The paper introduces an approach to the ordering of dependence which is based on central regions. A d-variate probability distribution is described by a nested family of sets, called central regions. Those regions are affine equivariant, compact and star-shaped and concentrate about a properly defined center. They can be seen as level sets of a depth function. Special cases are Mahalanobis, zon...

One of the main architectural characteristics in the central area of Iran is the relation between life and climatic conditions; e.g., the four-seasonal house which is a typical kind of the central-yard house. As the climate of Isfahan is more pleasant than other desert regions in the central part of Iran, wind towers are replaced with skylights to ventilate the pool area of hoze-khane. So far, ...

Background: Sarcocystosis is one of the most widespread parasitic diseases in cattle caused by three main species of Sarcocystis genus. The major aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of Sarcocystis spp. in meat produced in Yazd, central Iran with special reference to species identification, using Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP).  ...

Estimating evapotranspiration (ET), the main water output flux within basins, is an important step in assessing hydrological changes and availability. However, direct measurements of ET are challenging, especially for large regions. Global products now provide gridded estimates at different temporal resolution, each with its own method estimating based on various data sources. This study invest...
