It is the first updated version of APG and supports 4 thermometer models and 6 barometer models involving either amphibole-plagioclase or amphibole only. APG2 has capability to integrate all 4 thermometer models with 6 barometer models and produce 24 different states which user can export them all at once to an Excel table. APG2 works in both graphical and analytical way. APG2 is also able to calculate the H2O content and Oxygen fugacity (logfO2) of magma hosting amphiboles.

Local areas are fundamental constituent parts of planning at national and international levels. These areas are the first foundation of centraliozation and non-centralization of sustainable development.In the present study, the consistency condition of customary areas in Mondje region, located in Lordegan city- Chahar Mahal Bakhteyari province, was assessed using of the IUCN model. In this approach, seven stage including determination of assessment target, showing of systems, clarify of consistency dimensions and elements, selection of criteria and indicators, categorize and measurement of indicators, combine indicators for each system and mapping of sustainability barometer, were considered. In this study, two human and natural systems, four dimensions of land cover, using of resources, wilth and population, as different dimensions, and seven criteria with ninteen indicators were regarded to the assessment of region consistency. On basis of the results of indicators assessment, pay attention to local experts opinion, 48 % of all indicators and 66 % in natural system are unstable and almost unstable. The indicators of firewood, farming in the forest and livestock are in unstable situation.The results and barometer analysis showed that the consistency condition in study area is as unstable.

In the last decades, the visual navigation system has been investigated by many researchers as an aided navigation system for Inertial Navigation System (INS) in the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV). In this research, for improving the INS errors a new approach based on feature tracking algorithm is used. In this approach, in order to estimate the feature points in the current image, the INS states, the feature points of the previous image and dynamic equations are used. Also, in this approach, for improving the estimation of terrain points, the outlier estimated feature points delete. Furthermore, in this article, for improving the altitude error, a barometer is used by the mentioned vision navigation system. The simulation results illustrate the desirable accuracy of the vision system and barometer observations in the update step of Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and remarkable performance of integrated navigation system for calculating the UAV navigation parameters.

Planning for sustainable tourism development in the villages, following the increase in tourists in rural areas, is necessary. In this regard, this study aimed at estimating the carrying capacity of the local community towards the development of rural tourism. The data analysis was conducted in a descriptive-analytical method. The statistical population included experts related to the subject of research and residents (local community) of Kandolus Village of Noshahr County in Iran. Method of determining the carrying capacity of the local community was adapted from the Battelle environmental evaluation system frequently used for environmental impact assessment and the limits of acceptable change. Two maps including Barometer of Tourism Sustainability (BTS) and AMOEBA of Tourism Sustainability Indicators (ATSI) were also used to show the level of sustainability of the tourism destination. The study results showed that based on the classification of sustainability barometer of Prescott-Allen and according to the obtained parameter (0.609), the carrying capacity of the local community was relatively stable within the range of 0.61-0.80 category.

This paper presents a Genetic Algorithm Fuzzy Data Envelopment Analysis (GA-FDEA) model that caters for optimal selecting of economic indicators for the measurement of relative productivity and performance of financial institutions. Imprecise or uncertain data of financial institutions due to varying monetary policies and market risk were retrieved from Nigeria Stock Exchange Commission and evaluated. It was observed that GA-FDEA provides better results than the conventional DEA. The findings provide economic barometers for ascertaining the viability of these institutions toward bringing the expected growth of these institutions and the nation at large.

Today the role of tourism in developing villges is considered as a main method for releaving the levels of sustainability in different aspects of social, economic and environmental; but it is noticable that the process of assesment of levels of sustainability in touristic villages entails selection of variables and models that are capable to reveal real conditions of villages and their sustainalbility in different stages of development. Ghale Chayee touristic axis in Ajabshir County include 9 touristic villages that changed due to the enterence of tourists and should be studied. This research is applied research that has been done with the aim of evaluating sustainability in Ghale Chayee touristic axis villiges, showing the location of villages in different phases using Tourist life cycle model and finally investigating the relationship of sustainablility with phases of life cycle model. This research has been done with the approach of descriptive- analytical and method of surveying. The population include residents of 9 villages and tourists entering to this area. For collecting data 200 people from local society and 200 people from tourists has been selected randomly as a sample size and by using Cochran formula. Content validity of questionnaires from viewpoint of experts and professors calculated well and stability of questionnaire calculated 92% for local society and 90% for tourists using Cronbach's alpha formula. Data after collecting, has been analyzed using Barometer Sustainability Model, Tourist life cycle model and Kendall test. The results of implementation of Barometer Model showed that all villages are in average and potential level of sustainablility. Also the results of life cycle model revealed that village Gozlujeh with 55% and Yengjeh with 523% are in development stage and the rest of the villages are in involvement phase. Also based on the results of Kendall test, there is a significant positive correlation between different levels of sustainability and rural location. It is more in economic sustainablity and involvement phase. Therefore, in order to utilize the capacity of tourism to achieve sustainable development of rural areas to provide required facilities and infrastructure to attract maximum tourists.

Generally, the green economy does not replace the concept of sustainable development, but is an integral element of economic policies in the path to sustainability, and it can be said that the background to sustainability is because it encompasses three main factors of progress, namely economic, social and environmental development. From this perspective, the present study was conducted to assess the regional sustainability of West Azerbaijan province with the green economy approach and to use the indicators of this new approach in regional sustainability. Regarding the studied components, this research is applied in terms of applied and descriptive-analytical methodology. The statistical population of the study was officials, experts and related experts in West Azerbaijan province. For this purpose, in the province and for each city (17 cities), 25 questionnaires were completed and 425 questionnaires were completed by the relevant experts. For analyzing information, Scott Allen stability radar and barometer models, as well as multiple correlation coefficient, ANOVA and beta tests have been used in SPSS software environment. The results of the stability barometer model indicate the average stability of the province. Meanwhile, the multivariate regression test shows that there is a very high correlation between green economy indicators (independent variable) and the realization of regional sustainability (dependent variable), so the value of this coefficient confirms the relationship between green economy indicators in the realization of sustainability The explanatory factor. Therefore, if the average of each of the indicators of the green economy in the region increases, their role and their impact on the realization of sustainability will increase. Among the surveyed indices, the environmental health index and hazards with the beta value of 0.637 had the most role and explanatory power in predicting the realization of sustainability in the study area and the index of environmental services and welfare with the lowest beta value of 0.001 and Has an influential power in realizing the stability of West Azerbaijan province

The Almaghoulagh antiform in north of Asadabad, Hamedan, is one of the areas where the Paleozoic rocks are exposed in the Sanandaj-Sirjan zone. The antiform comprises two metamorphosed units. The Almaghoulagh unit in the lower part is overlain by the Chenar Sheikh unit, whereas the former derived from a volcanic protolith, the latter had a protolith with a significant sedimentary component. The Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous felsic and mafic plutonic bodies are situated in the core of the antiform. The S1 foliation, which can be recognized throughout all the lithological units, is considered to formed during a regional metamorphic event. The amphibole-plagioclase thermometer and amphibole-garnet-plagioclase-quartz barometer yielded metamorphic temperature of 570°C and an average pressure of 7.2 kbar for the Almaghoulagh metabasites. The P-T condition of metamorphism in the Chenar sheikh metapelites was also estimated at 462° C and an average pressure of  2.6 kbar using the biotite-garnet thermometer and garnet-plagioclase-biotite-muscovite-quartz and garnet-plagioclase-muscovite-quartz barometers. These P-T estimations suggest that the regional metamorphism reached the amphibolite grade and the lower part of the Almaghoulah antiform experienced a higher degree of metamorphism.  The S2 foliation, which is the most penetrative structural element of all the rock units in the region, formed within a shear zone. Occurrence of the shear stress in the region, facilitated intrusion of the Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous plutonic bodies into the core of the antiform. The emplacement of the plutonic bodies has played a major role in folding and doming the region.

The Mamzar granitoid pluton is located in the Kerman Province and structurally in southeast of Urumieh-Dokhtar magmatic zone. Based on petrographic studies, the granitoid consist of four rock type of diorite, tonalite, granodiorite and monzogranite. They are mainly composed of plagioclase (andesine), alkali-feldspar (orthoclase), quartz, amphibole (magnesiohornblende), biotite and clinopyroxene. Mineral chemistry of plagioclase indicate that their composition are andesine with An33-47 and the amphibole (calcic) have magnesiohornblende compositions that is feature of I-type granite. The biotites with Fe/ (Fe+Mg)>0.33 are magnesio-biotites. Based on TiO2 versus Al2O3 diagram, composition of amphiboles indicate crust and mantle mixing in the formation of the Mamzar granitoid magma. Application of different barometers and thermometers such as Al-in-hornblende, plagioclase-amphibole pair exhibit an average pressure of 1.14 kbar and temperatures of 660-730 °C for the intrusion. The mineral chemistry of the biotites and amphiboles indicate that this granitoid pluton is calc-alkaline and formed at the depth of less than 8 km.

KoheSiah volcanic complex is in north east of Qorveh in the Kurdistan province and in Sanandaj-Sirjan zone.The age of the studied region rocks are related to the quaternary time. Set volcanic cone with a crater that has been identified as unspecified and are an average height of 2157 meters above sea level. The composition of volcanic rocks varies from basaltic composition, Basalitic andesites, andesite and , trachyandesite. On the basis of mineral chemistry the amphiboles are classified as calcic (magnesio-hornblende). Plagioclases vary from andesine-oligoclase to labradorite. Al-barometer accounts that the pressure of amphibole crystallization is 3.2 to 6.65 Kbar and Altotal versus Fetotal/(Mg+Fetotal) accounts the pressure between 4.5 to 7 Kbar. Hornblende - plagioclase thermometer shows 464 to 473 °C for equilibrium of these two minerals and biotite thermometer shows 500 to 650 °C for biotite in andesites. The estimated oxygen fugacity imply an oxidation magma (confirms iron oxide and enrichment of Mg in amphibole)
