The development of agriculture and industry and the increase of population in countries with arid to semi-arid climates have led to more harvesting of groundwater resources and as a result land subsidence in different parts of the worlds. Decades of groundwater overexploitation in the Kashmar-Bardaskan plain in the north-east of Iran has resulted substantial land subsidence in this plain. The p...

the nervous system has an important and vital role in the human body, but unfortunately the repairment of damaged nervous tissue is very slowly. for a long time, the scientists have been involved in finding ways to speed up this process. radiation of low power he-ne laser has been suggested to as a way to improve this issue. in this study, 20 rats were divided randomly into control and case gro...

ABSTRACT The geological and tectonic background of the Sabalan area in NW Iran its present-day surface processes make it ideal for examining effects shaping Earth's crust. As a result intense distribution pre-Quaternary Quaternary structures (e.g., faults, joints folds), most drainage basins southern central parts study have developed under tectonic-dominated conditions, whereas erosional are g...

Abstract The Main Recent Fault (MRF) is a major active strike-slip fault system at the NE border of Arabian platform and Central Iran. Both geometry kinematics rather well known along its central part SE termination, while possible continuation to northwest ambiguous. Moreover, less regard has been paid relationships between this intracontinental other faults in NW Iran – Anatolia. This paper i...

Halimocnemis commixta is recorded as a new species for the flora of Iran from Pistacia vera woodland remnants in NE Iran. It grows on open salty soils with several typical halophytic plants. The new species record is illustrated and compared with the closely related species. It can be distinguished from H. gamocarpa by its clustered flowers and irregularly horned fruits and differs from H. pilo...

The mid-infrared ratio [Ne iii]15.6μm/[Ne ii]12.8μm is a strong diagnostic of the ionization state of emission line objects, due to its use of only strong neon emission lines only weakly affected by extinction. However this ratio is not available to ground-based telescopes as only a few spectroscopic windows are available in the MIR. To deal with this problem we aimed to verify if there exists ...
