Abstract
In addition to medical recognition applications, X-ray CT-scan images are increasingly found to have more innovative and widespread applications. Due to the ability of producing high resolution and high contrast images from soft tissues with low attenuation coefficients, the usage of X-ray micro-focus source, which has a very small focal point (in the range of micrometer), plays an important role in those new applications. Since employing non-original knots in hand-knitted carpet reduces the carpet quality and the originality of knots cannot be visually recognized, in this research, a method has been introduced for recognition of the 3D structure of hand-knitted carpet using CT-scan images provided by micro-focus X-ray source. The images obtained by inverse Radon transform can even show the smallest units in the inner structure of the finest hand-knitted carpets. This method is a powerful device to recognize the originality, to inspect the structure and to study the impacts of different parameters on the structure of hand-knitted carpets and also for other applications which need scrutiny of 3D textiles.

Abstract
Globalization as a part of modern economy has been of huge controversies in different countries including Iran. Since Iran is attempting to increase its non-oil exports and its presence in global markets. Enduring in this competitive worldly market necessitates evaluation of tastes and creation of new markets for the products. Accordingly Iranian hand-woven carpets are among the top exports of the country is looking for a proper position in global trade. Traditional production and concentration on out-dated designs beside blind-weaving and neglecting the customers taste in target markets are the main reasons of the recession in its trade that are in an urgent need of reconsideration. Although carpet is of a great artistic value, its commercial value ought to be kept in mind as well. Studies show that there is a huge gap between carpet production in Iran and its marketing and evaluation of potential customers' taste around the world. It seems as if lack of interest in utilizing modern information technology tools among Iranian carpet traders abroad has caused them not receive enough information about customers' taste and as a result fail in relating the tastes and domestic production. This survey type descriptive study attempts to collect data through field, libraries and internet.

Abstract
Peacock is one of the most prominent animal motifs which can be seen as abstract or geometric shapes in kilims woven by nomadic tribes, especially Shahsavan and Qashqai. The diversity of this motif in hand-woven kilims of these two tribes led the author to introduce, classify and then analyze it from different viewpoints such as color and shape. This paper tries to answer the question: What are the most important similarities and dissimilarities of peacock motifs woven by Qashqai and Shahsavan tribes? And which tribe shows more ethnic diversity? The hypothesis suggests that peacocks woven by Qashqai tribe enjoy more variety of form and color than those by Shahsavan tribe. The research method is field study (especially by finding of peacock motif) and library-based one, and this is of analytical-descriptive research. Two-heads peacocks of Shahsavan tribe which have been transferred to the kilims of Qashqai tribe and the Khamse Arab tribes such as Arab Jenni tribe via migration and other communications are seen as the most important findings of this study.

Abstract
Sharpness of the carpet design is one of the parameters affecting the visual appearance of the carpets. In this paper, some preparatory steps have been taken for measuring the sharpness of the carpet design. First, the influencing parameters on the sharpness of the carpet design have been analyzed and formulated, thus this formula can be used as a theoretical base for measuring the sharpness of the carpet design. Then, by simulation of the carpet design formation, the effect of distinctive steps of carpet product on the sharpness of the carpet design has been studied.

Abstract
Supply chain management is one of the subjects that much attention has been paid to it. Today competition of companies is not important anymore but supply chains are competing, so paying attention to supply chain is necessary and vital. Performance enablers of supply chain have been studied in a scattered manner; however these efforts are not comprehensive enough. In this paper these enablers are studied and classified. This paper has been conducted for handmade carpet supply chain. Handmade carpet is one of industries that has a good position in Iran, however the number of performed scientific researches in this field in not enough. This research has done in Kashan and exploratory factor analysis and second-order factor analysis have been employed. After exploratory factor analysis, enablers are classified into some groups, i.e. leadership and management, knowledge and information management, cooperation, ethic, relationship in supply chain, performance measurement, capacity management and strategy. Among these factors, leadership and management and cooperation are more important. Finally, we provide some recommendations to improve these factors.
