Flood flows of hill torrents have potential prospects for development to meet growing demands of water for agriculture. However to harvest this potential through traditional systems is not a success story. This paper discusses GIS and Remote Sensing tools application as a strategy to explore viable and economical prospective of floodwater management for spate irrigation. The fundamental problem is the optimal conservation of hill torrents flows and management of these water resources. To tackle this problem, a study for reservoir site selection was carried out. In this study, we present cost effective approach to mitigate the flood hazard while conserving this floodwater as irrigated water supply to minimize drought threats for a spate irrigation system. The novelty of study is development of a methodology for estimation of water holding capacity for reservoir by using geo-informatics tools. The objectives of paper are i. to demarcate the potential catchments of spate irrigation system and ii. floodwater storage by siting reservoir with geo-informatics tools. As an auxiliary output, a geo database is generated for intend to use its attribute data and spatial data for future research projects. This geo database include data layers of satellite imagery, GPS aided ground control points, irrigation network, catchments, administrative boundaries, proposed reservoir site location and digitized linear and polygon features. The results of this study depict that agricultural water management would be carried out efficiently with the use of developed methodology. The reliability of proposed reservoir solution is higher due to the use of high resolution datasets.  <#LINE#> @ @ Triana E. and Labadie J.W., GIS-Based Decision Support System for Improved Operations and Efficiency Conservation in Large-Scale Irrigation Systems, Journal of Irrigation and Drainage Engineering, 1(1),  857–867 (2012) @No $ @ @ Komakech H.C., Mul M.L., van der Zaag P., and Rwehumbiza F.B.R., Water allocation and management in an emerging spate irrigation system in Makanya catchment, Tanzania, Agricultural Water Management, 98(11),  1719–1726 (2011) @No $ @ @ Belaqziz S., Khabba S., Er-Raki S., Jarlan L., Le Page M., Kharrou M.H., M.

<#LINE#>Cash Management in Production Planning: An Approach for Iranian Industries<#LINE#>Mehdy@MoradyGohareh,GharnehNaser@Shams,Majid@Aminnayeri<#LINE#>23-32<#LINE#>4.ISCA-RJRS-2013-295.pdf<#LINE#>Department of Industrial Engineering, Amirkabir University of Technology,424 Hafez Avenue, 1591634311, Tehran, IRAN<#LINE#>21/5/2013<#LINE#>3/6/2013<#LINE#>This paper presents a financial production planning model for Iranian industries and similar production environments. Iranian production environment entails a rather unique combination of financial aspects such as high inflation/interest rate, payments by installments and cash shortage problems. In Iranian markets, payments via installments are very common and usually buyers can choose among the available temporal patterns of payment. To incorporate this phenomenon in the production planning model, the concept of financial exchange patterns is defined. By combining these patterns with cash flows, availability of loans, time value of money and classic elements of production planning, a suitable model for Iranian industries is developed. The advantage of this model over the classic model is illustrated via extensive numerical experiments which are based on real data and reasonable scenarios. <#LINE#> @ @ Johnson, L.A. and Montgomery, D.C., Operations Research in Production Planning, Scheduling, and Inventory Control, Wiley, New York (1974) @No $ @ @ Luenberger, D.G., Investment Science, Oxford University Press, New York (1998) @No $ @ @ Jiaoa, Y.Y., Dub, J. and Jiao J., A financial model of flexible manufacturing systems planning under uncertainty: Identification, valuation and applications of real options, International Journal of Production Research, 45(6), 1389-1404 (2006) @No $ @ @ Lusa, A., Martínez-Costaa, C. and Mas-Machuca M., An integral planning model that includes production, selling price, cash flow management and flexible capacity, International Journal of Production Research, iFirst , 1-14 (2011) @No $ @ @ Kirca, O. and Koksalan, M., An integrated production and financial planning model and an application, Technical Report no. 90-07, Industrial Engineering Department, Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey (1990) @No $ @ @ Kirca, O. and Koksalan, M., An integrated production and financial planning model and an application, IIE Transactions, 19 (8), 765-784 (1996) @No $ @ @ Satir, B., A general production and financial planning model for integrated poultry organizations, Thesis (Master).

To diversify the fuel-mix the Malaysian government set a technology specific target in 2011. The dynamic complexity of generation capacity expansion decision requires for development of an assessment model to evaluate the policy target. For this purpose, System dynamics modelling and simulation approach is used in this project. The model comprises of four sub-sectors: planning and permitting; construction; renewable operational capacity vintages, and investment decision. The time varying interactions between sub-models generate the dynamic behavior of the system. The simulation reveals a failure to achieve the renewable capacity target of 985 Mega-Watts by 2015. The model adds to the renewable energy policy development literature particularly in Malaysian context.  <#LINE#> @ @ Haidar A.M.A., John P.N. and Shawal M., Optimal configuration assessment of renewable energy in Malaysia, Renew.

Treatments were three composting times (C) and three sizes (S) included: C= (size 0-0.5 cm + 0 month composted), C= (size 0-0.5 cm + 3 months composted), C= (size 0-0.5 cm + 6 months composted), C= (size 0.5-1 cm + 0 month composted),  C= (size 0.5-1 cm + 3 months composted), C= (size 0.5-1 cm + 6 months composted), C= (size 1-2 cm + 0 month composted), C= (size 1-2 cm + 3 months composted), C= (size 1-2 cm + 6 months composted). During cultivation, the Papadopolus formula was used as fertigation solution. To compare the effect of plant cultivation, we measured the effects of the same treatments on media without plant. Statistical analysis showed concentrations of Mn, Cu, Fe and Zn were significantly increased at the end of cultivation from culture media without and with plant in compare to before planting (P0.05). Amounts of Mn, Cu, Zn and Fe in tomato fruit and leaf differed significantly depending on composting time and particle size of culture media (P 0.05). Maximum concentrations of Mn, Cu, Zn and Fe in tomato fruit and leaf indicated that culture media 6 months composted and size 0.5-1 cm increased microelements of tomato fruit and leaf more than the other treatments. The overall results of this research showed that properties of culture media, media irrigation with nutrient solution and micronutrients absorption by plants were determinant of amounts of available microelements in culture media before and after planting. Also the characteristics of the growing media determined the amounts of microelements in tomato fruit and leaf. <#LINE#> @ @ Riaz A., Arshad M., Younis A., Raza A. and Hameed M., Effects of different growing media on growth and flowering of zinnia elegans cv, Blue Point, Pak.

<#LINE#>The Correlation between Factor of Safety and Twist Angle in Axial Fan Blade<#LINE#>Ali@Zare,Ali@Najafzadeh,AhmadiNaeim@E.,Behzad@Shahizare<#LINE#>50-56<#LINE#>8.ISCA-RJRS-2013-370.pdf<#LINE#><#LINE#>21/6/2013<#LINE#>1/7/2013<#LINE#>  These days, improving energy efficient systems is one of the most controversial and significant global focuses. However, this trend in the field of engineering researches concentrates on the optimization of the existing technologies more than implementing new ones. Meanwhile, fans are one of the potent devices to be more efficient. Improvement in fan’s efficiency can be achieved by varying the twist angle of the blade. As the variation of twist angle affects the factor of safety, the present work focuses on the stress analysis of the axial fan blade with different twist angles, by the use of finite element method. Due to this, an axial fan blade with NACA5514 airfoil that is made by Aluminum 6061-T91 will be analyzed to find the correlation between the factor of safety and the twist angle in various pressure loadings.<#LINE#> @ @ Atre Pranav C., and Thundil Karuppa Raj R., Numerical Design and Parametric Optimization of Centrifugal Fans with Airfoil Blade Impellers, Res.

<#LINE#>Comparative Analysis of Fumihiko Maki's Works according to Japanese Traditions and Concepts<#LINE#>Mirmiran@SeyyedMahdieh<#LINE#>64-71<#LINE#>10.ISCA-RJRS-2013-148.pdf<#LINE#> Gilan University, IRAN <#LINE#>25/3/2013<#LINE#>19/6/2013<#LINE#>Referring to traditional architecture and the ways of using its principles in the contemporary architecture is always a main concern in countries possessing a rich architectural background. There are various attitudes toward the way contemporary architecture has been combined with the traditional architecture in different historical periods. It seems that this combination is more felt in the countries whose architecture is combined with traditions and religions of those countries .the reason is that this combination plays an important role in making the identity of countries. During the history, various religions and creeds had been present in Japan. Old traditions and creeds such as Shinto, Buddhism, Confucius, Taoism and so forth were the primary religions of Japan whose foundations dates back to 6ooo years BC up to 7 century AD. The way in which the connection is made with the traditional architecture of countries possessing a rich architectural background has always been a concern. In Japan, because of fusion of religious principles and people’s lives over time, it is necessary for the contemporary architectures in Japan to feel this fusion. The present paper is a case study which studies Fumihiko Maki’s works according to Japanese traditions and concepts via a comparative analysis. <#LINE#> @ @ Byrne Erhart H., Japan religion: integrity and multi diversity, (trans.

For this purpose, a lot of techniques have been developed to predict the flood like Hydrograph, unsteady Flow River like SPH(Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics), ANFAS, FRICS, DMS and CBC. However these are not efficient to take benefits of uprising concepts for prediction. To overcome the problems, we developed a system based on mobile agent concepts. For mobile agent communication, VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) is used which is useful in any type of critical conditions. For this, we develop a mobile agent based algorithm which can provide communication of server and client agent. This divides the system in two parts server and client agent. The client agent is responsible for calculating the discharge of flood based on water passing through the cross-section area, calculated by Simpson’s1/3rd method and its velocity. The responsibility of the server agents to take the decision of inundation area depends on the discharge of water and historical data. <#LINE#> @ @ Ghazali J.N. and Kamisn A., A Real Time Simulation and Modeling of Flood Hazard, 12th WSEAS  International Conference on System, 438-443 (2008) @No $ @ @ Jinxing Z., Yan W. and YijunL., A Review of an  Early Warning  Technique of  Flash Flood  and Debris Flow Disaster, ISCO 13th International Soil Conservation Organization Conf.,  Brisbane, , 432-439 (2004) @No $ @ @ Sengupta S.K., Bales J.D., Jubach R., Scott A.C. and Kane M.D., Flood Forecasting and Inundation Mapping in the Mahanadi River Basin: A  Collaborative Effort between India and the United States, (2006) @No $ @ @ Ministry of lands Japan, Japan Tokai Heavy Rain, WMO/GWP Associated Programme on Flood Management (2000) @No $ @ @ Cigizoglu H., Askin P., Ozturk A., Gurbuz A.  and Ayhan O., Artificial Neural Networks Models In Rainfall-Runoff Modeling  of  Turkish Rivers, International Conference on river Basin Management, Turcia (2007) @No $ @ @ Sezen N. and Gunduz N., Meric River Floods And Turkish-Bulgarian Cooperations, International Congress on River Basin  Management,  Turcia (2007) @No $ @ @ Zhang X.Z., Jing R.L and Tang K.D., Evaluation for flood control influence on Zhangjiazhuang (Cihe River) bridge,  Proc.

<#LINE#>Calculating Free and Forced Vibrations of multi-story Shear Buildings by Modular method<#LINE#>Ashari@EhsanEsna<#LINE#>83-90<#LINE#>13.ISCA-RJRS-2013-324.pdf<#LINE#>YoungResearchers and elite Club, Qazvin Branch, Islamic Azad University, Qazvi,IRAN<#LINE#>31/5/2013<#LINE#>9/7/2013<#LINE#>The present study discretizes and calculates free and forced vibrations of a multi-story building by shear model. The present study shows that for free vibrations a dynamic system becomes a static system; as a result, static theories of linear structures can be used. Then, frequencies and modular forms are calculated. By contribution of Betti’s corresponding displacement theorem, orthogonal characteristic of modules is characterized. For forced vibrations, employment of module converts multi-degrees free engaged dynamic system to several independent single-degree free dynamic systems in each of which mass, spring stiffness and forced force for new system are linear combinations of mass, spring stiffness and forced force of engaged system. For example, frequencies, modular forms and forced displacement from transverse load to story such as hurricane force and acceleration imposed on building foundation, say earthquake, are manually calculated and compared by simulating with commercial-research software package, ANSYS. Results from ANSYS for forced vibrations are more accurate that results from approximate method of SAP 2000. <#LINE#> @ @ Paz M. and Leigh W., Structural Dynamics, Theory and Computations, Updated with SAP 2000, 5th Edition, Kluwer Academic Publishers, (2004) @No $ @ @ Chopra A.K., Dynamics of Structures, Theory and Applications to Earthquake Engineering, 3rd Edition, Prentice Hall, (2000) @No $ @ @ Chowdhury I.C. and Dasgupta S.P., Dynamics of Structure and Foundation, A Unified Approach, I.

Military action taken by the states solely for the protection of human rights against the other state highlighted a tension between the concepts of state sovereignty and protection of human rights proclaimed by the UN charter. To overcome this tension principle of responsibility to protect was formulated which demands that international community has the responsibility to react in instances of human right violations taking place in any state. Starting from humanitarian intervention to the formulation of principle of responsibility to protect this article examines how far the R2P is successful in addressing the problems faced by the humanitarian intervention  and whether  its established as a legal norm of international law with particular reference to the Libya humanitarian intervention as a case study. <#LINE#> @ @ Anthony Clark Arend and Robert  J.

Initially, based on satellite imagery, topographical, geomorphological and hydrogeological features, an area of about 206 sq.km was demarcated as a promising zone for groundwater exploration in the study area. The problem of the study is a representative case of overexploitation of groundwater resources, leading to the continuous exhaustion of the grained as well as the groundwater aquifer. In such situations topographic, landuse, geology, hydrogeological and geomorphological features provide useful clues for the selection of suitable areas. Identifying a good site for groundwater exploration in coastal terrain is a challenging task. From the fluctuation map it is found that maximum recharge in deeper water level is found in the central and southern part of the present study area. Eastern and Northern part of the study area shows minimum rise of water level of less than 4 m. The water level fluctuation of the study area compounds is considered for components of recharge. In general, the coastal terrain formations do not have good groundwater potential. Still, integrated studies help to ascertain the presence of hidden water bearing formations. <#LINE#> @ @ Alaguraja P., Durairaju S.,  Yuvaraj D., Sekar M.,  Muthuveerran P.,  Manivel M. and Thirunavukkarasu A.,  Land Use and Land Cover Mapping – Madurai District, Tamilnadu, India Using Remote Sensing and GIS Techniques, International journal of Civil and Structural Engineering, , 91-100 (2010) @No $ @ @ Dar I.A., Sankar K. and Dar M.A., Deciphering groundwater potential zones in hard rock terrain using geospatial technology, Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 173, 597-610 (2010) @No $ @ @ Hemapriya R., Sankar K. and Imran A.
