Objective: The aim of this study is to provide a management plan for the Sykan watershed of Darre shahr city located in Ilam province using GIS in land use planning. Methods: For land using of Sykan watershed of Ilam province with about 9 hectares area, map of classes, elevation, percent slope, geographical aspects, soil characteristics, vegetation density and the final map units were combined ...

Background: Epidemiological evidence suggests that fine particulate air pollution, particularly particles less than 10 microns in diameter (PM10) exposure adversely affects pregnancy outcomes and usually aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene bound to fine particles. We evaluated the impacts of PM10 and benzene on spontaneous abortion of first trimester of pregnancy in Tehran. Materials and Meth...

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) micro and nano architectures have been intensively studied in 15 the past years because of many varied applications in environmental, energy conversion, and 16 storage fields, such as heterogeneous catalysis, dye-sensitized solar cells, lithium/sodium ion 17 batteries, lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries, and bio-nanotechnology, etc. Especially the surface and 18 interface s...

Niger Delta environmental degradation is known for oil spills and their outcomes. However, the issue not isolated from region’s other dynamics as part of governance. The complex context should be analysed in two spheres. At micro-regional level, there are crimes Delta. macro-regional transnational relatively stable relations among states West Africa. picture requires governance investigation, w...

abstract:the general perception of islamic finance is that it prohibits the practice of paying and receiving interest, but islamicfinance is much broader than interest rate prohibition. islamic financial services can be viewed as a set of financialservices which are diversified based on the needs of society.since in the iranian economy most of the enterprises are micro and/or small, micro finan...

a micro-channel heat exchanger reactor with different micro-baffle shapes has been studied numerically. governing equations were solved base on the finite volume method with fluent software. in upper section, oxidation reaction of methanol was occurred and in lower section, steam reforming of methanol was done. two sections were separated with solid part which played as heat exchanger and trans...

Building on prior studies in environmental behaviour and employee micro level CSR, this paper examines the role of generativity, encompassing thoughts towards the well-being of future generations and contribution to future society, and specific environmental attitudes on environmental behaviour in the home and workplace. The paper examines the relationships between these variables, including as...

BACKGROUND Micro bubbles were initially introduced as contrast agents for ultrasound examinations as they are able to modify the signal-to-noise ratio in imaging, thus improving the assessment of clinical information on human tissue. Recent developments have demonstrated the feasibility of using these bubbles as drug carriers in localized delivery. In micro fluidics devices for generation of mi...

The interrelationship between microtubules and the actin cytoskeleton in mechanoregulation of integrin-mediated adhesions is poorly understood. Here, we show that uncoupling of microtubules from integrin adhesions by depletion or displacement of KANK family proteins connecting the adhesion protein talin with microtubule tips led to disruption of podosomes and augmentation of focal adhesions, si...
