distribution of the genus chondrostoma in iran, which is mostly known from the caspian sea, tigris river, kor river and esfahan basins was mapped. the kura nase, chondrostoma cyri is reported from armenia, georgia and iran and it is found in the streams and rivers draining to the western coast of the caspian sea from the kuma river in the north southward to the kura and aras river basins in the...

In order to guard against the leakage of important data in the system, a new model of data protection is proposed in the paper, which is also targeted at the shortcomings in the existing data protection technology in the field of data leakage prevention. By taking advantage of TPM data protection technique as well as the combination of symmetric encryption and asymmetric encryption, a new data ...

The availability of hydrologic data is an important step for hydrological modeling and water resource management in the world. Unfortunately, the in situ observations with the right characteristics are very sparse globally, particularly in Africa. Understanding the climate variability of Africa and its prominent role as the heat engine of the global climate system is one of the key goals in cli...

Synaptic connections are known to change dynamically. High-frequency presynaptic inputs induce decrease of synaptic weights. This process is known as short-term synaptic depression. The synaptic depression controls a gain for presynaptic inputs. However, it remains a controversial issue what are functional roles of this gain control. We propose a new hypothesis that one of the functional roles ...

Peach is a highly corrosive fruit with a short shelf life (less than 7 days at room temperature)susceptible to diseases, pathogens and physical damage. The storage or marketable life ofhorticultural crops can be extended by various treatments applied to them after and/or beforeharvesting. Fruits are usually treated with a range of materials [(e.g. salicylic acid (SA)] to...

Ultra-low power (ULP) biomedical implants and sensor nodes typically require small memories of a few kb, while previous work on reliable subthreshold (sub-VT) memories targets several hundreds of kb. Standard-cell based memories (SCMs) are a straightforward approach to realize robust subVT storage arrays and fill the gap of missing sub-VT memory compilers. This paper presents an ultra-low-leaka...

A recent trend in cryptography is to protect data and computation against various side-channel attacks. Dziembowski and Faust (TCC 2012) have proposed a general way to protect arbitrary circuits against any continual leakage assuming that: (i) the memory is divided into the parts, which leaks independently (ii) the leakage in each observation is bounded (iii) the circuit has an access to a leak...

The paper analyzes the positive and negative aspects of various technological solutions for liquid brines used during development polymineral potash ore deposits considers problem determining choice optimal approach by considering geological, technical, environmental, financial factors. study issues utilization reduction components discharges in production fertilizers, simultaneous valuable los...

The need to address climate change has gained political momentum, and Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a technology that is seen as being feasible for the mitigation of carbon dioxide emissions. However, there is considerable uncertainty that is present in our understanding of the behavior of CO2 that is injected into the sub-surface. In this work, uncertainty analysis is performed using Mon...

JANUARY 2005 AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY | ountain snowpack in western North America is a key component of the hydrologic cycle, storing water from the winter (when most precipitation falls) and releasing it in spring and early summer, when economic, environmental, and recreational demands for water throughout the West are frequently greatest. In most river basins of the West, especially in...
