the northwest iran comprises parts of two major biodiversity hotspots; irano-anatoli and caucasus. it is a mountainous transition realm between caucasus forest in the north, pontic forest of turkey in the west and central deserts of iranian plateau. this study was designed to determine rodent diversity in northwest iran. moreover, corridor and barrier features of the region were investigated, a...

In this paper we propose a conditional logic IBC to represent iterated belief revision. We define an iterated belief revision system by strengthening the postulates proposed by Darwiche and Pearl [3]. First, following the line of Darwiche and Pearl, we modify AGM postulates to make belief revision a function of epistemic states rather than of belief sets. Then we propose a set of postulates for...

In the last hundred years alone, there have occurred more than 2000 earthquakes larger 4 in northern and northwestern parts of Iran. Because Iran is placed heart Alpine-Himalayan collision zone, which one world’s greatest seismic locations, massive regularly struck country. Seismic hazard assessment a realistic helpful method for engineering seismology to prevent motions location order forecast...

Abstract The Main Recent Fault (MRF) is a major active strike-slip fault system at the NE border of Arabian platform and Central Iran. Both geometry kinematics rather well known along its central part SE termination, while possible continuation to northwest ambiguous. Moreover, less regard has been paid relationships between this intracontinental other faults in NW Iran – Anatolia. This paper i...

Breast cancer represents 27% of the cancers and 19% of the cancer deaths in female population. The aim of this study was to document the age pattern of the incidence of breast cancer in Iranian female population in the northwest region of the country. The study subjects were 1764 patients with breast cancer diagnosed/registered in the six university clinics between 1988 and 2008 in the northwes...

The Paleogene carbonate deposits of Pabdeh and Jahrum formations are widespread from the northwest (Dashte Zari area) to southwest Shahrekord region in High Zagros Mountains Iran record lateral upward transition open marine into shallow water environment. Formation shows a succession pelagic hemipelagic limestone, argillaceous chert. It consists planktonic wackestone, pellet-planktonic mudstone...

Abstract. Northwest of Iran, as a tectonically active region, has experienced numerous devastating earthquakes. That is why it so important to study the earth deformation in this area and provide more precise insights. So far, most researchers have had preference using invariant component strain rate tensor for investigating Earth's shape region. However, examine efficiency variant components g...
