sarcheshmeh copper complex is one of the largest industrial-mining complexes in the world and is the largest copper producer in iran. despite this, a huge amount of so2 gas is produced and enters the environment in this complex. therefore, this study investigates the value of improvement in air quality and estimates the marginal willingness to pay curve. for this purpose, oohb dccv method has b...

We give a slope equality for fibered surfaces whose general fiber is smooth plane curve. As corollary, we prove strong Durfee-type inequality isolated hypersurface surface singularities, which implies Durfee's conjecture such singularities with non-negative topological Euler number of the exceptional set minimal resolution.

BACKGROUND Anatomical dead space is usually measured using the Fowler equal area method. Alternative methods include the Hatch, Cumming, and Bowes methods, in which first, second, and third order polynomials, respectively, fitted to an expired CO2 volume vs expired volume curve, intercept the x-axis at the anatomical dead space. This study assessed systematic errors and susceptibility to noise ...

To test competing models of age-related changes in brain functioning (capacity limitation, neural efficiency, compensatory reorganization, and dedifferentiation), young (n=40; mean age=25.1 years) and elderly (n=18; mean age=74.4 years) subjects performed a delayed item recognition task for visually presented letters with three set sizes (1, 3, or 6 letters) while being scanned with BOLD fMRI. ...

abstract this study investigates casual relationship between co2 emission and gross domestic product per capita in five different country groups, using cross- country data for the period 1960-2007. to achieve the purpose, the co- integration test and error correction models are applied. results confirm casual relationships between the two variables. a unilateral relationship between gdp and co2...

Phosphorus (P) contributes to eutrophication of surface waters and buffer strips may be implemented to reduce its transfer from agricultural sources to watercourses. This study was conducted to test the hypothesis that soil type and slope influence the retention of dissolved organic P and inorganic orthophosphate in agricultural runoff in 2-m-wide buffer strip soils. A solution, comprised of di...
