Aras Dam, Iran which provides Arasful city with drinking water, has chronic algal blooms since 1990. Levels of up to 900,000 cells/mL of toxic cyanobacteria (mainly Anabaena and Microcystis) have been recorded in the dam. Materials and Methods: In this study, artificial neural network (ANN) model was investigated to predict the chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) concentration in water of dam reservoir. Water samples were collected from 5 stations and analyzed for physical quality parameters including; water temperature, total suspended solids, biochemical oxygen demands, orthophosphate, total phosphorous and nitrate concentrations using standard methods. Chl-a was also measured separately in order to investigate the accuracy of the predicted results by ANN . Results: The results showed that a network was highly accurate in predicting the Chl-a concentration. The mean squared error and coefficient of correlation (R 2) between experimental data and model outputs were calculated.

  • An Applied SWOT Model for Analyzing Role-Taking of Converted Villages to Towns in Urban Network Behzad ENTEZARI1, Mostafa TALESHI2, Mahdi MUSAKAZEMI3 1 Ph.D
    Special Issue INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND February 2016 CULTURAL STUDIES ISSN 2356-5926 An Applied SWOT Model for Analyzing Role-Taking of Converted Villages to Towns in Urban Network Behzad ENTEZARI1, Mostafa TALESHI2, Mahdi MUSAKAZEMI3 1 Ph.D. Student in Geography and Rural Planning, PNU. Tehran (Responsible Author) 1 Associated Prof. of Geography, PNU, Tehran 1 Associated Prof. of Geography, PNU, Tehran (The case of 12 villages in East Azerbaijan/Iran – 2001-2011) Abstract One of the most important features of urbanization in IRAN, like other third world countries, has been converting rural points to new city centers. These effects impact on the number of cities and urban networks of the different regions. So it is necessary to provide new development plans for these new rurban settlements. However, as the usual, after converting them to cities, especially in macro regional plans, they are placed in the same group as service points for their rural jurisdictions. As a result, there is a need to introduce some methods and models for separating these small settlements to be able to offer different strategies for their development and role- taking in the region’s urban network. For this purpose, using SWOT analysis, a research has been done in 12 converted former villages to city centers during 2001-2011 in East Azerbaijan, Iran. The results show that with regard to structural-functional features of each settlement, it would be possible to place them in different groups and offer different strategies for each group. The model can be easily applied to small towns and rural centers almost in all and especially in the third world countries.

Stigmaeidae with 13 species and Barbutiidae and Camerobiidae with one species each had the highest and the lowest number of identified species, respectively. A key to the Iranian families and genera of Raphignathoidea are included. Introduction The Raphignathoidea Kramer, 1877 comprises a large cosmopolitan group of families, which are found in various ecosystems: foliage, branches, trunks, moss and lichen, litter, soil, animal nests, stored products, and even in house dust. The majority of the raphignathoid mites are free-living predators but a few are phytophagous, feeding on moss, and some species are parasites or symbionts of insects (Doğan, 2006). Amongst the predators, some are important biological control agents of spider mites, eriophyid mites, and scale insects in agriculture and forestry (Gerson & Smiley, 1990; Walter & Gerson, 1998; Fan & Zhang, 2005).

  • The Rate of Bank Erosion of Meandering Rivers
    THE RATE OF BANK EROSION OF MEANDERING RIVERS HAMID KHORSANDI Lar consulting engineering, Tehran, Iran GH. ALI FAGHIRI Lar consulting engineering, Tehran, Iran ABDOLLAH ASADZADEH Lar consulting engineering, Tehran, Iran The river bank erosion process, due to the importance of its negative impact on river environment and floodplain, was studied along the 82 km. meandering reach of Aras River. The study indicated that, during 45 years, 57 segments of the River bank with a total length of over 39.5 km. have been exposed to erosion. The results indicated that the maximum of areal average erosion rate was 9.3 meter per year, while the areal average of maximum point erosion was 5.5 m/y and the overall mean was 0.9 m/y. The study concluded that, among the erosion factors, the near bank stress was the most pronounced one and its magnitude varied between 8 to 25 pascal. 1. Introduction The river bank erosion is one of the fluvial-geomorphologic processes with profound and continuous negative impact on river environment and its floodplain. The magnitude and extent of the impact depends on the erosion rates and its location with respect to human activities, capital investment and environmental condition. The destruction of riparian lands and its consequential damage to capital outlays plus sediment production and deposition at downstream reaches are some of the most pronounced impacts. Although the factors causing bank erosion are limited in numbers however amongst them 2 or 3 factors play the most effective roles. Hydraulic forces which result from current velocity and wave action are the most basic factors in river bank erosion.

  • The Effects of Water Table Decline on the Groundwater Quality in Marand Plain, Northwest Iran
    Iranian Int. J. Sci. 6(1), 2005, p.47-60 The Effects of Water Table Decline on the Groundwater Quality in Marand Plain, Northwest Iran G.R. Lashkaripour1, A. Asghari-Moghaddam2, M. Allaf-Najib2 1 Department of Geology, University of Sistan and Baluchestan, Zahedan, Iran. 2 Department of Geology, University of Tabriz, Tabriz, Iran. (received: 12/1/2005 ; accepted:11/3/2005) Abstract Marand plain, a part of the Caspian Sea catchment, stretching over an area of about 820 km2, in northwestern part of Iran is considered as a semi-arid zone. It has gained substantial importance because of agricultural prosperity and population density. Almost all water consumption needs are met from groundwater resources. In the last decades, rapid population growth coupled with agricultural expansion has significantly increased demand on groundwater resources. Large increases in water demand with little recharge have strained Marand groundwater resources resulting in declines in water levels and deterioration of groundwater quality in the major parts of the plain. It's worth mentioning that the paramount cause of sharp drop in the groundwater table in the recent years is conclusively attributed to pumping out of well water which confirmedly exceeds the level of the natural recharge. As a result, the average water level, for instance, has dropped from 1179.9 m to 1168.2 m during the years from 1982 to 2000. The prime objective of this research is to study and examine the groundwater decline and its effect on the quality of groundwater in the Marand aquifer for the said period. Keywords: aquifer, decline, groundwater, Iran, quality.
