estimation of water demand in the different sectors, spatially in the urban areas is an important subject that it has considered by scientists and economic researchers’. water shortage and related challenges are most important problems of cities. this study was done according to stonegray function and consumer behavior in microeconomic theory. lineline, log line, loglog and some kinds of econom...

A variety of methods are commonly used to quantify animal home ranges using location data acquired with telemetry. High-volume location data from global positioning system (GPS) technology provide researchers the opportunity to identify various intensities of use within home ranges, typically quantified through utilization distributions (UDs). However, the wide range of variability evident with...

the role of education in improving quality of life of patients with chronic renal failure has been emphasized by many studies. this survey was performed to assess the effect of a confined program of home-care on the health status of patients who were receiving hemodialysis. in this research, 37 patients afflicted by chronic renal insufficiency were chosen and put into two categories randomly, 1...

\Ve developed a new technique to quantify home ranges by using coordinate-based data that were collected at srnall time intenals and entered into a Geographic Information System (GIS). We used this technique (digitized polygons [DP]) and 4 other established methods to estimate home range sizes of groups of black howler monkeys (Alorrana pigra). \Ve calculated the size of the area used by the st...

Numerous studies have detailed the home-range size of a variety species. However, few been able to determine underlying contribution species' traits (e.g. body mass and diet) versus external environment resource availability) on variation in size. We investigated importance availability marsupial, savanna glider (Petaurus ariel), tropical savannas northern Australia. A strong rainfall gradient ...

aim: evidence indicates that demographic factors such as age, gender, and mother's literacy are important predictors of fruit and vegetable consumption among adolescents. so, this study was conducted in order to survey the relation between socio-demographic factors and fruit and vegetable consumption among tehranian adolescents in 2013. methods: this cross-sectional study (descriptive-analytic)...

Bearded Vulture Gypaetus barbatus movements were investigated in southern Africa to determine whether an individual's age, sex or breeding status influenced its ranging behaviour and to provide the information required to guide conservation activities. Data from satellite transmitters fitted to 18 individuals of four age classes were used to determine range size and use. Because of the nature o...
