1. introduction wind is one of the important meteorological parameters which have an extensive application in environmental studies. the winds have various spatial and temporal scales regarding to their characteristics and structures. sistan wind as an outstanding low level flow in eastern iran is playing an important role to creation of local and regional climatic features. the sistan wind ini...

a wind farm is a collection of wind turbines built in an area to provide electricity. wind power is a renewable energy resource and an alternative to non-renewable fossil fuels. in this paper impact of wind farms in power system reliability is investigate and a new procedure for reliability assessment of wind farms in hl1 level is proposed. in proposed procedure, application of fuzzy – markov f...

this study was carried out to investigation the possibility of using triadimefon (trd) in order to decrease the adverse effects of salt stress on medicago plant. triadimefon is a member of triazol compounds which enhances stress tolerance through physiological processes. two cultivars of medicago sitiva including hamedani and yazdi were used in this study. plants were treated with 1, 2 and 4 mg...

the fact that water is the most important factor of life on earth is not a new concept. alteration and reduction in the amount of precipitation, population explosion and contamination of underground water pressurize governments severely to find solution for water resources. the air moisture is one of fresh water resources which has not been noticed and well exploited. in this study proper place...

Fossil Fuels are always considered as environmental pollutants. On the other hand, the political and economic situations highly affect the price of these fuels. Offshore wind and wave, as renewable energy sources, represent the better alternatives for electricity generation. Therefore, it is necessary that wind speeds effectively be estimated due to the absence of field measurements of the wind...

in the current research, wind energy potential at yazd synoptic stations, which contain wind data with 10 years statistic period and beyond, including yazd synoptic station (1976-2006), tabass (1987-2006), robate poshte badam (1992-2006), bafgh (1993-2006) and marvast (1997-2006), has been studied. wind data were obtained from the recorded data at yazd meteorology organization. the data were re...

salinity is among important soil stresses adversely affecting the process of nitrogen (n) fixation in leguminous plants in different parts of the world. it has been indicated that salinity can inhibit the early stages of nodulation process between bacterium and the host plant including the exchange of signal molecules (nod gene inducers). there has not been any research regarding the effects of...

abstract wind erosion of soils and suspended particles in iran is one of the serious environmental and agricultural problems which affect agricultural lands, water reservoirs, irrigation canals, drains and etc. therefore wind erosion control needs attention specially in arid and semi-arid regions. although in recent years, some polymeric materials have been used for improvement of structural st...
