identifying the change trends in forms of land surface is one of the main topics in geomorphic system. in this view, we try to assess the stability level of geo systems, boundary changes, instability and prediction of surface forms and processes response. this paper tries to conduct a comparative analysis on the geomorphic equilibrium paradigms, critical thresholds, environmental and natural ha...

This study builds on Laufer and Hulstijn’s (2001) motivational-cognitive construct of task-induced involvement in learning vocabulary and addresses itself to its strong claim that the depth of processing is the overriding factor in learning words. The paper first re-examines the effect of processing load and then of task type on the initial learning and retention of words. To do so, 60 EFL lear...

Introduction: Among the environmental pollutions, noise is very important for its physiological  and psychological effects on human. Traffic noise is one of the most important pollutants and the  hospitals  are  one  of  the  critical  places  regarding  this  type  of  noise.  For  these  reasons,  in  the  summer  of  1382,  the  traffic  noise  of  Mashhad  main  streets  around  the  hospit...

Mining is an activity that involves the use of chemicals and results in unsustainable dangerous conditions for miners, their families, community surrounding ecosystem. This study was done to assess metallic contamination soils sediments Bétaré-Oya gold artisanal mine district, East-Cameroon. A total thirty (30) samples exploited soils, control were taken from mining sites Lom, Mbal Mali. The co...

Accurate estimation of the variability of heavy metals in river water and the hyporheic zone is crucial for pollution control and environmental management. The biotoxicities and potential ecological risks of heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd) in a solid-liquid two-phase system were estimated using the Geo-accumulation Index, Potential Ecological Risk Assessment and Quality Standard Index methods in ...

twenty water samples from a river system in southern caspian sea basin werecollected and analyzed for physicochemical parameters and metals (cu, zn, as, cd, pb, ni andmn). in order to evaluate the risk potential of metal pollution in river water, use of two indicesnamely heavy metal pollution index (hpi) and contamination index (cd) accompanied by clusteranalysis was taken in to consideration. ...

Upper Cretaceous sedimentary rocks are widely exposed around Trabzon, Giresun and Gümüşhane in the eastern Pontides. The mainly composed of sandstones marls, thicknesses these range from 170 to 400 m. This paper focused on Late regions identify concentrations, sources, deposition environment conditions certain heavy metal(loid)s (Zn, Pb, Cu, Ni, As, Co, Mo V). Enrichment factor (EF), geo-accumu...
