an abrupt global warming event has been recorded in many parts of the world in sediments of latest maastrichtian age between 65.45-65.10 ma. this warm event was documented here at a section near ziyarat-kola in central alborz based on analysis of planktonic foraminifera. an unusual abundance of normally large-size species such as globotruncana arca, globigerinelloides subcarinatus, pseudoguembe...

evaluation of range conditions and plant diversity circumstances can help to rangeland managers who establish their managerial approaches on the basis of ecological capabilities of rangeland ecosystems. hence, surveying of rangelands was done in four sites of northern alborz mt. including western alborz (masooleh site), west to middle alborz (javaherdeh site), central area (polour site), and ea...

surface oil seeps from alasht, lapur and jenesem share many compositional affinities including distributions and concentrations ofnormal alkanes, terpanes and steranes. these oils also show many similarities with that of jurassic sediments (shemshak group, klarizformation) systematically sampled from the galandrud coal mine. recent geochemical studies in this area indicated that theshemshak gro...

In this paper we introduce a new low power address bus encoding technique, and the resulting code, named ALBORZ. The ALBORZ code is constructed based on transition signaling the limited-weight codes and, with enhancements to make it adaptive and irredundant, results in up to 89% reduction in the instruction bus switching activity at the expense of a small area overhead.

BACKGROUND A two year seroepidemiological study was designed to find out the seroprevalence and risk factors of canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL) among stray and owned dogs in Tehran and Alborz Provinces of Iran. METHODS Blood samples of 602 dogs living in 11 counties of Tehran and Alborz Provinces were taken by venipuncture in 2008-2010. After separation of blood sera, anti-leishmanial ant...

tehran, iran’s capital with a population of more than 10 million is located in the southern foothills of the alborz collision zone. the alborz mountain belt of northern iran results from the collision of a piece of the gondwana with eurasia in the late triassic (sengor et al., 1988). the alborz active mountain range which consists of several sedimentary and volcanic layers, with east-west trend...

A sequence of Permian rocks crops out in Northwest of Khur in Central Alborz, North of Iran. This sequence consists of the Dorud (Asselian-Sakmarian), Ruteh (Artinskian-Murgabian) and Nesen (Early Djulfian) formations. The Ruteh and Nesen formations in Alborz Range were deposited in a shallow marine environment of the continental margin in the Paleo-Tethys. The Ruteh Formation with a thickness ...

this paper presents evidence on mesozoic inversion of basin bounding faults within the taleqan-gajereh-lar paleograben (tglp) in central alborz range. for this purpose, well documented stratigraphy data across the tglp together with the new acquired structural data on the geometry and kinematics of the paleograben basin bounding faults are utilized. the tglp has evolved through the early and mi...

the siyah bisheh area is located in central part of alborz zone, 40km south of amol, iran. rock units exposing in the area consists of sedimentary (carbonates, sandstone, siltstone), volcano- sedimentary (andesite to andesitic tuff, tuff), ignimbrite and basalt. when erosion and tectonics have rendered volcanic structures undetectable, remote sensing provides an invaluable tool for their ide...
