Abstract
Nahj al-balagha is one of the most valuable religious books that has a unique position among Shiite Muslims worldwide. This precious work includes significant aspects which have persuaded many to translate. Translating religious texts in comparison with others has excellent sensitivity, confronting the translators with lots of limitations. However, these texts were not an exception to manipulation. One of the most challenging subjects in this book is related to women. Women’s position in Imam Ali’s words is always in dispute among translators. The present study aimed to investigate the impact of translators’ gender and ideology in translating Nahj al-balagha’s sermons, letters, and sayings about women in Dashti and Aghamirzaei’s translations. To achieve this goal, those words and sentences related to women were selected, compared, and analyzed according to Farahzad critical discourse analysis model and Zuberga manipulation strategies. The result of the research revealed that in their translation, ideology has had a significant role and has made a great difference. Moreover, it was proved that there was no significant relationship between the translator’s gender and the gendered translation. Surprisingly, despite being a male translator, Dashti has translated these parts more positively than Aghamirzaei as a female translator.

Abstract
Creation of capacity concentrates on understanding obstacles halting people, governments, and organizations from the realization of development goals. It also makes them achieve results of consistent development. The goal of this study is to propose a conceptual analysis of elements and results of organizational capacity building in higher education to respond to expectations of the society. The directionality of this research is developmental and its methodology is content analysis using an analogy approach concentrating on words, inspections, and precision in the text in order to analyze, describe, explain, and interpret the texts through creating primary codes and coding. The statistical population of this project involves academic scholars and the set of documents and papers related to the questions and variables in this study. 13 samples chosed through Snowball sampling. In this section, semi - structured interview method was used to collect data. To assess the accuracy of findings we used theoretical validation through the points posed by the scholars in the field known as the specialist committee to assess as well as Cohen's kappa coefficient for assurance of accuracy of study method and data collection in the intended phenomenon. By confirmation of the focal group and the estimation of the coefficient 0.761, the research findings had the ability to validate and trust. Results showed that organizational capacity building contains five major concepts of strategic, structural, systemic and procedural, cultural, resources and infrastructures development and a social responsiveness concept as the outcome of the phenomenon under investigations. Therefore, it is suggested to study individual analysis and environmental analysis levels in creating capacity.

Abstract
Objective: The LRR (leucine rich proteoglycans) is a molecular recognition motif found in proteins with some roles in cell adhesion, signal transduction, DNA repair and RNA processing. Opticin is a member of this family. Takanosu et al (2001) detected messenger RNA expression of mouse opticin in the eye, heart, brain, testis, thyroid and epididymis by dot blot hybridization.
In this study, expression levels of mRNA and protein of opticin was investigated by two monoclonal antibodies which were raised against opticin peptides. By this method structure of opticin in human and mouse has been studied.
Materials and Methods: Mouse tissues including, kidney, testis, liver, lung, heart, brain, muscle, spleen and eye were isolated. Opticin expression was identified at mRNA and protein levels by RT-PCR and Western blot.
Results: PCR analysis revealed that opticin mRNA is expressed in all the tissues studied except for the lung. However, opticin protein was detected in all tissues analyzed.
Conclusion: Expression of opticin in the adult murine tissues may suggest functions other than that of putative regulation of vitreous collagen fibrillogenesis for this molecule.

Abstract
This paper presents an experimental study on the effects of printing parameters on the tensile strength of the polymer-metal composites printed via Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technique .In the recent years, 3D printer systems have been widely employed in various industries. FDM is one of the most widely used 3D printer systems worldwide due to its simplicity and lower cost. Although extensive research works have been carried out in the area of 3D printing, less efforts have been reported in developing new materials and their use in FDM process. The materials utilized in this study consisted of Cu particles in ABS polymeric matrix with a constant 25 wt.% of metal powder. The filament production line was implemented to accustom with the manufacturing process. The printing variables were selected as nozzle (orifice) diameter, layer height, fill pattern and nozzle temperature that were examined in three levels. Taguchi method was employed to find the optimal FDM process parameters. The main effect, signal-to- noise ratio and analysis of variance were employed to analyze the process parameters in order to achieve optimum tensile strength of the composite material specimens. Finally, the specimens were produce at the optimized parameters to confirm the tests and method.

Abstract
Cinnamon is a flavoring compound with antioxidant activity derived from phenolic and nonphenolic volatile compounds of the bark. In this study, RSM statistical software of central composite design (CCD) with coefficient α = 2 and three factors A: percentage of cinnamon replacement with cardamom (0-100%) and factor B: percentage of animal butter replacement with plant butter (0-100%) and factor C: cooking temperature (110-130 ) were used. Test responses were: texture and color. Then optimum samples 1 and 2 were compared with control at 0-15-30-45 days after production by SPSS software for physicochemical parameters including hardness, density, sensory acceptability, peroxide number, thiobarbituric acid index, anisidine number, and Totoxes were compared. Sohan-Polaki treated with cinnamon and butter had lower peroxide, anisidine number and toxic index compared to control. The Sohan-Polaki treated with cinnamon and butter had a higher density than the control. The hardness of cinnamon and animal butter-treated sohans was not significantly different from the control treatment. Cinnamon and butter-treated Sohan-Polaki had more sensory properties than control. Increasing the percentage of cinnamon at a 25% replacement level compared to 75% replacement level showed higher hardness at all temperatures studied. With the increase in the percentage of butter in the formulation of Sohan-Polaki, the hardness decreased. At the 50% substitution level of cinnamon, the same hardness was observed at both substitution levels (25% and 75%). The same trend was observed for the brightness index with increasing cinnamon content at both 115 and 125 ° C at three levels of animal butter replacement (25, 50 and 75%). With the increase in animal butter in the formulation, the index a* was increased, so that the highest a* was obtained for the 25% cinnamon replacement level and the 75% animal butter replacement level.

Abstract
Graphic Statics is a visual analysis and calculation method to find the type and amount of internal forces in structures, which achieves this importance away from computational difficulties and only with a geometric approach focused on two reciprocal diagrams of form and force. In this paper, arched trusses based on Warren type are analyzed using graphic statics. For this purpose, the parametric model of form and force diagrams were programmed in the Grasshopper parametric plugin. Parametrization has also provided the ability to find and analyze any different types of free-form trusses based on the type of warren truss. To measure the validity of the method and the accuracy of the algorithm written in the Grasshopper add-on, the numerical results obtained from several samples of arched trusses under different loads have been compared with the finite element computational method. The results of the validation simulations indicate the high accuracy and speed of the proposed algorithm.

Abstract
In orthopedic surgery, the drilling process is used to internally fix the fracture zone. During bone drilling, if the temperature exceeds the limit of 47 °C, it results in altered bone alkaline phosphatase nature, occurrence of thermal necrosis, non-fixation and inadequate bone fusion In order to investigate the effective parameters of the drilling process, after three-dimensional modeling of the femur bone in Mimics software and determination of bone coefficients based on the Johnson-Cook model, numerical simulation of the cortical and trabecular bone oblique drilling process have been performed. The drilling process was performed in both normal and high speed modes based on reverse heat transfer theory using DEFORM-3D software. The results of numerical simulation after validation with experimental results showed that this theory is capable of estimating the temperature and heat flux in this process and the occurrence of necrosis in both processes (normal and high speed) is imminent. The temperature in the drilling area of the trabecular bone is higher than the cortical bone at all speeds and feed rates and the axial force of the trabecular bone is less than the cortical bone at all speeds and feed rates. The optimum point leading to the minimum temperature in normal drilling of trabecular and cortical bone is the feed rate of 150 mm/min and the rotational speed of 2000 rpm. This optimum point is obtained in the high-speed drilling of trabecular and cortical bone at the feed rate of 150 mm/min and rotational speed of 4,000 rpm and 7,000 rpm.

Abstract
Thin-walled tube bending is one of the important processes for manufacturing parts in the automotive and aerospace industries. This paper investigates the effect of heat treatment on the bendability of thin-walled tubes made of AA6063 alloy. With the hydro rotary draw bending process, the cross-section ovality of the as-received, annealed, and artificial aged tubes has been examined at different fluid pressures. In the experiments, the tube diameter to tube thickness ratio was 13.88. Also, the critical bending ratio was 1.6, and the bending angle was 90 degrees. By examining the results, it has been found that heat treatment and fluid pressure had an important effect on the quality of the bent tubes. By increasing the fluid pressure to 3.6 MPa, critical cross-section ovality has decreased in all specimens. The maximum decrease of cross-section ovality is obtained in the annealed sample by 49%. Also, in the artificially aged specimens, the critical cross-section ovality decreases by about 45%. It has also been observed that at a pressure of 3.6 MPa, the critical cross-section ovality of the annealed sample has improved by 19% compared to the artificially aged specimens.

Abstract
In addition to the need for lightweight properties, the metallic bipolar plates in the PEM fuel cells should work in a humid and acidic environment. Due to its low density and excellent corrosion resistance, titanium is a proper candidate for manufacturing bipolar plates. In this paper, the manufacturing of bipolar plates made of commercially pure titanium with an initial thickness of 0.1 mm was investigated using the stamping process. A four-channel die with a parallel flow field was used in the experiments. To estimate the formability of microchannels of the bipolar plates, the response surface method, genetic algorithm, and adaptive neural fuzzy inference system were employed. Die clearance, stamping speed, and friction coefficient between the sheet and die were considered input variables, whereas the die filling rate was as output. The designed experiments using the response surface method were used to train the meta-heuristic techniques. The results showed that the regression model obtained from the response surface method predicts the die filling rate with acceptable accuracy. Furthermore, the coefficients of the equation obtained from the regression have been improved using the genetic algorithm and the error rate has been reduced by about 53%. Finally, an adaptive neural fuzzy inference system was used to predict the die filling. The results showed that the proposed system is very feasible and approximates the maximum filling rate with high accuracy.

Abstract
With the emergence and expansion of additive manufacturing processes, especially the fused deposition modeling process, extensive research has been conducted on these processes. One important research area is strengthening the printed parts by the fused deposition modeling method. One of the main areas of research is related to the strengthening of printed parts by the fused deposition modeling method. This process enables the production of complex structures and the customization of parts. On the other hand, polylactic acid material is one of the main materials used in this process, which has been noticed over other materials due to its biocompatibility and biodegradability properties. In this research, the effect of annealing heat treatment on the compressive strength and modulus of porous samples has been investigated with the approach of using them in tissue engineering as a scaffold for bone tissue. The samples are 3D printed with wiggle, grid, and honeycomb patterns and with filling percentages of 40, 70, and maximum. In addition, the effect of two parameters, the extrusion width, and the layer height, has also been investigated. To create porous structures with interconnected porosities, the pattern of filling in each layer is rotated to a certain extent, and this causes the introduction of new porous structures that can have wide applications such as being used as scaffolds in tissue engineering. After evaluating the compressive mechanical properties of the samples, the same samples were heat treated, and then their compressive mechanical properties were also evaluated. The obtained results show that the maximum compressive strength and modulus occur in the sample with an extrusion width of 0.6 mm, layer height of 0.25 mm, wiggle filling pattern, and maximum filling percentage. The values of compressive strength and modulus for the non-heat-treated sample are equal to 84.51 MPa and 2.28 GPa respectively and for the heat-treated sample, it is equal to 105.44 MPa and 2.29 GPa respectively.

Abstract
In the legal systems of Iran and United States, the indemnity clauses against third parties are used in order to manage risks related to the contract, and in the assumption of damage to the third party and Filing a claim for damages on his part, these clauses change the rights and duties of the parties to the contract. Since the determination of the scope, nature and effects of the indemnity clause largely depends on the agreement of the parties and the way the clause is set, the parties' understanding of the concept of this clause has a significant effect on determining the nature, effects and ultimately enforceability of this clause in judicial authorities. In this analytical and comparative research, while examining the concept of the indemnity clause against third parties, we try to deal with the nature, effects and the methods of execution of this clause in private contracts in Iran and United States’ legal systems. According to the terms of the indemnity clause, one of the parties of the contractual relationship or both of them can accept the risk of final responsibility for the loss and damages imposed on the other party due to third party claims and the indemnifier's obligation is commitment to results. Although the indemnity clauses against third parties are valid between the parties, but , in order of protect the rights of third parties, they are non-opposabillity against them.
