polyommatus Icarus), pink splashes of wild thyme Thymus polytrichus and the hairy local subspecies of lousewort Pedicularis sylvatica ssp.

E-mail: [email protected] The paper contains data on the fauna of the Lepidoptera families Erebidae (excluding subfamilies Lymantriinae and Arctiinae) and Noctuidae of the Saur Mountains (East Kazakhstan). The check list includes 216 species. The map of collecting localities is presented. Key words: Lepidoptera, Noctuidae, Erebidae, Asia, Kazakhstan, Saur, fauna. INTRODUCTION The fauna of noctuoid moths (the families Erebidae and Noctuidae) of Kazakhstan is still poorly studied. Only the fauna of West Kazakhstan has been studied satisfactorily (Gorbunov 2011). On the faunas of other parts of the country, only fragmentary data are published (Lederer, 1853; 1855; Aibasov & Zhdanko 1982; Hacker & Peks 1990; Lehmann et al. 1998; Benedek & Bálint 2009; 2013; Korb 2013). In contrast to the West Kazakhstan, the fauna of noctuid moths of East Kazakhstan was studied inadequately.
