Nagy (1988) states that vocabulary is a prerequisite factor in comprehension. Drawing upon a reductionist approach and having in mind the prospects for material development, this study aimed at creating an English for Academic Purposes Word List (EAPWL). The corpus of this study was compiled from a corpus containing 6479 pages of texts, 2,081,678 million tokens (running words) and 63825 types (individual words), and 2615 word families from online resources. The created EAPWL included 636 word families, which accounted for 12%of the tokens in the EAPWL under study. The high word frequency and the wide text coverage of this word list confirm that this word list plays an important role in English for Academic Purpose texts and hence can be a justified resource for material development in the field. From these findings, it can be concluded that the EAPWL created in this study can serve as a guide for material developers and syllabus designers especially in designing course-books, in addition learning these words by learners can help them in better understanding of their texts, and development in their writing and reading comprehension.

Molten gold ownership transfer holds both historical and economic significance, serving as a crucial aspect of financial and wealth management practices. Traditional systems for transferring ownership of molten gold are often inefficient, susceptible to fraud, and lack transparency. In contrast, blockchain technology, with its decentralized, immutable, and transparent characteristics, presents a promising solution to these challenges. This paper explores the transformative potential of blockchain technology in revolutionizing the transfer of molten gold ownership. Utilizing blockchain for this purpose provides a secure and transparent method to track and verify ownership of gold assets. The proposed model facilitates the creation of digital tokens that represent physical gold, which can then be exchanged on a blockchain platform. By highlighting the transformative potential of blockchain in molten gold ownership transfer, this paper contributes to the ongoing discourse at the intersection of blockchain technology and asset management, paving the way for a more efficient, secure, transparent, and decentralized gold market.

In the second half of the fourth millennium BCE, a settlement was established at Shahr-i Sokhta in Sistan​​. Simultaneously, during this period, the Porto-Elamite horizon emerged in a large zone of the Near East, especially on the eastern part of the Iranian Plateau. During the first quarter of the third millennium BCE and the early urbanization phase, Shahr-i Sokhta, an early urban center, expanded largely, and many satellite sites developed around it. To obtain some information on the economic and cultural interactions between Shahr-i Sokhta and these peripheral settlements, Tepe Talebkhan has been chosen for excavations and further detailed studies. In the article, by using the materials found during the fifth season of excavations at Tepe Talebkhan, the focus was to shed more light on the main cultural characteristics of the site and its mutual ties with Shahr-i Sokhta. Ceramic data indicates that the settlement was founded at the end of Shahr-i Sokhta III period and continued through the entire posterior period i.e. Shahr-i Sokhta IV. The carbon 14 results also provided an absolute date for the settlement sequence between 2500 and 2300 BCE.
