The 1990 Rudbar earthquake (Mw 7.3) broke along three right-stepping segments of the left-lateral fault, in western Alborz mountains (Iran), producing ?80 km surface rupture. Previously reported horizontal (?60 cm) field offsets were surprisingly low, and vertical (?95 unexpected, given relatively large moment release, shallow source depth, fault geometry, rake. We characterize displacement fro...

In a parasitic survey of the native and introduced fishes in the Zayandehrud River, 5 Myxobolus spp. were found in the gills, fins and skin of examined fish specimens. They include M. varicorhini from fin and M. samgoricus from skin of Capoeta damascina, M. musajevi from gills of Capoeta capoeta gracilis, Myxobolus cristatus from Capoeta aculeata, and M. saidovi from Alburnus sp. Data on the lo...

administrative regulations for water flow decrease distribution efficiency and effect the economical operation of irrigation networks. complications in distribution systems and the decrease in availability of water require study of the hydraulic performance of existing flow control structures. control systems designed by neyrpic (zayandeh rud network) and usbr (doroodzan network) were investiga...

This Online Appendix contains (i) additional results and discussion related to the notion of plausible priors, and (ii) proofs that have been omitted from the main text in the interest of brevity. In particular, it presents two constructions that deliver a continuum of behaviorally equivalent representations for arbitrary MEU and Bewley preferences. ∗An earlier draft of this paper was circulate...

background: as a major responsibility, health authorities must control rational prescription of drugs (rud). a way to analyze the regional status of drug prescription is the who’s recommended indices. the purpose of the study was to determine the status of drug prescriptions in pharmacies of healthcare centers under the authority of tehran university of medical sciences based on the who indices...

Current methods to estimate exposure of wildlife to pesticides from diet depend on a database of published residue concentrations on crop plants normalized to a standard application rate to obtain a residue from a unit dosage (RUD). This database, first published in the early 1970s, was updated in the 1990s. For each category of crops, maximum and mean residues are determined and used to extrap...
