Abstract
The historical factors hindering the development of Iran has always been the concern of Iranian researchers. One of the most frequently applied frameworks in analysis of these historical factors is the Neo-Marxist and dependency approach.
This paper attempts to evaluate the functionality of these approaches with regard to Iranian development. Neo-Marxist approach to development is in fact an attempt to rely on the classic Marxism in order to analyze the development process of Capitalism and its after effects to the developing or under-developed economies.
The advantage of the dependency theory over other Neo-Marxist theories is the fact that it does not relate all factors to the world economy or countries’ position in the Capitalist system. Instead, it tries to take into account social, political and ideological constructs of each country in its analysis.
In the evaluation of the dependency-approach oriented researches in Iran, the fatalistic and deterministic aspects of these analyses was criticized as they fail to fully draw the relationship between Iran and the world. Consequently, they have not been able to present a truthful picture of the social and political forces at work in Iran.

Abstract
Deep drawing process is one of the most important processes of sheet forming, which is widely used in the deformation of metal sheets in order to produce parts with complex geometry. Several studies have been carried out on some steels with good formability such as low-carbon and austenitic stainless steels. Among different types of plain carbon steels, high carbon eutectiod steels are capable to withstand cold and warm working without formation of any defect, due to their fully pearlitic microstructure without the presence of proeutectoid phases and nano-sized cementite lamella. However, no comprehensive research has been conducted on the deep drawing process of eutectoid steel. In the present research, the formability of CK75 steel sheets was experimentally evaluated using warm deep drawing process. Warm deep drawing process of the CK75 steel was studied in the temperature range near and below the eutectoid transformation temperature. The results show that deformation at 700°C (near to the eutectoid temperature) lead to the uniform distribution of thickness and less instability. On the other hand, maximum instability (e.g. thinning) was obtained by warm deformation at 550°C. At the temperature above the eutectoid transformation temperature, due to the formation of multi-phase structure and non-uniform distribution of cementite particle, the workability was reduced and led to the occurrence of rupture during deep drawing.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate aqueous extraction process as a safe and environmentally friendly method for extracting oil from flaxseed. For this purpose, flaxseeds were first roasted (at 120 °C for 45 minutes), then ground and the extraction process was performed. In the aqueous extraction process, temperature (25-70 ° C), time (1.5-5.5 hours) and pH (4-7) conditions were applied and qualitative characteristics (acid value, peroxide value and oil extraction yield) were measured. The results showed that, with increasing extraction time and temperature, the obtained oil yield also increased, so that the maximum yield related to extraction time of 3 hours, extraction temperature of 70 °C and pH=4. Also acid and peroxide values increased by increase of the extraction time and temperature. According to the results of the acid value, peroxide value and extraction oil yield, extraction at 70 °C, 2.45 h and pH=4 was selected as the optimal treatment and quality characteristics of the extracted oil was evaluated during storage. The results showed that, chlorophyll, carotenoids and total phenol content significantly decreased (p≤0.05) during storagemouseout="msoCommentHide('_com_1')" onmouseover="msoCommentShow('_anchor_1','_com_1')">[U1] . Also, acid and peroxide values had a significant increase during storage (p≤0.05) and the maximum observed at 60th day storage. It was concluded that aqueous extraction of oil from flaxseed despite its relatively low efficiency, improved quality characteristics and can be a good alternative to conventional methods.

Abstract
Drying is one of the effective ways to increase shelf life and preserve the useful compounds of materials, which can be improved by using different methods and materials. The use of bioactive compounds as a pre-treatment can be one of the effective methods to increase functional and antibacterial properties. This research was conducted to simultaneously apply ultrasonic pretreatment and pure apple vinegar before drying garlic slices, and investigate their effect on the functional and antibacterial properties of dried garlic slices by hot air. Before drying, the slices were floated in pure apple vinegar and distilled water under ultrasonic treatment (frequency of 40 kHz) for 10 minutes at 35oC, and also in pure apple vinegar for 10 minutes at 35oC. Then they dried using a hot air circulation dryer at a temperature of 50oC to reach a moisture content of 6% (wet basis). The chemical properties of samples including total phenolic and flavonoid content, functional properties, antioxidant capacity, and antibacterial properties were evaluated. The results showed that the use of ultrasound pretreatment together with pure apple vinegar had the greatest effect in the increase of bioactive compounds and antibacterial properties of samples compared with the control one. The results showed that the use of ultrasonic and pure apple vinegar improved the quality, functional, and antibacterial properties of dried sliced garlic samples.
