GIS-based Multicriteria Decision Analysis (GIS-MCDA) provides a rich collection of techniques and procedures for landslide susceptibility mapping. In this study landslide susceptibility was evaluated by applying different analytical GIS techniques based on Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA) criteria. The OWA-MCDA is complemented by a Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) and a Dempster-Shafer Theory (DST)...

Halophiles are in all three domains of life: Archaea, Bacteria and Eucarya. Halophilic microorganisms in addition to form major part of life biodiversity can have many biotechnological applications. The objective of this research is isolation and identification of halophilic bacteria from Urmia Lake in Iran and the study of its bacterial biodiversity. After sampling of brines from Urmia Lake fr...

the electro-osmotic consolidation is a method to improve geotechnical properties of soft clayey soils. the feasibility of electro–osmotically induced consolidation can be examined through the soil coefficient of electro–osmotic permeability (ke) and the electro–osmotic coefficient of water transport (ki). using an electro-osmotic testing cell, ke and ki parameters were measured in urmia lake we...
