The present research is an attempt in this field, and by analyzing the effective factors of landslide formation, attempts to carry out the zoning of the risk of mass movements of Gharah Chay watershed using analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Gharah Chai Basin is one of the sub-basins of the Atrak River. In this study, first the factors affecting the occurrence of landslides in the area were investigated, and the most important factors were identified to be lithology, slope alignment (structure, topography), slope, slope direction, land use, distance from village, the drainage network density, distance from river, distance from fault, and elevation classes in order, and then the landslide distribution map was prepared. In the hierarchical analysis method, the ten above factors were used. In this method, the factors considered are compared in pairs and the weight of the factors is calculated. For classifying the factors, they were scored with taking the percentage of slip level into account.<br /> At the end, the zoning model was obtained by considering the weights obtained for each factor and the scores obtained. Accordingly, the range was divided into five level of risks. The map was divided into five classes with very high (2.6 km<sup>2</sup>), high (14.4 km<sup>2</sup>), medium (14.5 km<sup>2</sup>), low (4.6 km<sup>2</sup>) and very low risk (1.8 km<sup>2</sup>).Investigating factors effective in occurrence of landslides in a region and the zoning of the resulting risks can effectively help reduce the damage caused by this phenomenon.

But, due to lack of direct vision, these methods are not efficient enough for very long distances, such as thousands of kilometers between the continents. In this case, space and astronomical objects should be used because of the insignificance of the intercontinental distance compared to it, as well as the simultaneous view of the two stations and the space mass in a constant time.

While the use of sediments of natural lakes as environmental documentation has been validated, the use of dam deposits (artificial lakes) as time records has been less frequent. But, apparently, for the purpose of examining the past pollution, artificial water resources are more attractive: these reserves are mostly located in proximity to cities and industrial pollutants, and sediments accumulate rapidly and simultaneously with the spread of contamination. The lack of interest in artificial reservoir sediments has been due to this view that the change in the level of water resources of these reservoirs is likely to cause considerable disturbance in reservoir sediments. This perception may be reinforced by the absence of research into sedimentary systems of artificial reservoirs. Therefore, there is a need for a revision of published research (relatively few studies that use sediments of artificial water reservoirs and studies on the literature of sediments of natural lakes) about the patterns and processes of artificial reservoirs, and thus, vitally assesses the potential and problems associated with the use of water deposits as time records of contamination.

The current understanding of sedimentation processes and distribution of sediment resulting from those processes is revised. Some important differences between artificial and natural lakes are emphasized and the requirements for sampling and interpretation of sedimentary data are discussed. It is suggested that a valuable source is currently in use, and it is also shown that artificial reservoir sediment data can provide important data for understanding and reconstruction of atmospheric pollution and watershed of these resources.https://www.sepehr.org/article_26558_5831a38319b89ced969c0ef70c1736a0.pdfNational Geographical OrganizationScientific- Research Quarterly of Geographical Data (SEPEHR)2588-3860197620110121Methodology for Designing Data Center Architecture for a Government OrganizationMethodology for Designing Data Center Architecture for a Government Organization808826559FAGholam Abbas Ma'soumiMaster of Science in Information and Communication TechnologyJournal Article20100725In the present era, the importance of productivity and the promotion of the performance of companies and organizations in a competitive environment has encouraged them to make more efficient use of computer networks. This is not only possible without the provision of fast, inexpensive, full time, easily available, secure and sustainable services. Therefore, organizations and companies, in the competitive world, must purchase, install and maintain a variety of equipment and hardware, and pay their capital and communicative costs. High costs, lack of skilled human resources, and failure to meet the standards are among the problems of these organizations. To solve these problems, data centers have been developed. These centers, with extraordinary security, strong support, and specific conditions, provide a platform for organizations and companies to leave their data, programs and services to these centers to be used by themselves and their customers remotely. Sooner or later, most Government agencies will have to move towards data centers as a result of high data volumes, the lack of a centralized storage system, availability issues, and security problems. In this paper, using a federal organizational architecture framework, a methodology for architectural design of a data center is presented.In the present era, the importance of productivity and the promotion of the performance of companies and organizations in a competitive environment has encouraged them to make more efficient use of computer networks.

Precipitation in the studied years and the years before and after it shows the instability and the many fluctuations whose prediction, based on the probable precipitation formulas in hydrology, is very simple, important and practical, and can help prevent financial and life losses in the future. In this research, using the 21-year precipitation data in 12 stations of Golestan plain, the characteristics and the quality of precipitation, the monthly-seasonal and spatial precipitation regime, have been analyzed and presented through columnar and circular diagrams and tables, and since precipitation is an unstable climatic element, which changes from year to year in terms of time intervals, and it can not be expected that the behavior of the climate be the same and homogeneous everywhere, therefore, in calculating the empirical probabilities of occurrence of precipitation and probable precipitation, their monthly and yearly variation coefficients have been analyzed.Precipitation as one of the climatic elements is an appropriate index for climate change.

In this paper, we have tried to examine the role and application of satellite imagery in environmental studies. GIS can be considered a high-level mapping product. The term "GIS" has been used in recent years as synonymous with the rapidly emerging technology for the processing of spatial data. GIS can be defined as a powerful set of computer tools for collecting, storing, restoring, transmitting and displaying spatial data from the real world for specific purposes.Today, we are facing with the ever-increasing advances in remote sensing and aerial photography and satellite imagery, with the increasing use of remote sensing and GIS in environmental planning, especially in various branches of natural sciences and earth sciences.
