It is so important to know about ecological characteristics of trees of a stand, in forest management. The first step to achieve this knowledge is to recognize the spatial pattern of trees. Therefore, regarding the enviro-economic  importance of F. orientalis in hyrcanian forests, this study checked spatial pattern of these trees. In order to do this research, 5 one-hectare plots with homogeneo...

It is so important to apply suitable methods to have a reliable estimation of the spatial distribution of trees. This research was aimed to determine and evaluate the spatial pattern of five species by distance- and density-based indices (Quercus brantii, Acer moncepesulanum, Crataegus aronia, Pistacia atlantica & Amygdalus lycioides) in the Kalkhani Forest in Koudasht Lorestan province, Iran. ...

Background and purpose: Leptospirosis is one of the most common zoonotic diseases in the world. Some public health problems and diseases are directly associated with geographic context of places, therefore, geographic information system (GIS) could be of great benefit in management of such issues and planning to control the spread of diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the spatia...

Background and Aim: Tapering with herbal remedies may decrease the time for soft tissue injury recovery. In the present study, we investigated the effect of ethanolic extract of Nigella Sativa (NS) consumption during the taper period on hypoxia-inducible factor-1α and exercise-induced bronchial changes. Methods: A total of 60 male Wistar rats (five weeks old) were randomized to one of two group...

This study aimed to investigate the spatial patterns of Acanthophyllum microcephalum Boiss, Nepeta glomerulosa Boiss and Hertia angustifolia and evaluate the effects of study scale on spatial patterns of three range plant species in Ghale-Gharak research-station located in Shahr-e-Kord. 40 points with a distance of five meters from each other were selected for sampling of vegetation along four ...

Introduction Temperature is one of the important elements of weather, resulting in part from solar energy absorbed by the effects of the Earth's surface and is converted to thermal energy. Maximum temperatures in the hot period of the year, especially in the hours after the city, should be given more attention. Analyzing the maximum temperature can also be normal evaluation mechanism to eval...

Many scholars believe that social modernity in Iran has been started far earlier than era of Reza Shah Pahlavi with its up-down modernization project and it is argued that there has been an innate social process of modernity gradually developed since Qajar period. So it can be questioned that which one of the two cultural models of Modernity and Tradition has been dominating Qajar artifacts a...
