our main objective in the present study was to assess the spatial variation of chemical and physical water properties. prior to the design of groundwater quality monitoring networks, it is essential to investigate the spatial structure of the groundwater quality variables. a case study is presented which used ground water quality observations from groundwater domestic wells in the dameghan, ira...

Introduction: Cognitive impairment is commonly associated with pain. The modulatory role of orexin 1 receptor (OX1R) in pain pathways as well as learning and memory processes is reported in several studies. The current study was designed to investigate the possible role of CA1-hippocampal OX1R on spatial learning and memory of rats following capsaicin-induced orofacial pain. Methods: Orofacial...

OBSTETRIC shock is one of the most serious of the accidents associated with childbirth. Puerperal sepsis is the only condition responsible for a larger proportion of maternal deaths. Out of 141 consecutive deaths occurring in the Belfast Maternity Hospital, and the Royal Maternity Hospital, Belfast, during the ten years, 1927-36, twenty-three, i.e., 16.3 per cent., were due to obstetric shock. ...

introduction in 1950s, only 30% of the world's population lived in urban areas. by 2000, that proportion increasedup to 47%, and by 2050 the estimated number will be around 72%. urban sprawl, an undesirable type of urban growth, is one of the major concerns ofthe city planners and administrators. understanding urban patterns, dynamic processes, and their relationships is a primary objectiv...

introduction: under the principles of international law, no state has the right to use or permit the use of its territory in such a manner as to cause damage to the environment of other states. spatial econometrics provides a powerful tool to assess the influence of the pollution of neighboring countries on a country's pollution level. spatial spillover effects play a significant role in a...
