Cryospheric data for model validations: requirements and status

A review of the status and development requirements for cage Aquaculture in Iran and the world

In recent years, cage aquaculture has been introduced as modern technology in the world. Although the use of cages for fish’s holding and transporting for short periods can return two centuries ago in Asian, commercial cage aquaculture was pioneered in Norway in the 1970s and 1980s. Today, due to population growth, climate change and more attention to the productivity of water use in the aquacu...

Open Access Data in Polar and Cryospheric Remote Sensing

This paper aims to introduce the main types and sources of remotely sensed data that are freely available and have cryospheric applications. We describe aerial and satellite photography, satellite-borne visible, near-infrared and thermal infrared sensors, synthetic aperture radar, passive microwave imagers and active microwave scatterometers. We consider the availability and practical utility o...

NIOC’s requirements for data processing and interpretation in challenging geological environment

The time for easy oil discovery and production for National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) is over. This means that the oil is no longer discovered in structurally simple, i.e., almost flat environments like south of Khuzestan province (south west of Iran). This comes along with the fact that Iran’s biggest oil reservoirs are in this area, and they are passing half of their life cycle. These giant ...

Synthetic Population Generation: A Heuristic Data-Fitting Approach and Validations

A suitable data model for HIV infection and epidemic detection

Background: In recent years, there has been an increase in the amount and variety of data generated in the field of healthcare, (e.g., data related to the prevalence of contagious diseases in the society). Various patterns of individuals’ relationships in the society make the analysis of the network a complex, highly important process in detecting and preventing the incidence of diseases....
