based on, historical seismicity, position of 19-century instrumental epicenters, fault zones, relation of seismicity with active faults, and structural geology, statistics of earthquake activites, model studies for estimation of acceleration, and other information of intensities of iranian earthquakes, and for simplicity in the usage, the country is divided into two intensity provinces. in the ...

successful modeling of hydro-environmental processes widely relies on quantity and quality of accessible data and noisy data might effect on the functioning of the modeling. on the other hand in training phase of any artificial intelligence (ai) based model, each training data set is usually a limited sample of possible patterns of the process and hence, might not show the behavior of whole pop...

p. vivax malaria with suspected long incubation have been frequently observed mostly in the northwest part of iran in the course of malaria control and malaria eradication operations. a sero-epidemiological study of such cases which present the first symptom in early spring, before anopheles activities season, was carried out in 92 selected villages with a population of 38,726 in two near areas...

Abstract Lake Urmia has experienced climate change over the last decades, dramatically reducing water level. This study applies Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) to evaluate runoff management strategies under different scenarios in Zarrineh River Basin. We examined two strategies: projected based on business-as-usual (BAU) trend Changes Cropping Pattern (CCP). The variables were downscaled ...

In the current work by using statistical methods and available software, the wind energy assessment of prone regions for installation of wind turbines in, Qorveh, has been investigated. Information was obtained from weather stations of Baneh, Bijar, Zarina, Saqez, Sanandaj, Qorveh, and Marivan. The monthly average and maximum of wind speed were investigated between the years 2000-2010 and the r...

Iron ore deposit Bijar area is located in east north in Kordestan province based of field observation, ore minerals are magnetite, magnetite-martitite and magnetite-pyrite. No. 922 points on the 16 profiles were collected over about 7500 meters in the area. Magnetometers treatment of advanced devices and new GSM-19T is made in Canada. The data were corrected and the magnetic field intensity map...

Exposure to inorganic arsenic mainly occurs via drinking water, however because of potential changing of water sources during time, there is not consensus over the best route for assessment of past exposures to arsenic. At present study, we compared three potential sources of data in this regard. Thirty nine human hair samples were taken from persons residing in three villages of Bijar city in ...

Situated in the Talvar valley of the Bijar County, Tepe Gheshlagh is an archaeological site with a sequence spanning the Chalcolithic through to the Bronze Age. Two seasons of salvage excavations have covered the site as it will be submerged as part of the intended lake of the Talvar Dam. Results from the excavations show evidence of long-lasting Chalcolithic (Dalma) settlements at the site. Da...
