Background: Knowing the pattern of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning in each region is vital for enhanced health planning. This study was designed to evaluate the epidemiologic pattern of unintentional acute CO poisoning in major cities of Fars province, southwest of Iran.  Methods: This one-year cross-sectional study was carried out on unintentional CO poisoning incidents in Fars province, Iran,...

white bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) is an important legume food crop in iran and many other countries. it is grown on 110248 hectares in iran, mostly in fars, lorestan, markazi, zanjan and chahar mahal-va-bakhtiari provinces. due to its high value in human nutrition and exportation, considering that most grown cultivars of iran are the runner type beans, with low marketability values and suscept...

background and objectives: making a reliable prediction of drought index status for the future is one of the major elements in a successful water resources management particularly under climate change processes, including increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration, temperature and fluctuations in rainfall. the present study aims at assessing drought trend under changing climate condit...

introduction today, climate change issue is one of the main challenges for scientists and due to the critical role of water in human life, the study of climate change impacts on severity and frequency of drought in each region seems to be indispensable (hulme et al., 1999). drought is usually occurred over a period of water shortage owing to less rainfall, high evapotranspiration and pumping a ...
