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...

This research addresses the design and development of an incremental software architecture recovery and evaluation environment using data mining techniques. The environment is interactive and provides: pattern-based architectural recovery using a query language and approximate graph pattern matching; optimization clustering; partitioning; and view-based architectural design evaluation. These te...

Mining operations and mineral-related industries are closely and directly related with the environment. The negative impacts of mining industry on the environment, known as environmental risks, must be controlled and managed in a way to minimize harmful and destructive effects. Environmental risk assessment studies are a suitable step to identify, analyze and rank the risk factors. In this stud...

For the first time, an assemblage of cryptospores, which includes 10 species belonging to nine genera, from the Upper Ordovicianstrata, is being reported, in Iran. These cryptospore assemblages were recovered from the upper part of Ghelli Formation., from theeastern Alborz Mountain range. These peri-Gondwanan cryptospores have been classified based on their morphology (monad, truedyad, pseudody...
