Abstract:
Aim: With global warming and limited water resources in the world, especially in arid lands of Iran, managing the production of forest seedlings in the country's nurseries is facing a special challenge
. In this regard, the study of drought tolerant plants to select them in the mass seedling production programs can be useful.
Material and methods: Potted seedlings of Persian oak (
Quercus brantii Lindl.), pistachio (
Pistacia atlantica Desf.), Judas-tree (
Cercis siliquastrum L.) and black poplar (
Populus nigra L.) exposed to a normal irrigation scheme (100% field capacity) and drought-stressed (30% field capacity) conditions were examined over a period of 120 days in a greenhouse of Bam Khorramabad Nursery to judge their tolerance for drought stress.
Findings: Drought-tressed seedlings from all species had a lower content of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll and carotenoids compared to the control plots, but the content of proline and malondialdehyde (MDA) did, however, increase. Under stress conditions, MDA content in black poplar,
Judas-tree, Persian oak and pistachio was 174, 121, 105 and 102% higher than the control seedlings, respectively, and this increase in black poplar over other species ranged from 93.5 to 176.5%.
Conclusion: This study confirms that among four tree species, black poplar has lowest tolerance to drought stress. Thus, Persian oak, pistachio and Judas-tree, should be prioritized in the mass seedling production programs of nurseries in arid areas suffering from limited water resources, due to their higher tolerance to water scarcity.

Abstract
The present study was carried out to investigate the occurrence of total mycobiota and Aspergillus species at different stages of fig production and processing in Iran. In the meantime, the potential of different culture media for isolation of fungal species from figs was also investigated. The mycobiota of 389 samples of dried fig were studied. Total fungal counts ranged from <2 to 6.74 log10 CFU g-1. In general, the predominant species were Aspergillus niger aggregate, Aspergillus flavus, Acremonium spp. and Mucor spp. in percentages of 90.9%, 63.7%, 54.6% and 36.4% infection, respectively. Other Aspergillus spp. and Mucor spp. Corresponded to 36.7% and 28.3% infection, respectively. The lowest contamination was observed in dried figs. The predominant fungi were Alternaria spp. and Penicillium spp. (9.1% infection). On average, Aspergillus spp. comprised 34.4% of the total fungal population. Aspergillus niger aggregate was detected in 99%, and A. terreus was present in 11.3% of total samples. The results revealed that poor hygienic conditions in fig harvesting, drying procedures, collecting sites, sorting and packaging plants caused higher mould contamination and risk of the A. flavus growth in dried fig production in Iran. As the result obtained from this study, using more than one culture media for isolation of A. flavus is recommended.

Abstract
Resistance to chemotherapy drugs always has been an obstacle in the definitive treatment of cancers. Therefore, the discovery of molecular events leading to drug resistance improves therapeutic methods. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are a group of molecules that regulate intracellular events, including carcinogenesis and drug resistance pathways. For example, the competitive network of endogenous ncRNAs (ceRNA) regulates the mRNA expression of target genes by binding to miRNAs and limiting their regulatory effect. So far, limited studies have been reported on the role of ceRNA in drug resistance in ovarian cancer. In this study, large-scale RNAseq sequencing data obtained from cisplatin-resistant and sensitive cells were used to search for ceRNAs that are possible regulators of drug resistance in ovarian cancer. For this purpose, the A2780 sensitive and resistant cisplatin ovarian cancer cell line was selected, and the SRA data prepared by RNAseq method was screened. During this process, lncRNAs, microRNAs and mRNAs with expression changes were separated and classified. In the bioinformatic analysis of resistant and sensitive cells, 16 mRNAs, 10 lncRNAs, and 149 miRNAs were overexpressed, and 622 mRNAs, 263 lncRNAs, and 177 miRNAs were underexpressed. These genes were involved in 57 cellular pathways, and by mapping the regulatory ceRNA network, ZNRF3-AS1-miR-33-DUSP1 and ZNRF3-AS1-miR33-HSPA2 axes were identified as potential ceRNA networks involved in cisplatin-resistant ovarian cancer.

Abstract
In this paper the effect of horizontal control surfaces (stern fins) angle on the drag force of the Subsea R&D Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) is investigated using both experimental fluids dynamic and numerical fluids dynamic methods. The experiments were conducted in the Subsea R&D towing tank using a 1:1 scale model of the AUV, at various stern angles and in a speed range of 1 to 3 m/s. A pair of Naca shaped struts was used to connect the AUV to the carriage dynamometer. The stern drag force was experimentally calculated at various stern angles and towing speeds. The results obtained by experimental method compared with those obtained numerically by commercial computational fluid dynamics CFX code. Both experimental and numerical results showed that as the stern angle increases, the total AUV drag force increases, and the drag force coefficient can be estimated by a second order polynomial. The results showed that, at a speed of 1.5m/s, as the stern angle increases to 45 degree, the drag coefficient increases up to 174 percent It was also observed that at a specific stern angle, the drag force due to stern fin increases with the AUV speed. Variation of axial force as a function of stern angle was determined by using both experimental and numerical methods. The results obtained by both methods showed that the expensive experiments conducted in towing tanks can be replaced by numerical simulations.

Abstract
Objective: This study presents a simple method for isolation, expansion and purification of neonatal mouse spermatogonial stem cells. Methods: We used enzymatic digestion to isolate a cell suspension of spermatogonia and Sertoli cells from neonatal 2-day-old mice. The cells were cultured in DMEM/F12 that contained 10% serum for two weeks. Sertoli and spermatogonia cell characteristics were confirmed by examining for the presence of vimentin and PLZF proteins, respectively. To assess the rate of spermatogonia stem cell expansion, the area and number of colonies were measured during the two weeks of culture. At the end of the second week, we detected spermatogonia cell-specific expressions of the Stra8, Piwill2, DAZL, and Mvh genes. Results: Current results indicated that isolated Sertoli and spermatogonia cells were immunopositive for specific markers. During the culture period, a significant difference was seen in the number and area of spermatogonial stem cell colonies (PConclusion: Our study showed that co-culture of spermatogonia and Sertoli cells from same source provides a convenient and efficient environment. This co-culture, without the addition of external growth factors and chemical manipulations, can be used for proliferation of spermatogonia stem cells.

Abstract
Suitability analysis is a prerequisite for sustainable agricultural production and it involves evaluation of the environmental parameters. The development and creation of appropriate points for this land use without considering environmental capability will result in the appearance of several ecological, economic, and social problems. The Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) Models were used for solving such problems. Takestan-Qazvin region is one of the biomes that have difficulties due to lack of a systematic administration on environmental resources. This research was done in the framework of the ecological model and by using multicriteria decision making methods such as Analytic Network Process (ANP), Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) and Vlse Kriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje - Analytical Hierarchy Process (VIKOR-AHP)in GIS environment with the aim of choosing the suitable locations for agricultural land use in Takestan-Qazvin Plain. However, the purpose of this study was twofold: first, it was aimed at determining the ecological capability of agricultural land use by using ANP and SAW methods. Second, the suitable agricultural alternatives in this region were ranked using the integrated VIKOR and AHP models. In these methods, the ratings and the weights of the criteria are known precisely. Ecological factors such as physical and biological parameters and economic - social factors were chosen as the major criteria affecting the agriculture land use. The research indicated that north parts of the study area were not suitable for agricultural development. Finally, the conclusion showed that the application of decision making models could be useful in environmental capacity evaluation of agricultural land use.

Abstract
As the world’s second saltiest lake, Urmia Lake is the main source of halotolerant unicellular microalga, Dunaliella, in Iran. Recently, this lake and, consequently, its biodiversity are being threatened environmentally. Hence collecting, preserving, and identification of indigenous microorganisms of the lake are of great importance. The objective of the present study was the molecular screening of Dunaliella isolates in Urmia Lake. For this purpose, 32 samples were taken from different geographical regions of the lake. Then, their molecular pattern was examined based on 18S rDNA gene and intron-sizing method. Results based on conserved and species-specific primers of 18S rDNA illustrated that, depending on the various parts of the lake, the genetic variation of Dunaliella population differs. The amplified pattern for individual isolates was similar to that previously described for D. tertiolecta, D. bardawil and Dunaliella sp. ARIINW-M1/2. Also,18S rDNA sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of five index isolates showed that the isolates Dunaliella sp. ABRIINW-Ch5, -Sh6.3 and -U1/1 were grouped with different intron lacking species of Dunaliella, ABRIINW-Ch3.1 was clustered with Dunaliella sp. ABRIINW-M1/2, while the isolate Dunaliella sp. ABRIINW-S1.5 was clustered with intron-harboring species of D. bardawil, D. parva, and D. viridis. The results indicated that Urmia Lake is composed of isolates with different 18S rDNA profiles with various intron arrangement.

Abstract
The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of the changes in the starch slurry with the concentration of 30, 50 and 70% of dry substance of pregelatinized acorn starch using a single drum dryer at a drum temperature of 120°C and a speed of 20 rpm which is called PGS30, PGS50 and PGS70 in order on physical and chemical properties including viscosity, hydration, freezing and melting stability, degree of gelatinization, morphology and FTIR.The rheological properties were evaluated using a rapid viscosity analyzer as a function of temperature. Pregelatinized starches showed viscosity at 25°C in cold water, but native acorn starch did not show viscosity at room temperature. Native acorn starch gradually started to absorb water as the temperature increased. So that the highest viscosity (peak) was created by native acorn starch, PGS30, PGS50 and PGS70 respectively. Native acorn starch granules have a smooth surface and non-homogeneous shape (mostly oval and spherical) and also have surface cavities and wrinkles. The morphology of pregelatinized starches changed significantly so that the granules of PGS50 and PGS70 samples are continuous and porous with a honeycomb-like structure. And there was no significant change in freezing-thaw stability compared to native acorn starch (p<0.05). The spectroscopic evaluation of native acorn starch was consistent with PGS samples up to the spectral range of 13343 cm. But in the PGS70 and PGS50 samples, several spectral intervals occurred between 3747 and 3945, which indicates the complete gelatinization of these two samples. Pregelatinized starches also have more swelling power, water absorption and solubility than native acorn starch (p≥0.05).

Abstract
The present study aimed to evaluate effectiveness of Superheated Solvent Extraction (SSE) compared with instant Controlled Pressure Drop (DIC) assisted Solvent Extraction (DIC-SE) on total phenolic, flavonoids, and anthocyanins compounds from pomegranate peels. The effects of temperature, extraction time, and water:ethanol ratio for SSE method, and temperature and heating time for DIC-SE were studied. The highest phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and extraction yields by SSE was achieved at 160˚C, ethanol: water 50:50 and 20 minutes, subsequently in the DIC-SE, the most effectiveness was approached at 150˚C for 5 seconds (P< 0.05). The SSE improved the total phenolic compounds (563.16±1.04 mg g-1), anthocyanins (285.11±1.02 mg 100 g-1), extraction yield (68.7%) and shortened the extraction times compared to DIC-SE, but flavonoid content was more in DIC-SE extract (439.07±0.05 mg g-1). Based on HPLC analyses, gallic acid was not detected in any of the obtained extracts, but the amount of ellagic acid and punicalagin A and B in DIC-SE extract was higher than SSE. The current study clearly shows that the SSE is an effective extraction method to obtain phenolic compounds and the DIC is an advantageous pretreatment for extraction of flavonoids from pomegranate peels.

Abstract
In general, various physicochemical changes can occur in bread in post-baking conditions, known as staleness. Certain additives and improvers are seemingly practical for retarding the staleness of bread. Therefore, the present study investigates the effect of different concentrations (50% and 40%) of date pit microencapsulated with the fluidized-bed method and using maltodextrin, mangosteen gum, and MCT oil (Medium Chain Triglyceride) as coating materials added in the formulation of Baguette bread on staleness and organoleptic properties of the bread. According to the results, bread samples with 1% nanocapsules containing 40% concentration of date pit extract showed the highest moisture (38.41%), highest volume (284.21 cm3), minimum staleness in periods of 24, 48, and 72 h after baking, lowest changes in the temperature of bread center (20 to 132 ℃), and the most desirable organoleptic properties (α=1%). However, the highest phenolic content (231.12 mg GAE/μl) was measured in bread samples with 3% nanocapsules containing a 50% concentration of date pit extract (α=1%).

Abstract
These days, investigation on using acoustofluidic microchannels in separation of microparticles and cells is under consideration. Working under optimum efficiency, these microchannels should be designed and manufactured truly. In this work, a new methodology for designing and manufacturing of acoustofluidic microchannels are explained. Then, a metallic microchannel with 2-nodes of pressure wave based on this method was developed. For mass production purpose, a low cost and reliable method which is CNC micromachining is used. Also, to conduct the heat generated by the wave, this microchannel was made out of aluminum and then polishing technique is applied. Then, the performance of this microchannel in agglomerating of human blood cells and BT-20 breast cancer cells to nodal lines was experimentally studied. The results showed that the applied design and manufacturing technique are suitable. Although some tests were performed to find temperature rise of microchannel due to damping effect, it was found that true design method and also using metals with high thermal conductivity can prevent the temperature increase to the point beyond which living cells will be hurt.

Abstract
Strawberry is a perishable fruit and gray mold is one of the main reasons which reducing its shelf life. Due to the limitations of using chemical poisons, it seems necessary to use safe methods such as the use of essential oils (EOs) and edible coatings to control this fungus maintain the quality, and increase the storage period. However, the high volatility of EOs and organoleptic effects on agricultural products have hindered the direct application of EOs. This study is designed to enhance the shelf life of strawberries by designing nanoemulsion systems of EO with chitosan as follows: in the first experiment, the effect of nanoemulsion of the thymol, one of the main components of thyme, with a concentration of 5 g/L, alone and in combination with chitosan (CH) biopolymer was investigated on Botrytis cinerea. All treatments significantly reduced fungal growth compared to the control sample. Also, combined treatment showed the highest level of inhibition of B. cinerea. The second experiment was performed to evaluate the quality changes and post-harvest wastes of strawberries during storage. In this section, the fruits were coated with thymol 0.5%, thymol nanoemulsion 0.5%, and thymol nanoemulsion 0.5% + CH 0.5% and kept at 4 °C. Results presented that the application of the applied treatments had a positive effect on the physicochemical and biochemical indicators of strawberry fruit during the post-harvest period and caused better preservation of firmness, prevented weight loss and reduced microbial load. Also, the lowest rate of weight loss, the highest rate of firmness, and the lowest rate of growth of microorganisms were observed in covered fruits with treatment of thymol nanoemulsion 0.5% + CH 0.5%. Finally, this treatment can be suggested as a suitable cover to maintain the quality and reduce post-harvest waste of strawberries.

Introduction
Nowadays, urban development is mostly done in the peripheral areas without regard to the real potential and limitations of these lands. Failure to apply ecological capability assessment process in urban planning has led to inappropriate use of resources
, because urban development and growth is often done in the suburbs. This development will result in the deformation of a large portion of the high-quality suburban areas of the city, including agricultural land. This research is a descriptive-analytical and utility
, and with the purpose of designing and employing a comprehensive model and usage method of the integrated multi-criteria decision making method and DEMATEL-ANP model in urban land evaluation. Based on Iran literal Ecological Model, slope, climate, soil properties, water discharge and vegetation density, sea level and mother rock were selected as the main criteria affecting urban development land use. Then, in the form of a model, with the help of Multicriteria Decision Making (MCDM), DEMATEL method was used to determine the intensity of the relationships among factors.
Methodology
In order to model the ecological potential of urban development land use, parameters such as wind speed (Cw), texture (Pte), depth (Pd), gravel (2 Ps), evolution (1 Ps), drainage (Pdr) and soil erosion (Es), rainfall (Cp), Ct temperature, discharge (Wc), height (E), moisture (Ch), rock (Li), slope (So),
and vegetation density (Vgo)
were considered. They were divided into three clusters of bio-hydroclimatology, soil and soil formations for vector weighting. To do the job, Super Decision, ArcGIS 10, IDRISI Selva, MATTALAB software were used. First, ecological parameters were prepared to evaluate the urban development land use capability. The meter map (1: 25000) was used to obtain the slope layers and to reclassify the height. For this purpose, the TIN map meter was first derived from the TIN map and the slope and elevation maps were extracted from the TIN and the maps were classified. To determine the study area
, 10 kilometers around the city was designated for urban development use. After extracting the constraints, they were zeroed and standardized according to Boolean logic. They were then synthesized using the common logic (AND).
All layers must be standardized before they can be merged to be able to be merged using decision rules. [r1] For this purpose, layers of height, pebble and soil depth and vegetation density were standardized using the linear membership function and slope layer using User Defined. DEMATEL and ANP methods were used to determine criteria weight vector and integration. After weighting the factors, the
layers layer integration process was initiated using multi-criteria decision-making rules to achieve land use-friendly areas of urban development. Weighted Linear Combination (WLC) method was used to integrate the layers. Then, histograms and breakpoints of utility map values were used to identify urban development land use classes on the evaluation map. Finally, reclassification of urban development took place and the final evaluation map was obtained.
Standardization of criteria with fuzzy logic: In fact, a series of inputs
are is introduced in the fuzzy process, and by using membership functions,
it assigns an appropriate degree to each parameter.
constraints map: In this study, the layers of constraints for urban development including good rangelands, 100 m buffer road according to Roads and Railways Land Use, 500 m buffer river, 1000 m buffer main fault, and 500 m buffer secondary fault were determined.
:DEMATELThis method is based on graph theory
; a comprehensive method for constructing and analyzing the structural model of complex causal relationships among the factors of a problem.
Describe numerically the concept of the interaction effect of a causal relationship.
The Network Analysis Process (ANP) and its stages: The network analysis process is one of the multi-criteria decision making techniques and the developed form of the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). While the hierarchical analysis process employs one-sided (one-sided) relationships between decision levels, the process of network analysis provides the conditions where the interactions between decision levels and decision criteria are examined more generally. In fact, this method is used to solve problems where criteria and options are not independent.
Linear combination of layers :(WLC) is the most common technique in multi-criteria evaluation analysis. This method is based on the concept of the weighted average. The analyst or decision maker directly weights the criteria based on the relative importance of each criterion studied. Then by multiplying the relative weight of that attribute a final value for each option is obtained.
Perform the evaluation process using the WLC method :At this point, each factor was multiplied by its weight and summed for all factors in the constraint map. Desirability is expressed on the map with numbers between 0 and 1. In order to give a correct classification of the resulting map,
Strech Stretch designed the map and obtained a map representing a layer with a range of different pixel utility (0 to 255), which further indicates higher potency and utility. Less indicates lower potency for urban development land use.
Discussion and conclusion :The ANP method was combined with the aim of
first analyzing the interrelationships between the criteria and weighting of the factors according to their coefficient of influence. As shown in the final weight table, the slope criterion with weight of 0.447
, and height with weight of 0.439
, had the highest final weights in the study area, respectively. Also north and northeast areas of the area
with have suitable vegetation density, eastern part of the area with ideal drainage and sandstone dominance correspond
s to the urban land use class. The northern, northeast and eastern parts of the range often have first-rate potential for urban development use, with these areas being the
most silty siltiest clayey loamy soil texture. Many parts of the south, southeast, and northwest have grade 2
potency potencies, in which the sandy loamy and clayey loamy soil texture
exist. Also, most of the area
in the southwest and west of the region is not capable of utilizing urban development
in the southwest and west of the region.
