The aim of this study is to investigate climate change impact on Karoon3 basin in future periods. For this purpose, the simulated precipitation of 10 AOGCM models, including BCM2.0, CGCM3T63, CNRMCM3, CSIROMK3.0, GFDLCM2.0, GISS-ER, HADCM3, INMCM3.0, IPSLCM4, MIROC3.2 MEDRES was used to simulate drought index. Monthly precipitation was calculated by inverse distance weighted method. Standard Pr...

the malmquist productivity index evaluates the productivity change of a decision making unit (dmu) between two time periods. in this current study, a method is proposed to compute the malmquist productivity index in several time periods (from the first to the last periods) in data envelopment analysis (dea) and then, the obtained malmquist productivity index is compared with malmquist productiv...

This brief discussion focuses on how events of the past and the present affect the future of pediatric drug regulation and, in my opinion, how the scientific accomplishments of these same periods will challenge the mode and the means of regulatory actions in the future. The era of drug therapy overlaps the era of pediatric drug regulation; the former can be arbitrarily divided into three period...
