Evolutionary algorithms are a part of metaheuristics and commonly used for optimization, but very few researches about these algorithms have been conducted on cryptographic systems’ security. The Symmetric Evolutionary Ciphering (SEC) is one of these, it transforms the encryption issue into a combinatorial optimization problem and uses evolutionary algorithms to solve it.\n In this paper, we present a combination of our original system SEC and a new subdivision process which we are called “Break-Down Process”. This later is applied to the cipher text obtained by the SEC system to reach equilibrium the characters’ appearance frequencies. Thus, our main objective of this combination is to change the appearance frequencies of plaintext to end the frequency analysis attack. \nTo put our new system to the proof, we have selected texts with different sizes and compared the results of the appearance frequency of the cipher text once obtained by the SEC system without the new break-down process and another time with this later. The final solution of the system gives excellent results and proves the robustness of this work. Furthermore, the key generated by this system is so important: first; because it is a session key and then it’s so large to be broken. Reason why, the resistance of our new system will be increased against the brute force attack also

We introduce a new class of meromorphically analytic functions, which is\ndefined by means of a Hadamard product (or convolution) involving Hurwitz-Lerch-Zeta\nfunction. A characterization property giving the coefficient bounds is obtained for this\nclass of functions. The other related properties, which are investigated in this paper, include\ndistortion and the radii of starlikeness and convexity. Several applications are also\nconsidered of our main results to generalized hypergeometric functions.

Contemporary global system and its actors are the key elements for my analysis. I argue that the current global system generates not only the international but also, and more importantly, a global order – more precisely a global social order. To illustrate my argument, I discuss and propose a possible reform of the current global system and new interactions of actors at the beginning of the twenty-first century. My central argument is focused on the radical change of social relations among individual actors which leads to the fundamental modification of the current global system. Social change is the core of my ground. The system or the modality of governance and order are mutually constitutive of one another. Neither one precedes the other, meaning the system of governance cannot exist without order and order cannot exist without governance. The principal question I pose is how can the „effective“ global social order be achieved? By effective I mean a global social order where mutual social cooperation among particular components of the global social system is accentuated. I base my analysis on the model of global governance which is commonly defined in literature as a non-authoritative but, nevertheless, a very efficient way of governance and put an emphasis on the consideration of the participation of non-state actors, which, as a result, opens the possibility for the creation of an entirely new and historically unprecendented human community – the global civil society within the current system of global social order.

Construction sites are considered as one of the dangerous workplaces to the employed workers and studies have revealed that material handling equipment form the major cause of accidents at these sites. Although several safety measures are being continuously implemented, the accident rate is still high, since workers operating with material handling equipment are either unaware of hazards or the safety regulations are not being strictly followed. This article analyses the safety management systems at construction sites through means of questionnaire surveys with employees, specifically referring to material handling equipment safety. Based on results of these surveys, two construction sites were selected for a safety education program targeting worker safety related to material handling equipment. The program consists of three different self-instructional modules intended to improve the safety awareness of workers. The knowledge of workers were tested before and after the program through two different set of questionnaires and the results were subjected to a t-test analysis to find out the significance of the conducted safety education program.

Peach (Prunus persica L.) is the most important stone fruit crop in the world, and the bioactive compositions in fruit flesh have the properties in antioxidant capacity, diabetes, cancer, etc. In this study, Changes in fruit quality, content of bioactive compositions and antioxidant capacity were determined by spectrophotometer or GC-MS (gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer). The genes expression of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate oxidase (ACCo) and Endo-Polygalacturonase (Endo-PG) was detected by qPCR (quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction). The results indicated that the fruit flesh firmness, total acidity (TA) and the content of total phenolics decreased, while the total soluble solids (TSS), ripening index (RI), and the content of flavonoids, anthocyanins, Vitamin C and aroma volatiles increased with the fruit matured. Among of the 7 main components of aroma volatiles, the contents of trans-2-hexenal and cis-3-hexenol decreased, the contents of γ-dodecalactone, γ-decalactone, δ-decalactone, γ-hexalactone and γ-octalactone were accumulated significantly. The gene expression of ACCo and Endo-PG had variable changes but positive with most of bioactive compositions, and then promoted the antioxidant capacity during the fruit ripening. In conclusion, the gene expression of ACCo and Endo-PG had variable effects on the physiological and biochemical changes in peach fruit flesh. The present study would pave the way for the elucidation of the relationship between gene expression of ACCo and Endo-PG and changes in physiology and biochemistry.

By comprehensive definition, industrialization is a production paradigm consisting of those methods that by optimizing exploitation of equipment, facilities, and technology could improve resource consumption as well as labor usage. Actually, industrialization means not just prefabrication rather includes pre-assembly, modularization, and applying new technologies too in construction process. Industrialization is a process that by improving quality, construction time, and labor usage increases system output and optimizes exploitation of equipment, facilities, and technology. Therefore, we talk about those plants manufacturing all types of parts necessary for construction with the purpose of increasing, quality, cost, and output. Based on industrial method, construction parts are manufactured through single approach and standard in a centralized manner and finally become installed by mechanized approach. As necessary standards are defined in industrial method, medullar production could be possible and resource wasting would be decreased while manufacturing speed would be increased. Therefore, one of the \"complete industrial\" manufacturing primary prerequisites is to define construction standards based on regional and cultural characteristics, as well as human needs. The current article analyses each of technologies in two main areas of structure and architecture. The main elements of research are based on quality measurement in order to achieving mentioned purpose, finding distinct position for construction ability and exploitation of each technology in construction industry

Recent advances in wireless technologies, infrastructure less, and flexibility have made Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) sufficient to provide the required Quality of Service (QoS) for multimedia streams. To meet the application requirements, routing protocols need to interact with fast varying topology due to the highly available wireless devices and its possibility to move anywhere in the network. The unreliable network topology and the time varying channel capacity makes the scarcity of network resources and impact on QoS factors such as bandwidth, delay, packet loss, traffic, and throughput. To provide guarantees to the data delivery timeliness for multimedia streams, propose a Two Hop Based Directional Routing (THDR) over MANET environment. The THDR takes into account both the MANET characteristics and the requirements of real time multimedia streams. Each device employs two-hop information to take the routing decision to handle the communication-hole in the network topology. The estimation of delay and bandwidth relies on the network resources supports for the data delivery timeliness over widely varying network topology. In addition, it includes the benefits of network constraints and the mobility prediction to enhance the multimedia streams. The key contribution of the proposed THDR protocol is achieving the reliable data delivery through the combination of 2-hop information, hop-to-hop delay estimation, the node mobility direction, and resource allocation. The performance evaluation results show that THDR outperforms the existing protocols over multimedia streams.

This study is an attempt to assess the students\' reaction to the integration of technology into the traditional EFL classroom. It draws on the general assumption that technology not only accommodates students\' multiple intelligences but also empowers the students so that they could effectively take responsibility for their learning both inside and outside the classroom. In that connection, a post-course questionnaire was administered to fifty male and female students of different academic backgrounds (humanities and applied sciences), attending English classes at Majma\'ah University (MU) and King Abdul Aziz University (KAU) to elicit answers to three research questions, which focused on the students\' attitude towards the use of technology in the traditional classroom and if there are attitudinal differences given rise by the students\' gender and specialty. The findings have shown positive attitudes towards the use of technology to support traditional teaching. They have also shown no attitudinal differences attributable to the students\' gender and specialty.

Proxy caching of large multimedia objects has become increasingly important for on demand video streaming applications. Existing caching mechanisms cooperatively caches the multimedia objects among the proxy along with client peers to utilize the network resources in a reliable manner. However, the current proxy caching techniques meet several bottlenecks to achieve effective cache management for the large video streams under limited storage constraints. Therefore, this paper proposes an effective segment based caching mechanism that caches the large video streams as variable sized segments according to segment popularity. The proposed scheme is an Adaptive Popularity oriented Segment based Caching (APoSC) mechanism. First, this paper proposes Adaptive Chunk Size Segmentation (ACSS) approach to divide a media file into a number of variable size segments based on two significant factors such as video size and requested frequencies. Second, it proposes efficient two-level popularity oriented caching mechanism to cache the video segments cooperatively across the proxies and clients based on the segment popularity rather than whole video popularity. It leads to effective utilization of the limited storage under a large video size and also reduces the transmission cost. The proposed caching approach deploys well-organized segmentation and caching technique to achieve continuous and scalable media streaming service. Experimental evaluation illustrates that the proposed approach significantly improves the user satisfaction in terms of a high byte hit ratio and reduced delay when compared to conventional caching schemes.

Quadrotor lie under a type of helicopter type UAVs and it has been researched immensely in the last past years. The nature of this type of UAV is unstable due to nonlinear structural design. Added white noises due to sensors creates more complexity in controlling the aircraft. It is necessary to design a suitable and robust controller that can control the system and capable of rejecting the sensor noises. In this article, a control technique based on LQR is presented for position controlling of quadrotor. The proposed control technique is modelled on MATLAB and simulation results show that applied control technique works well under noisy conditions but its response time is not quite up to the mark.

In cellular manufacturing, Scheduling and allocation of resource are the most critical decisions making process under labour-intensive manufacturing cells. Labour-intensive cells consist of smaller and simpler Equipment and machines that can be easily moved from one place to other, but require continuous monitoring and operator involvement.Hence assigning operators to each machine for various operations becomes a significant task. As the number of operations and machines increase, allocating operators to each operation becomes indigenous and adding more product varieties for production would lead to additional complications in transferring the operators between operations. Subsequently, when different products are released for production at random, the number of operator transfers increase, leading to excess time and production loss. Thus the products need to be sequenced in order to minimize operator transfers. In this paper, the operator allocation decisions are arrived in sequence using Genetic Algorithm for operator allocation and particle swarm optimization for product sequencing. This proposed algorithm is a novel approach to calculate operator allocation, product sequencing and results are found significant.

Considering the safety of this method and the low unintended pregnancy rate among the other contraception methods, the use of this IUD is recommended.

In this paper, based on specialized research and their own opinions, the authors try to find an equilibrium, a reconciliation of man with nature so that the future of following generations will not be threatened, although the global statement is for this to happen. The approach begins with the semantics of the title, approaching separately both components and also with the fact that etymologically, economy and ecology are related, having the same purpose, the management of material and human resources, but in a different manner. In the introduction, we are presenting the relationship between man and the environment, from the emergence of the human species on Earth to this day. At the beginning of its existence, by providing the existential needs, man has not brought major damages to nature. Not the same can be said once the industrial revolution began and especially with the new technical-scientific revolution, in short, modern science and technique, significantly increasing man’s power, have, on average, raised the living standards everywhere, consuming ever more resources.\nThe next aspect is that of ecology, as a new science emerging out of rational reasons, aiming the protection of the environment and therefore of humans. Ecology can be characterized as a science of nature, with a relational character, a science of ecosphere, a universal science. In terms of time and reasoning, the following limitations of ecology can be mentioned: limitations due to some material factors, due to some spiritual factors, conceptual and existential limitations. In our opinion, ecology may show us the future of humanity in two ways: the first one shows us that we are not able to get over the greed and selfishness that defines us as people and beyond. We will get to the point of having an infected planet, new diseases will appear, which we will not be able to handle, we will hunger for some clean water, we will be dreaming about long ago disappeared fruit and vegetables, we will kill each other and fight in wars for the few fertile lands left and clean waters, we will face natural disasters etc. And in a sad end, we, people, will self-exterminate, we will disappear as human beings and the land will of course regenerate and will start all over again without us. The second option shows a more optimistic future, in which humanity will face genuine survival problems, in which natural resources have been exhausted and the population will seriously decrease and a small number of intelligent people of those remaining will isolate themselves from the rest of the world and wait for the end of the crisis, when they will be the only ones left. From this moment on, they will come to light, they will start from zero, they will create a new world, a new chapter of humanity, one in which all is well-thought and planned, where there will not be mistakes, but only evolution, a world without money, without capitalism, politics, or leaders of any kind. It will be a world where research and the evolution of knowledge about everything is paramount, a world where the number of the population will be planned and controlled.\nEconomy, through the shocking realities, translated by the environmental crisis and the uncertainty of the future of humanity on Earth is called to reconcile man with nature through a different approach which exceeds the limited framework of monetary competitive economies based mainly on the principles of profit maximization and selfish individual interests, social order based on the principles of subsidiarity and solidarity. Economy must remain at a human level, it must humanize. As for solidarity as a principle of the economic life, this represents a reversal of the principle of capitalist competition. Solidarity requires collaboration, not competition, and its purpose is not profit, but the common good. An economy based on altruism and not on selfishness.\nThe last part is reserved to conclusions resulting from the approaches taken. Interrupting the economic growth is not the most rational solution since there are differences between countries in terms of economic, technological, scientific etc. development. The relationship between ecology and economy focuses mainly on 3 directions: The first one would specify the theoretical and methodological framework emerged from the mathematical model describing the relation between economic development and pollution, the second direction refers to the legal nature of the aspect and the last one takes into account issues related to the actual possibilities to recover and protect the environment (the development of eco-industry market).

Abstract. – OBJECTIVES: XB130 is involved in gene regulation, cell proliferation, cell survival, cell migration,\nand tumorigenesis.In the present study,we first evaluated the expression of the XB130 and its prognostic\nsignificance in breast cancer.Then we evaluated whether XB130 could be a target for therapy in breast cancer.\nMATERIALS AND METHODS:Immunohistochemistry was used to assess the level of XB130 protein in\nsurgically resected, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded breast cancer specimens. Associations between XB130 and\nthe postoperative prognosis of patients with breast cancer were evaluated.We evaluated the effect of XB130\ninhibited by RNA interference on proliferation, invasion and apoptosis in vitro in a metastatic subclone of MCF-7\nbreast cancer cell line (LM-MCF-7).The effect of XB130 silencing alone or in combination with gemcitabine on\nLM-MCF-7 cells apoptosis was also investigated.\nRESULTS: XB130 protein was present in the cytoplasm of malignant cells, and not in the normal breast\ntissues.There was correlation between the presence of XB130 in tumour cells and lymph node status, tumor\nclassification and clinical stage.XB130 expression level were significantly associated with recurrence-free and\noverall survival. Furthermore, multivariate Cox regression analyses revealed that positive XB130 was an\nindependent risk factor for overall survival and recurrence free survival.XB130 silencing alone inhibits tumor\ngrowth and induces apoptosis in the LM-MCF-7 cells.Depletion of the XB130 in combination with gemcitabine\nresulted in marked apoptotic and necrotic cell death in LM-MCF-7 cells.\nCONCLUSIONS: XB130 could be useful as a prognostic marker of recurrence-free and overall survival in\ninvasive breast cancer, as well as for the response to chemotherapy.

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) combined with spectral amplitude coding optical code division multiple access (SAC-OCDMA) is a new technology investigated mathematically. The combination of OFDM/SAC-OCDMA system has proven to be robust against the Multi- Access Interference (MAI) and has greatly enhanced the channel data rate. In this paper, the performance of the hybrid OFDM/SAC-OCDMA is to suppress impairments and improve the sensitivity of system performance. As a result, the proposed system using multi diagonal (MD) code gives a good performance based on bit error rate (BER) and power received. At 10^-9 BER the system serves a large number of users compared with a conventional SAC-OCDMA system.

In this paper, a novel image codec called L Shaped Morpho Codec (LSMC) based on Lifting Wavelet Transform (LWT) is proposed. Medical image is first decomposed into different sub-bands using LWT at maximum decomposition level. The proposed LSMC keeps track of significant pixels of sub-band in the scan order of left to right and top to bottom. If the pixel is found significant, then the morphological dilation is applied immediately to find the significant pixels using L shaped structuring element. This will improve the rate-distortion performance for lossy compression. Experimental results show that the proposed LSMC outperforms standard codec’s such as SPIHT and SPECK for lossy and lossless compression. For lossy compression, LSMC performs well at higher bit rates than the lower bitrates. The average bits per pixel (bpp) required for lossless compression by LSMC is less by 0.13 bpp over SPECK.

Abstract:\nPurpose:\nPostpartum depression is a serious psychological disorder and one of the most important symptoms during this period. The present research was carried out aiming to study the relationship between prenatal anxiety and postpartum depression.\nMaterials and Methods:\nIn this prospective study, 38 to 40 weeks pregnant women referring to three hospitals affiliated to Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences who met the study’s inclusion criteria were selected using convenience sampling method. The study tools included the demographic and obstetric information questionnaire, Beck questionnaire (to reject prenatal depression), Spielberger State-Trait Prenatal Anxiety Inventory, Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) for Postpartum Depression. In the first stage, 54 women with prenatal depression were excluded from the study, 200 non-depressed women were examined for anxiety and divided into two groups. 4-6 weeks after postpartum, Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale for Postpartum Depression was filled out for them. The data were analyzed using SPSS17. \nFindings:\nThe level of overt anxiety during pregnancy was 63% and the level of prevalence of postpartum depression was 56.5%. A significant relationship was observed between prenatal anxiety and postpartum depression (p<0.001). Moreover, the women with overt anxiety during pregnancy were subject to postpartum depression 4.5 times more than others. \n\nConclusion:\nThe findings of the present research showed the relationship between prenatal anxiety and postpartum depression. Further research is recommended.

Abstract\nThe recognition of costs behavior in response to production level changes and sales is of a great value for the companies’ management.The recent experimental studies about the expenses behavior shows that the rate of expenses reduction at the time of sales reduction is less than the rate of the costs increase at the time of the same amount of increase.\nBeing aware of the expenses variations quality relative to the operations and activities level variations or the sales level is among the significant information for the management decision-making about programming and budgeting, products pricing, the break-even point determination and other managerial issues in the traditional expenses behavior in management accounting. Expenses increase or decrease proportionately relative to the changes in operations volume that is to say that the variations magnitude in the expenses is only dependent on the variations magnitude in the operations volume, and the variations orientation (increase or decrease) in the activities volume has no influence on the variations magnitude, but the study results from some of the researchers during the recent years is indicative that the amount of increase in expenses at the time of increase in the activities level, is more than the decrease in expenses at the time of activities volume reduction\nThe study results, which is based on the information from the accepted companies in Tehran’s securities market, for a 7- year period from 1383 to 1389, shows that per every 1% increase in the sales level the general and sales administrative expenses increase 20% while for every 1% reduction in the sales level the general and sales administrative expenses reduces 14% and also the increase in the net fixed assets has a significant relationship with the expenses sticky behavior, but stock return has no significant relationship with the expenses stickiness. In the present study, the expenses behavior quality relative to the sales level relations and the stickiness of this cohort of the expenses has been studied. In the present study, the quality of the sticky intensity variation of the general and sales administrative expenses in various time intervals and also among different companies has been suggested.

In this paper, imposed damages caused by earthquakes of different intensities were investigated by using fragility curves for existing reinforced concrete (R/C) buildings in Famagusta, Cyprus. Fragility curves are drawn with the use of fourteen ground acceleration records indicating different earthquakes that were recorded in soft soil (Z4-type) by incremental dynamic analysis. These ground acceleration records are scaled to ten different peak ground acceleration (PGA) levels from PGA=0.1 to PGA=1.0 g. Thus, each building was subjected to 140 different ground acceleration records in total. For developing the seismic fragility curves, two indices; i.e. Park & Ang and inter-story drift ratio with and without shear walls (based on FEMA 356); were employed. Relative Root Mean Square (RMS) error was used in evaluating the obtained curves. For mid-rise R/C slab-column buildings with rectangular columns, the results show that the Park & Ang damage index and inter-story drift ratio with shear walls are close together. It is shown that the probable degree of damage for R/C slab-column buildings decreases with number of stories.

Nowadays, playful elements have attracted a lot of attention in learning environments on the part of both learners and instructors. Accordingly, educational computer games have been regarded as the tools for entertainment, training, motivation and skill development. For the purpose of game usability evaluation, game heuristics have been focused on. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the major evaluations factors in terms of educational computer games. The research instrument used in this study was based on the research done by Gay and Mills (2009). The questionnaire includes 67 conceptual questions based on the factors of quality that includes Interface, Pedagogical, Content, Mechanics, feedback and immersion and playability factors. The results of this study can pave the way for making the decision tree for game evaluation.

In this paper we will define a general-braid graph and some new types of this graph which consisting of braids with different types. Some properties of these graphs will be deduced. The relation between this graph and the abstract graph will be discussed. Some applications will be introduced.

The introduction of Distributed Generation (DG) devices for power system improves the stability, reduces the losses and increases the cost of generation and also improves the stability of the system. In the proposed work a Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used to optimize the various parameters obtained in introduction of DG’s in a power system. The various parameters taken into consideration are their type, location and size of the DG devices. The simulation was performed on an IEEE 30 bus power system with various types of DG’s and modelled for steady state studies. The optimization results clearly indicate that introduction of DG in a right location increases the Available Transfer capacity (ATC), increases the customer benefit with decrease in congestion and GA can be effectively utilised for this kind of combinorial optimization problem.

Four multivariate calibration methods were applied for simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of a ternary mixture of antihypertensive drugs (olmesartan medoxamil, amlodipine besylate and hydrochlorothiazide) in their combined pharmaceutical tablets. The proposed methods are multivariate curve resolution-alternating least squares (MCR-ALS), classical least squares (CLS) proceeded by: net analyte processing (NAP-CLS), orthogonal signal correction (OSC-CLS) and direct orthogonal signal correction (DOSC-CLS). The results showed the high quantitative capability of the proposed methods for the analysis of the ternary mixture in addition to their known qualitative power. The optimum assay conditions were established and the proposed methods were successfully applied for the assay of the three drugs in an independent validation set and combined pharmaceutical tablets with excellent recoveries. No interference was observed from common pharmaceutical additives. The results were favorably compared with those obtained by well established partial least squares method (PLS).

This study investigated the Z-R relationship for computing rainfall using a conventional and wavelet filters technique. 1- D Haar Wavelet type was applied to data filtration process. The proposed model was applied to determine the rainfall of five rain gauge Meteorological stations in Thailand. The 3-hourly rainfall and radar reflectivity data were used in this study. The results indicated that the accumulative rainfall of wavelet filters technique were close to the observed rainfall data more than the results of conventional practice for both calibration and validation processes. Consequently, we are confident that a wavelet filters technique is a useful tool for estimating the rainfall.

The present study focused on the relationship between emotional intelligence and family performance among high school students in Kermanshah during the year 2011-2012. Three hundred and eighty-five subjects were selected based on Morgan’s table through random multiple sampling system. They were randomly selected from three education districts of Kermanshah city. The required data were collected through two instruments including Bloom (1985)’ FFS, with 75 descriptive words to demonstrate features of family and Bar-on (1980)’s emotional intelligence test including 90 questions. Pearson’s correlation and independent sample t-test were implemented to study and explain the variables. The results indicated that family performance and students’ emotional intelligence are meaningfully correlated. Mean emotional intelligence rate of girl students is higher than that of boy students. Also, higher self-expressive family members have higher emotional intelligence. In addition, conflicting family members have lower rate of emotional intelligence. Finally, it was demonstrated families with higher rates of mental and cultural orientations have higher rates of emotional intelligence.

The blocking effects of Eucalyptus plantation on Ageratina adenophora population and its allelopathic cause were studied in this paper with the combination of field investigation and indoor simulation experiment. The results showed: i) E. plantation had a certain blocking effect on the invasive A. adenophora population, mainly on the following three aspects: (a) the survival of A. adenophora plants. From the margin of E. plantation to its depth, the density of survived A. adenophora plants decreased, while the density of dead A. adenophora plants increased gradually; (b) the height of A. adenophora plants. The deeper it invaded in E. plantation, the shorter it became; (c) the biomass of A. adenophora plants. The biomass of those survived A. adenophora plants gradually decreased from the margin of E. plantation to its depth, while the biomass of those dead A. adenophora plants decreased in the beginning but increased later. ii) The chemicals in E. spp. showed a certain allelopathic activity towards the germination and seedlings growth of A. adenophora. Three different concentrations (25mg•L-1, 5mg•L-1, and 1mg•L-1) of such chemicals in E. spp. as 1,8-Cineole, α-Pinene, α-Terpineol, Limonene and Borneo showed an inhibitory effect on the germination rate (GR), germination index (GI) of A. adenophora seeds, and radicle and hypocotyl elongation of A. adenophora seedlings; while the synthetic effects on its germination and seedlings growth were featured with inhibitory effects, with the synthetic index (SI) of -0.47~-0.27, -0.38~-0.22, -0.27~-0.24, -0.41~-0.16, and -0.59~-0.18 for 1,8-Cineole, α-Pinene, α-Terpineol, Limonene and Borneo, respectively. The allelopathic activity of E. spp. was possibly the major cause for the blocking effects of E. plantation on the expansion of A. adenophora population. This study provided a new idea and a new way for the development and use of E. species and for the prevention and control of invasive weeds as well.

Abstract\nIn this paper, references are made to the origin of myth and its application by the ancient societies and that myth is not a story but a fact that which has been happened in the past or could be a narration to answer the events appeared to human, by the help of which human is able to understand the events beyond him.Through familiarity with myth, human was able to understand the concept of dignity in human communities and in this way the human life is made full of ethical values which take him to the stage of cultural evolution. Such a behavioral mutation in human is made possible by the help of myths which is the border line between religion and ethics in human communities. When dignity enters human life the processes of ethics starts. One of the myths which are connected with ethics and dignity in Iran is that of Siavush myth. Siavush a noble and innocent Iranian prince which is killed innocently and his life story have inspired the way of living by Iranian.\nSiavush, in whose life the role of fate and destiny is clearly identified, faces a closed end route in his life and is killed submissively. From Iranian people viewpoint, respecting such a fate and destiny and living innocently worth appreciation and to be valued. Iranian re-performs his story each year and mourns for him. Such a dramatic play has been performed through Iran for a long period of time. But when Islam brought to Iran, Siavush character as a mythical character and one for whom ceremonies and rituals are made, lose its weight and importance, for in the newly formed Iranian culture which has been transformed and evolved on the basis of history, religion and religious characters, those appearing with characteristics and particulars of mythical heroes but based on a true history and background which is not a myth but for their heroic behaviors and action they find similar characteristics with the myths including Imam Hussain and his companion. Fundamental similarity between the two personalities such as purity, being killed innocently and submissiveness has replaced the myth of Imam Hussain with that of Siavush. As the result, Iranian culture has been in this way the culture of mythology to make an exemplary.

The isolated spinach light-harvesting complexes II (LHCII) and photosystem II core complexes (PSIICC) could be reconstituted into liposomes which constituted of chlorophyll a (Chl a) and thylakoid lipids. It was demonstrated via 77 K fluorescence emission spectra that energy was transferred from LHCII to PSIICC in liposome membranes. The result of oxygen evolution activity showed that the activity of PSIICC-LHCII proteoliposomes was significantly higher than that of PSIICC proteoliposomes without extra LHCII. This result demonstrated the reconstitution with LHCII increased the antenna size and light-harvesting section in proteoliposomes, so the oxygen evolution activity of PSII was enhanced by providing a new way to increase sun harvesting and photosynthetic productivity for the globe under global climate change.
