        The purpose of environmental impact assessment is to identify, analyse and evaluate project activities. Environmental Impact Assessment ensures the environmental concept of sustainable development by providing the necessary environmental information to determine the environmental friendliness of a proposed project. Mechanical harvesting of aquatic plants along with biological and reed harvesting in the whole area of West Wetland and opening the entrance of Chafrud River were the main activities that could be implemented in this project. Mechanical harvesting operations are performed with a Harvester machine and reed harvesting is done with a motor saw or manually. The most important activities of the project are mechanical harvesting (reed harvesting and immersion of aquatic plants floating with the Harvester machine), restoration and cleaning of waterways (Chafrud River), dewatering and rehabilitation of West Wetland, biological control and operation of wooden bridge and bird watching station. Environmental parameters, consequences and nature of the effect, impact time, magnitude of the effect and the scope of the effect were investigated and the positive and negative effects of the design were determined.

        Providing theoretical resources for the emergency policies of governments in the face of unexpected crises is one of the most important tasks of the scientific community of any country. Fighting the COVID-19 epidemic crisis as a comprehensive threat to the international community has led many governments to change their health care policies by being surprised by the severity of the disease. In this regard, the philosophers of the Stockholm School of Ethics have tried to help the Swedish healthcare system control and manage the epidemic of COVID-19. How to interpret and determine the biological age of patients according to the epidemic emergency is one of the most notable parts of this theory. Accordingly, by determining the actual age difference from the biological of each patient, it is possible to determine the probability of survival after treatment and his life expectancy. The Stockholm School of Philosophy suggests that if you have to decide between helping patients with the same probability of survival who have different life expectancies, the priority should be to help a patient who is younger biologically. The present study, in a descriptive-analytical manner, examines and critiques this legal-ethical theory and will explain the consequences and effects of adopting such policies on the social system.

        Children with autism, Asperger's, or pervasive developmental disorders have delays in motor skills in addition to impaired social skills and repetitive stereotyped behaviors. Delays in motor abilities in autistic children are varied and include delays in sitting, crawling, walking as well as abnormal gait, poor posture control, and an inability to plan movement. Also, social interaction is a defect in the use of non-verbal behaviors and a lack of communication appropriate to the buttocks. Autism is a disorder that is affecting more and more people. For example, cognitive and verbal disabilities are very severe in some of these patients, while others have a very high level of mental genius and talent. The main purpose of this study is to study and recognize the biological and psychological scientific views of children with autism. Based on scientific principles, it can be concluded that autism spectrum disorder is a debilitating disease that impairs social interactions, verbal and non-verbal communication skills, learning ability, and some vital emotions. The prevalence of this disease is increasing all over the world, including Iran. Manuscript profile

        Facial expressions determine the inner emotional states of people. Different emotional states such as anger, fear, happiness, etc. can be recognized on people's faces. One of the most important emotional states is the state of fear because it is used to diagnose many diseases such as panic syndrome, post-traumatic stress disorder, etc. The face is one of the biometrics that has been proposed to detect fear because it contains small features that increase the recognition rate. In this paper, a biological model inspired an early biological model is proposed to extract effective features for optimal fear detection. This model is inspired by the model of the brain and nervous system involved with the human brain, so it shows a similar function compare to brain. In this model, four computational layers were used. In the first layer, the input images will be pyramidal in six scales from large to small. Then the whole pyramid entered the next layer and Gabor filter was applied for each image and the results entered the next layer. In the third layer, a later reduction in feature extraction is performed. In the last layer, normalization will be done on the images. Finally, the outputs of the model are given to the svm classifier to perform the recognition operation. Experiments will be performed on JAFFE database images. In the experimental results, it can be seen that the proposed model shows better performance compared to other competing models such as BEL and Naive Bayes model with recognition accuracy, precision and recall of 99.33%, 99.71% and 99.5%, respectively Manuscript profile

        This study was investigated the patterns of water quality changes and the identification of invasive aquatic plant species in drinking water dams located in Mazandaran province, including Alborz, Shahid Rajaei and Meijran Dams. The best conditions of dissolved oxygen in Alborz, Shahid Rajaei and Meijran dams were around 10, 10 and 16 mg/L in April, respectively. Due to the thermal stratification created in August and September, the content of dissolved oxygen in all dams at a depth of 7 to 10 meters reached zero. Based on Carlson's index, these dams were eutrophic during these months. The highest amount of phosphate measured in July, August and September was observed in Meijran Dam. However, biological pollution of Alborz and Shahid Rajaei dams were higher than Meijran dam, the biological and chemical oxygen demand of Alborz and Shahid Rajaei dams were about 2 and 2.5 times higher than Meijran dam, respectively. Also, the amount of faecal coliform in Alborz dams was about 2 time compared Meijran dam. Despite the decrease in the amount of total coliform in three dams in September, the amount of faecal coliform in Alborz dam was about 3 times other dams. Two plants, hydrilla and Potamogeton, were observed as the invasive plants in Meijran dam, which seems that cormorant bird are the cause of invasive plants entering the dam. Manuscript profile

        With the continuous growth of the population, with the expansion of the urban area. Human activities and behaviors waste limited resources, a large number of these personal vehicles occupy our roads, also causing various environmental problems. With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, green travel has gradually become a way of travel for people living in big cities. Convenience and environmental protection are the main advantages of public transport, but unfortunately, the performance, service and environment of many bus stations are not comfortable and friendly. Therefore, the smart bus station was born, it can not only provide real-time bus information, but also provide a safe and comfortable waiting space. However, with the improvement of service functions, the problem of energy consumption has become increasingly prominent. Energy supply through solar panels can naturally be a sustainable energy source for smart bus stations, but many studies have shown that solar panels themselves are not environmentally friendly, regardless of their materials and recyclability. The author's research revealed that relevant studies have confirmed that spraying an aqueous solution containing carbon nanotubes or graphene on mulberry leaves to feed silkworms doubles the strength of silk spit and the conductivity of carbonized silk is 10 times higher. In addition, robotic fiber spinning technology allows silkworms to independently complete the production of silk objects without killing the silkworms. Through research on graphene silk materials and robotic fiber spinning technology, this paper proposes a biologically independent solution for the production of graphene silk thin film solar panels to seek to solve the problem of solar panel pollution in the smart station.

        Due to the rapid growth of science and technology, their need for high performance computing is increasing everyday. So far, the majority of the world's high performance computing needs have been based on conventional silicon-based technologies, but the end of the age of silicon-based technologies is near, and this fact has led scientists to use emerging technologies such as quantum computing, bio computing, optical computing and similar technologies. Although some of these technologies are not new and the initial introduction of some of them dates back to some decades ago, but due to the attractiveness of classical silicon-based computing and the speed of development in it, have been neglected to date. However, recently, these technologies have begun to be used to build scalable high performance computers. In this paper, we introduce these technologies and how they participate in the field of high performance computing, their current and future status, and their challenges. Also, the taxonomy related to each of these technologies from the computational point of view as well as their research topics are presented, which can be utilized for future research in this field.
