Upgrading of Ilmenite and Titanomagnetite concentrates of KAHNOOJ ore by Slag-making route was investigated. The effects of the process parameters and pre-oxidation of the starting materials on the formation of slag, separation of slag from pig iron and distribution of elements have been studied. The results revealed that the time and temperature of reducing and melting steps, along with the type and amount of flux are the most important parameters of the process and have a significant effect on the characteristics of the products. For instance in the presence of 5 wt% of dolumite, the quantity of vanadium oxide in slag decreased on increasing the time and temperature of melting steps. The results also indicate that the pre-oxidation of the concentrates has no considerable effect on the process.

Comparative advantage is one of the most important economic criteria in production, import and export programming. In this survey, two group of comparative advantage recognition indices is used to investigate existence of the cereals production comparative advantage in Jiroft & KAHNOOJ in 2006-2007. The SCB, DRC and NSP are the first indexes and EAI, SAI and AAI are the second. Based on the findings, none of the cereals had the comparative advantage. Corn comparative advantage in the region was more than the country average. The calculated protective coefficients and PAM matrix showed that producers are paid indirect subsidies in form of output and inputs and also gain more profit by government intervention comparing to free trade.

In this paper, a study on efficiency increment (operation efficiency) of KAHNOOJ titanium pilot plant electrical roll separator with optimization of variable and effective parameters (crona voltage intensity, feed temperature and size distribution, rolls speed, crona electrodes position and splitter position) on operation efficiency is investigated and obtained results are presented. To achieve this aim, parameters were classified and then tests designed with Taguchi method. Feed size distribution tests in laboratory scale and the other tests in pilot plant scale were performed. Optimized values of crona intensity voltage, feed temperature, rolls speed was found to be 22 kv, 109, 154 rpm. However, the optimum position of crona electrodes, the first, second and third splitters were obtained to be 6, 8, 10 and 10 cm. In the position of optimum values, operation efficiency was increased from 35.9% to 46.1%. Moreover, operation efficiency in laboratory scale with d80 of 259 microns feed was maximized and operation efficiency of 46.0% obtained.

During one year, the Bardsir earthquake (2010/07/31, MS=5. 8), the KAHNOOJ earthquake (2011/06/15, MS=5. 7) and the Sirch earthquake (2011/06/26, MS=5. 2) have occurred in Kerman province (one of seismologically active area in eastern Iran). The earthquakes have been relocated and processed using local and regional recorded seismograms. Mechanism of the earthquakes were calculated using the first P motion method. Processing both locations and focal mechanisms indicate that these earthquakes are probably related to the Lalehzar, Sabzevaran and Golbaf fault systems, respectively. Bardsir and Sirch earthquake faults dip northeastward and KAHNOOJ earthquake fault dips eastward, indicating that both source faults dip steeply. Mechanisms of the earthquakes were right lateral strike slip, reverse with right lateral strike slip component and reverse mechanism, respectively. Finally, this research is in accordance to the field investigations, in which the maximum intensity in MM and JMA scales was estimated ~VI near epicentral area and no co-seismic surface rupture were detected for these earthquakes.

The aim of this study was to investigate the factors affecting "social deprivation" among young people in KAHNOOJ. The theoretical framework includes "agency", "structural" and "hybrid" approaches. The present study is practical. The statistical population of all 8500 young people aged 19 to 30 years in KAHNOOJ city and the sample size according to Morgan table is 384 people,Multi-stage cluster sampling was performed. Information is collected using a questionnaire and the content of the questionnaire is content and face. The reliability of Cronbach's alpha questionnaire is 0. 87. The results showed that among the factors,Structural factor with a coefficient of-0. 62 has the greatest impact on social deprivation and among the factors affecting the structural factor, economic factors with a coefficient of 0. 54, cultural factors with a coefficient of 0. 42 and political factors with a coefficient of 0. 38 can be said. "Social" among the youth of KAHNOOJ region is influenced by structural factors, which is an intertwined set of internal and external factors.

Temperature and humidity are two important parameters affecting the quality and quantity of greenhouse products so two double greenhouses were manufactured in 3.5, 40 and 11 m in height, length and width respectively in agricultural research center of jiroft and KAHNOOJ to study these effects. Both of greenhouses are similar in materials, final height, gutter height, covering and field operation but in one of them one heating system, two ventilation fans and one wooden pad were assembled and temperature and humidity besides yield were registered in both of them. The results showed that temperature changing trend inside and outside of the unheated greenhouse were in same phase and this isn't suitable in cold night so the greenhouse with heating system had more yield and picking cucumber fruit numbers than another. Therefore it is necessary to be heated by artificial systems. Because of rapid relative humidity changing in outside of greenhouse in the end of the season, the efficiency of fan and pads cooling system is so low then using of evaporating cooling systems such as fans and pad wasn't proposed and recommend to optimize the temperature by ventilation and shading the greenhouse and in hot days production will be cut.
