  1 - Sulfur source tracing of sulfide and sulfate minerals in fluorite Mines of the Elika Formation (East of Mazandaran Province): Implications of sulfur isotope
   
  Sulfur source tracing based on of sulfide (galena and pyrite) and sulfate (barite) mineralization in fluorite deposits of Elika Formation (East of Mazandaran Province) is studied. In present research. δ34S values vary between -1.82 – +12.49 ‰, +13.22 – +25.83 ‰ and +22. More

  Sulfur source tracing based on of sulfide (galena and pyrite) and sulfate (barite) mineralization in fluorite deposits of Elika Formation (East of Mazandaran Province) is studied. In present research. δ34S values vary between -1.82 – +12.49 ‰, +13.22 – +25.83 ‰ and +22.69 – +32.91 ‰ for galena, pyrite and barite, respectively. Regionally, although wide range of δ34S in sulfides is interpreted as isotopic heterogeneity of source and/or processes of reduced sulfur supply for sulfide mineralization in the studied area, but each deposit has narrow range of δ34S. Compared to sulfides, barites show isotopic homogeneity in heavier δ34S which are corresponding to evaporates from coexisted sea water (Middle-Upper Triassic; Paland Formation). Based on stratigraphic and mineralogical data of host rocks, co-existing evaporates of Triassic sea water and also diagenetic primary sulfates in matrix of host rocks (anhydrite, gypsum, barite) are introduced as the most probable sources of sulfur for sulfide mineralization in Shesh Rodbar and Era deposits. In contrast, contribution of organic matter and/or diagenetic primary pyrites had main role in generation of light δ34S values in Pachi Miana and Kamarposht deposits. Thermo-chemical reduction of digenetic primary sulfates and thermal decomposition of diagenetic primary sulfides as well as sulfur bonds in organic matter-bearing laminaes in the host rock are introduced as main processes for reduced sulfur supply in sulfide mineralization.

  Ancient literary stories must be told in a simple and fluent language in order to be compelling and comprehensible to today's audience. The process of narrating these tales in contemporary language should be in accordance with the principles that have two main axes: First, maintaining the structure of the story and the style of the author, and second, its conforming to the audience’s language and understanding. In this regard, rewriting and returning the stories of Shahnameh to prose, in addition to paying attention to the level of the audience, also requires knowledge about Ferdowsi's style and expression. On the other hand, attention should be paid to summarizing and simplifying stories. Each of the Shahnameh's rewrites has some degrees of summarizing and omitting story or artistic effects. But the omission of some sections damages the original structure of the story, does not reveal Ferdowsi's art in composing stories for the audience. There are several ways to convey these points and the story to the audience as completely as possible. Considering the linkage of the Shahnameh headers with the structure of the story, our suggestion in this article is to use this manuscripts of the Shahnameh based on their headings. As a notable example, we have used the Florence version, which is the oldest available version of the Shahnameh and while reviewing some of the problems in rewriting this work, we have provided solutions for more accurate rewriting.

  Anzali Wetland is one of the 10 most valuable and international wetlands in the world. this wetland With an area of about 20,000 hectares is a habitat for a wide range of mammals, fish, birds, reptiles and, rodents. The study of plants species provides one of the required criteria for distinguishing a wetland area and is used in the process of ecological demarcation of the wetland. The vegetation in the water body and it’s around was studied by 42 sampling plots and its species were identified. 180 species belonging to 124 genera and 48 families were identified. The Poaceae, Asteraceae, Cyperaceae, Fabaceae, Brassicaceae and, Caryophyllaceae were the most abundant families, respectively. Classification of plants based on biological form showed that the highest biological form was related to therophytes with 43%. After that, hemicryptophytes with 18% and, geophytes with 16% had the highest ferequency, respectively. The plants in terms of geographical distribution, mainly belong to the cosmopolitan elements. 35% of species belonged to the obligate. The facultative upland with 32%, facultative wetland with 15%, facultative with 14% and Upland with 4% consisted other wetland indicator plants, respectively. Manuscript profile

  Reflectance of maceral constituents of kerogens, particularly vitrinite (Ro%), commonly used in petroleum exploration, is a very important indicator for determining degree of thermal maturity and investigating status of hydrocarbon generation. Although in vitrinite reflectance profiles maturity generally increases with increasing depth of burial, basin modelers often experience problems when modeling thermal maturity using vitrinite reflectance data measured by using reflected light- photometer microscopes. The problem of reduced vitrinite reflectance mainly arises due to reflectance suppression in vitrintes. By using the laser Raman microprobe, a new multi-parameter technique called "Fluorescence Alteration of Multiple Macerals (FAMM)" was developed by Australian scientists to solve these problems. In this study, data obtained by application of this method were used to correct suppressed vitrinite reflectance values. In order to examine and demonstrate the extent of suppression effect on modeling results, maturity profile constructed by one-dimensional modeling of Well Binak-4 was calibrated using conventional measured vitrinite reflectance (Ro%) and FAMM equivalent vitrinite reflectance (EqVR) data and results were compared with present time measured well temperatures. The crucial differences in maturation, transformation ratio, hydrocarbon generation and expulsion resulted from application of these two type data as calibration parameters are discussed and demonstrated using relevant diagrams.

  The Flory-Huggins interaction parameter (χ) is a crucial factor affecting the miscibility and morphology of components in polymer mixtures and their final properties and applications. The reliable measurement of the interaction parameter is worthwhile in fundamental understanding and quantitative determination of structure-performance relation and finally in practical applications of polymers in different fields. Different methods are used for evaluation of this parameter. In this study, six semi-experimental methods are reviewed: measurement of melting point depression, equilibrium swelling, contact angle, phase separation points, vapor pressure, and inverse gas chromatography. In these methods, equilibrium melting temperatures of pure polymer and its mixtures, degree of equilibrium swelling of the cross-linked polymer in the presence of swelling agent, surface energy of components in the polymeric mixtures, equilibrium components composition in the two-phase system, the ratio of partial vapor pressure of solvent to its saturated one and retention volume are experimentally measured, respectively. Then a proper equation is fitted on the data and the interaction parameter is obtained. In some methods, such as measurement of contact angle, only a positive interaction parameter at temperature of the test is obtained. But in some others, such as measurement of melting point depression, there is no constraint for the sign of interaction parameter. In addition, some methods can determine the composition dependency of the interaction parameter, such as determination of phase separation points. Manuscript profile

  Chitosan has been widely used as a natural biopolymer. The modification of chitosan for various applications can be easily achieved due to the abundant active groups (NH2 and OH) in the main chain. Controlled drug release makes the drug release rate predictable and repeatable for prolonged release drugs. Drug delivery systems prepared from nanoparticles show several advantages, including improved efficiency and reduced toxicity. Using drug delivery systems based on nanoparticles loaded with anti-cancer agents is an effective method for targeting cancer cells. These systems, with the ability to penetrate better inside the cells, combine the drug in a targeted way in the cells. Also, due to the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR), the possibility of better accumulation of drugs in the tumor site is provided. In most researches, the suitable particle size for the targeted release of drug nanocarriers has been reported to be less than 300 or 200 nm. This amount is suitable for the application of drug release for diffusion among tissues and causes the effect of increasing permeability. In this study, for the first time, it examines and analyzes the particle size and zeta potential (surface charge) of chitosan-based nanocarriers through dynamic light scattering and electron microscope tests in improving the release of the antitumor drug, 5-fluorouracil.
