The present article is a translation—to Farsi—of an article by Dr. Kaveh Madani (lecturer in Environmental Management at the Centre for Environmental Policy, Imperial College London) and Nazanin Soroush (Middle East political analyst), entitled "Every breath you take: the environmental consequences of Iran sanctions", published in The Guardian 21 November 2014. The article discusses how both the

The noted remarkable capacity of the Gulf ruling families to mobilise external and internal sources of power seems to have reached its limits. Gulf rulers also seem aware that they have lost the advantages associated with their special regional role throughout the Cold War era. The geo-political context within which they have operated has altered throughout the 1990s. Furthermore, decades of econo

The problem of resource management in a sys- tem of a-priori unknown software components executing on nondeterministic hardware is considered. The approach uses on-line parameter estimation to address uncertainties and combines this with a convex optimization-based control scheme able to handle overload situations. An algorithm to solve the optimization in real-time is presented together with perf

Sedan avregleringen av den svenska elmarknaden infördes 1996 har en rad nya tjänster inom branschen utvecklats medan andra har försvunnit. Syftet med denna studie är att redogöra för hur tjänsteutbudet på elmarknaden har ändrats från avregleringens början fram till i dag samt karakterisera energitjänsten "Elstatistik" från följande tre huvudperspektiv: kundens perspektiv, företagets perspektiv, en

The classical Levin-Pfluger theory of entire functions of completely regular growth ($CRG$) of finite order $\rho$ in one variable establishes a relation between the distribution of zeros of an entire function and its growth. The most important and interesting result in this theory is the fundamental principle for $CRG$ functions. In the book of Gruman and Lelong, this basic theorem was generalize

A consequence of the assertion by many scholars that the Epistle to the Ephesians is a deutero-Pauline text is that “the new perspective”, suggested by J. D. G. Dunn et alii – and even less, “the radical new perspective”, forwarded by Pamela Eisenbaum et alii – on Paul’s letters has not been applied to the same extent as in the scholarly discussion on Paul’s non-disputed letters. Given that the au

In the course of writing my thesis I have spent considerable time of my research in the archives of local handicraft associations. Working parallel to a research-environment that predominantly has been using methods of Material Culture (Henry Glassie, 1999) I have myself occasionally tried to add the thought of seeing traditional textile as an important visual culture. The treatment of different
