different species of artemisia (asteraceae) have shown to exhibit antitumor activity. the aim of this study was to identify the antiproliferative effect of artemisia aucheri boiss (a.aucheri) from iran on cultured human cancer cells. aerial parts of artemisia aucheri boiss. were collected from chahar bagh region (2150 m altitude, sep. 2011),golestan province, iran.the dried powdered aerial part...

conservation and restoration of biodiversity is very important for degraded rangeland ecosystems. it is necessary to assess the potential of soil seed bank as a major source of species. in this study, the soil seed bank size and composition were compared between exclosure and grazed areas. this was done in chahar-bagh rangelands in golestan province. soil was sampled in exclosure and grazing fr...

evaluation soil erosion is an important matter to protecting it from destroying in future due to the excessive use of the inherent capacity of soil and also improper management. therefore, in this study land vulnerability related to water and wind erosion of abyek for crops and pasture land has been evaluated, using raizal model as one of the microleis sub-models. morphological and physical and...

the evaluation and control of the trains induced vibrations needs even more attention in the case of underground tracks which passes near to monuments and historical sites. the rail corrugations which occur due to the wheels’ impulse loads during the operation period of underground railway tracks, usually amplify the ground borne noise and vibration. in the current study, the mentioned phenomen...

there is a lack of accurate and correct information about erosion in iran. moreover, there is a big difference between measurements and estimations. sediment is also an important environmental problem which pollutes water physically and chemically and therefore, sediment problem is usually studied as environmental problems. estimation of sediment yield of drainage basins is important for preven...

The present research aims to explicate the tectonics of northwest Himalayas, Pakistan, based on integrated gravity, magnetic and earthquake data. raw gravity data were processed, seven isoanomaly maps prepared for qualitative interpretation, whereas a model was along selected profile quantitative interpretation. local have also been used identify various seismogenic layers in subsurface underst...
