Landslides are catastrophic geological risks that unexpected. This study aims to develop a Landslide Vulnerability Map of Barangay Fatima, Pantabangan, Nueva Ecija. Mapping has been developed mitigate the adverse effect landslide. interprets and integrate landslide factors; elevation, slope, rainfall, soil classification, land cover, proximity road fault lines generate vulnerability map. The ei...

the efficiency of three statistical models, ahp surface-weighted density bivariate (semi-quantitative models), stepwise multivariate regression and logistic multivariate regression models were compared in chehel-chai watershed in golestan province, iran. in current study the hazard map was prepared according to the top model of landslide hazard map. chehel-chai watershed is located as one of go...

Soil samples from 31 locations in the Una river spring catchment were subject to chemical extraction analyses. The data were presented as distribution maps of potentially toxic elements (Al, Cu, Mn, Pb and Zn) in the surface soil of the area. To evaluate the vulnerability of the immediate spring zone of the karst catchment, the vulnerability map was derived from the application of the PI method...

introduction one of the important problems that most of the metropolitans encounter with is natural disasters. earthquake is a main natural disaster. annually 27 sever earthquakes are happened by nineteen thousands killed and twenty six homeless. in recent report of united nations planning office in 2003, iran has had the first position in number of earthquakes with severity higher than 5.5 ric...

The European COST action 620 proposed a comprehensive approach to karst groundwater protection, comprising methods of intrinsic and specific vulnerability mapping, validation of vulnerability maps, hazard and risk mapping. This paper presents the first application of all components of this Pan-European Approach to the Sierra de Líbar, a karst hydrogeology system in Andalusia, Spain. The intrins...

Groundwater pollution due to anthropogenic activities is one of the major environmental problems in urban and industrial areas. The present study demonstrates the integrated approach with GIS and DRASTIC model to derive a groundwater vulnerability to pollution map. The model considers the seven hydrogeological factors [Depth to water table (D), net recharge (R), aquifer media (A), soil media (S...

drastic model has been used to map groundwater vulnerability to pollution in many areas. since this method is used in different places without any changes, it cannot consider the effects of pollution type and characteristics. therefore, the method needs to be calibrated and corrected for a specific aquifer and pollution. in the present research, the rates of drastic parameters have been correct...

Contamination of ground water is a major concern for citizens as well as local, state, and federal agencies that are involved with the management, quality and quantity of water and human health. However, the generation of vulnerability maps or delineations of vulnerable zones in a map for monitoring purposes are difficult since ground water contamination depends upon numerous, complex interacti...

INTRODUCTION Rotigaptide is a new anti-arrhythmic peptide, which has recently been found to increase junctional conductance and prevent ischemia-induced ventricular tachycardia. In this study, we attempted to investigate the effects and mechanisms of rotigaptide on the vulnerability to ventricular arrhythmias in rabbits with heart failure (HF). MATERIAL AND METHODS Chronic volume-pressure ove...

identification and analysis of farmers’ vulnerability associated with their risk aversion degree is one of the necessary requirements for planning and reducing impacts of drought in iran. so, this study was investigated three risk vulnerability parameters (economic, social and technical) among wheat farmers categorized in accordance with their risk aversion degree in the mashhad county (iran) b...
