it is definitely necessary to understand the concept and behavior of causation of life insurance policies and its determinants for insurance managers, regulators, and customers. for insurance managers, the profitability and liquidity of insurers can be increasingly influenced by the number of causation through costs, adverse selection, and cash surrender values. therefore, causation is a materi...

In order to protect soil and water resources should be identified erodible areas of watersheds, to be able to prevent land degradation and to control erosion in the form of soil conservation planning or watershed management. Therefore, the present study aimed to classification and delineation of susceptible areas to water erosion in the Hervi watershed using Hjulstrom curve, has been conducted....

Extended Abstract Introduction: Gully erosion is the most severe type of water erosion, which causes large damage in the watersheds. To determine the risk of this type of erosion, it is necessary to estimate its severity and specify the distribution of the risk of erosion in the watershed. One of the models used to estimate the gully erosion is REGEM model, but accurate estimation of erosion r...
