Abstract
The main concern in fish transportation is minimizing stress during transportation. In this study, the effect of zeolite and clove essence in terms of transportation on survival and stress rainbow trout was investigated. 4 treatments (each treatment included 3 replicate) including control treatment, clove essence (25 mg/l), zeolite (14g/l) and clove essence (25mg/l) + (14g/l) were considered. 156 fish (with average weight 80 ± 4.4 g) were randomly distributed with a 130 kg/m3 density. At time zero, 6, 12 and 18 hours after starting transportation, survival rates, cortisol and glucose levels (as indicators of stress) were measured and analyzed. In the end, results showed a significant difference in the survival rates that control treatment had the lowest survival rates (P

Abstract
Aims: Helicobacter pylori is a pathogen that can be colonized in the stomach. Most laboratories only use IgG and not IgA antibody to diagnose infection. The aim of this study was to compare both IgG and IgA-antibodies level for the detection H. pylori.
Materials & Methods: The presence of IgG and IgA antibodies in the sera of the 517 patients suspected to H. pylori infection was evaluated by Enzyme-Linked Immunoadsordent Assays (ELISA) method.
Findings: The positive cases of infection on the basis of IgG and IgA titers were 68% and 27%, respectively. Also, 7% of the patients with IgG negative were IgA positive.
Conclusion: The comparison of antibody responses in our patients indicate that the sensitivity of IgA level is lower than IgG ELISA and both antibody titers must be evaluated for the identification of infection. In some cases, patients with IgG negative may have IgA positive assays; therefore, in the serological diagnostic process and without endoscopy, IgG results in association with IgA against H. pylori will be completed.

Abstract
Translation is one of the factors of the exchange of various dimensions of civilization, art, culture and literature and the cultural development of societies. It is always seen in terms of the differences in the components of the linguistic translation of texts, in particular literary texts, such as increasing, decreasing, changing the theme and structure. Hence, The critique of translation is one of the essential and important steps in improving the translation of texts and their evaluation. In this speech, the "Myth of the Moon Barry," the Arabic translation of the critique and evaluation of the story of "Samak Ayyar" by descriptive and analytical method has been criticized and evaluated using descriptive and analytical method and based on the theory of Nida. According to Nida's definition of the translation that finds the closest natural equivalent of the source language in the target language, and the division of the translations into a formal and dynamic translation, the "Myth of the Moon Barry" mythology can’t be regarded as a formal translation. The occurrence of mistakes in the equivalence of words, the removal and enhancement of the text, the change of words and the style and the structure of the original text show the translator has not been faithful to the source text in the translation of Samak-e-Ayar's story and has not done so accurately. Therefore, with tolerance, it should be classified as dynamic translations.

Abstract
Mediterranean flour moth, Ephestia kuehniella Zeller, is important for mass rearing of parasitoid insects such as Bracon wasps and it's feeding on cereals leads to economic losses in flour mills. In current research, the effects of four different diets: wheat, barley, oat, and maize flours, on protein content of larval and pupal whole-body, gut and fat bodies of the last instars and the digestive α-amylase activity were evaluated. In addition, their protein patterns were compared using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The protein contents of fifth instars whole-body, fat bodies, gut, and also pupa varied in different diets. On the whole, the lowest protein levels were found in all experiments in oat and the highest in barley and wheat. Other biological parameters such as insect weight and digestive α-amylase activity were also significantly affected by the decrease in protein content. The results obtained from the estimation of protein content by a colorimetric method and SDS-PAGE were consistent with each other; the low or high protein contents were also clearly visible in the gels. According to the results of enzyme activity and protein contents of insects reared on different diets, barley and wheat are reported to be appropriate diets for this pest, while oat and maize are not suitable diets.

Abstract
In recent years, targeted drug delivery systems have emerged as a promising approach to increase the efficacy and minimize side effects of therapeutic agents. Cerasomes are a special type of liposomes with covalent siloxane networks on the surface that provide exceptional morphological stability while retaining all the beneficial properties of liposomes. Cerosomes provide a unique platform for drug encapsulation and delivery due to their biocompatibility, stability, controllable release, and long-term storage. In this research, an attempt has been made to engineer the surface of cerosomes to increase the selectivity and efficiency of drug delivery. In such a way that the Herceptin antibody is placed on the surface of the serosa and allows the precise targeting of HER2+ cells. Then, the physicochemical characteristics of antibody-functionalized cerosomes, including size and surface charge 229±15.6 nm and 13.5±1.2 mV were respectively obtained. The results of IR and fluorescence spectrum showed that the antibody was successfully attached to the surface of cerasome with a binding efficiency of 64%. These results prove the basic mechanisms governing the synthesis of immunocerasomes and provide a valuable approach for future developments in targeted drug delivery systems.

Abstract
In this paper, the algorithm to detect obstacles surrounding an autonomous vehicle and the method to navigate this vehicle on the road are studied. For this purpose, the road is divided into cells in lateral and longitudinal directions. The assumption is that some special tools specify the cells positions and then full and empty-cell corresponding matrix is generated. In this matrix, full cells are displayed with digit 1 and empty cells are displayed with digit 0. In the next step, by analyzing the matrix in Matlab, the vehicle is navigated. In this analysis, firstly the position of the vehicle and the obstacles are identified. Then, based on the road conditions and the obstacles positions, required orders to move the vehicle are determined. If a lane change is needed, according to the road’s curvature and the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle, appropriate path for the vehicle will be chosen. In this paper, for the first time in autonomous vehicle navigations, the road is considered as a 1 and 0 matrix. In this method, the road matrix gets updated with time and provides the possibility of analyzing the vehicle’s movement. Also, the algorithm used to solve the problem is very simple.

Abstract
Cyberspace has provided the ground for the emergence of a new generation of games, in the namely of virtual games, which are beyond the games and entertainment. Although the computer games, as a part of entertainment industry, are basically considered with cultural and economic approaches, what makes such games an attractive topic for law, is the possibility of buying and selling virtual goods and items within the context of games.In-game transactions associated with some challenges with the legal status of such transactions are the most important ones. In the meantime, what makes the validity of online transactions a challenging topic refers to the doubt on the vital elements of subject-matter of contract. Since everything occurs in a virtual environment, so the objects of transactions are intangible, and in fact, do not exist. Moreover, what purchased and sold are just beneficial and valuable for the game players through the game so that they have no function and benefit out of the game. This paper tries to have a legal analysis on virtual goods and items from the point of essential conditions for the validity of the object of transactions.

Abstract
This paper studies the short-term impacts of air pollutants on mortality rates in a range of diseases including cardiovascular, respiratory and digestive diseases, tumors and cancers. It uses daily data of suspended particulate matters (SPM), CO, NOx, and O3 in six metropolitan areas of Tehran, Ahvaz, Mashhad, Tabriz, Shiraz, and Esfahan during 2011-2015. In order to determine the impact of air pollution on mortality rate, both daily air pollution and its average over the past two weeks is used. In this research, no association was found between daily pollution and mortality rate. However, the results show that increasing CO in the past two weeks causes a significant increase in mortality rates

Abstract
Universal access to higher education and radical increase in demand for higher education in 2000s necessitated the expansion of higher education institutions. The rise in the number of such institutions was unprecedented. In fact, all districts of Iran had a higher education institution by 2008. Even very small districts received a private or public higher education institution to reduce transportation costs and expand access to higher education. This enhanced access has a more disproportionate effect on women compared to men. In this paper we combine data on higher education institutions between 1999 and 2016 with educational outcomes of individuals aged between 18 to 35 years old in the population census 2016 to estimate the impact of access to higher education on educational attainment and educational gender gap. Using district and age fixed effects, we do not find a significant effect on overall education of individuals. However, women received a significantly larger benefit from the expansion of higher education institutions.
