Examining the Evolution of the Khuzestan Urban Population Using the Urban Primacy Indexes
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC & TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH VOLUME 6, ISSUE 12, DECEMBER 2017 ISSN 2277-8616 Examining The Evolution Of The Khuzestan Urban Population Using The Urban Primacy Indexes Mokhtar Karami, Rasol Sarvestan, Ali Mohammad Mansourzadeh Abstract: Examining the status of a city in the surrounding metropolitan area network not only helpful for Specialists to understand the ups and downs of city life and surrounding it ,but also can set the groundwork for hierarchical relationships settlements and planners for discipline the urban network is studied. Research to study the evolution of the urban population in Khuzestan province was conducted during the statistical period (1957-2012). The method is a descriptive and analytical study. To collect the data, in addition the study of literature, the Facts Sheet (the statistical yearbooks and census of population and housing censuses in all courses) has been used. Then to enter data and analysis it the Excel and Minitab software was used. Models used in this study are Ginsberg index, Urban Primacy Index, Two City Index, Four City Index, Mehta’s Four City Index, Moomav and Alwosabi. The results show that is balance between the parameters of the Urban Primacy Indexes in Khuzestan province since 1957 to 1977. The process of balancing continue and is destroy until the beginning of the Imposed war and the depletion of the population of cities and in 1987 the Urban Primacy Index reached its highest level and due to the problems of the war in Ahvaz it earns the highest the Urban Primacy Index. Since 1987, the Urban Primacy Index reduced and their balancing process continues until 2012 that this balancing process due to natural population growth since after 1997.

Tafoni Phenomena in the Kerman Province of Iran: Short Description and Pictures
Geo-Eco-Trop., 2014, 38, 2 : 289-304 Tafoni phenomena in the Kerman Province of Iran: Short description and pictures Brève description avec illustrations photographiques de phénomènes Tafoni dans la province de Kerman en Iran Iradj ESCHGHI (*) Résumé : La formation de tafoni dans la province de Kerman en Iran est présentée pour la première fois dans la note brève ci-après avec une galerie de photos illustrative. Les tafoni représentés se développent en plusieurs endroits dans différents matériaux rocheux: du basalte dans le désert de Lut, un champ volcanique du Plateau de Gandom Beryan, de l’andésite dans la grotte d’Ayub près de la ville de Dehaj, du tuf volcanique dans le village de Marj et du grès près de la ville de Hojedk. Mots-clés: Iran, Province de Kerman, Formation de Tafoni, Différents matériaux rocheux Abstract: Tafoni formation in the Kerman province of Iran is described for the first time in this paper illustrated by a pictures gallery. Tafoni develop in lots of areas in different rock types such as: basalt in the Lut desert, volcanic field of the Gandom Beryan Plateau , andesite in the Ayub cave near the town of Dehaj , tuff near the village of Marj and sandstone near the town of Hojedk Keywords: Iran, Kerman province, Tafoni formation, Various rock types INTRODUCTION Because of thermal changes, mineral decomposition, water and wind action, and salt weathering, natural cavities called Tafoni develop in various (granular) rock types. These cavities are of different forms: spherical, ellipsoidal, kidney-shaped, pan to bowl shaped… The origin of the word tafoni is uncertain; maybe it is derived from the Corsican dialect “tafone” and is synonymous with window (KLAER 1956).

Evaluation of Qualitative Land Suitability for Two Crops in Part of Fars State
J. Appl. Environ. Biol. Sci., 5(2)71-75, 2015 ISSN: 2090-4274 Journal of Applied Environmental © 2015, TextRoad Publication and Biological Sciences www.textroad.com Evaluation of Qualitative Land Suitability for Two Crops in part of Fars State Mahmood Reza Sadikhani1* Young Researchers and Elite Club, Khorramabad Branch, Islamic Azad University, Khorramabad, Iran Received: October 11, 2014 Accepted: December 15, 2014 ABSTRACT Qualitative land suitability of Two Crops in part of Fars state was done via some control profiles. The region of Saadat Shahr with the areaofapproximately14260hectares is limited to about 80km northeast of Shirazbetween52degreesand 51minutesto 53degrees 13minuteseast longitude and30degrees and 30degrees9minutesnorth latitude. The results indicated relatively good classes and critical suitability. Storie method is preferable because it deals with numbers and can be considered semi-quantitative manner than the simple constraints approach. KEYWORDS: Qualitative land suitability, Suitability class, environment, soil, wheat and maize. INTRODUCTION Soil is one of the blessings of God that should be kept properly in order to remain for the future generations. One of the important aspects of soil science is land suitability that is of great importance to sustainable development because it produces the agricultural or horticultural products with more functions and therefore more profit. On the other hand, it reduces the environmental hazards such as soil erosion, soil contamination, and soil salinity and et cetera by selecting the best product in the fields. Undoubtedly when a suitable product is selected by considering all aspects of planting, it is one of the crucial factors in sustainable development and environmental protection. Land evaluation may be defined as “the process of evaluating the role of land when it is used for a specific purpose." and it includes all methods that predict the potential ability of using lands.

Post-Collisional Plio-Pleistocene Adakitic Volcanism in Centeral Iranian Volcanic Belt:Geochemical and Geodynamic Implications
Journal of Sciences, Islamic Republic of Iran 19(3): 223-235 (2008) http://jsciences.ut.ac.ir University of Tehran, ISSN 1016-1104 Post-Collisional Plio-Pleistocene Adakitic Volcanism in Centeral Iranian Volcanic Belt:Geochemical and Geodynamic Implications G. Ghadami,1,* A.M. Shahre Babaki,1 and M. Mortazavi2 1Department of Geology, Faculty of Science, University of Shahid Bahonar, 76175-133 Kerman, Islamic Republic of Iran 2Department of Geology, Faculty of Science University of Hormozgan, 3995 Bandar Abass, Islamic Republic of Iran Abstract In the Central IranianVolcanic Belt (CIVB), north-west of Shahre-Babak, in the area of Javazm, Dehaj and khabr, about 60 subvolcanic porphyritic dacitic to rhyodacitic domes (1-10 km2) are intruded into a variety of rock sequences from Mesozoic to Early Miocene in age. These rocks are a part of Dehaj-Sardoieh belt. The CIVB contains intrusive and extrusive rocks of Cretaceous-Quaternary age. Geochemical data indicate that the subalkalic dacitic to rhyodacitic rocks have an adakitic composition with Na2o/K2o (1.8-3.16), high Sr (584-1750 ppm), Mg # = (0.18-0.57) and low Y (7-10 ppm), low Yb (0.65-1.29 ppm), and low HREE. Fractionated REE patterns, (Ce/Yb)N = 10-27, absence of negative Eu anomal, low content of Y, Nb, Ti, and high Sr/Y (74-265) and (Ce/Yb)N ratios suggest that the source was probably hydrous garnet-amphibolite or amphibole-eclogite, possibly generated during subduction of the Neo-Tethyan oceanic slab beneath the Central Iran microplate.The adakitic volcanism was followed by eruption of alkaline magmatism in this area.

In all, 22 species were recorded for the first time from Iran and 34 species from Fars province. Erynniopsis antennata (Rondani, 1861) was reared for the first time on the host Diorhabda elongate (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae). Key words: Diptera, Tachinidae, Iran, Fars, distribution Introduction The most reliable characters for recognizing a The family Tachinidae forms the largest and one tachinid fly are the presence of hypopleural (meral) of the most diverse families of flies (Diptera, bristles and the well-developed sub-scutellum.

Worldwide, this family comprises more Members of the family are often conspicuously bristly, than 8000 described species in 4 subfamilies: whilst others, especially many species from the Exoristinae, Tachininae, Dexiinae, and Phasiinae subfamily Phasiinae, are often quite bare. The larvae (Herting, 1984). The actual number of the family is live as endoparasitoids in Arthropoda, almost much larger, as the Neotropical, Afrotropical, exclusively in insects. Insects known as tachinid hosts Oriental, and Australasian regions are not well studied belong to 11 orders, and Lepidoptera caterpillars serve and contain large numbers of undescribed species as hosts for the majority of species.
