In the present research the position of public participation in Yazd Great Garden plan has been evaluated. In the first stage, based on the method of qualitative analysis, through interviews with local people, the position of public participation in the stages of approval and implementation of the plan was pathologically evaluated. The results of the studies show that local people are very dissatisfied with the lack of transparency and information by the municipality during the approval and implementation of the plan. In the second phase of this study, the trend of changes in the urban landscape in the study area (from 2001 to 2020) was evaluated using landscape metrics in FRAGSTATS software. The results of this evaluation showed that, during this period, many constructions have been done in this area. The size of barren patches has increased by 283%. The size of garden-agricultural patches has decreased by 80% and the size patches of construction has increased by 196%. In general, in spite of the goals of the mentioned plan to protect the gardens, the area and connectivity of garden and agricultural patches has been reduced and fragmentation is increased. Summarizing the results shows that if public participation was used in the approval and implementation process and information was provided in a transparent manner, the goals of the project were achieved, and local gardeners acted as the supporter of the municipality in the project.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the susceptibility of NOx and CO pollutants due to the change of stabilizing jets characteristics in a gas turbine model combustion chamber. The change of stabilizing jet characteristics were analyzied according to their interactions. To simulate the two-phase flow inside the combustion chamber, the Eulerian method was used for gas flow and the Lagrangian method was used for spraying the fuel. For simulating the combustion The purpose of the present study was to investigate the susceptibility of NOx and CO pollutants due to the change of stabilizing jets characteristics in a gas turbine model combustion chamber. The change of stabilizing jet characteristics was analyzed according to their interactions. To simulate the two-phase flow inside the combustion chamber, the Eulerian approach was used for gas flow and the Lagrangian approach was employed for spraying the fuel. For simulating the combustion process inside the combustion chamber, the RANS approach, the Realizable k-ε model for turbulence, Discrete Ordinates Model (DOM) for radiant heat transfer and steady flamelet combustion model were applied. NOx modeling was done by post-processing with a finite rate model. Using a sensitivity analysis, the effects of variations of input variables including diameter, angle and position of the stabilizing jets on output variables were studied. Numerical data were generated by using Design of Experiments (DOE) and full factorial model. The results were inspected by the means of analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results indicated that with considering the interaction among jets characteristics, the trends of pollutants changes could be observed more accurately. Nevertheless, this was not possible without considering the interactions.  The purpose of the present study was to investigate the susceptibility of NOx and CO pollutants due to the change of stabilizing jets characteristics in a gas turbine model combustion chamber.

Due to the increased prevalence of celiac disease in chromosomal anomalies and other congenital anomalies, this study was conducted to evaluate the seroprevalence of celiac disease (CD) in patients with congenital heart defects (CHD).This case-control study was done on 1002 children in two groups of CHD patients (n=402) and controls (n=600). The serum tissue transglutamianse (TTG) levels were investigated. The two groups were compared in terms of TTG IgA levels and p<0.05 was considered as the significant level.The means of serum TTG IgA levels in children with CHD and the control groups were 19.17±46.67 and 7.77±10.02 u/mL respectively (p =0.001). After ANOVA analysis a significant difference between two cyanotic and acyanotic subgroups of cases and control groups was observed (p =0.000). The follow up tukey test showed only non-significant difference between the cyanotic and acyanotic cases. The frequency of TTG IgA with the consideration of 20 u/mL as cut-off point showed a significant association with groups (X2 =28.31 and p =0.000).According to the results the serum TTG IgA levels were significantly higher in patients with CHD than normal children and screening for CD in children with CHD is recommended.

Dilated cardiomyopathy is revealed with left ventricular dilatation and systolic dysfunction.. This study aimed to compare the children with dilated cardiomyopathy and control group regarding the level of Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide (CGRP) and its relationship with echocardiography findings.Patients and This case-control study was conducted on 37 children with dilated cardiomyopathy and free of any clinical symptoms and 37 healthy age- and sex-matched children referring to Ali-e-Asghar and Ali Ebne Abitaleb hospitals in Zahedan, Iran. After taking history, echocardiography was performed for both groups. The data were analyzed using the SPSS statistical software and appropriate statistical tests.. The two groups were significantly different regarding most of the echocardiographic parameters (P < 0.05). Also, a significant difference was found between the two groups concerning the mean CGRP levels (P = 0.001). Among echocardiographic parameters, CGRP was directly related to Interventricular Septal dimension in Systole (IVSS) (P = 0.022, R = 0.375). However, no significant relationship was observed between CGRP level and Ross classification.. The findings of this study showed an increase in CGRP serum levels in the case group. Besides, a direct correlation was observed between CGRP level and IVSS..

This study reports evaluated prevalence of CD in patients with Beta-thalassemia major. Celiac Disease (CD) is an autoimmune disorder triggered by ingestion of gluten in genetically predisposed individuals.Patients and In this case-control study in a period of 3 years, which was performed on 620 children in two groups of Beta-thalassemia major patients (n=200) and control (n=420), serum tissue transglutamianse (tTG) IgA levels were measured. The two groups were compared together in terms of tTG IgA levels, and p<0.05 was considered significant. The means of serum tTG IgA levels in patients with Beta-thalassemia major and control groups were 28.81±68.44 and 6.94±6.68 U/mL, respectively. There was a significant difference in favor of the case group (p=0.000). Body mass index in the two case and control groups had a significant difference (t=3.859, p=0.001). Belonging to each group will change the probability of having less than 20 in tTG IgA (odds=0.285) and it means that belonging to the control group has a protective role. There is only a significant association in the case of all population (r=0.102, p=0.011). Body mass index in the two case and control groups had a significant difference (t=3.859, p=0.001). Probability of CD should be considered since the prevalence of CD is high in patients with and Beta-thalassemia major. Patients with thalassemia major are recommended for screening for CD.
