Halophiles are in all three domains of life: Archaea, Bacteria and Eucarya. Halophilic microorganisms in addition to form major part of life biodiversity can have many biotechnological applications. The objective of this research is isolation and identification of halophilic bacteria from Urmia Lake in Iran and the study of its bacterial biodiversity. After sampling of brines from Urmia Lake fr...

Precise forecasting of streamflow is crucial for the proper supervision water resources. The purpose present investigation to predict successive-station using Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) model and quantify impact input information (i.e., precipitation) uncertainty on GRU model’s prediction Generalized Likelihood Uncertainty Estimation (GLUE) computation. Zarrineh River basin in Lake Urmia, Iran,...

One common hypothesis is that wind can affect concentrations of nutrients (i.e., nitrogen and phosphorus) and chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) in shallow lakes. However, the tests of this hypothesis have yet to be conclusive in existing literature. The objective of this study was to use long-term data to examine how wind direction and wind speed affect the spatiotemporal variations of total nitrogen (TN),...
