The fine structure of the different zones in the adrenal cortex of the adult rat has been studied under the electron microscope. Four regions mainly differentiated by the mitochondrial morphology, the lipid droplets, and the structure of the ground cytoplasm were recognized. In the glomerular zone mitochondria are thin and elongated with an abundant matrix. The inner structure is characterized ...

Traditional statistical methods for seismic zonation require information from many subjects, such as regional geology and neotectonics, seismicity, stress field, damage analysis of historic earthquakes, geophysics and others. These subjects are weighted differently during statistics. In fact, the information from most of these subjects is more like fuzzy sets, ie, it is a sort of estimation rat...

The degree of hazard due to landslide in any region is difficult to assess manually. An automated system having capability to correlate causes contributing automated landslide hazard is expected to be an efficient alternative. The objective of this paper is to explain LHAZ (Landslide Hazard Automated Zonation) system, an automated system that has been developed to determine the intensity and ex...

tween Eurasia and Africa that result in a primary eastward-directed, low-velocity current flow along the mid-Cretaceous Eurasian, northern Tethys margin. This conclusion appears to be at odds with sedimentologic and paleontologic field evidence (2, 3) obtained from the Helvetic tectonic unit that is exposed in the northern Alps and represents the former northern Tethys margin in southern Europe...

more than 30% of iran's land is formed from mountainous areas. so each year, landslides cause damages to structures, residential areas and forests, creating sedimentation, muddy floods and finally deposit the sediments in reservoir dams. therefore, for preventing of this damages and expressing the sensitivity rate of hillslopes, landslide hazard zonation is considered in prone areas. the p...

• Plant community zonation and geomorphology changed along a coastal dune segment. Variation of biogeomorphic variables alongshore correlated with shoreline trends. Two distinct ecogeomorphic states have been identified in close proximity. Identified explained by long-term change rates. Sediment retention capacity local vegetation was low due to abiotic factors. Coastal dunes are complex landfo...
