Worldmaking is a genre-bending ethnographic/theoretical analysis of labor and race-making in the US theater industry, grounded Kondo’s full participation as anthropologist, performance studies scholar, dramaturg playwright. The narrative trajectory toward what Kondo calls “reparative creativity,” inspired by Kleinian theory its appropriations queer color critique, grounds her work artists Anna ...

background: tuberculosis (tb) spread pattern is influenced by geographic and social factors. nowadays geographic information system (gis) is one of the most important epidemiological instrumentation identifying high-risk population groups and geographic areas of tb. the aim of this study was to determine the correlation between climate and geographic distribution of tb in khuzestan province usi...

One of the main resonator factors in watershed soil erosion is inappropriateland management including conversion of pasture land to dry-land farming.Unfortunately, the changes of Gara Su watershed usages have been very common.Thus, in order to understand the influence of land use on runoff rate and soil loss, soillosses were investigated and determined under both pasture and dry-land agricultur...

Supplemental irrigation under prolonged drought conditions has a key role in providing water for transpiration of rain-fed fig trees. The effect of different times and amounts of supplemental irrigation at different distances from the tree trunk on quantity and quality of Estahban rain-fed fig production was evaluated during two years. A randomized complete block design with four replications o...

Past experiences with ERS and Topex/Poseidon altimeter data have shown that rain can significantly alter the quality of altimeter measurements (dynamic heights, significant wave heights, wind speed) [1][2][3][4]. Among all the different atmospheric phenomena which can affect the altimeter measurement, rain is one of the less well understood and at present no reliable correction can be made for ...

The signal propagation at the frequencies above 10 GHz suffers from significant attenuation due to rain, which in case of point-to-multipoint systems is unlikely to be compensated for by available fade margin alone. For this reason and especially thanks to the non-uniform spatial distribution of the rain rate, it is suitable to utilize site diversity concept during planning of point-to-multipoi...
