land use optimization using linear programing is a method in watershed management for access to production sustainability and decreasing of soil erosion. the sensitivity analysis of the model can with investigation of results influence form changes in input parameters, lead to decrease the uncertainty in decision-making of management programs. so in this research, linear programming model using...

desertification is specific phenomenon of arid, semi-arid, dry sub humid regions. this phenomenon has a high rate in developing countries such as iran. the main objective of this research was calibration of imdpa model in abuzeidabad (kashan) region with emphasis on land criteria. imdpa model, introduced by iranian researchers to assess desertification intensity in iran. before application, the...

river bank erosion can result in considerable riparian land loss and the delivery of large volumes of sediment to reaches downstream. consequently, the ability to predict the stability and failure geometry of eroding river banks is an important prerequisite for es-timating the rate of bank erosion and sediment yield associated with bank erosion. in this paper a new model capable of analyzing th...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Histotripsy is a pulsed focused ultrasound technology in which initiation and control of acoustic cavitation allow for precise mechanical fractionation of tissues. The present study examines the feasibility of using histotripsy for erosion of urinary calculi. MATERIALS AND METHODS Histotripsy treatment was delivered from a 750-kHz transducer in the form of 5-cycle acous...

We introduce a new model for rill erosion. We start with a network similar to that in the Discrete Web** and instantiate a dynamics which makes the process highly non-Markovian. The behavior of nodes in the streams is similar to the behavior of Polya urns with time-dependent input. In this paper we use a combination of rigorous arguments and simulation results.

Wind erosion is a major environmental issue affecting land resources and socio-economic settings in Iran. This paper outlines a study undertaken to provide a new tool to manage wind erosion from physical and economic perspectives. The southern part of the Varamin Plain in south of Tehran is used as a case study. The focus of this study is on exploring the economic and physical impacts of 16 veg...

[1] Climate change indirectly alters the distribution of tectonic uplift at active orogens by modifying the action of surface processes, which in turn alters mountain topography. The impact of alpine glaciation on tectonic activity is explored here. The predictions of previous analytical, critical wedge models are compared with the output of a numerical model that explicitly couples rock uplift...

dust storms are known as hazardous problems in western part of iran. iraq is one of the main sources for dust storm arriving to the western part of iran. the radial basis function network model (rbfn) has been used to assess wind erosion hazards in the source area of dust storms over several western iranian cities. normalized difference salinity index (ndsi) was used to determine the changes in...

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...

aeolian landforms are very sensitive to wind erosion. afforestation of degraded sandy land soils is regarded the most effective strategy against wind erosion. the aim of this study is to estimate decreasing in wind erosion rate by afforestation of these landforms. in this research, geomorphological areas have been used as homogeneous units. research data are including scores of petrology, terra...
