classification of occlusion is the first step in diagnosing the relationship between the upper and lower jaw's teeth. based on angle's classification, occlusion is divided into three categories: class i, class ii, and class iii. the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of occlusion categories, based on angle's classification, in adolescents with permanent dentition in tehran. this ...

Karun River is the largest and most watery river in Iran. This river is the longest river which located just inside Iran and Ahvaz Metropolis drinking water supplied from Karun River as well (fa.alalam.ir). Karun River as the main source of water treatment plants in Ahvaz, like most surface waters affected by various contaminants which caused changes in water quality of the river (www.aww.co.ir...

1. Compared with rivers in more humid, forested ecoregions of eastern and midwestern U.S.A., rivers in semi-arid grassland of the U.S. Great Plains tend to be relatively shallow, more variable in discharge, and characterised by high suspended sediment loads. Although critical life stages of fish in prairie rivers probably depend at least partially on zooplanktonic food, data on community and di...

Large-scale changes in land use are occurring in many tropical regions, with significant impacts on nitrogen and phosphorus biogeochemistry. In this study we examine the relationships between land use, anthropogenic nutrient inputs, and riverine nutrient exports in a major agricultural watershed of the Pacific coast of South America, the Guayas River basin of Ecuador. We present comprehensive n...

Original scientific paper Studies on the evolution of paleo-channels in coastal areas are important for submarine engineering construction and to reveal changes in the global paleoenvironment. Thus, to explore the characteristics of paleo-channels during the late Last Glaciation in the western South Yellow Sea, digital terrain analysis method and ArcGis river extraction function were employed, ...

A large amount of accurate river cross-section data is indispensable for predicting river stages. However, the measured river cross-section data are usually sparse in the transverse direction at each cross-section as well as in the longitudinal direction along the river channel. This study presents three algorithms to resample the river cross-section data points in both the transverse and longi...

Geomorphological research in the Fann Mountains of Pamir-Alay has indicated that subnival processes are occurring. Contemporary sediments indicate complex relationships occur between snow patches, waters, and ground. Underneath a semi-permanent patch, melts slowly from direction ground, resulting hollow is filled with produced by wash-down river terraces. The energy waters washes away displaces...

The temporary or permanent river blocking event caused by mass movement usually occurs on steep terrain. With the increase of mountain population and land use pressure construction water conservancy hydropower projects, events have gradually attracted people’s attention understanding. area in this study is affected strong tectonic activity Jinsha River suture zone rapid uplift Tibetan Plateau. ...

understanding the development of gully volumes requires the empirical relations between gully volume (v) and length (l) to be established in the field. so far, such v–l relations have been proposed for a limited number of gullies/environments and were especially developed for ephemeral gullies.in this study, v–l relations were established for ephemeral gullies in southern ilam. in order to take...

River systems are valuable to human beings; meanwhile, they are intensively influenced by human activities, especially urbanization. In this study, based on the data derived from topographic maps and remote sensing images, the temporal and spatial change of river system geomorphology in the Taihu Region over the past 50 years was investigated in conjunction with urbanization. Results demonstrat...
