Abstract
The aim of this article is to present the methodology for modeling and simulation of start effects in spacecraft or satellite's propulsion system on the fuel sloshing in the tank by pendulum model in microgravity conditions. In other words, the main aim of this paper is pure sloshing study of fuel and ullage gas relative movement, neglecting the role of Propellant Management Device (PMD). To this end, fuel sloshing in tank is performed by utilizing the Fluent software based on pendulum model. Firstly, algorithm inputs are determined (exiting input, fuel and ullage gas volume, loading, dimensional specifications, etc.); then, tank is modeled and designed and, finally, fuel sloshing simulation in micro-gravity conditions is developed. Fuel sloshing modeling and simulation outputs include determining the sloshing damping rate and its value in the simulation at 20 sec, velocity variation contour, velocity direction contour in the tank, and also ullage gas and fuel relative location in 0.2, 0.4, and 1 sec. The accuracy of the obtained results has been evaluated with the similar experimental results.

Abstract
In order to reduce the economic losses and life risks caused by microbial pathogens, the use of natural substances as antimicrobial compounds seems to be an effective way to control the presence of pathogenic bacteria. In this study, the chemical composition of onion essential oil was determined by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The methods in disk diffusion agar (DDA) and well diffusion agar (WDA) were used to investigate the inhibition zone diameter, micro-dilution broth was used to measure the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and pour-plate technique was also used for minimum bactericidal/fungicidal (MBC/MFC) concentration. A total of 20 chemical volatiles (approximately 100% of onion essential oil compounds) were identified. The compounds Trisulfide dipropyl, Disulfide dipropyl, n-Decane and Furfuryl methyl sulfide with 20.67, 16.18, 13.51 and 10.23% of the main constituents of onion essential oil, respectively. The results of WDA showed that onion essential oil had the most and the least effect on Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus with a diameter of 15 mm and Gram-negative bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa with a diameter of 10 mm, respectively. The results of MIC onion essential oil for Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria innocua, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans 512, 512, 512, 512, 512 and 1024 mg/mL, respectively. In general, the results of this study showed that the antimicrobial effect of onion essential oil can be somewhat different depending on the type of microorganism.

Abstract
Strawberries have a very short shelf-life due to their high sensitivity to fungal agents. The use of chemical antifungal compounds to increase the shelf life of this fruit has raised many concerns. For this reason, it is necessary to use safe methods to control spoilage and maintain the quality of strawberry fruit during storage. In this study, the effect of coating with Persian gum containing vanillin on the shelf life of strawberry fruit was evaluated. The levels of gum used in the preparation of the coating solution were 3%, 3.75 and 4% (w / v) and vanillin was added to the coating solution at three levels of 5, 6 and 7 mM. The studied characteristics included weight loss percentage, general acceptance, acidity, soluble solids, breakdown percentage, anthocyanin content, texture analysis and vitamin C content. The results showed an improvement in the appearance of coated fruits compared to control samples and also a significant reduction in the percentage of spoilage and weight loss in coated samples compared to the control. According to the results, the titratable acidity and texture firmness in the treated fruits improved compared to the control samples. Anthocyanin content and vitamin C content in the coated samples decreased but the rate of decrease was much slower compared to the control samples. Overall acceptance in the coated samples decreased slightly compared to the control sample. Finally, the best formulation was determined to contain 3.96% (W/V) of Persian gum, 0.857 mM vanillin and 2% (V/V) of glycerol.

Abstract
In recent years, the non-destructive and fast method of image processing has been successfully used for quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the characteristics of food products. In this study, the effect of sugarcane bagasse as a source of fiber enrichment (0-25%), soybean water-soluble polysaccharide (0-2%) and frying time (2-5 minutes) on the image characteristics of donuts such as color, number , density and size of bubbles, porosity, energy, homogeneity, contrast and entropy were investigated. The findings of this research showed that the increase of sugarcane bagasse fiber increases the a* index and decreases the L* and b* components of the crust and crumb and porosity. On the other hand, increasing the frying temperature increases the redness of the crust and decreases the lightness of the crust and the porosity of the texture. Meanwhile, the polysaccharide soluble in soybean water had no significant effect on the characteristics of the treatments. The optimization results also showed that if 8.58% sugarcane bagasse and 0.36% soybean soluble polysaccharide are added to the formula and the sample is fried within 5 minutes, the best quality will be obtained.

Abstract
Cyberspace has provided the ground for the emergence of a new generation of games, in the namely of virtual games, which are beyond the games and entertainment. Although the computer games, as a part of entertainment industry, are basically considered with cultural and economic approaches, what makes such games an attractive topic for law, is the possibility of buying and selling virtual goods and items within the context of games.In-game transactions associated with some challenges with the legal status of such transactions are the most important ones. In the meantime, what makes the validity of online transactions a challenging topic refers to the doubt on the vital elements of subject-matter of contract. Since everything occurs in a virtual environment, so the objects of transactions are intangible, and in fact, do not exist. Moreover, what purchased and sold are just beneficial and valuable for the game players through the game so that they have no function and benefit out of the game. This paper tries to have a legal analysis on virtual goods and items from the point of essential conditions for the validity of the object of transactions.

Abstract
Following the victory of the Islamic revolution, especially with the end of the war and considering macro-policies of the system based on the reduction of control of the state, competition law has appeared more than past in the area of the legislative. Besides, if the people acknowledge that the rules coincide with their beliefs, they show more commitment to it. Considering that according to the Constitution, regulations must be based on the Islamic criteria, to determine the rules governing the behavior of economic actors, they must be justified based on the Islamic criteria. The principle of 'no harm' is among the most important rules under discussion in the Islamic law, and several theories have been formulated for the provision of this principle. We explain the concepts of principle of “no harm”, and attempt to demonstrate that firstly the government (like every individual of the society) is affected by the concept of this principle, and secondly, if the provisions of the principle of "no harm" imply that the issue that a verdict has been rendered for it, if its primary effect causes harm to others, such award is declared null. In other words, it is improbable that the legislator enacts a law that will harm others; therefore, by relying on this principle, the validity of the said rule will not be recognized.

Abstract
Among the types of foods that are consumed to meet the physiological needs of humans, animal protein is more valuable than other nutrients in terms of nutritional value and nutrients. Today, consumers are looking for healthy and quality foods. Therefore, knowledge of the qualitative characteristics of meat is considered to be important. In this study, the quality and durability characteristics of Arabia and Arabia -Romanov meat were studied during 7 days of ageing period under commercial conditions at 4 °C. Samples were taken from the top round section including Semimembranosus muscles. This research was conducted as a randomized complete design. One-way ANOVA and Fisher test were used at 5% statistical level to study the differences between treatments. Finally, the results were analyzed using Minitab version 16 software. The pH value for Arabia meat decreased from 6.33 immediately after slaughter to 5.7 and for the Arabic-Romanian meat, the mean of 6.36 immediately after slaughter, decreased to 6.05 after 168 hours. The mean value of pH indicating that there was no statistically significant difference between treatments. The results showed that there were significant differences between the two treatment in characteristics of texture, sensory and cooking loss (P <0.05). In general, Arabia- Romanov meat has a higher overall acceptance rating and desirable texture characteristics.

Abstract
Introduction: Emerging evidence suggests that lipoproteins levels are associated with cognitive health. This study examines the relationship between lipoprotein levels and cognitive performance in middle-aged and young adults. It addresses the impact of abnormal lipid levels and hypercholesterolemia on cognitive impairment.
Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study involving 123 healthy security guards aging 20- 60 years old. Lipid profiles included total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and triglyceride (TG) levels were measured in serum. EEG recording was used to obtain the cognitive indicators of attention, memory, salience, language, mood and executive function. Spearman correlation analysis was used to determine the correlation between lipoproteins and cognitive indices.
Results: A significant relationship with executive function was found for TC (r = -0.2944, p = 0.0202) and LDL (r = -0.3687, p = 0.0032). Additionally, a significant relationship was found between attention and serum HDL levels (r = -0.1987, p = 0.0296). In middle-aged security guards, there was a significant correlation between attention and TC (r = -0.4338, p = 0.0187) and LDL (r = -0.3909, p = 0.0360). Also, there was a significant correlation between executive function and TC (r = -0.5475, p = 0.0368) as well as LDL (r = -0.6709, p = 0.0077).
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that executive function and attention are key cognitive indices significantly linked to lipoproteins. In the middle-age group, higher TC and LDL levels correlated with lower cognitive scores compared to the general population, indicating a potential role of lipoprotein factors in cognition.
