The gastronomy festival also features foods of various Iranian nomads and tribes, The World`s Only Print Tourism Newspaper ISNA reported. Iranian cooking can be seen as a metaphor for the country itself: It’s tart, sweet, fragrant and vastly complex. It’s one of the world’s oldest, yet largely ob- scure, culinary landscapes, with roots dating back to the Persian Empire. Experts say that food is not merely an organic product with biochemical compositions. Yazd Festival However, for members of each community, food is defined as a cultural element. Organized in close collaboration with the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Offering Local Organization, the festival will be running through August 16.

  • A Comprehensive Framework in Sustainability Assessment of Agricultural Exploitation Systems
    Space Economy & Rural Development Vol. 15 Spring 2016 1 A Comprehensive Framework in Sustainability Assessment of Agricultural Exploitation Systems Shahpar Geravandi Ph.D. Candidate of Agriculture Development, Faculty of Agriculture, Razi University, Kermanshah. Iran. Abdol Hamid Popzan Associate Prof, Faculty of Agriculture, Razi University Kermanshah, Kermanshah, Iran. Received: 10.Aug.2014 Accepted: 15.Oct.2015 Introduction Lack of a comprehensive framework is one of the most important challenges in sustainability assessment of Agricultural Exploitation Systems. This is the reason of tunnel vision in many researches in the field of sustainability. The history of Agricultural Exploitation Systems in Iran is back to thousands years ago, when ancient Iranian tried to domesticate wild animals and cereals in Iran. So, Agricultural Exploitation Systems are one of the fundamental issues in Iran’s agriculture section and these systems are of great importance in agricultural development of the country and even in urban development. Studies show that since very beginning, governments focused their attention on this system because of its potentials and capabilities such as production, job creation, and generating income and this caused major changes and development. According to the performed studies, there are different frameworks for sustainability assessment of Agricultural Exploitation Systems. Most of these frameworks consider the sustainability issue not holistically and try to investigate the sustainability issue just in economic, social and environmental dimensions. In these frameworks, some dimensions of sustainability are highlighted, while highlighting some dimensions is in contradiction to holistic view in sustainability assessment. Therefore, this study aims to introduce those frameworks that are related to sustainability assessment of Agricultural Exploitation Systems and considers their inefficiencies and it also aims to introduce a comprehensive framework.

Arsenic is a toxic element that will be created m any complications in human body. Our goal is to check arsenic levels in drinking water sources in the cities of South Khorasan in this study. Sampling was done in 1 liter polyethylene containers according to standard conditions by the experts were trained in environmental health. Samples were transferred to the laboratory and related tests were performed in accordance to recommended standards and atomic absorption system with graphite furnace method. Results were consistent with national and international standards and were judged about the status of water resources. The arsenic average was determined 0.01 ± 0.0059 with a minimum of zero and a maximum of 0.053 in 84 samples in this study. Arsenic levels are more than allowable maximum in Sarbisheh and Sarayan cities. The lowest arsenic in drinking water sources was observed in Nehbandan City (zero) and the highest arsenic in Sarbisheh City (x= 0.036). The average of arsenic levels was significantly lower than the standard in the cities of Birjand, Ferdows, Ghaen and Boshruyh. Except of Sarbisheh ans Sarayan that arsenic levels are more than allowable maximum, arsenic levels has not gone beyond the allowable maximum in other cities.

  • The Freshwater Fishes of Iran Redacted for Privacy Hs Tract Approved: Dr
    AN ABSTRPCT OF THE THESIS OF Neil Brant Anuantzout for the degree of Dcctor of Philosophy in Fisheries presented on 2 Title: The Freshwater Fishes of Iran Redacted for Privacy hs tract approved: Dr. Carl E. Bond The freshwater fish fauna of Iran is representedby 3 classes, 1 orders, 31 familIes, 90 genera, 269species and 58 subspecIes. This includes 8 orders, 10 families, 14 generaand 33 species with marine representatives that live at least partof the tixne in freshwater. Also included are one family, 7 genera,9 species and 4 subspecies introduced into Iran. Overhalf the species and nearly half the genera are in the family Cypririidae; over75% of the genera and species are in the orderCypriniformes. The fish fauna may be separated into threemajor groups. The largest and nst diverse is the Sannatian Fauna,which includes the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan, Lake Bezaiyeh, Rhorasan,Isfahan, Dashte-Kavir, and the four subbasins of the Namak LakeBasins. Of the fish found in Iran, 14 of 31 earnilies, 48 of 90 genera,127 of 269 species and 46 of 58 subspecies are found in theSarmatian Fauna. Endemisa is low, and nstly expressed at the subspecific level.The fauna contains marine relicts from the Sannatian Sea and recentinmigrants with strong relationships to the fishes of Europe, the Black Seaand northern Asia. The marine relicts are absent outside the Caspian Sea Basin, where the fauna is best described as a depauperate extensionof the Caspian and Aral Sea faunas. The second major fauna is the Nesopotamian Fauna,and includes the Tigris and Euphrates river Basins, the Karun1iver Basin, and the Kol, nd, Maliarlu, Neyriz and Lar Basins.

  • Study of Micro-Textures and Chemistry of Feldspar Minerals of East Sarbisheh Volcanic Complex (Eastern Iran), for Evidence of Magma Chamber Process
    Iranian Journal of Earth Sciences IJES Vol. 12, No. 1, 2020, 10-31. Study of micro-textures and chemistry of feldspar minerals of East Sarbisheh volcanic complex (Eastern Iran), for evidence of magma chamber process Mahboobeh Jamshidibadr*1, Sahar Tarabi2, Kazem Gholizadeh3 1. Geology Department, Payame Noor University, 19395-4697 Tehran, Iran 2. Young Researchers and Elites club, Science and Research Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran 3. Iran minerals processing research center (IMPRC), Karaj, Iran Received 15 April 2019; accepted 22 August 2019 Abstract The Eocene-Oligocene Sarbisheh volcanic complex is a part of the Lut-Sistan Zone that outcrops in eastern Iran. In the east of this complex, three groups of volcanic rocks (i.e., andesite, dacite, and rhyolite) exist. Plagioclase as the main mineral of these rocks is found with varying micro-textures. Based on a changing trend in the concentration of anorthite, the developed micro-textures (coarse/fine-sieve, fine-scale oscillatory zoning, and resorption surfaces) are not affected by the chemical composition of the magma. Rather, such changes can occur by temperature variations during magma crystallization or H2O fugacity changes in the magmatic system. The recharge of basic magma leads to a temperature rise, partial melting of the central part of the crystal, and formation of sieve texture, and resorption surfaces. Consequently, the chemical changes of magma in the chamber cause the formation of An- enrichment in the outer layer of the plagioclase crystal and formation of oscillatory zoning. In addition, the morphological micro- textures (i.e., glomerocryst, synneusis, swallow-tailed, microlite, and broken crystals) are developed by the influence of dynamic behavior of the crystallizing magma and magmatic differentiation.
