achieving the self-sufficiency in producing agricultural crops and decreasing the pressure on the available water resources need determining the fertile places for cultivation based on the suitable evaluating indices. in this research, the prioritization of different township in sistan and blouchestan province for onion cultivation, as one of the most important production in the province, was c...

Topological indices have been used to modeling biological and chemical properties of molecules in quantitive structure property relationship studies and quantitive structure activity studies. All the degree based topological indices have been defined via classical degree concept. In this paper we define a novel degree concept for a vertex of a simple connected graph: S degree. And also we defin...

In spite of a high prevalence of vitamin D inadequacy in pregnant women and neonates, relationships among vitamin D status (25(OH)D), parathyroid hormone (PTH), bone specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP), and whole body bone mineral content (WBBMC) in the newborn are poorly characterized. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationships between maternal and cord 25(OH)D, PTH...

desertification process as a great problem affects most of the countries in the world specially developing countries. this process has a high rate in arid and semi-arid countries such as iran. the main objective of this research was to investigate land degradation status and desertification mapping of kashan area. different studies have been carried out in the world in order to assess desertifi...

drought monitoring is a fundamental component of drought risk management. it is normally performed using various drought indices that are effectively continuous functions of rainfall and other hydrometeorological variables. in many instances, drought indices are used for monitoring purposes. geostatistical methods allow the interpolation of spatially referenced data and the prediction of values...
