That is, these theorems exhibit a variety of test functions which assure that the approximation property holds on the whole space if it holds for them. Such a property was discovered by Korovkin in 1953 for the functions and in the space as well as for the functions <em>1, cos</em> and <em>sin</em> in the space of all continuous 2π-periodic functions on the real line. In this paper, we use the notion of statistical lacunary summability to improve the result of [Ann. Univ. Ferrara, 57(2) (2011) 373-381] by using the test functions in place of and We apply the classical Baskakov operator to construct an example in support of our main result.https://ijsts.shirazu.ac.ir/article_1498_c1ccbaf451df34a5f25cf41569832d08.pdfSpringerIranian Journal of Science2731-809537220130501On fuzzy sub-hyperspaces of hypervector spaces103108149910.22099/ijsts.2013.1499ENK.HilaDepartment of Mathematics & Computer Science, Faculty of

In this regard, the notion of a normal fuzzy sub-hyperspace of hypervector space is introduced. Using it, we construct new fuzzy sub-hyperspaces. We also show that, under certain conditions, a fuzzy sub-hyperspace of a hypervector space is two-valued and takes the values 0 and 1.https://ijsts.shirazu.ac.ir/article_1499_2f211f406a49628b10c73c12ea918b29.pdfSpringerIranian Journal of Science2731-809537220130501Soliton solutions to a few coupled nonlinear

The basin, is located in the northern part of Turkey, between 40<sup>o</sup> 48’ - 41<sup>o</sup> 40’ north latitudes and 34<sup>o</sup> 41’ - 35<sup>o</sup> 04’ east longitudes. The aim of this study is to research the permanent effects of human activities on natural land cover change. For this purpose, satellite images which enclose 1987 - 2010 periods are used as data. Erdas Imagine 10.0 software was used to analyse these images by using data images (Landsat TM) processing techniques. Land cover change nomenclature is made due to Corine (Coordination of Information on the Environment) Class 2 (Urban fabric, Forest, Shrub and/or herbaceous vegetation association, Heterogeneous areas, Inlands wetlands) and Class 3 (Rice fields). All images were independently classified using the supervised classification method of maximum likelihood algorithm. As a result, a period of over 20 years deforestation was calculated 62 % from 66663, 1 to 25266, 2 hectares between 1987 and 2010. In the same period, urban fabric changing was observed 190 % from 1949, 8 to 5671, 8 hectares. On the contrary, Inland wetlands have increased from 429, 4 to 1641, 6 hectares because of the built up new big dam named Obruk.https://ijsts.shirazu.ac.ir/article_1503_d077f038caa4fa6cf1263cbe5f749fea.pdfSpringerIranian Journal of Science2731-809537220130525Geochemical characterization and petrogenesis of Niat-Jal

The meta-volcanics of KAU are intruded by diorites, granitoids and tronjhemites of the Thak intusive complex. KAU is subdivided into four distinct units; Babusar, Niat and Jal amphibolites from south to north with a thin slice of Sumal amphibolites within Niat-Jal amphibolites. Niat and Jal amphibolites generally show strong foliation and alternating bands of mafic and felsic compositions. Niat amphibolites are generally fine to medium grained and composed of amphibole (hornblende and actinolite) and substantial quartz with subordinate plagioclase, epidote and chlorite. Magnetite, sphene, muscovite, and apatite occur as accessory minerals. The Jal amphibolites are fine grained and melanocratic and generally comprised of hornblende and plagioclase with subordinate quartz and sericite. Epidote and sphene occur as accessory minerals. Twenty six samples from both groups have been analyzed for whole rock geochemistry. The studied amphibolites fall in tholeiite group and show enrichment in HFS elements and depletion in LIL elements. Spider diagrams and MgO versus Zr plot show heterogeneous compositional patterns, with three distinct patterns: primitive, less evolved and more evolved. Average concentration of TiO2 (1.99 wt% for Niat amphibolites and 1.56 wt% for Jal amphibolites) and K2O (0.14 wt% for Niat amphibolites and 0.20 wt% for Jal amphibolites) exhibit MORB like composition whereas average Y/Nb ratio (8.9 for Niat amphibolites and 8.4 for Jal amphibolites) are close to N-MORB. Zr/Y vs Zr plot characterized the studied rocks as MORB and they fall in the ocean floor basalt (OFB) field on the triangular Ti/100, Zr, Y*3 diagram.https://ijsts.shirazu.ac.ir/article_1504_852ad52dbda2db5e6724ca0d2586c075.pdfSpringerIranian Journal of Science2731-809537220130525Effect of ±5ºC difference from physiologic temperature on surface area, volume, and surface-to-volume ratio of transformed cells161164150510.22099/ijsts.2013.1505ENM.Rezaei-TaviraniProteomics Research Center, Faculty of Paramedical Sciences, Shahid Beheshti

The isolates were grown on nutrient agar including 1 mM of each heavy metal of cobalt (Co), chromium (Cr), mercury (Hg), zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu). The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of the isolates were determined using different concentrations of heavy metals (1-5 mM) by broth dilution method. One of the isolates showed higher MICs of 5, 5, 4, 3 and 3 mM when grown on Co, Cr, Hg, Zn and Cu, respectively and selected for further study. The bacterial identity was determined by various biochemical and physiological experiments. The optimum temperature and pH for the growth of the strain were 30˚C and 7, respectively. The isolate was resistant to ampicillin, cephalotin, amikacin and gentamicin. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the isolate belongs to the genus <em>Comamonas</em> with 99% similarity to <em>Comamonas testosteroni</em>; it was then designated as <em>Comamonas</em> sp. HM_AF12. Atomic absorption spectrometer analysis showed that 80% of chromium was removed from 5 mg/L of chromium solution after 1 h. The results suggest that <em>Comamonas</em> sp. HM_AF12 obtained from effluent owing to its high resistance to toxic heavy metals has great potential to be employed for bioremediation of chromium contaminated effluents.https://ijsts.shirazu.ac.ir/article_1507_8f10a68ae6a0e6e7f195a97e79ec4144.pdfSpringerIranian Journal of Science2731-809537220130525An investigation on effects of annealing on magnetic properties of Ni-Fe-W-S electrodeposited coatings in tri sodium citrate bath181187150810.22099/ijsts.2013.1508ENR.KannanDepartment of Physics, KSR College of Engineering, Tiruchengode-637215, Tamil Nadu, IndiaS.GanesanDepartment of Physics, Government College of Technology, Coimbatore-641001, Tamil Nadu, IndiaT.

Annealing of the electro deposited thin film was performed at 200˚ C temperature for one hour. X-ray diffraction technique (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX), Vickers Hardness Test (VHN), and Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) were utilized to study the as-deposited and annealing effects on the structural and magnetic properties of the film. X-ray diffraction (XRD) result indicated that the as-deposited film had crystalline size of 31 nm. Annealing treatment of the coatings produced the enhanced crystalline size of 26.6 nm. Due to the improvement of soft magnetic properties in the 200˚C annealed film, the saturation magnetization is enhanced by 88 × 10<sup>-3</sup> emu/ cm<sup>2</sup> (coercivity decreased to 14.6 Oe) compared with the case of as-deposited film at bath temperature of 40˚C. The magnetic flux density (Bs) of the annealed film was enhanced by 0.6328 Tesla. Hardness of the annealed film increased from 143 VHN to 151 VHN. This shows that the soft magnetic properties of Ni-Fe-W-S thin films are greatly enhanced by annealing at 200˚C which can be used in MEMS applications.https://ijsts.shirazu.ac.ir/article_1508_4868918bbeb25610b4640a527b24ed9b.pdfSpringerIranian Journal of Science2731-809537220130525Stable isotopes geochemistry of the bauxite horizons

The white, gray, black, pisolitic, red and yellow bauxites are the main horizons in these deposits from bottom to top. In this study, the combinations of oxygen, hydrogen, carbon and sulfur isotopes of the main bauxite units were utilized to trace bauxitization processes, climatic and environmental conditions. The δ<sup>18</sup>O and δD values of boehmite and kaolinite minerals, not only suggest a likely inheritance relation between them, but also suggests no remarkable climate changes during occurrence of bauxite horizons in Cretaceous. The δ<sup>18</sup>O values of about -7 ‰ and -8 ‰ inferred for the waters at the time of kaolinite crystallization and achieved kaolinization paleo-temperature more than 30˚C, represent low paleo-latitude location of the study area during the Cretaceous. The negative δ<sup>13</sup>C values from the carbonate matrix of bauxite-bearing minerals, as low as -25 ‰, indicate carbon derivation from the biodegradation of organic matter under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. The positive δ<sup>34</sup>S values of pyrites reveale sulfate-limiting conditionduring diagenesis that is consistent with biological fractionation of sulfur in a closed system by sulfate-reducing bacteria.https://ijsts.shirazu.ac.ir/article_1509_3910e9f5605f2e9fdabe5f5ffc2550e7.pdf
