Potential Analysis of Kavir & Desert Region and Makran Coasts In Order To Obtain Energy From the Sun Using Fuzzy Logic AHP

Mangrove-dominated muddy coasts have been allocated for developing livelihood models, particularly in countries. Uncontrolled allocation causes the mangrove forests to be vulnerable and even severely eroded. Restoration of eroded coastal areas has merely conservation-driven, leaving livelihood-oriented unprotected. As a consequence, mangrove-dominated not well-protected. How are configured towa...

Caspian Sea is the largest land locked water body in the world and has been characterized by significant relative sea-level changes since the Pliocene. The sea-level oscillations have strongly impacted the coastal areas depending on geomorphological setting. This study aims to investigate the impacts of sea level oscillations on low-lying coasts of the southeastern flank of the Caspian Sea...

The antioxidant activity, contents of total phenolics and flavonoids were quantified in the methanolic extracts of four Ulva species(U.clathrata,U.linza,U.flexuosa and U.intestinalis) grown at different parts of northern coasts of the Persian Gulf in south of Iran.The seaweeds were collected from Dayyer,Taheri and Northern Ouli coasts in April 2011. Methanolic extracts of the seaweeds were asse...

Persian Gulf and its coastal areas are the world's largest source of crude oil and related industries govern the region. One of the contaminants in this area is heavy metals associated with oil spill. More importantly, vanadium, nickel and zinc can be named in this regard. In this study, the contamination of northern coasts of Persian Gulf is selected to investigate for trace metals of V, Ni, C...

The present study reports on the main parasites found in mullet (Mugil platanus) and their prevalence throughout the year on Uruguayan coasts of the River Plate. The following parasites were found: Ichthyobodo necator, Trichodina sp., Scyphidia sp, Gyrodactylus sp., Dactylogyrus sp., Metamicrocotyla sp., Dicrogaster sp., Phagicola sp. and “Scolex polymorphus”. The viability of mullet (Mugil pla...

Cymodoce truncata (Leach, 1814), the type species of the genus, C. zanzibarensis (Stebbing, 1910) and C. richardsoniae (Nobili, 1906) are redescribed based on type specimens or topotypic material, and a neotype is designated for Cymodoce richardsoniae. A revised generic diagnosis and description is provided for the genus Cymodoce. Cymodoce delvarii sp. nov. is described from the subtidal zone o...

At 0058 GMT on 26 December 2004, a massive earthquake of magnitude 9.0 struck the coastal area off northern Sumatra in Indonesia. A number of after shocks also occurred, some of magnitude 7.1. These earthquakes triggered tsunamis that affected Indonesia and neighbouring countries in Asia (including India, Malaysia, Maldives, Sri Lanka, and Thailand) and the east coasts of Africa (including Soma...
