Management of groundwater quality is very important in arid and semi-arid areas. In this study, satellite images from TM, ETM and OLI sensors were used to evaluate the impacts of land use changes on groundwater quality for 1990, 2007 and 2015 in Shabestar basin. After processing and analyzing images, the basin was classified into five land use classes including pasture, bare land, farming, gard...

In this study, changes in some quality parameters of fish chips produced from sand smelt (Atherina boyeri, RISSO 1810) during storage period (at -18  o C for 6 months) were determined.  The difference between the amount of moisture, crude protein, crude fat and crude ash components of raw fish in fish chips was significant (P < 0.05). Pre-frying  process resulted in a decrease in all fatty acid...
