abstract this research evaluates climate change effects on drought severity in the region of gharesou, iran. the standardized precipitation index (spi) has been used for estimation of drought severity. a geographical information system is applied for calculating the mean areal precipitation time series from 11 meteorological stations, in and out of the area for the hydrological period jan 1971-...

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) is a major intestinal pathogen of both humans and animals. Salmonella pathogenicity island 1 (SPI-1)-encoded virulence genes are required for S. Typhimurium invasion. While oxygen (O2) limitation is an important signal for SPI-1 induction under host conditions, how the signal is received and integrated to the central SPI-1 regulatory syst...

drought is the one of the repeating phenomenon in all areas with high rainfall and low rainfall climates and is known as a natural disaster. iran is one of the countries those involved with this phenomenon in different parts of it especially in river basins. tehran province due to its importance in terms of social and political faced with growing population that it would contributes to the redu...

Current methods for climate change assessment ignore the significant differences in uncertainty model projections of two key constituents drought, precipitation, and evapotranspiration. We present here a new basis assessing future drought using simulations that addresses this limitation. The method estimates Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) two-stage process. first sta...

Assessment of spatiotemporal variations drought is an efficient method for implementing mitigation strategies and reducing its negative impacts. This study aimed to assess the pattern short- long-term droughts area with different climates. Therefore, 31 stations located in Iran were selected Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) series timescales 3, 6, 12 months computed during 1951-2016 perio...

Software Process Improvement (SPI) is the modification of current software process methods in many software development organizations. It is the key of the continuous process improvement. In this paper, we introduce Software Process Improvement (SPI) and Quality Function Deployment (QFD); the SPI framework based on CMMI contains two portions: 1) SPI framework for CMMI staged model based on QFD ...

drought detecting is a necessary aspect of drought risk management. it is generally performed usingdifferent drought indices that are effectively continuous functions of rainfall and other hydro- meteorologicalvariables. a number of drought indices have been introduced and used in various countries to date. in thecurrent research, four meteorological drought indices including the standardized p...
