introduction the khoshk river is originated from golestan and ghalat highlands and flow in a northwest and southeast direction. after traversing a short distance it covers golestan and dukohak from the right and the ghasr ghomshe tributary from the left. then, in a direct cross from the middle of shiraz metro police, it will divide it into half in south and east and at the end it will pour into...

I. INTRODUCTION We humans tend to worry first about our own happiness, then about our families, then about our communities. In times of great stress, such as war or natural disaster, we may focus temporarily on our country but we rarely think about Earth as a whole or the human species as a whole. This narrow perspective, perhaps best exemplified by the American consumer, has led to the environ...

The female and male of Dasybasis (Agelanius) cortesi, new species, is described and illustrated from specimens collected in the National Reserve of Río Clarillo, Cordillera Province, Central Chile. Its relationships to other Dasybasis species are discussed.

Karun River is the largest and most watery river in Iran. This river is the longest river which located just inside Iran and Ahvaz Metropolis drinking water supplied from Karun River as well (fa.alalam.ir). Karun River as the main source of water treatment plants in Ahvaz, like most surface waters affected by various contaminants which caused changes in water quality of the river (www.aww.co.ir...

to assess seismic hazard, it is essential to estimate the potential seismicity, particularly estimation of size of the largest earthquake that can be identified by a distinct fault or earthquake source. one of the methods applied to estimate magnitude of earthquake is use of empirical relationships between magnitude and fault parameters. fault parameters for the earthquakes from early instrumen...

Surveillance and genetic typing of field isolates of a fish rhabdovirus, infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV), has identified four dominant viral genotypes that were involved in serial viral emergence and displacement events in steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in western North America. To investigate drivers of these landscape-scale events, IHNV isolates designated 007, 111, 110,...

the problem of navigation among movable obstacles (namo) is to find a collision free path for a robot while the robot is able to manipulate and transfer some objects (if possible or needed) to clear its path toward the goal. namo is a np-complete problem and is in a class of motion planning problems that have dynamic environments. in this domain, an optimal plan for the robot can be defined wit...

for calculation of the displacements of points in micro geodesy networks, it is essential to discover stable and unstable points. without knowing stable points, calculated displacements are due to datum deficiency. in this case, calculated displacements are not valid. there are two methods to discover stable and unstable points: a-congruency robust method b- l1 norm minimization in this study t...

In a prospective study a comparison was made between a control group (a group of patients with displaced vertebrae but without organic complaints) and different groups of patients who were not only characterised by displaced vertebrae but also by various organ dysfunctions. Six groups of patients were differentiated: patients with gastric complaints, intestinal complaints, heart conditions, ast...
