Remote Sensing (RS) offers efficient tools for drought monitoring, especially in countries with a lack of reliable and consistent in-situ multi-temporal datasets. In this study, novel RS-based Drought Index (RSDI) named Temperature-Vegetation-soil Moisture-Precipitation (TVMPDI) was proposed. To the best our knowledge, TVMPDI is first RSDI using four different indicators its formulation. then v...

 Population genetic structure of Vimba vimba persa was investigated using microsatellite markers from 40 regions along the Iranian coastline of the Southern Caspian Sea (Anzali lagoon and Havigh River in Gilan province, BabolRoud River in Mazandaran province and GorganRoud River in Golestan province). Genomic DNA from 121 specimens was extracted from fin tissue by the Phenol-Chlorophorm method ...

this article deals with a comparative analysis of phonological dissimilarities between two iranian dialects in the southern borders of the caspian sea, e.g. taleshi in gilan and kelardashti in mazandaran. the differences are classified and analyzed with an emphasis on the kelardasht’s rudbarak and talish’s alian dialects in two parts of vowel and consonant diversities.

This study reports chemical composition of the essential oils and in vitro antioxidant, antimicrobial and cytotoxic activity of the volatile fraction, extracted using simulations steam distillation-solvent extraction (SDE) method, and methanolic extract from the stems and young leaves of Pterocarya fraxinifolia from Gilan, west-north of Iran for the first time. The extraction yield of volatile ...

background: few studies have shown the limitation of the world health organization (who)/ international council for the control of iodine defi ciency (iccidd)-adopted thyroid gland volume references as universal normative values for thyroid gland volume. so we decided to measure thyroid gland volume by sonography in schoolchildren in rasht, gilan province, iran — rasht is a metropolitan city on...
