Subalpine ecosystems are highly fragile as compared to biological andenvironmental factors. Landslide is one of the ruinous upshots of this ecosystem. One of theimpressionable areas in the cause of natural factor is Masoleh watershed in western AlborzMt, (Iran). In order to landslide hazard zonation, landslide index and frequency ratio methodbased on twelve causative factors such as slope, slop...

Preparation of Enzyme SolutionsRabbit muscle glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase was prepared as described previously (1) and stored at 0” as the crystalline suspension. For use, the crystals were separated by centrifugation and dissolved in buffer. The resulting solution was dialyzed overnight against a flowing stream of buffer in order to remove the ammonium sulfate, equilibrated against...

A recent study has proposed that attentional window determines when the color singletons capture visual attention (Belopolsky, Zwaan, Theeuwes, & Kramer, 2007). The present study used the additional singleton paradigm of Theeuwes (1992) and showed that capture was abolished when the size of the attentional window was reduced by focusing on RSVP stream in the center of the screen. Narrowing of a...

We propose an analytical solution for the evolution of the spatial variability of wind-forced inertial energy in the presence of an oceanic mesoscale eddy field. The solution requires knowledge of only the stream function of the eddy field and the Rossby radii of the normal modes associated with the near-inertial oscillations. It also shows that, when the vorticity spectrum slope is shallower t...

Accelerated erosion in the form of landslides can be an undesirable consequence of clearcut logging on steep slopes. Forest managers need a method of predicting the risk of such erosion. Data collected after logging in a granitic area of northwestern California were used to develop a predictive equation. A linear discriminant function was developed that correctly classified almost 90% of the da...

Water loss can be minimized and conserve through constructing small storage dams for various irrigation purposes to support local livelihood. Geographic information system provides powerful techniques for many hydrological modeling and suitable dam site selection. The current study explored potential sites for small storage dams to meet agricultural requirements in district Malakand, Khyber Puk...

Little is known about how larvae disperse in deep ocean currents despite how critical estimates of population connectivity are for ecology, evolution and conservation. Estimates of connectivity can provide important insights about the mechanisms that shape patterns of genetic variation. Strong population genetic divergence above and below about 3000 m has been documented for multiple protobranc...
