The 1990 Rudbar earthquake (Mw 7.3) broke along three right-stepping segments of the left-lateral fault, in western Alborz mountains (Iran), producing ?80 km surface rupture. Previously reported horizontal (?60 cm) field offsets were surprisingly low, and vertical (?95 unexpected, given relatively large moment release, shallow source depth, fault geometry, rake. We characterize displacement fro...

One of the main problems of rice cultivation and production is the lack of water resources, especially during periods of low rainfall which affect the vegetative growth rate and the amount of yield. In this study the effect of low water supply on the number of heading per hill, number of grain per hill, dry weight of vegetative tissues and panicle and 1000 grain weight in three new cultivars of...

This Online Appendix contains (i) additional results and discussion related to the notion of plausible priors, and (ii) proofs that have been omitted from the main text in the interest of brevity. In particular, it presents two constructions that deliver a continuum of behaviorally equivalent representations for arbitrary MEU and Bewley preferences. ∗An earlier draft of this paper was circulate...

background: as a major responsibility, health authorities must control rational prescription of drugs (rud). a way to analyze the regional status of drug prescription is the who’s recommended indices. the purpose of the study was to determine the status of drug prescriptions in pharmacies of healthcare centers under the authority of tehran university of medical sciences based on the who indices...

Current methods to estimate exposure of wildlife to pesticides from diet depend on a database of published residue concentrations on crop plants normalized to a standard application rate to obtain a residue from a unit dosage (RUD). This database, first published in the early 1970s, was updated in the 1990s. For each category of crops, maximum and mean residues are determined and used to extrap...

in this study impact of climate change on operation of gorgan rud basin's dams was evaluated. in this regard temperature and precipitation of the basin for 2011-2035 periods were downscaled using sdsm model and cgcm3-a2 outputs. results showed that annual temperature would increase 0.05°c and annual precipitation would decrease about 4percent. to predict streamflow of the gorgan rud basin ...
