        Landslide is a geological phenomenon which cause annual enormous losses of life and property in the country. Since the set of natural and human factors contributed to the damages caused by the landslide, this phenomenon is known as the limiting factor in land development policies. One of the most important solution to reduce the damages caused by landslides, is to avoide these areas. For this it is essential to provide high accuracy maps of landslide hazard zoning by an available and suitable method. Thus in this study GIS (Geographic Information System) was utilized to determine the high risk areas and evaluate the impact of various factors. At first the influenced factors were selected by field and other reserchers studies then the layers were prepared on GIS ( by the use of ArcGIS 10.2). These layers are lithology, slope, aspect, land use, road networks, distance to fault, elevation and drainage watershed in Emamzade Ebrahim watershed in west of Guilan province, Iran. In step 1, standardization of the layers was done using Fuzzy logic. Step 2, analyze hierarchi prossess (AHP) was used to pair-wise comparison of these factors and the weight of each factor, which represents the degree of their influence had been calculated and finally landslide hazard zonation map was prepared with different sensitivities. Slope by the weight of 0/308 and lithology 0/231 had highest impact and should be more emphasis and considere on basin development planning managers and policy makers. Also 39% of the basin area has low sensitivity and 2% has very high sensitivity to the risk of the occurrence of landslide hazard. Manuscript profile

        The urban land management is a quintessential part of the urban management. In some countries such as Iran, there is no integrated urban land management and providing municipal services is assigned to nationwide organisations. This means urban management is offered by the municipality or subsidiaries of the aforementioned organisations. The rapid growth of urbanisation, migration to cities particularly to megacities, and the limited amount of land available for residential housing caused an increase in the demand for residential lands which resulted in its unavailability. In many countries, governments and their administrators attempt to enable various sections of the society, especially, deprived people to have access to the land market through setting policies. Although various countries face similar issues in providing housing and land to the people, there are some subtle differences. These differences are rooted in legislative, historical, political, economic, social, cultural matters and their natural boundariesInvestigating the relationship between decision making model of urban land policies and physical development of Sari city and the relationship between physical development model of Sari city and national politics and role of actors in urban land. To do so, it follows an applied analytical descriptive approach. To analyse the data, mathematical and statistical methods were applied using Excel and SPSS. Moreover, the GIS was used for visualisation and adaptive analysis. The study concluded that lack of clear visions and consequently uncoordinated organisations and their policies, isolated and vertical decision-making, and unmanaged intervention without the required organisational capacities are the critical reasons for inefficient urban land management. .

        Abstract Natural disasters annually cause an average More than a thousand billion damages to the country. According to experts, Iran is one of the most prone areas of the earthquake and according to official statistics in the last 15 years, 6% of the earthquake casualties were earthquake. In this regard, assessing the seismic vulnerability of different regions of the country in order to reduce the vulnerability of urban communities should be a priority in planning. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of topography in magnifying seismic effects in the Kalat-Naderi area of Khorasan Razavi province using Pessina et al. In this regard, first, the digital elevation model of sites prone to magnification of geomorphological effects was investigated. These effects included: ridge, peaks, hills, valleys with features such as slope shape, as well as slope and elevation difference. GIS functions were also used to classify critical areas. The resulting maps can be used to assess large-scale topographic areas of risk and earthquake risk. According to the results of the study, out of the total study area, 74.71% were in the range of low magnification, 21.12% in high class and 4.15% in high class. Manuscript profile

        The intrusion of Panah-Kuh granodiorite-quartz diorite stock into the limestone-dolomite of the Jamal Formation has led to the skarn formation in the Panah-Kuh area. Skarns have formed in direct contact with intrusions in carbonate rocks. The Panah-Kuh granitic rocks are mainly metaluminous, calc-alkaline with I-type granitoid characteristics. Biotite and amphibole phenocrysts are the most abundant hydrous mineral in the Panah-Kuh granite. Chemical analysis of biotite and amphibole in granitic rocks in Panah-Kuh shows that the total Al (TAl) content of them can be used as a useful indicator for distinguishing between mineralized and nonmineralized granitic rocks. A good positive correlation is showed between the TAl content and the formation pressure of the granitic rocks estimated by biotite and hornblende geobarometers. These facts suggest that the TAl content of biotite and hornblende can be used to estimate the solidification pressure of the granitic rocks. According to the obtained biotite and amphibole geobarometers, it is estimated that Panah-Kuh Fe-Cu skarn deposit was formed at pressures of 1-2 kb similar to Yaguki, Kamaishi and Tanazawa Fe-Cu deposits in Japan. Therefore, biotite and amphibole geobarometers of granitic rocks may be a useful indicator in the exploration of skarn ore deposits related to granitic rocks. Manuscript profile

        Jebale-Barez plutonic complex is composed of granitoid intrusive bodies and is located in the East and southeastern of Jiroft province of Kerman. The plutonic complex is composed of granodiorite, quartzdiorite, granite and alkaligranite. Plutonic rocks are mainly composed of plagioclase, alkali-feldspar, biotite, amphibole and quartz. Based on microprobe analysis, plagioclases vary from andesine to labradorite and alkali feldspars occur as orthoclase. All amphiboles are magmatic and placed in three groups: calcic amphiboles, iron-rich amphiboles, amphiboles consist of Fe, Mg, Mn. The study of oxidation and reduction state of their source magma by amphibole chemistry, in dicated high oxygen fugacity. Therefore, granitoids of Jebale-Barez plutonic complex are I-type or related to magnetite series and the estimated oxygen fugacity imply oxidation magma and its formation in convergent plate boundary. On the basis of geo-thermo-barometric calculations, using Hamarstrom - Zen, Schmidt, Johnson - Rutherford, Smith - Anderson and Uchida methods, amphiboles have crystallized about 1.54 to 7.87 kbar at the depth about 18 to 23 km. As emplacement or crystallization temperature of Jebale-Barez plutonic complex based on the two feldspar thermometer using Anderson method has been ranges between 550 to 750 ºC and using Putirka method has been achieved between 710 to 830 ºC and based on Ti-in- amphibole thermometer has been ranges between 670 to 735 ºC. In addition, hornblende -plagioclase thermometer shows 653 to 732 °C for equilibrium of these two minerals Manuscript profile

        Arsenic is a toxic element with environmental and health risks. The aim of this study is to investigate and monitor arsenic concentration level of pollution and its concentration zoning in the water resources of Saroq watershed. In this study, 45 samples from wells, springs and river were collected in two stages (filtered samples in the first step and bulk samples in the second step). The position of sampling points was determined based on expert judgment and random method. Anions were analyzed by gas chromatography and metals were analyzed by ICP-MS. The overall results indicated that water was polluted by arsenic in some areas. Evaluation of the origin and zoning maps of arsenic in water revealed that the source of pollution is both anthropogenic and geogenic resources. Most of the geogenic sources are located in the north-east and east of the area on the alteration zones and is resulted from Quaternary volcanic rocks forming source of the hot springs in the study area. Mining activities are the most important cause of pollution in the downstream area of the mines in the north of area, thus, it can be said that anthropogenic origin is a major cause of pollution. Transfering and re-deposition of arsenic in the study area is controlled by the solution- deposition and absorb- disposal reactions, which is controlled by Eh and pH. Transporting and re-deposition of arsenic is done by oxy-hydroxides of this element. In general, except for the northern and north-western parts, in most parts of the studied area, the level of pollution is not that much high so by considering appropriate management there will not be much pollution problem in the area.

        Shotori active fault zone (in the northern end of Nayband fault) has a dextral strike-slip mechanism with a revers component. Landsat image studies show that this fault is uncontinuous and segmented. In this research, based on fault geometric discontinuity, two segments, were determined on both the northern (with trend of N40w) and southern segments (with trend of N20w). Both of them are reverse with a right lateral slip movement component. The southern segment is the most active segment, based on fractal earthquake and fractal fractures (Ds= 1/60, DN=1/73) and earthquakes (Ds=0/43, DN=0/68) morphotectonic¬ parameters such as river slope indicator (SLs=1703/27,SLN=1526/7), sinuosity river channel (SS=1/24,SN=1/27), the V ratio (Vs=0/7,VN=0/9) and structural and seismic data. The most frequent recorded earthquakes and the biggest registered earthquake with a magnitude of 7.4 on the Richter scale have taken place in the southern segment. This indicates a high potential of seismic activity on this segment of the Shotori fault. Manuscript profile

        The study area is geologically located in the northern area of the Sanandaj-Sirjan metamorphic zone. Based on petrographic study, the main minerals consists of plagioclase, pyroxene, amphibole and biotite and the accessory minerals are chlorite, muscovite, ilmenite and zircon. The obtained results from the mineral chemistry in this study indicate that the amphiboles are calcic amphiboles, and in terms of chemical composition they can be called pargasit, tschermakite and magnesiohomblende. Plagioclases are also andesian. Due to the low Na2O content, it can be concluded, that tectonically these amphiboles are of S-Amph type and are related to the subduction zones. Based on the high levels of Al2O3, the origin of amphiboles is mantle-type. Therefore, due to the ratio of Fetot (Fetot + Mg+2) to AlIv, which is less than 0.6, the oxygen fugacity was high. On the other hand, the water levels vary from 2 to 2.3 for hornblende crystallization. Different methods were used to perform thermobarometry, the best of which showed that the formation temperature of gabbroic mass has been in the range of 700°C (in average) and a pressure of 4.45- 7.52 Kb. According to the estimated pressures, the magma was originated at a depth of 25-30 Km, which is near the Moho discontinuity. Manuscript profile

        The verses of the Qur'an speak of the creation of the heavens and the earth in six days and sometimes eight days, but modern science considers the process of formation of celestial bodies and earth in long periods of time and does not accept the formation of the universe in a period of time equal to a few days.Thus, many contemporary Qur'anic scholars have deviated from the ostensible and famous understanding of the ancient commentators - that the heavens and the earth were created in a period equivalent to six normal days - and interpreted the interpretation of the "set of days" into six periods and stages.In the meantime, it is also worth noting that in the field of science, it is not possible to refer to something out of nature to explain natural phenomena, and the intervention of a superior occult force is not predictable and calculable, while the Qur'anic expression is based on the presence And the unconditional intervention of a superior and transcendent occult force has been introduced.Thus, since the religious point of view is not limited to the closed presuppositions of science, it will not necessarily be limited to the results of scientific calculations, and it can be concluded that trans-sensory forces have intervened in this field.However, in the present age, experimental knowledge is more respected and valid than such an analysis can ignore its results and data. And in fact, such a view affirms the image of the opposition between the Qur'an and science. As a result, if a promise is to be made, the interpretation of the "set of days" into six times and eras is the only determined and preferred promise. Manuscript profile

        Deep oil reservoirs with high heterogeneity need thorough management to maximize production and recovery along with minimizing OPEX and CAPEX. This management is integration between technology, human resource and processes. Smart Well technology helps oil companies to meet aforementioned goals. Since smart well technology imposes high initial expenditure it is a risky and costly decision for oil companies to apply it for all companies. Indeed, this fact dictates prioritization of oil fields based on several parameters to decide where this technology should be implemented first. In this paper we present a novel screening technique under Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) engine. This technique needs criteria and sub-criteria affecting smart well potential of fields such as Geological, Geographical, Environmental and Economical parameters. In this study, the main components of the four main mentioned parameters have been extracted. All of them weighted according to our objective function. The result of this research would be impact weight of each parameter with respect to each other that can be used an engineering box for making decision among several fields for implementing smart well technology.

        Ilam Formation is deposited at the late Cretaceous (Santonian) in a neritic/pelagic environment. Following the Ilam deposition, a general deepening has occurred and the Gurpi formation (shaly layer) was deposited. Ilam has thickness variation between 75-110m and structure has created as a result of upward movement of deep seated salt. Ilam reservoir in this field is regarded as a secondary hydrocarbon potential, and since now, no oil has been produced from this horizon. petrophysical and Seismic interpretation has been done for the Ilam reservoir, the geological models (structural and property models) are generated, with both deterministic and stochastic approaches. The seismic attributes as secondary variables, improved the kriging and Sequential Gaussian Simulation (SGS) algorithm results for modeling of Ilam. This study reveals that Water Saturation is generally high, indicating that Ilam reservoir has low hydrocarbon potential, within the five reservoir potential zones, the zone 5 indicated a good original oil in place potential, especially in the western and central parts of the field.

        Trauma is a theory in psychology referring to any psychological pressure which the human mind is unable to accept and analyze it. The wounds inflicted on a person's mind would leave a deep impact on him and may lead his life and destiny to a different direction. There are different factors can cause trauma. One of them is war events which has an enduring effect on human's psyche. Therefore, due to the numerous wars that have plagued our country throughout the history, especially the eight-year imposed war, the literary narrative of trauma has found its way into the works of some Iranian writers.The present research was conducted in an analytical-descriptive way and it aims to investigate the literary expressions of this psychological damage in the novel "Zamin Soukhteh" by Ahmad Mahmoud and analyze the damage caused to the psyche of each of the characters. In this regard, first, we have discussed the theoretical issues about trauma, then we have analyzed and examined its effect on the characters of the mentioned novel. At the end, it was concluded that the reaction of each character is different from the other; In this way, due to the psychological wounds inflicted on them, the "Shahed" character is hospitalized in a mental asylum; "Nene Baran" distances herself from his previous personality; "Narges" falls into acute depression and "Golabetoon" completely loses his emotions. Obviously, in addition to the important fictional works in praise of the heroes who appeared in the holy defense, this novel can also be worth studying from the perspective of theoretical framework.

        The geostatistical model is considered as a useful tool for predicting the oil potential of reservoirs. In the present study, an attempt is made to review the importance of the geostatistical model in the reservoir characteristics, to model and examine the changes in the petrophysical parameters of the Bangestan reservoir in the Ziloi field despite the limited number of boreholes. This carbonate reservoir consists of Ilam, Surgah and Sarvak formations and was divided into eight zones. In the modeling process, the information required for the 3D model, including geophysical interpretations, well description information, and 2D maps along with their quality control (QC), were entered into the RMS software. The construction model was prepared based on the top levels of the structures and the depth information of the wells entering the reservoir. These data were used indirectly or directly in software with high grading capability to create levels. The depth level map of the top of Ilam Formation was entered into the model as an interpretation level, digitalization and as a base contour map. Isochore maps of other zones were prepared using the depths of wells entering different parts of the reservoir. The prediction of the distribution pattern of changes in the petrophysical features of the reservoir was prepared based on geostatistical methods, average porosity maps, and water saturation. According to the results of the modeling, it was revealed that the Ziloi field has a structural complexity, caused the heterogeneity of the reservoir and increased the risk of predicting the behavior of the reservoir. Comparison of reservoir zones showed that zone 3 has better hydrocarbon potential than other zones. One of the effective factors to improve its reservoir quality is the dolomitization process. Changes in the distribution values of water saturation and porosity showed that the reservoir properties improve from the southeast to the northwest of the field. Manuscript profile
