Since the work of J.J. Heckel (1846-1849), the number of valid species has increased significantly and the systematic status of many of the species has changed, and reorganization and updating of the published information has become essential. Here we take the opportunity to provide a new and updated checklist of freshwater fishes of Iran based on literature and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history and new fish collections. This article lists 288 species in 107 genera, 28 families, 22 orders and 3 classes reported from different Iranian basins. However, presence of 23 reported species in Iranian waters needs confirmation by specimens. -
IN IRAN Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green Fulfillment
HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF BROADCASTING IN IRAN Bigan Kimiachi A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY June 1978 © 1978 BI GAN KIMIACHI ALL RIGHTS RESERVED n iii ABSTRACT Geophysical and geopolitical pecularities of Iran have made it a land of international importance throughout recorded history, especially since its emergence in the twentieth century as a dominant power among the newly affluent oil-producing nations of the Middle East. Nearly one-fifth the size of the United States, with similar extremes of geography and climate, and a population approaching 35 million, Iran has been ruled since 1941 by His Majesty Shahanshah Aryamehr. While he has sought to restore and preserve the cultural heritage of ancient and Islamic Persia, he has also promoted the rapid westernization and modernization of Iran, including the establishment of a radio and television broadcasting system second only to that of Japan among the nations of Asia, a fact which is little known to Europeans or Americans. The purpose of this study was to amass and present a comprehensive body of knowledge concerning the development of broadcasting in Iran, as well as a review of current operations and plans for future development. A short survey of the political and spiritual history of pre-Islamic and Islamic Persia and a general survey of mass communication in Persia and Iran, especially from the Il iv advent of the telegraph is presented, so that the development of broadcasting might be seen in proper perspective and be more fully appreciated. -

Methods: The hosts were selected randomly and examined individually for tick infestation. In case of infestation, ticks were collected using forceps and then preserved in 70% ethyl alcohol. All collected specimens were preserved in tubes and relative information was recorded and then identified based on morphological characteristics. Results: Totally, 1209 ticks were collected. -
Qozloq Route (Astrabad to Shahrud) Impact on Economic Developments of the Region (Safavid Course)
Journal of Politics and Law; Vol. 11, No. 2; 2018 ISSN 1913-9047 E-ISSN 1913-9055 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education Qozloq Route (Astrabad to Shahrud) Impact on Economic Developments of the Region (Safavid Course) Dr. Mustafa Nadim1 & Ghorbanali Zahedi2 1 Associate Professor, Department of History, Shiraz University, Iran 2 Ph.D. student of Islamic History of Shiraz University, Iran Correspondence: Dr. Mustafa Nadim, Associate Professor, Department of History, Shiraz University, Iran. E-mail: [email protected] Received: January 28, 2018 Accepted: March 8, 2018 Online Published: March 28, 2018 doi:10.5539/jpl.v11n2p6 URL: https://doi.org/10.5539/jpl.v11n2p6 Abstract The Qozloq Route was one of the branches of the famous Silk Road in the northeast of Iran, which linked two important and strategic regions of Shahrud and Astrabad. This road constituted rough and smooth paths and was the passage of different nations with different goals. In this context, various cultures have also been published and exchanged in line with the trade of various goods. The presence of different caravansaries around the road indicates its importance and prosperity in the Safavid course, but with all of this, there is little information available on the importance of this route in the existing travel books and historical books. Despite all the inadequacies, in this research, with the descriptive-analytical approach based on the research data, it is concluded that the Qozloq Route has been of great importance in the Safavid course, strategically, and in term of the publication of the culture and prosperity of the economy, and the dynamism of development and awareness. -

Changes in the Coast of the Sefid-Rud River Delta (Iran)
Basarab R.M., Associate Professor of Computer Science Department, Bogdanets V.A., Associate Professor of the Geodesy and Cartography Department, Starodubtsev V.M. Professor of the General Ecology Department, National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine, Kyiv CHANGES IN THE COAST OF THE SEFID-RUD RIVER DELTA (IRAN) Now most of the river deltas in the world are subject to a universal process - changing their land cover and shoreline. This process is caused by regulation of river flow in the interests of hydropower, irrigation, water supply, flood control, etc., as well as economic activities in deltas. Such changes occur differentially depending on the nature of flow regulation, climatic conditions, and geomorphological features of the territory, land use, surface subsidence, sea level rise and other factors. The scale of changes in the natural environment in the deltas is very significant. Sometimes it is devastating, for example, in the deltas of the Syrdarya and the Amudarya. Since the time of such profound changes in the nature of the deltas that appeared in the first half of the last century in the Colorado Delta, and in the second half of the 20th century in the deltas of Central Asia, Europe and other regions, large scientific schools of hydrologists, soil scientists, geographers, particularly in Ukraine, were formed for their study. The specific features of land cover change processes in the deltas of the Black Sea and Caspian Sea coasts are determined by the fact that they are caused by river runoff regulation, population growth and economic activity amplification. Another important factor in these changes is the impact of waves and sea currents that cause shore erosion or sediment accumulation. -

Gutachter: Herr Professor Dr. Ludwig Paul 2. Gutachter: Herr Professor Dr. Philip G. Kreyenbroek Datum der Disputation: 04 März 2016 To my best friends: Kobra, Rebin, Denise and Nick Acknowledgements As the author of this thesis, I wish to acknowledge the support of many friends who helped me in this work. First of all, I would like to honor my colleague, Carsten Bettermann, who sadly forever left us at a young age. I was lucky to have many interesting discussions with him about the form of Old and Middle Iranian versification. Furthermore I had the good fortune to participate in his courses on Avestan and Middle Persian. He even kindly arranged a course for versification in Avestan. He greatly supported me as I prepared the section in this dissertation on Old Iranian languages. The death of this unbelievably talented person was a great loss for all the colleagues and students in the Asien-Afrika-Institut at the University of Hamburg. I would like to thank my professors Ludwig Paul, Philip Kreyenbroek, and Omid Tabibzadeh, who during the course of my studies have always supported me. I owe a debt of gratitude to two kind friends, Peter Keil and his wife Marie-Luise Keil, for their support. Peter Keil very kindly translated for me ten articles from French into German (Jean Kellens 2006; Jerzy Kuryłowicz 1952 and 1972; Gilbert Lazard 1984, 1985, and 1990; Antonie Meillet 1900 and 1925; Eric Pirart 2004; Hermann Trödel 1874). -
Spatial Distribution of Development Indexes in Iranian Cities Using Combinational Ranking
1 Journal of Regional Planning /Vol. 5/ No. 17/ Spring 2015 Spatial Distribution of Development Indexes in Iranian Cities Using Combinational Ranking M. Nastaran Associate Professor, Urban Planning ,Art University of Isfahan, Isfahan, Iran F. Abolhassani* AM in Urban Planning, Islamic Azad University, Najafabad Branch, Iran N. Bakhtiari M. A Student of Urban Planning, Major of Hakim Sabzevari University, Sabzvar, Iran Abstract In recent decades, social and economic changes have been caused regional imbalance and over centralization of facilities in some places (convexity development) and deprivation in other places (backwardness abyss). To balance dispersion of developmental indices, an exhaustive planning for region development is needed to present an appropriate pattern for balanced distribution of services, population and residences (spatial balance). The present study is established to evaluate developmental degree or the way through which the cities of the whole country may affect 30 combinational indices including; demographic, skeletal, infrastructural, social-economic and health-medicinal. Statistical population of the research includes 336 cities of country and is based on the statistics of 2006. Thirty studied indexes were analyzed and investigated by using the typical development level measuring methods including; factorial analysis, TOPSIS and Morris. The results have been merged by the use of sequence average method. To achieve the purpose, the indexes study were modified into 8 factors by using factorial analysis method and presented in combinational form in significant factors. Only the first and the second factors loading ten percent higher than the other factors that were used. Four levels of cities were determined by using Morris and TOPSIS indices. -
