the current study aims to investigate the effectiveness of consciousness training on reducing anxiety and depression of first and second female graders in high school. it used a quasi-experimental research method. moreover, it utilized cluster randomized sampling; hence, the high schools were randomly selected from the city of ilam. beck and zong anxiety questionnaires were administered among 1...

introduction: escherichia coli (e.coli) as a main cause of both nosocomial and community-acquired infections in humans have a relative potential to develop resistance. nowadays, most infections caused by esbl-producing e.coli (esblec) had mostly been described as nosocomial acquired or nursing home related. in this study, we employed e-test assay to detect antibiotic resistance of e.coli strain...

background: scaling and corrosion are the two most important indexes in water quality evaluation. pollutants are released in water due to corrosion of pipelines. the aim of this study is to assess the scale formation and corrosion of drinking water supplies in ilam city (iran). methods: this research is a descriptive and cross-sectional study which is based on the 20 drinking water sources in i...

the berriasian-valanginian fahliyan formation forms one of the giant reservoirs in the subsurface of the abadan plain, onshore iran. a detailed petrographical analysis of the available cores and thin sections revealed that the different diagenetic parameters influenced the reservoir quality of the fahliyan formation in this field. the fahliyan formation has been influenced by three diagenetic e...

In this research attempts were made to estimate the in-situ stresses acting on a hydrocarbon reservoir based on routine activities of acid injection in oil reservoir. It was found that the relation between the re-opening pressure of fracture and principal in-situ stresses can be estimated using rock mechanics equations for the circular underground cavities. An appropriate relation between the m...

reservoir characterization plays an important role in different parts of an industrial project. the results from a reservoir characterization study give insight into rock and fluid properties which can optimize the choice of drilling locations and reduce risk and uncertainty. delineating hydrocarbon bearing zones within a reservoir is the main objective of any seismic reservoir characterization...
