Abstract

The quality of urban spaces and the presence of residents are some of the primary issues of current urbanism, as the dominance of vehicles has diminished the commuting opportunity for different social groups and the liveliness of urban spaces. This is especially true for urban spaces where once acted as children’s playground and now have turned into vehicle routes, pushing their former function to the sides. In the dense landscape of district 10, with its insufficient open urban spaces, this issue is even more pronounced, doubling the need for creating urban spaces accommodating children. Tactical urbanism is a general term describing such urban interventions regarding different qualities (e.g. the scale of the project, provisional measures for reusing the unused potentials of cities, providing privileges and support, unofficial actions within legal bounds, or attention to and revitalizing abandoned spaces) and has been further extended in specific academic fields such as traffic engineering

Abstract
Individuation is a term used in analytical psychology to characterize the integration of human psyche. Relying on clinical experiments as well as evidence from world-renowned legends and myths, Murdoch has identified a circular psychological travel pattern for women's individuation. The present study examined the fitness of the heroine’s individuation journey in Persian fairy tales considering the stages of the psychological cycle. The results of the study, while confirming the general conformity of the tales with Murdoch’s psychological cycle, have identified three different subsets for the Iranian fairy tales centered on a heroine. The first subset, including more than fifty percent of the studied stories, are the fairy tales which fully coordinates with Murdoch's psychological cycle for the heroine individuation; the second subset corresponds only to the first part of the intended cycle; finally, the third subset corresponds only to the second half of the Murdoch's psychological cycle. The psychological implications of these three subsets and the overall conclusion are also discussed in the article.

Introduction
Research background
So far, little attention has been paid to the solo journey of the female heroine in the Persian fairy tales. Although some studies (Heidari, 2017; Yahaghi et al., 2017), based on the morphological theory of Prapia Estés model of literary criticism, have examined the journey in one or more myths, the rest of the studies seem to have focused on the position of women next to the men's heroic journey. Mahmoudi Bakhtiari et al. (2014) analyzed the psychological cycle of Murdoch in three films, namely, Dog Killing, Occupation, and Facts About Leila Idris' Daughter, and Ismeilipour (2015) did the same on the novel We Get Used Do. Although these studies have investigated Murdoch's pattern in relation to the contemporary Iranian women, they have not considered the examination of older cultural evidence for this cycle, as Murdoch himself has noted.
Aims, questions, and assumptions
Influenced by Murdoch's psychological stages, this study examines those Persian fairy tales that reflect the individual hero's journey. The question that this study seeks to answer is whether the events described in these myths correspond to the particular psychological cycle that Murdoch posed for women's psychological individuality. The answer to this question can lead to a better understanding of Iranian culture towards women as independent and separate personalities from men.
Discussion
The hero's movement through a journey in fairy tales is to reach a goal which is, according to Jung, successfully achieved in the process of individuality (2011, p. 135). In The Depth of Being Woman (2015), Murdoch describes the stages of a woman's heroic journey to achieve individuality in 11 categories: separation from femininity, identification with masculinity, gathering allies, the path of difficult trials, success, awakening, feeling the dryness of the soul: death, descent into the realm of femininity, a strong desire to be reunited with femininity, healing of the mother-daughter gap, healing of masculinity, wounded inside and holy marriage: the bond of femininity and masculinity. These steps can be identified based on the events of the story and the actions of the female protagonist. Accordingly, the Iranian fairy tales that have considered the individuality of the female heroine (Darvishian, 2009) have been studied, and examples for each step have been identified accordingly. Based on this, different forms of each step have been categorized.
Conclusion
Many of the fairy tales analyzed in this study are consistent with the pattern of Murdoch's mental cycle. The Murdoch's psychological cycle has two main parts: the first part begins from the first stage (separation from femininity) to the fifth stage (achieving success), and the second part begins from the sixth stage (feeling of dryness of soul) to the eleventh stage (holy marriage). In the first part of this cycle, the journey of the female protagonist focuses on the growth of the "I" or ego; the second part, which is a meeting with the Goddess, is dedicated to the restoration of female energy at the mental level. These two sections are symbolically presented thoroughly in 75 of the 146 myths analyzed in the present study (i.e. more than fifty percent). This shows the cultural context of these myths, acknowledging and accepting the independence and individual identity of the female heroine that is achieved in the first part of the cycle, and femininity in the form of respect for the goddess as a positive source of power, wisdom, and deep strength. The legends included in this group are usually myths that are far better known than other myths.
After this group, there are 55 myths that have the first part of the cycle of individuality, i.e. the first to the fifth steps and also the tenth to the eleventh steps. The first part of the cycle of individuality is concerned with cultivating the independence and strength of the female protagonist and the competence of women in the outside world. Thirteen myths have been identified as examples for adapting the second half of Murdoch's cycle, which are the seventh step onwards. In the second half of her journey, the female protagonist revives the feminine traits she has lost through the struggle for victory and success in the male world.
The first, tenth, and eleventh steps of Murdoch's psychological cycle, namely, "separation from femininity," "healing wounded masculinity," and "holy marriage or the bond of femininity and masculinity" can be observed in all the myths under consideration - whether they fully cover the cycle, or remain to be matched with only one of the two.

Abstract

In this paper, efficiency of defected graphene nano ribbon incorporating with additional nanoparticles on mass detection operations is studied via the Reverse Non Equilibrium Molecular Dynamics (RNEMD) method. Thermal conductivity management of this structure is challenging because of imposed losses in electrical conductivity and any procedure could manage the thermal conductivity of graphene will be useful. In this paper it is observed that on the mass detection operation, due to the porosity generation in the nano ribbon surface or even creation of external nanoparticles, thermal properties of graphene change considerably. This should be noted in calibration of graphene based mass sensors. In summary, results show that the graphene’s thermal conductivity would reduce by increasing the concentration of nanoparticles and thermal conductivity of graphene is higher when porosities and impurities are at the edges. This indicates that the location of vacancies and nanoparticles influences the thermal conductivity. For a better thermal management with the help of nanoparticles, wither respect to the porosities, addition of nanoparticles decrease the thermal conductivity more and more. By increasing the cavity’s diameter from 0.5nm to 4.4nm in a specific single layer graphene, thermal conductivity was reduced from 67 W/mk to 1.43 W/mk.

Abstract

The effects of adding powdered leaves of Portulaca Oleracea on the physicochemical properties of wheat flour dough were evaluated  with farinograph test. The amount of fat, protein and fiber was more in powdered leaves of Portulaca Oleracea  than wheat flour. Farinograph test results show  an increase in water absorption, stability time and Farinograph quality number and a decrease in the Degree of Softening in dough with increasing replacement of powdered leaves of Portulaca Oleracea(P< 0.05). Farinograph quality number with increasing in the percentage of powdered leaves of Portulaca Oleracea to10% was decreased, but 15% powdered leaves of powdered leaves of Portulaca Oleracea showed highest number Farinograph quality(P< 0.05). With increasing levels of powdered leaves of Portulaca Oleracea decreased Degree of Softening in dough and created significant changes in dough development time(P< 0.05). Farinograph assessment of dough provided with powdered leaves of Portulaca Oleracea, dough prepared with 10% leaf powder introduced as the best example in terms of the rheological properties.

Abstract

Salinity tolerance is a genetically and physiologically complex trait, controlled by Quantitative Trait Loci (QTLs). In order to map the QTLs associated with agronomic and physiological traits, 149 doubled haploid lines derived from a cross between Clipper (salt susceptible) and Sahara 3771 (salt tolerant) barley genotypes were evaluated under natural saline-stress and non-stress conditions using 14 traits. QTL analysis was performed based on the composite interval mapping method, using the genetic linkage map consisting of 517 molecular markers which spanned a total of 1502.4 cM. A total of 78 QTLs for days to heading, relative water content, chlorophyll content, plant height, spike length, days to maturity, biomass, grain yield, harvest index, grain number per spike, 1,000-kernel weight, Na+, K+ concentrations and K+/Na+ ratio, were determined, with 40 and 38 QTLs under normal and salinity environments, respectively. Most of the detected QTLs were located on chromosome 2H. The phenotypic variation explained by individual QTLs ranged from 3.3 to 68.6%. A major QTL was identified at both saline-stress and non-stress conditions in the vicinity of Vrs1 on chromosome 2H, related to biomass, grain number per spike, 1,000 kernel weight, plant height and grain yield. This QTL may be useful in the barley breeding programs for improving salt tolerance by marker-assisted selection. Furthermore, some stable QTLs, were identified for days to heading, biomass, spike length, grain number per spike, 1,000 kernel weight, and K+ content which can be regarded as promising QTLs for breeding purposes.

Abstract

Plant essential oils can prevent the growth of bacteria and increase the shelf life of food products such as seafood and fish. In this study, the effect of zizphora and tarragon essential oils at concentrations of 500, 1000, and 2000 mg/L on microbial quality and shelf life of rainbow trout fillets stored at 4 ºC was investigated. The results showed that the essential oils of ziziphora and tarragon were effective in reducing the production of volatile nitrogen bases and the greatest effect was related to ziziphora essential oil with a concentration of 2000 mg/L. It was also observed that the use of ziziphora and tarragon essential oils reduced the total viable counts, psychrotrophic bacteria, coliforms, and Escherichia coli bacteria compared to the control sample, which confirms their antimicrobial properties. It was concluded that ziziphora essential oil with a concentration of 2000 mg/L was more effective than tarragon essential oil in controlling the microbial load and delaying the spoilage of rainbow trout fillet at refrigerator temperature.

Abstract

Retrotransposons (RTNs) are a major source of genomic changes in plant genomes and, therefore, are extensively used as ideal molecular markers for genetic variability, DNA fingerprinting, and genetic mapping studies in plant species. In the present study, two RTN-based marker systems, inter-retrotransposon amplified polymorphisms (IRAPs), and the retrotransposon-microsatellite amplified polymorphisms (REMAPs) were used to assess genetic variability and structure in a collection of 94 durum wheat genotypes. In general, 63 and 141 loci were amplified using 6 IRAP and 15 REMAP primers, respectively. Percentage of polymorphic loci (PPL) in the studied collection for IRAP and REMAP markers were 47.15% and 47.81%, respectively. The average of expected heterozygosity (He), number of effective alleles (Ne), and Shannon's information index (I), separately estimated based on IRAP and REMAP data, were not considerably different. A model-based Bayesian method and cluster analysis using Neighbor joining (NJ) algorithm depicted five clusters. A moderate level of inter-group genetic variability was detected among the clusters (11%) obtained from STRUCTUR software (PhiPT =0.111; P=0.001) with the vast majority of variation (89%) still uncaptured within groups. Most of the accessions and landraces from Iran aggregated together in clusters I and III with the cultivars from Turkey. Also, Iranian and foreign durum wheat landraces were assigned to different clusters or subpopulations in both clustering methods. In conclusion, the results showed that the genetic diversity of Iranian durum wheat is low and it is necessary to extend the genetic base of durum wheat germplasm in Iran.

Abstract

While the era of spiritual education for children in the West is developing as an academic field of enquiry but attention to it in educational system of the Islamic Republic of Iran and in academic researches is inconsiderable; The lack of models and theories for addressing spiritual development in the context of education span development theories that did not include the spiritual. So, there are theoretical gaps to be filled. Accordingly, this research suggests and designs an Islamic model for children's spiritual education based on philosophy of education of the Islamic Republic of Iran and Islamic teachings. For the purpose, in the first section of the paper, the concept of spirituality is explored based on Philosophy of Education of the Islamic Republic of Iran and then three main worldviews in relate to spiritual education for children in the West are explored and critiqued. So according to the theoretical foundations of formal and general education of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the concept of children's spiritual education is explored in dimensions of ontology, epistemology, axiology and anthropology. In the second section of the paper, its educational principles and methods using the Frankna induction is derived.

Abstract

Superhydrophobic surfaces have gained significant attention as a promising approach for drag reduction of submerged objects. Accurate evaluation and prediction of drag reduction induced by these surfaces require expensive experimental measurements, numerical simulations, or the development of reliable models and correlations. In this paper, a model is proposed for calculating the skin friction coefficient and drag reduction of superhydrophobic flat surfaces. Utilizing previous data on the skin friction coefficient of flat surfaces under no-slip boundary conditions, a model is developed to estimate the skin friction reduction and skin friction coefficient of these surfaces after applying superhydrophobic coatings. The validity of the model is verified by comparing its results with those of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of flow over a flat plate at different velocities. The results of the model and simulations indicate that for inlet velocities of 1, 5, and 25 m/s and a slip length of 50 μm, drag reductions of 15%, 41%, and 77%, respectively, are expected. Additionally, the skin friction reduction increases with increasing flow Reynolds number. The developed model is validated for flat surfaces and its ability to accurately estimate the skin friction coefficient and drag force of these surfaces is thoroughly examined. However, further investigations are required to assess the model's validity for curved surfaces and variable slip lengths.
