Construction of a dam in the upstream of Tajan basin, as one of the human activities in order to provide drinking water, hydropower, agriculture, flood control or other purposes, can be effective on other sectors such as water resources. The purpose of this study is investigating the impact of Rajaei dam on groundwater resources in Sari-Neka plain during 26 years period (1985-2011) using geosta...

During the past few decades, the southern part of the Caspian Sea has more frequently experienced extreme climatic events such as drought and flood. Trend analysis of hydro-climatic variables was conducted using non-parametric Mann-Kendall test and regression test for Neka basin in the north of Iran.       Trends of precipitation and stream flow characteristics including maximum flow, mean flow...

Background and purpose: Considerable increase on the use of electronic devices increased the rate of public occupational exposure to extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields. Assessment of exposure to these fields is highly important due to potential health hazards. This study aimed at investigating the magnetic flux emission from extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields around powe...

The research method was mixed (qualitative - quantitative), in qualitative part grounded theory was used and descriptive-survey method was used in quantitative part. participants in the qualitative section included all those responsible the plan, specialists and experts in ...

  The research design of elimination trail has performed in the form of randomized completely blocks design with 3 replications and 8 treatments ( species of needleleaves) in Kohsarkande forests of Neka, Mazandaran(North of Iran). For investigation of the plant biodiversity the treatments of needleleaves in this elimination trail, the aforestation of hard woods(Maple) and the bare area were sel...

In order to evaluate the capability of ETM+ remotely- sensed data to provide "Forest- shrub land- Rangeland" cover type map in areas near the timberline of northern forests of Iran, the data was analyzed in a portion of nearly 790 ha located in Neka- Zalemroud region. First, ortho-rectification process was implemented to correct the geometric errors of the image, which yielded 0/68 and 0/69 pix...

Background and purpose: Clinical and radiological manifestations of Pulumonary tuberculosis are well known. However, it appears there is an increasing rate of unusual radiological patterns in immuno-competent adults, with smear positive pulmonary tuberculosis (based on our experience). The aim of this study was to analyze chest X-ray (CXR) findings and clinical patterns among immuno-competent m...

Portland cement could be produced by heating the raw materials (clay, limestone) about 1500°C which clinker will be formed. Geochemical and mineralogical studies of clinker, Portland cement, cement kiln dust and cement mill dust have been carried out by optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction and X-ray florescence. In phase system diagram (CaO-Al2O3-SiO2), chemical components of clinker cement oc...
