This growing interest in animal welfare has motivated legislators to set new rules. The most important concerns regarding dairy cow welfare include whether the dairy cow is feeling well, functioning well, and performing natural behavior. Cow behavior and comfort level have a direct relationship with her production and health and cow comfort is one of the most important factors affecting the profitability of dairy farms due to its association with premature slaughter, survival of cows and reproductive life (number of complete lactations before slaughter). In this paper, we explained the concept of comfort in dairy cattle and its risk factors such as stall design, floor type, density, lameness and heat stress. Then the measures of cow comfort are introduced and the management considerations related to cattle comfort are discussed. Manuscript profile -

In alluvial land consisting of loose sediments (e.g., sand or gravel) with a water table near land surface, one of the most economical methods for extracting water in large volumes is the use of wells with large diameter such as Felmann Well. In this study, we investigated the effect of Felmann Wells and riverbank filtration process on improving the water quality parameters of surface water. For this, Doogh River and a Felmann Well were sampled simultaneously within a 5-month period. SPSS software and T-tset were used to determine the significant difference between data obtained from chemical analysis. Comparison of water quality parameters of Doogh River and Felmann Well showed that riverbank filtration can play an important role in reducing the physical and biological parameters of water in Felmann Well drilled near the river. For drinking water purpose, the water quality of both Doogh River and Felmann Well was investigated using WQI (Water Quality Index). Hence, the WQI for Doogh River water varied from 50 to 57, which indicated the average quality of the water of the Doogh River. While, WQI value varied from 64 and 75 for the Felmann well representing a good water quality in the well. Results of this study showed that the Felmann wells which were drilled near the riverbank can play an important role in improving the water quality parameters of surface water for drinking purposes.

The study area is a part of the Central Iranian structural-sedimentary zone, located in the Saveh area. By studying the geological and topographic maps and using digital elevation data, it was evaluated the rate of relative active tectonics of this area, using some of the geomorphic indexes such as Hi, Re ,Bs, AF, Vf, Vc, V, SL, Smf and Iat. These indexes which have been measured and compared in eight fronts and nine basins (Shur-payeinii, Lar, Bidlu, Amirabad, Shur-baleii, Eshtehard, Buin Zahra, Arab and Kharrud) resulted to present the active tectonic zonation map for the study area. The measured Hi index shows the relative maturity of all basins and the Arab basin has the most relative tectonic activity compared to other basins. The Re index shows the highest elongation for Lar, Bidlu and Kharrud basins and the least elongation for Shur-payeinii basin. The AF index shows the highest uplift for the Bidlu basin, which is located on the right side of this basin. Vf, Vc and V indexes represent the lowest rate of activity in the valleys which are located on the border between the Shur-baleii and Amirabad basins, the southern part is the Lar basin and the border between Amirabad and Bidlu basins. The Kharrud, Buin Zahra and Arab basins are the most active basins based on the SL index. The Smf index indicates the high activity for all basins. According to active tectonic zonation map, it is possible to show that on the border between the Eshtehard, Shur-baleii, Lar, Bidlu and Amirabad basins which are located in 1 class, have the highest degree of activity. These basins are affected by behavior Jaru, Gomorkan, Ipak, Takidagh, and Alishar faults. Other parts along the mountain fronts are also located in 2 class and are active. The low-lying areas (Kharrud, Buin Zahra and Arab basins) located in 3 class, have the least degree of activity. The highest rate of SL index is for Kharrud, Buin Zahra and Arab basins. This high rate resulted to the seismic and active Ipak fault. According to Smf index, Amirabad basin is the most active basins. Vf index represent the lowest rate which are located on the border between the Shur-baleii and Amirabad basins. This border is located on Jaru and Gomorkan faults. Manuscript profile -

The mineralization in the Tupchi area is of type copper. The ore minerals include pyrite, chalcocite, bornite, chalcopyrite and other minerals include malachite and azurite that occur within the Miocene sandstone sedimentary rocks. Based on the Index Combined Variety, deposition of mineralized sandstone in Tupchi area, accurred in the first sedimentary cycle. This was confirmed by the presence of unstable minerals such as lithic grains, feldspar and mafic minerals. The study of the source rock and the type of mineralization that occurred in these sandstones, indicate their formation from the erosion of mafic to intermediate igneous rocks in semi-arid climatic conditions. Two and multi variable statistical studies indicate that there is a good correlation between copper –silver and zinc, which is due to the similar behavior of these elements. The Red Bed type mineralization took place in this area according to type of mineralized host rock, ore mineralogy, ore structure, type of alteration, reduce factor and mineralization control (plant remains), and finally, the comparison with known deposits in Iran.

For this purpose, the analysis results of elven physicochemical parameters related to four hydrometric stations over a ten-year statistical period were used. Gibbs, Stiff, Piper, Durov diagrams as well as five saturation indices for carbonate, sulfate and chloride minerals were used to study the hydrochemical evolution of the river. Water quality changes in drinking (using Schoeller Diagram), agricultural (using Wilcox Diagram), and industrial (using corrosion indices) sectors along the Gorganrud River were also investigated. In this study, F test and hierarchical cluster analysis were used to analyze the variance of data and the number of factors affecting water hydrochemistry, respectively. The results showed that rock-water reaction, evaporation, and Gorgan Gulf saline water intrusion are the most important factors controlling the river water chemistry. Also, the water dominant type of Gorganrud River at the highlands margin is bicarbonate and as it enters the plain, it tends to reach full maturity, the type of sodium chloride. At all stations, river water is supersaturated with respect to calcite and dolomite but it is under saturated respect to anhydrite, gypsum and halite. However, evaporite minerals saturation increases in the flow direction. The quality of water for drinking and agriculture is suitable at the margins of highlands and as it enters the plain and the path to the Gorgan Gulf decreases sharply. According to the statistical analysis results, the most changes in physicochemical parameters are obtained between the Lazoure Station at the highlands margin and the Qazaghli Station in the middle part of the plain and after that no significant changes were observed between the quality parameters until Gorganroud outlet.

Research in this context has been conducted with the help of information retrieval techniques, in which high frequency words in a document that appeared sporadically in the whole corpus received higher weight than others. In contrast, the words which appeared in many news of a corpus, during a certain time, indicate the importance of an event. In our research, to address this contradiction, a new technique of assigning weight to influential words of news is presented. Financial news of Iran Central Bank (CBI) and actual data of Tehran Stock Exchange Index (TSEI) in the duration of 2005 to 2020 AD were utilized to evaluate the proposed method. The empirical results show 64% and 41% accuracy of trend prediction when TSEI moves upward and downward respectively and about 10% decreasing in Mean Absolute Error (MAE) to compare with prevalent techniques. While, the changes of the ratio between the number of positive and negative words in news does not offer predictive or analytical evidences, our results show that, there still exists a meaningful relationship between CBI news and TSEI fluctuations.

In this paper, using Wikipedia corpus and organizing it by three-dimensional tensor structure, a novel corpus-based approach for computing semantic similarity of texts is proposed. For this purpose, first the semantic vector of available words in documents are obtained from the vector space derived from available words in Wikipedia articles, then the semantic vector of documents is formed according to their words vector. Consequently, measuring the semantic similarity of documents can be done by comparing their semantic vectors. The vector space of the corpus of Wikipedia will cause the curse of dimensionality challenge because of the existence of the high-dimension vectors. Usually vectors in high-dimension space are very similar to each other; in this way, it would be meaningless and vain to identify the most appropriate semantic vector for the words. Therefore, the proposed approach tries to improve the effect of the curse of dimensionality by reducing the vector space dimensions through random indexing. Moreover, the random indexing makes significant improvement in memory consumption of the proposed approach by reducing the vector space dimensions. The addressing capability of synonymous and polysemous words in the proposed approach will be feasible by means of the structured co-occurrence through random indexing. Manuscript profile -

This paper discusses relay channel polarization in order to achieve the capacity and it has been shown that polarization of two relay channels can be given a more achievable rate region in the general form. This method is compatible with the original vision of polarization based on the combining, splitting and polarizing of channels and it has been shown that the complexity of encoding and decoding for these codes in mentioned method are O(N log〖N)〗, and also error probability for them is O(2^(〖-(N)〗^β )). Choose the best sub-channels in polarized relay channels for sending data is a big trouble in this structure. In this paper, we have been presented a new scheme for choosing a good index for sending the information bits in relay channels polarized in order to have the best performance by using sending information bits over FIF sets.

Since the early 1970s, considering the role of woman in development of societies and empowering women at various stages of development and the problem of solving social, political and cultural drawbacks were accepted globally as a priority. Several studies indicate that today, women have a dual position in Iran. Based on the findings related to educational and health indices and determining political participation, Iranian women are placed in a better situation than the majority of Islamic and regional developing countries. However, the fact is that Iranian women still have a long way to achieve their actual position. Therefore, the present research aimed at comparing the statue of Iranian women with high- developed countries on the basis of UNESCO human development indices. Regarding method, it is descriptive- analytic and has compared the human development index of Iran with that of high- developed countries in a 10- year period referring to valid documents and human development reports of the United Nations. This included the rank of each country and the rate of each main index to calculate the human development index in each country. Sampling was done purposefully. In fact, a number of countries chose having a much higher human development index than Iran. The findings displayed that there is a significant difference between literacy, life expectancy and annual income of Iranian women and that of developed countries. The results of this study showed that the status of Iranian women is weak compared to women of highly- developed countries which in turn require precise planning improving human development index among Iranian women.

But, the truth is that one of the fundamental steps for the development of entrepreneurship is its assessment. Entrepreneurship evaluation should be done based on indexes and global standards so that not only provides a clear picture to the status of entrepreneurship at the national level, But also, provides the possibility of measuring and comparing to the other countries in the field of entrepreneurship development. More than 95percent of the world GDP formed by the Members of GEM. GEM Programs are evaluated based on three indicators: "perceptions and entrepreneurial tendencies," "entrepreneurial activities" and "entrepreneurial passion". Among the 67 countries, Iran is ranked 30th based on Toddler entrepreneurs’ index equals to 11 percent. This index has increasing trend in the past five years, and its value is much greater than the other countries in Middle East. Also the Index of Entrepreneurial Intent in Iran equals to 28/22%, and our country is in 35th place among 67 countries. The Opportunity-oriented entrepreneurship index has grown among other entrepreneurial activity index, (from 5.67% in 1390 to 6.24% in 1391). This means that mandatory Entrepreneurship has decreased. Also the understanding of entrepreneurial opportunities index has increased from 32% in 1390 to 39/2% in 1391. Finally, for fear index of failure, Iran is in 39th place among 67 countries that shows the Iranian low-risk tendency for starting a business. Manuscript profile -

This word has attracted the attention of many scholars and experts. The global index of knowledge based economy has four foundations, and innovation is one of these bases. In the area of innovation, Iran has less privilege than the global average. In order to promote the level of innovation and, consequently, the level of knowledge-based economy, using the global statistics in the field of knowledge based economy and innovation, in this paper first of all, we recognize the important input factors influencing the innovation and then we compare the status of these inputs with the global average. After identifying the weaknesses in the inputs, the status of these measures is reviewed in the Sixth Development Plan document. According to the findings, it was found that in the sixth program of development, only gross domestic product (GDP) per unit of energy consumption was pointed out, and no direct reference was made to other measures. Comparison of measures with the global average showed that in order to improve the output of innovation, the country needs to improve the level of research and development, knowledge workers, ICT and the political environment.

The communication, control, and measurement infrastructures create a two-way intelligent communication between users and the network which facilitates the effective implementation of demand response programs (DRPs) such as the direct load control (DLC). In this paper, optimal power flow as an important research topic in the power systems is presented based on DLC and a new voltage stability index. Simple calculations, voltage dependence, indirect dependence to the load and network topology, and also not reducing the network into a two-bus equivalent model, have made the proposed voltage stability index more applicable to real-time calculations considering the load pattern changes. In the proposed method, the optimal load curtailment in some selected loads of the network, with the aim of improving the voltage stability index of the weakest bus is evaluated. Finally, in order to show the effectiveness of the suggested method, it is applied to a 69-bus radial distribution network as an intelligent system. Manuscript profile -

Different structures of impedance source inverters have been introduced for improving the performance of power inverters. Due to their specific structure, these inverters use shoot-through state in order to increase the output voltage. Therefore, in addition to improving the reliability of systems, they create a single-stage dc-ac inverter capable of reducing and increasing voltage at the same time. Recently, a three-winding network called the A-source network has been introduced. A new Pulse Width Modulation method has been proposed to improve the voltage gain and reduce switching losses. In this new method, duty cycle of the switch is controlled using the third harmonic injection and the new reference voltages in the three-phase A-source inverter. The proposed modulation method reduces the switching losses and increases voltage gain without adding any additional hardware to the inverter structure. In this method, the buck-boost single-stage structure of the inverter is maintained. In this paper, the proposed method is partially analyzed and compared to the conventional Pulse Width Modulation methods. In this method, the third harmonic injection is used to increase the modulation index to 1.15 and thereby reduce the switching losses. The simulation of the proposed and conventional methods and analyzes, demonstrated the ability of the proposed system. Manuscript profile -

In the past studies, Markov process and comparison-based methods were mainly used to predict the changes of vegetation indices, whose accuracy still needs improvement. Although time series analysis has been used to predict some indices, the method to extract these indices from remote sensing data and model their sequences with deep learning is rarely observed. In this article, a method for predicting changes in plant indices based on deep learning is presented. The research data includes Landsat satellite images from 2000 to 2018, related to four seasons in the north and east of Shahrood city in Semnan province. The time span of the extracted images makes it possible to predict changes in vegetation cover. Vegetation indices extracted from the data set are NDVI, SAVI and RVI. After performing atmospheric corrections on the images, the desired indicators are extracted and then the data is converted into a time series. Finally, the modeling of the sequence of these data is performed by the Short-Long-Term Memory (LSTM) network. The results of the experiments show that the deep network is able to predict future values with high accuracy. The amount of the model error without additional data is 0.03 for the NDVI index, 0.02 for the SAVI index, and 0.06 for the RVI index. Manuscript profile -

The study deploys a descriptive research design and a combination of survey approaches – including field study, interviews, focus groups, longitudinal study and trend analysis – for data collection. The main basis for data collection and analysis is a Training and Development Excellence Model, which is used for evaluating the organizations under study. The statistical population of the study is comprised of all Iranian organizations that are active in five businesses; services, manufacturing, health and medicine, finance and insurance, and education. Moreover, these organizations are categorized into (1) large and (2) small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) each of which are further divided into private and public businesses. According to this algorithm and using a combinational approach, 20 organizations are selected as the sample population from the four categories described above via purposeful single-stage cluster sampling. Apart from literature review, methods such as interviews and focus groups are conducted in the evaluation process. The collected data are analyzed for descriptive statistics including the indicators of central tendency and dispersion. Furthermore, levels of excellence are analyzed with radar logic. The results indicate that the status of training situation differs for types of business, sizes of enterprise and types of organizational ownership. Of the five types of business, organizations active in the banking and financial sector scored highest on three key indicators of training performance: the average direct cost of training per employee, hours of training per employee, and the ratio of trained employees to the total staff. Organizations active in the manufacturing sector had the highest performance only in the key indicator of the ratio of trained employees to the total staff. Moreover, large-sized organizations had a better performance than SMEs and private organizations had a better performance than public organizations in all the four indicators of performance. The findings also suggest that organizations active in banking and finance, manufacturing, health and medicine, education, and services have shown the lowest degree of overall satisfaction with training performance.

Therefore, in order to achieve the objectives of the research, using the centrality index and applying 35 variables, the studied settlements were classified at different functional levels (5 levels). It is noteworthy that the present study is applied in terms of purpose and based on descriptive-analytical method. The method of data collection is due to the nature of library and field research. Geographical territory of research is Zebarkhan village of Neishabour city. The findings of the study indicate that the lack of proper distribution of services and lack of spatial balance has increased mobility and movement between human settlements in the countryside. Hence, the two settlements of Ghadamgah, Darrud, have become the main places of intra-district traffic with the first ranks. Meanwhile, the villages of Bazhidar, Aliabad, Cheshmeh Khosrow, Mohammadabad, Qaredash, Qarebeik and Kalateh Lavidani are at the lowest level of development (deprived) and lack the minimum services and facilities.The results indicate that the pattern of flows is one-way relationships and no complementary, two-way and synergistic relationships are formed.

Consumers worry about buying a product from "anonymous" sellers without physically testing the products. Therefore, it is assumed that people may feel a certain degree of risk when buying a product online. Accordingly, the current study aims to assess the risk indicators affecting the behavior of television purchases in Iran. To have this type of purchase, was selected. In this study, a standard questionnaire was used online and the data were analyzed using SPSS software and structural equation modeling method in Smart Pls software. According to the research literature, 6 types of risks that could affect consumers' TV buying behavior were identified, and based on the results, it was determined that financial, operational and time risks affect shopping behavior. Based on the results, it can be said that the perception of risk in TV shopping affects consumer buying behavior and high level of this risk (s) can prevent the purchase of goods through this channel, so TV marketers need to be diligent in identifying, reducing and minimizing the risks perceived by the consumer by building trust and confidence.

Also, the facade is one of the most effective features in creating visual quality for the audience. While Facade design has continued with the least fluctuation until the last decade in the art of architecture, today we witness the emergence of facades with the name of neoclassical (Roman) in the context of Iranian cities. This type of facade uses similar elements such as columns, entrance stairs, proportion, order, and symmetry in stone materials. Neo-classical architecture has inspired government buildings in Iran, although it has less attention to the precise proportions of classical architecture and its intellectual insight. Hence, this study aims to investigate the four economic, social, aesthetic, and fashion indicators in the emergence of the neoclassical facade according to Watson's behaviorist approach. It seems that these four indicators are important according to John B. Watson's behaviorist approach to the emergence of the neoclassical facade. The research method is survey-based. In this article, first, the origin of these facades in Greek and Roman architecture also, in the Qajar and Pahlavi eras are historically analyzed. Then, according to Watson's psychological approach, each environmental stimuli is addressed through a Likert scale questionnaire, considering the statistical population in Shahin Shahr and calculating the number of households using Cochran's formula. It is concluded that the economic, aesthetic, fashion, and social indicators, respectively, in the emergence of the neoclassical facade have motivated the purchase of the buildings with these facades through analyzing and evaluating the questionnaire, using SPSS software, and the received response from the stimulus.

Moreover, one of tourism climatologists' goals is to identify different types of climates that affect tourism. Therefore, this study sought to investigate the relationship between climatic variables, climate-related indicators, and tourism in the most important tourist destinations of Astara, including Heyran mountain pass and Bibiyanlou forest park in terms of Tourism Climate Index (TCI) and Holiday Climate Index (HCI), using indices such as temperature, relative humidity, rainfall, cloud cover, and wind speed during a 15-year period (2005-2020). The results of the monthly survey of the TCI index showed that the region had a good rank in this regard in October (TCI = 65) and July (TCI = 69), a very good rank (TCI = 79) in May, and an excellent rank (TCI = 80) in June. Moreover, the results of the HCI showed that January and July had good ratings (with their HCI values being 69 and 65, respectively). The months of June and February (HCI = 75) had very good ranks, the months of May and April had excellent ranks (with their HCI values being 89 and 85, respectively), and the month of March had an ideal rank (HCI = 93). It was also found that in the early spring and summer (corresponding to the holiday season) when the climatic conditions were more favorable, the region was more visited by tourists. However, the region would probably be less welcomed by the tourists during the working and exam seasons. The results of the present study could be helpful in improving tourism activities based on climatic conditions, managing tourism in terms of providing the tourists with the required equipment and their needs during the tourism peaks, and providing for the required infrastructure to overcome the difficulties and attract tourists at other times.

In this study, circulation climate index (TCI) and 7 climatic variables have been used to calculate the values of major and minor TCI indices. These climatic data for a period of 20 years from 1990 to 2011 related to the synoptic station of Khorasan Razavi province, north and south were received through the website of the Meteorological Organization. In order to zoning the tourism climate conditions of the northeastern half of Iran from the conversion of station point information to surface information, GIS software was used. The tourist climate conditions of Northeast Iran were studied on a monthly basis using the tourist climate index. The results for each month are presented separately in the research findings. The results showed that the TCI index in different regions of the study area has a great variety. According to the annual characteristics of the index (TCI) in the provinces, May, June, July, August and September (May, June, July, August and September) have the best conditions in terms of climatic comfort of tourists and the month January, February, November and March (December, January, February and March) have the worst conditions in this regard. The study and comparison of the results obtained from the TCI index for different regions of the province indicate the concordance and appropriateness of the research results with the climatic realities of these regions.

The existence of many complexities in the path of creation to the application of innovation has caused many scholars to consider innovation in the form of an ecosystem. One of the reports that measures the innovation ecosystem in detail is the Global Innovation Index. This index examines different aspects of innovation by using seven pillars, each of these pillars has three sub-pillars and each sub-pillar has a number of indicators. With a history of 12 years in the report, Iran has gone through a growing trend, so that it has reached from the 120th rank in 2014 to the 53rd rank in 2022. The study of Iran's situation in various indicators shows that the country has a very favorable situation in the world in the education of university graduates, scholarly publications and domestic patents, while it has an unfavorable situation in the indicators related to the business environment and innovation collaborations. Due to the lack of data or not being up-to-date, Iran's situation in some indicators and sub-columns cannot be accurately cited. This point clearly shows that the policy maker must have an up-to-date internal database to evaluate the innovation ecosystem in order to adopt effective and flexible policies. Manuscript profile -

A composite index is used to measure Iran's economic resilience. This index covers the three dimensions of economic stability, welfare effects, concentration and export variety. The results confirm that Iran's economic resilience has changed from 0.31 to 0.51 during the period 1995-2016. It should be mentioned that the size of this index decreased to its lowest level in 2013 due to the sanctions imposed by the United Nations. In addition, variables such as economic complexity, economic freedom, good governance and capital formation have positive and significant effect on the Iran's economy resilience, while the openness of the economy had a negative effect on it. The estimation results of the model show that JCPOA has had a positive and significant effect on Iran's economy resilience. This agreement has had a significant effect on Iran's economy and world markets by canceling and removing nuclear sanctions against Iran. The implementation of this agreement has facilitated the entry of technology and investment of the world's oil companies in Iran. Manuscript profile -

Materials and Methods: Examining the impact of short-term stress on depressive-like behavior and motor activity in rats is a crucial aspect of behavioral and neuroscience research. Short-term stress can influence rats' depressive-like behavior and decrease their motor activity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of short-term stress on depressive-like behavior and the running index of male Wistar rats, as well as the relationship between the two variables. Results: Short-term stress significantly increased the 24-hour running index (P=0.01). The depression-like behavior of rats after stress induction did not show any significant difference. There was no significant relationship between the amount of running and depressive-like behavior (P=0.13). Conclusion: Based on the present findings, short-term stress caused an increase in the activity of male Wistar rats, which was not related to depressive-like behavior. Manuscript profile
