Abstract
Iranian rural carpets are an important resource for studying the rural art and culture of Iran. They are also the most important area for staging the talents of, especially, rural girls and women. The common aspects of visual elements bespeak the prevailing spirit in these works under the influence of interaction with nature and lessons learned thereby. Also the availability of materials in the rural environment has the greatest influence on the physical aspects of design and texture. Rural-urban interaction and that with the nomadic population, and adapting the imported patterns to rural life is an outstanding feature of rural carpets. Adaptability of rural carpets to traditional rural applications and architecture is truly remarkable. The aesthetics of these works reveals their underlying principles, and the characteristics of their creators, and helps understand their worldview and attitude to their environment. Perhaps, that will present us with the gift of a new understanding of existence. The last point is that rural carpets are distinguishable from the urban and nomadic varieties.

Abstract
New nanofiltration membranes were produced in the form of unfilled fibers through the photopolymerization method. Parastyrene sodium sulfonate was used as the vinyl monomer to reform the polysulphone ultra-filtration membranes. The modified membranes were used to purify colored solutions of three different pigments consisting acidic, reactive and direct (suitable for dyeing pile yarns and warps), in order to refine and reuse the pigment solutions. The effect of various parameters like pressure, electrolyte, time, and the kind of pigment on the extent to which the pigment is confined and the flux of the membrane outflow was assessed. Results showed that besides the effective function of bleaching, the problem of barred pores observed in most commercial membranes built of polyamide also reduced significantly in the new membranes.

Abstract
A study of various deficiencies observed in the process of pile carpet weaving in the Province of Kashan has revealed that the most important defects are: unevenness, crimpled sides and erroneous application of the cartoon. Improving weavers’ skills will have a significant effect on reducing these defects. Therefore, weavers should be given educational advice on recognizing the capabilities of looms and other rug weaving equipment, the quality of raw materials and their harmonious use, the correct way of weaving flatwoven rugs, the manner of interlacing the wefts, and daftin-zadan (pounding an iron comb on the weft).

Abstract
Carpet weaving constituted the most important industry of Kerman province in the end of Qajars period. This industry attracted a large number of manpower and allotted itself the highest digit of export. There were many factories in flourishing carpet weaving of Kerman. The most effective factor in the prosperous of the industry was outer investing and foreign demand. In this investigation, the author on the bases of historical documents, texts and using descriptive-analytical method set out to discuss about weaving of carpet in Kerman and want to response to the question; What was the association between the capitalist system and the global market with carpet industry of Kerman during the Qajar period? Findings of the study shows growth of carpet weaving ensued by a type of global division of labor and on the bases of it, Iran had placed on the edge of international business system. Concentration in carpet weaving declined partly the other industries and attracted manpower of other manufacturing. Therefore carpet weaving was placed in the pinnacle industries of Kerman and even Iran. Rate of carpet trade between years of 1906-1907/1324-1325 embraced 53/21 percent of the whole of Kerman’s export. This digit in the years 1909-1910 increased to over 99/5 percent and on the eve of WWI, in 1913-1914 export of Iranian carpet and shawl to Europe and America by Bander Abbas outlet elevated to 97/78 percent of Kerman’s trade.

Abstract
Bid Majnun( weeping willow) design is in the invaluable position because of being one of the most famous patterns among Persian rugs as well as their local varieties. Although it seems that there is not a particular region for the creation of this design , old samples have been observed in the north-west areas of Iran especially in Bidjar(Bijar). Such evidence may imply that Bidjar has been the source of this pattern. Using broken and semi-curvilinear lines and average weave cause to consider such rugs as local ones. Basic elements of these rugs are motifs such as weeping willow, cedar, poplar and fruit trees. These features in a balanced combination have made a common pattern which has been used in Chaharmahal & Bakhtiari province, the north-west areas of Iran and even in the other countries. This study attempts to reveal different varieties and the construction of the pattern of Bid Majnun through analysis of 20 samples from the main local areas in Iran. This research has been conducted by using descriptive statistics based on the comparison of the data. Data collection procedure has been accomplished by using field and library-based studies. As was briefly mentioned before, the results show that Bid Majnun design has a unique structure with a special design in different regions. Meanwhile, a little change in the construction of motifs has caused some variation in the pattern of Bid Majnun.
Key words: Bid Majnun Design, vagireh, construction of the patterns , Iranian carpet weaving , rural rugs

Abstract
In recent years, hand-woven carpets have lost their global status. Several problems have caused this issue. One of the important things is the uncertainty of the productivity of handwoven carpet production workshops. Existing productivity measurement methods are quantitative. In this industry, obtaining quantitative data is either not possible or hardly possible. So far, no research has been done for the qualitative evaluation of productivity. As a result, this research has been conducted with the aim of providing a qualitative method for evaluating the productivity of concentrated workshops for the production of handwoven carpets. The statistical populations and sampling methods in the first and second stages was: the experts of handwoven carpets, judgmental method; and the producers of handwoven in Isfahan, randomly method. To determine productivity evaluation indicators, the Delphi method was used, and one-sample t-test was used to evaluate productivity. In this research, a method for evaluating productivity was presented. Two dimensions of effectiveness and efficiency have been considered for productivity. Capital, materials, equipment, methods, management and human resources are indicators of efficiency, and achievement of goals and customer satisfaction are indicators of effectiveness. The results of the t-test show that its productivity, dimensions and components are more than the average but less than the ideal. In order to improve productivity, while reducing the amount of consumables and manpower costs that make up a high percentage of the costs of handwoven carpets, it is necessary to increase outputs by improving work methods and using appropriate tools.
