Classification and preparation of land use map are the most commonly used methods in remote sensing data. Numerous advanced classification methods have been developed in a recent year. Among those methods, one can name support vector machine. Identifying land cover changes can play an important role in future decisions of regional managers. Therefore, the present study aimed at employing CA–Markov model to present a powerful b...

In this study the optimum conditions for preparing the iron-doped TiO 2 nanoparticles were investigated. Samples were synthesized by sol–gel impregnation method. Three effective parameters were optimized using Taguchi method, consisted of: (i) atomic ratios of Fe to Ti; (ii) sintering temperature; (iii) sintering time. The characterization of samples was determined using X-ray diffraction, BET- specific surface area, UV- Vis r...
