Abstract
The size of database and minimum number of visible stars in the field of view of star sensor are two important, influential and contradictory parameters that should be considered in design of star sensor. In this regard, the purpose of this paper is to unify the database using the uniform distribution of points on the celestial sphere with the triangulation method. For this purpose, the choice of the suitable star catalog, minimum suitable magnitude and elimination of double stars are the other steps of the uniformity process that is carried out in this study. Thus, the results of the investigations showed that Delaunay's triangulation method is faster and more accurate than the geodesic grid. Also, by simulating and performing Monte Carlo tests to count the number of stars observed in the different FOVs of a typical sensor, it was found that Delaunay's triangulation leads to a significant reduction of the probability of viewing the high density of the catalog stars in the field of view, so that the probability of observation more than 25 stars in all possible FOVs has reached to zero. On the other hand, for observing 4 or more than 4 stars at a confidence level more than 95% in non-uniform catalog, the field of view needs to be at least 12.5 degrees, while in uniform database; this field is slightly increased to more than 13 degrees. In other words, uniformity has increased the minimum field of view needed to see the minimum number of required stars.

Abstract
Vastness of operation airspace and uncertain environment in aerial search missions, makes utilizing multiple intelligent agents more preferable to integrated centralized systems due to robustness, parallel computing structure, scalability, and cost optimality of distributed systems. Cooperative search missions require the search space to be divided properly between agents. In order to minimize the uncertainty, the agents will calculate the best path in the assigned space partition. According to the communication topology, environmental information and the near-future decisions are shared between agents. In this paper, cooperative search using multiple UAVs has been considered. First, mathematical representation of the search space, kinematic and sensor model of UAVs, and communication topology have been presented. Then, an approach has been proposed to update and share information using the Bayes’ rule. Afterwards, path planning problem has been solved using different optimization algorithms namely First-order Gradient, Conjugate Gradient, Sequential Quadratic Programming, and Interior Point Algorithm. Finally, the performance of these algorithms have been compared according to mean uncertainty reduction and target detection time.

Abstract
One of the problems with the processed meat products shelf life is the formation of yellow spots in sausages. The aim of this study was to isolate and identify the microbial agents causing yellow stain from sausage by molecular- and culture-based methods. For this purpose, 15 samples from yellow spot and separation areas of chicken sausages were sampled. A total of 44 colonies grown on the MRS, M17, YGC, and PDB culture medium were inoculated into pre-packaged cutting sausages to induce the yellow spot. Yellow spots appearance9 samples and they were characterized by both culture-based methods and sequencing of a 350 bp fragment from 16S rRNA V3 region and a 800bp fragment from 18S rRNA ITS4 region. The results of the culture-based and molecular assay showed that the main causes of the yellow spots in the chicken sausage packaged under vacuum were Enterococcus faecium, Enterococcus faecalis, Streptococcus faecium and Candida saitoana. In addition, one species of Enterococcus and one species of Candida were also identified at the genus level. Examination of yellow spotted samples also showed that the microorganisms that cause yellow spotting cause changes in pH, color indices L*, a* and b*, and syneresis compared to the control sample but the rate of change is only in the syneresis quantity and a* was significant.

Abstract
In this study, different concentrations of aqueous extract of Chubak root (at levels of zero, 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2%) with different concentrations of rosemary essential oil nanoemulsion (zero, 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2%) was used to optimize the production of biodegradable gelatin-based film. Test responses were statistically significant for all fitted regression models at 99% confidence level. To optimize film production, maximum transparency, contact angle, tensile strength, Elongation at Brake to the point of rupture and minimum solubility, swelling and vapor permeability were evaluating. After fitting the models, the results showed that the effect of aqueous extract of Chubak root and rosemary essential oil nanoemulsion on all responses was significant (P <0.05). Increasing the aqueous extract of Chubak root and nanoemulsion of rosemary essential oil increased the thickness, contact angle and Elongation at Brake to the point of rupture and decreased moisture content, vapor permeability, transparency, solubility, tensile strength and swelling. Based on the results of model prediction and comparison with experimental values, aqueous extract of Chubak root at a concentration of 2% and nanoemulsion of rosemary essential oil with a concentration of 0.77% were obtained as optimal values.

Abstract
Objective: Aging can affect adaption of the heart tissue apoptotic system to aerobic exercise and induction of doxorubicin. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of pretreatment of aerobic training on doxorubicin-induced left ventricular apoptosis gene expression in aging model rats.
Methods: 42 adult Wistar male rats were randomly assigned to 6 groups of 7 rats: control of young, control of aging, aging + saline, aging + doxorubicin, aging + aerobic exercise + saline and aging + aerobic exercise + doxorubicin. Aging was induced by intraperitoneal injection of D- galactose (100mg/kg). The training protocol included treadmill running with a gradual increase between 25min/day to 54min/day and in velocity of 15m/min to 20m/min, 5 days/week for 6 weeks. During the two ultimate weeks of the training, animals underwent a 15 day intraperitoneal (i.p.) doxorubicin regimen, receiving 1 mg .kg−1 of doxorubicin per day. The rats were sacrificed 48 hours after the last training and injection session and part of the left ventricle was investigated by Real Time- PCR analysis to evaluate the expression of Bax and Bcl-2 genes expression.
Results: ANOVA revealed that doxorubicin injection induced a significant increase in expression of Bax and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio and an insignificant decrease in Bcl-2 gene expression. On the other hand, aerobic training before and during the induction of doxorubicin prevented the increase in Bax/Bcl-2 ratio and the doxorubicin-induced decrease in Bcl-2 gene expression.
Conclusion: Due to the significant decrease in Bax/Bcl-2 ratio in heart of the trained rats which were treated with doxorubicin, it can be concluded that aerobic exercise training prior to and during treatment with doxorubicin as a non-pharmacological strategy, probably protects cardiomyocytes from doxorubicin-induced apoptosis.

Abstract
Objective: There are numerous strategies to prevent hepatotoxicity caused by doxorubicin therapy. These strategies include exercise as well as herbal antioxidants such as curcumin to reduce the toxic effects of doxorubicin. This study aims to evaluate the effects of six weeks of continuous training with and without nanocurcumin supplementation on doxorubicin-induced hepatotoxicity in an aging rat model.
Methods: We randomly divided 42 Wistar male rats into 7 groups: control saline, control doxorubicin, nanocurcumin + doxorubicin, nanocurcumin + saline, continuous training + doxorubicin, continuous training + saline, and continuous training + nanocurcumin + doxorubicin. The rats received intraperitoneal injections of D-galactose (100 mg/kg) to induce ageing. The training groups ran on a treadmill for six weeks, five days per week with a gradual increase from 25 min/day to 54 min/day at a velocity of 15 m/min to 20 m/min. In the last fifteenth days, rats scheduled to received doxorubicin had a cumulative dose of 15 mg/kg of body weight (daily: 1 ml/kg). Nanocurcumin supplement (daily: 100 mg/kg body weight) was administered to the respective groups. Assessment and analysis were conducted after homogenization of the liver tissue biopsy.
Results: Doxorubicin caused a significant decrease in glutathione peroxidase and a slight increase in malondialdehyde in the liver. On the other hand, continuous training with doxorubicin treatment prevented the decrease of glutathione peroxidase and increase in malondialdehyde in the liver that was caused by doxorubicin. Also, six weeks of continuous training with nanocurcumin supplementation caused a significant decrease in malondialdehyde and increased glutathione peroxidase in the liver compared to the control doxorubicin group.
Conclusion: Based on the results, the combination of nanocurcumin supplementation and continuous training in the doxorubicin-induced aging rat model have led to a precautionary effect and up-regulation of antioxidant defense. Continuous training appeared to have more beneficial effects than nanocurcumin supplementation in reducing doxorubicin-induced hepatotoxicity.

Abstract
This paper aims to examine the effects of access to information and communication technology (ICT) on income distribution in Iranian provinces, with an emphasis on the per capita income and education. Using economic theories, the relationship between access to ICT and income distribution was evaluated within a dynamic panel model by use of Generalized method of moments (GMM) during 2010-2015. The results indicate that access to ICT significantly reduces income inequality. In addition, education as a complement factor for ICT, strengthens the positive impact of access to ICT on reducing income inequality. This impact is greater among provinces having lower GDP per capita than nation-wide GDP per capita. Furthermore, inflation rate leads to an increase in income inequality, and government spending is not an influential factor in the proper distribution of income in the provinces of Iran.

Abstract
This paper presents a new method to design stabilizing and tracking control laws for a class of nonlinear systems whose state space description is in the form of polynomial functions. This method employs the nonlinear model directly in the controller design process without the need for local about an operating point. The approach is based on the sum of squares (SOS) decomposition of multivariate polynomials which is transformed into a convex optimization problem. It is shown that the design problem can be formulated as a sum of squares optimization problem. This method can guarantee of the nonlinear system with less conservatism than based Also, a sum of squares technique is used to evaluate the stability of closed loop system state with respect to exogenous input. The nonlinear dynamic model of air vehicles can usually be expressed by polynomial nonlinear equations. Therefore, the proposed method can be applied to design an air vehicle autopilot. The hardware in the loop (HIL) simulation is an important test for evaluation of the aerospace control system before flight test. The HIL results using designed controller for a supersonic air vehicle are presented. The results from HIL is compared to the software simulation that the appropriate consistency of results shows the efficiency of the proposed method in the air vehicle autopilot control loop.

Abstract
In this research, an innovative approach has been proposed to the calculation of high order sensitivities and designing its guidance commands for an unmanned aerial vehicle landing strategy design. This method, which is called vectorised high order method, has been developed based on high order expansions method and its implementation using matrix-based mathematical calculations. In this research, a method is presented to design and extract the acceleration commands for landing maneuvers, by combining the vectorised high order expansions method and optimal control theory. Accordingly, the sensitivity variables for the given problem are calculated up to the 6th term and then the reference trajectory and acceleration command in the simulations are updated based on the initial deviations. In order to performance evaluation of the proposed method, 3 landing scenarios with the different initial deviations have been considered and the results of simulation of the proposed guidance law have been presented.

Abstract
In this study, some physicochemical properties of apple powder produced by different drying methods were evaluated. In order to investigate the storage effect on the nutritional properties of apple powders, the samples were packed in a modified atmosphere and examined at intervals of 135 and 270 days. Apple slices were dried by freeze drying, microwave and oven drying methods as well as apple juice by spraying and foam mat drying methods. The results showed that the highest levels of vitamin C (ASA), flavonoid compounds (TF) and phenolic compounds (TP) were related to powders produced by freezing and spray drying, respectively. Minimal color changes compared to fresh samples were observed in powders produced with freeze and then microwave dryers. Packaging in the modified atmosphere resulted in a significant reduction in the degradation of ASA, TF and TP compared to the normal atmosphere during 270 days of storage. The results showed that the drying method had a significant effect on the properties of apple powder and among the studied methods, freeze-dried and sprayed drying were suitable for drying apples sliced and its juice, respectively.

Abstract
Investigating the history of production and dynamics of growing or collapsing bubbles under various environmental conditions plays an important role in the correct understanding of the process of boiling, evaporation, cavitation, and condensation. In this paper, the rising shape regime the air bubble injected into the water column was studied and simulated using numerical and experimental methods. For this purpose, a column filled with water was used in the laboratory as a host fluid and using the high-speed image recording method, the most important hydrodynamic properties of the bubbles, such as velocity, size, pathway, and other bubble properties were measured. Then, using the computational fluid dynamics and the volume of fluid two-phase flow model, ascent and deformation of the single-bubble injected into a stationary reservoir were investigated and compared with previous and current experimental and numerical results. The result of this validation with a good approximation was in accordance with the reference results and it proved the correctness of the solver's and its settings. Finally, the bubble shape regime was calculated by the non-dimensional numbers of Eötvös and Morton and compared with the numerical simulation and empirical test. The regime obtained from the Clift diagram is a spherical cap regime, which at the same conditions, is in accordance with the bubble shaped regime simulated by numerical and experimental methods and this confirms the validity of the numerical solution.

Abstract
Many scientific reports have been published about the health effects of black cumin seed (Nigella sativa) oil such as anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. However, one of the main problems in extracting oil from black cumin seed (BS) is the low yield and also the low quality of the extracted oil. Various methods such as microwave treatment, roasting and soaking have been performed to improve the extraction conditions and quality of BS oil before cold pressing. In this study, BS was pre-treated with ethanol (70%) at 0 (control sample), 1, 3 and 6% and then oil extracted by cold press. Extracted oil qualitative characteristics (acid value, peroxide value, chlorophyll content, carotenoid content and total phenolic content) were assessed in production day and every 30 days during 90 days of storage. Also, oxidative stability of BS oil was measured by Schaal test. The results demonstrated that by increasing the level of ethanol in the pre-treatment of BS, acid value and peroxide value significantly (p < 0.05) decreased and oxidative stability, chlorophylls, carotenoids and phenolic contents of extracted oil significantly (p < 0.05) increased. Acid value and peroxide value increased and chlorophyll and carotenoid contents due to decomposition of their contents decreased during storage. Oil extracted from BS pre-treated with highest level of ethanol had the lowest acid value (4.61 mg NaOH/g oil) and peroxide value (7.03 meq O2/Kg oil) and the highest chlorophyll (21.21 mg/Kg oil), carotenoid (3.86 mg/Kg oil) and total phenolic (496.3 mg caffeic acid/Kg of oil) contents at the end of the storage. In conclusion, the results showed that pretreatment of BS by ethanol before cold pressing can be used to improve qualitative properties and stabilize the extracted oil.

Abstract
Aim and Introduction
The poverty is not affected only by income level. Some variables such as lack of access to welfare and health facilities, deprivation of education, physical weakness and vulnerability to diseases can be influential factors in poverty. Accordingly, indexes such as the poverty line, the percentage of poor people, and the intensity of poverty, which are used to study of the poverty in the society, do not fully represent the situation of poverty dimensions. Therefore, for measuring poverty in different dimensions, Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative in collaboration with United Nations Development Programme introduced the Multidimensional Poverty Index in 2010. This index includes deprivations such as low levels of health, lack of education, inadequate living standards, disability, low quality work, threats of violence, and living in areas with hazardous environments that poor people face in their daily lives. Several researches have been conducted on multidimensional poverty at the national and international levels, which have estimated the multidimensional poverty index using the Alkire-Foster methodological framework. At the same time, the multidimensional poverty of children has been neglected at the national level. This paper aims to study of multidimensional poverty among Iranian children based on the Alkire-Foster methodological framework. The multidimensional poverty of under five children using Multiple Indicator Demographic and Health Survey data in four dimensions of "living standards", "health", "support" and "development" has been measured.
Methodology
The Alkire-Foster methodology has been used for measuring the multidimensional poverty index. For measuring the children multidimensional poverty index (MPI) in Iran, data of the Multiple Indicator Demographic and Health Survey has been used. This survey covers the latest available data on various sociodemographic and health subjects of children, women and men. A comprehensive and new framework for measuring child poverty in Iran has been provided using the indicators of child mortality, cooking fuel, drinking water, sanitation discharge and housing from the global framework. The other indicators such as vaccination index and insufficient care has been extracted from other researches.
Findings
The results show that MPI of children in Iran is equal to 0.002. The incidence of multidimensional poverty is 0.5% and the intensity of child poverty is 38.6%. In general, the results show that girls compared to boys experience more multidimensional poverty and as mothers' education levels increase, children experience less multidimensional poverty. Children who live in large households (5 people or more) experience more multidimensional poverty compared to children who live in small households. Children in developed provinces experience multidimensional poverty less than other children and finally, children under five in the first economic quintile (the lowest economic level of the society) have the highest multidimensional poverty among all households in Iran.
Among children under five whose mothers have primary education, "health" dimension plays the most important role in measuring the multidimensional poverty index. In less developed provinces, the most important factor in mesearunig multidimensional poverty among children under five is "child development" dimension. Also, in households that have a low level of economic and social status (based on economic quintile variable), “child development " and "living standards” are important respectively.
Discussion and Conclusion
The purpose of presenting the Child multidimensional poverty index is to provide understandable and important statistics for clarify level and form of multidimensional poverty. The findings of this study, which was conducted for the first time in Iran, show that although value of the child multidimensional poverty index based on "living standards”, "health", "support" and "child development" is not a large number, however children in social and demographic groups have had encounters with different levels of multidimensional poverty. Considering that the growth and development of the children in the appropriate context is the basis for formation of a healthy and stable family and developed society, it is necessary to make policies in order to reduce the multidimensional poverty of children.

Abstract
The evaluation of the fragility functions is an analytical approach that allows different ground motions to be used at varying intensity levels and represent various characteristics of low-intensity and high-intensity shakings. The fragility curves demonstrate the structure’s probability of collapse, or other limit states, as a function of some ground motion intensity measures (IM). The intensity measure is often quantified by spectral acceleration (Sa) or peak ground acceleration (PGA). Based on the statistical procedures, the parameters of the fragility functions are computed by assessing the results of nonlinear dynamic time history analyses. Therefore, the probability of failure associated with a prescribed criterion (e.g. the maximum inter-story drift) is estimated based on the probabilistic distribution relations.
This paper evaluates the effects of internal flexural frames on the seismic performance of diagrid structures based on fragility curves. This evaluation is achieved by designing a group of 24-story studied diagrid models with various diagonal angles of 49, 67, and 74 according to the Iranian Standard No. 2800 (4th edition) and the Iranian National Building Code (Steel Structures-Issue 10). Then, some specific interior gravity frames of the studied diagrid models are replaced with bending frames. The seismic vulnerability of the studied diagrid structures with and without internal bending frames is assessed using nonlinear time history and incremental dynamic analyses (IDA) under near-field earthquake records containing different directivity effects. Finally, the fragility curves for the studied structures were obtained based on the lognormal probabilistic distribution function for the seismic performance limit states including IO, LS, CP, and global instability (GI). Moreover, the seismic performance levels of the studied structures were determined based on the FEMA 356.
The results of performed nonlinear time history analyses indicate that the application of internal bending frames in diagrid structures would reduce the value of inter-story drift in upper floor levels, especially when the angles of exterior diagonal members are large. The results also show that the global instability of diagrid structures without internal bending frames can occur at a faster rate than the skeletal models with internal bents. Also, the contribution of the internal bending frames in improving the nonlinear behavior of diagrid structures depends on the perimeter triangular patterns. Due to this dependency, the increase in the angle of the inclined members in skeletal geometric configuration can increase the effectiveness of the internal bending frames in preventing the occurrence of global dynamic instability. The fragility curves of the studied diagrid structures illustrate that the internal bending frames reduce potentially excessive seismic performance levels. Furthermore, the internal bending frames amplify the seismic energy dissipation capability of the diagrid structures.

Abstract
Universal literary theory is a new critical approach that aims to study universal mechanisms literary work at the levels of Inline text, language, and framework. The Universality is to achieve the level of universal recognition of the greatness of literary work and the desire to translate, read and study. There is no doubt that the efforts of Najib Mahfouz in the case of the novel had a great significance in the movement of Arab narratives towards the world. This article attempts to investigate the Universal literary elements in the novel "Our neighborhood kids" within the Universal literary theory, through a curriculum that is a bridge between the Universal literary theory and the descriptive-analytical approach. The results indicate that this novel has the advantages to qualify for the presence in the world space, the most important is the victory of Najib Mahfouz Nobel Prize. In addition to the presence of Inline text element’s such as the conflict between religion and knowledge, and the balance between Egyptian society and the Universal level in terms of ideas, the author's involvement in Egypt's political power and culture has helped him gain access to the Universal literary space. Then translating the novel into the most important languages of the world, such as English and French, which helped her to cross the border of Egypt. But the universality of this novel does not imply the availability of all the elements of the Universal literary

Abstract
Tribalism was the most important component of the thoughts and behavior of Arabs who had transformed themselves into Islam. In the teachings of Islam, there was no place for tribal prejudice, and the Prophet (PBUH) did not give it an opportunity to rise through his revelation and management. Tribalism re-emerged with the passing of the Prophet and gradually became a discourse and affected many issues of the Islamic community. Families are important components of tribal discourse, and Hashemites, as one of the three famous families of Quraysh, as well as the founding family of Islam, are more than others in the context of its developments and currents. The main issue of this research is the question of how did tribalism affect the virtue and identity of Hashemites after the Prophet? After a descriptive-analytical survey, it was revealed that the Prophet of Islam did not define identity and virtue separately from other Muslims, and the privileges of Ahl al-Bayt and Zil-Qoraba, which were limited to five in the time of the Prophet, were due to their records and virtues and had no connection of being Hashemite. But with tribalism overcoming after the Hashemite Prophet, they were given the opportunity to make themselves a partner in the virtues of the Prophet's household and inheritance. The caliphs' actions and their own aspirations contributed to this issue. The Hashemite gradually shared with the Ahl al-Bayt virtues and found a new identity, and, relying on this identity, claimed the most important legacy of the Prophet, i.e. the leadership.

Abstract
cost-effectiveness, and reliability. Despite numerous experimental studies on pressure-swirl atomizer spray, a comprehensive mathematical model for predicting spray characteristics has not yet been presented. Additionally, there is no consensus on the distribution function accurately describing droplet size dispersion. In the present study, the main characteristics of pressure-swirl atomizer spray, including discharge coefficient, spray cone angle and droplet size distribution, were experimentally investigated using the shadowgraph technique. The study spanned a wide range of Reynolds numbers, from 1250 to 8500, encompassing laminar, transition, and atomization regimes. The findings showed that the discharge coefficient initially declined during the transition stage, followed by a gradual increase up to the atomization regime. In the atomization regime, the discharge coefficient remained almost constant. A similar trend was observed for the spray cone angle throughout the transient and atomization phases. The gamma distribution function provided a favourable fit with the experimental drop size distribution in the near-ligament location, where primary breakup mechanisms dominate. The log-normal distribution function showed superior fitting with the experimental droplet size distribution for regions distant from the liquid sheet disintegration point, where secondary breakup mechanisms exert a more pronounced influence on droplet dispersion. Overall, these findings provide valuable insights into spray characteristics and associated uncertainties.

Abstract
Harold Bloom's "anxiety of influence" theory is one of the postmodern flows influenced by Nietzsche's philosophy and Oedipus Freud's theory of relationship between poets and critics, relying on two terms "backward" and "predecessor".Based on this theory, every poet tries to free himself from the anxiety of his influence by employing different mechanisms and proving his independence from the predecessor. Ignoring the extent to which this theory can be applied to all poets and critics, as Harold Bloom puts it. The study of the poetic collection "Al-Ketab", in the present moment" and the assignment of this collection to the text, along with the recitation of the poet's life and poetry by Adonis, are the main motivation.The authors used a descriptive-analytical approach to read this series in the light of the theory of "anxiety of influence ". The results showed that by using modern historical criticism and deconstruction in relative reading, Adonis attempted to exert his independence in three stages by employing mechanisms of influence retreat, denial of sanctity, and self-criticism of the predecessor.

Abstract
The present tries to study and review the manner the discourse analysis method is being used in family studies. This method especially emphasizes the role of research in the social context. Considering the key role of the family and women and their place in ensuring the prosperity, this sacred institution should be researched upon in this so that we can reveal the structures and processes that are based on ideology and power. However, considering past researches in the field of women and family, a majority of researchers have paid little attention to the social context while investigating those problems. Therefore, it seems a research gap in this field and hence, this article aims to answer to this question: How can family and women's issues be investigated through the discourse analysis method? The influencing factors on this social phenomenon have been written with the aim of determining the type of linguistic strategies in representation, alienation, highlighting, etc. And in the meantime, we will also discuss the evolution of the discourse analysis method. In order to achieve this goal and to understand this matter more easily, we have used the movies Kitab Qanun (Book of Law), Abed and One Day (Forrever and One Day) as examples.

Abstract
Receiving the Qur’an as a literary text is one of the epistemological responses of scholars to this text in the twentieth century. This kind of reception has a long history in the Islamic heritage, especially in the studies of Qur’anic commentators and scholars, but there are fundamental differences between the literary reading of the Qur’an in the past and in the present. These differences arise from the methods used to analyze and study the literary text. If we look at the Qur’an as a literary text from the perspective of modern theories, we encounter with challenges because the literary text, under in this view, is considered an open and pluralistic text in terms of meaning, during its formation and reception. This article examines the challenges raised by receiving the Qur’an as a literary text in light of "Reception Theory". In this regard, it is observed that the principle of coherence provides us with a criterion for distinguishing interpretations close and far from the truth of the Qur’an and contributes to framing the reader's participation in the process of reading the Qur'an as a literary text from the perspective of modern theories.
