Abstract: The rural communities depend heavily on plant diversity for the fulfillment of their basic needs and conservation of other natural resources. They collect useful plant resources from various habitats and utilize them using indigenous knowledge and practices. Using medicinal plants has been considered by local people for a long time in different regions. Today, unfortunately, many of modern societies and even local communities do not have adequate knowledge about medicinal plants as well. Therefore, this study was designed to probe scientific identification and investigate culture of medicinal plants consumption based on scientific references, and indigenous knowledge in Ghasem Abad rangeland, situated in the west of Isfahan province. For this purpose, all plant species were investigated based on scientific references and medicinal plants were identified during 2008-09. Also indigenous knowledge of local people about medicinal plants’ utilization was recorded by asking and observation way (in questionnaire). The results indicated that, more than 70% of total plants in this region belong to medicinal plants. Although, the local people recognize these kinds of plants; but they just consume only 35% of them. There are various medicinal plants in this area, and these medicinal plants belong to different families and life forms. Hemicryptophytes life forms cover more than 40% of total medicinal plants in this region. Moreover, the most consumption of medicinal plants among the local people belongs to Asteraceae, Papilionaceae, and Apiaceae with 21, 15 and 12 percent, respectively. Thus, combining the scientific and indigenous methods of identification and utilization of medicinal plants, not only could be effective on plants’ health and preserve the indigenous knowledge, but also local economy will be improved and enhanced.

Abstract: Today, we implement very huge collections of data that should be stored in several storage devices. These data collections consist of various types have different behavior. For this requirement, we use database systems. Now, there are two main approaches for design database those are used more than others: Relational and NoSQL. Relational databases are used for many years as main design pattern for data storage. But in 21th century, some concepts like Web2 make problems for this approach. Increasing size and amount of data based on user defined information and social networks with tremendous huge data sets lead database designers to NoSQL. NoSQL databases handle horizontal scaling and support dynamic change of values. It is schemaless and allow designers to construct various structures according to data objects. One of the challenges in data storage is storing and retrieving images. In relational databases, we can only save name of image in table and must store image file in separate folder out of our database on storage device and then retrieve it by matching name in table and name of file in folder. In Key-Value store systems like Redis that is one of methods of NoSQL, we can store file in database and retrieve it from. In this paper, we compare these two approaches by attending to memory and time consuming of each methods and analyze the results for present a suitable algorithm to storing and retrieving an image in a database. We use Python programming for interact with database systems.

Abstract: Today, with more complex urban issues, there are numerous ways to solve problems. One of the most common methods around the world, resulting in significant developments in information technology and communications, Where quality and way of life, such as social change and economic development, is significantly dependent on information and its utilization. Based on the findings of a survey among organizations and citizens of the city of Yazd is provided. To collect information on library, documentation and field (questionnaire) and SPSS20 software to analyze the data used finally, these results obtained from the use of IT facilities for urban current affairs is low. Centers, facilities and web sites of IT services provider in the city of Yazd in providing electronic services to citizens has been quite satisfactory. A bout the index of E-citizen and acceptance of it, people are more willing to use the technology. And finally, the access to information and communication technology, although high among managers, but most citizens do his work by calling. The study suggests that because of structural weaknesses and lack of expertise in the use of this technology, managers tend to do things the traditional method that requires training in this field.

Abstract: The total number of isolated fungi from the fish stored in various storage medium at different temperature shows that the freezer recorded the least; this may be due to the fact that most of the isolates could not survive mesophilic temperature while ambient temperature and refrigeration have equal number of isolates. The survey of mycoflora on dried Bonga fish stored at refrigeration temperature (4 ± 2 0C) shows that the frequencies of occurrence of the fungal isolates were in the order of Aspergillus flavus 4 (30.78 %) > Rhizopus oryzae 3 (23.08 %) > Aspergillus niger 2 (15.38 %) > Penicillium chrysogenum 2 (15.38 %) respectively, while Aspergillus terrus and Microsporum sp have equal frequencies of occurrence of 1(7.69 %) each being the least while at ambient temperature the frequencies of occurrence of the fungal isolates were in the order of Aspergillus flavus 6 (30 %) > Rhizopus oryzae 5(25 %) > Aspergillus niger 4 (20) > Penicillium chrysogenum 3 (15 %) respectively, while Aspergillus terrus and Microsporum sp have equal frequencies of occurrence of 1(5 %) each being the least. Storage made at freezer temperature (-2 ± 2 0C) has a reduction in the number of isolated fungi. Only four mycoflora were isolated with. The frequencies of occurrence of the fungal isolates were in the order of Aspergillus flavus 4 (40%) > Aspergillus niger 3 (30 %) > Rhizopus oryzae 2 (20 %) > Penicillium chrysogenum 1 (10 %) respectively The moisture contents decrease with increase in the storage temperature. Freezer (-2 ± 2 0C) has the moisture content of 4.6 %, followed by refrigeration (4 ± 2 0C) with the moisture content of 2.4 % and the least moisture content of 1.6 % was recorded at ambient temperature (25 ± 2 0C) while the pH of the Bonga fish during the storage conditions was slight acidic. Isolated fungi were statistically analyzed and the test applied was F-test statistic at p= 0.05 level of significant. Preservation could probably be better if the fish product is kept in a hostile environment such as the show glass equipped with heating element or in a regulated oven so as to reduce drastically the moisture content of the fish which is the basic requirement for microbial growth and hence, inhibit the growth of the microorganisms causing fish spoilage.

Abstract: I am very impressed by the work you have done and I think it is a step in the right direction. But it will take me some time to read it properly. Maharishis Mahesh Yogi has attempted a similar unifying analysis and modeling of the various schools of the Vedic philosophy and Tony Nader the present leader of Transcendental meditation. How do we exchange about these kinds of knowledge in a way that will improve the quality of these works. Nobody can be precise and consistent all the way through such huge amounts of very different kinds of knowledge. We need conferences and journals to discuss and improve on these huge transdisciplinary knowledge systems and finds way to make East and West meet.
