This study uses the two concepts of competitiveness and urban network to investigate the effective factors in the occurrence and intensification of inequalities in the urban network of Esfahan. In this regard, the changes and transformations of Esfahan urban network during three periods of 1375, 1385 and 1395 with regard to competitiveness indices and considering the distance Downloaded from iueam.ir at 12:41 +0430 on Thursday June 13th 2019 between cities (based on flow analysis method) and creation of competitiveness matrix, using urban network mapping In the social network analysis (Gephi) software is measured. In this way, for each concept at any given time, a separate network is plotted and analyzed. The results indicate that in the mentioned periods distribution of competitive ability as a stream of capital, labor, and information in the city-region of Esfahan has been unfair. As far as the metropolis of Esfahan with much difference, the gap in the urban hierarchy of city-regions Based on the concept of competitiveness. The second place in comparison with this view belongs to Najafabad and the third place belongs to Falavarjan. In addition, except for a few exceptions, the process of changing cities' competitiveness has been consistent with the process of changing the hierarchy of cities in the same time frame. Therefore, it can be said that the urban hierarchy pattern in the Esfahan urban network follows a competitive ranking.

Competitiveness and facilities a platform for struggle, battle, and competition absorb population just like magnitude and for power (Kamanroudi kajoori et al, 2010). caused an imbalance in the urban networks. This struggle and competition in the network The purpose of this research is to of developed cities has been accompanied trace the effects of the competitiveness on by an industrial revolution and, as a result, the Isfahan urban network transformation, the expansion of urban-rural relations and consisting of 37 cities approved by the development of urban networks, in all Isfahan city-region plan. Therefore, by economic, social, political, institutional collecting the variables of competitiveness and physical dimensions. While in the on the Isfahan urban network transformation developing countries which predominantly and tracing these indices during the have colonial past and still dominated by period of 1996, 2006 and 2016, and Western economic, political and cultural comparing them with the process of how backgrounds. The process of imbalance in the hierarchical changes of the Isfahan the urban network at the outset occurred city network during these periods of time, under economic and political domination the relationship between these two concepts or with the absence and insignificant is examined. The questions that this study impact of industrial development and so seeks to answer are as follows: hurried (Omidvar et al., 2009). This - What are the effective competitiveness acceleration and imbalance in the urban indices on Isfahan urban network networks has caused many problems in transformation? cities, like as the high density of populations - What is the impact of competitiveness in metropolitan, Marginalization, migration, on the hierarchy of Isfahan urban network fragmentation, and the emergence of (during the period of 1996, 2006 and 2016)? dormant cities and the loss of urban network balance.

  • Engineering and Structural Geology Evaluation of Khansar-Boien Miyandasht Tunnel
    Engineering and Structural Geology Evaluation of Khansar-Boien Miyandasht Tunnel Ghazaleh Edrisi M.Sc. Structural Geology and Tectonics The University of Damghan, Semnan, Iran e-mail: [email protected] Rassoul Ajalloeian Associate Professor The University of Isfahan, Isfahan, Iran e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Lack of geological and tectonical knowledge in a region causes hazard in project implementation. There are many examples related to this issue in Iran and the world. Main purpose of this research is to analyze the fractures because of their importance and effect on the implementation of engineering and civil engineering projects such as Khansar-Boien Miyandasht tunnel. For this purpose, the process and density of the fractures and their spatial-geometric position were investigated. Therefore, joints and faults in the Khansar syncline area and the site of Khansar–Boien Miyandasht tunnel were collected, then processed by interpreted in the software such as Stereo32 and Georient. According to the result, a group of joints can be related to pre-tectonics, another one can be related to syn-tectonics(folding and faulting) and some fractures are related to the post-tectonics. Geomechanically, syn-tectonic fractures are extensive in depth and these issues are very important, so it should be considered in implementing the project of Khansar tunnel. Results of the geological engineering study such as, uniaxial strength test, point loading, Schmidt hammer, and ultra-sonic Test were showed high-resistance massive orbitolina limestone , and alternation of shale , limestone , medium- resistance limestone and black slates include low resistance that lead to apply the supports with higher safety factor.

Methods: This study was conducted on neonates who were born from March 21, 2006 to March 20, 2011 and had undergone the congenital hypothyroidism (CH) screening program in counties affiliated to the Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. CH was diagnosed in 958 patients who treated with levothyroxine. The incidence rates of permanent and temporary congenital hypothyroidism in Isfahan province were calculated and their distribution was shown on the map. The space maps were drawn using the ArcGIS software version 9.3. Results: Based on the data obtained from the screening program, the average incidence of congenital hypothyroidism in the province during the period of 2006–2011 was 2.40 infants per 1000 live births (including both PCH and TCH). The most common occurrence was in Ardestan County (10:1000) and the lowest overall incidence was observed in the Fereydounshahr county (1.39:1000). The incidence of PCH in the counties of Ardestan and Golpayegan had the highest rate in all years of study; and the greatest number of TCH cases in the five years were observed in Nain, Natanz, Khansar and Chadegan counties.
