This paper investigates the factors that made international co-authorship between scientists in Iran and elsewhere possible. A questionnaire was sent out to Iranian scientists in fields of physics, chemistry, and biology who had co-authored an internationally published journal article during 2003. The main foreign co-author in each of the articles was identified and questions regarding this co-...

Due to importance of wheat as the most popular food, in this data article, we determined the accumulation of heavy metal levels including Cd, Co, and Cu in wheat grains in Dashtestan county, Iran. The concentration levels of heavy metals in wheat grains cultured were determined by Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (FAAS).

Abstract Regarding disadvantages of fossil fuels, renewables like geothermals can be an eco-friendly source energy. In Iran, the availability fuels and poor policies surrounding subsidies (ranked as first in giving subsidies) caused high energy consumption (1.75 times higher than global average). Energy is mainly provided by that leads to CO 2 emission. This study evaluates trend potentials mor...

This paper introduces the concept of a dynamic key infrastructure for Grid. It utilises the properties of Identity-based Cryptography (IBC) to simplify key management techniques used in current Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) settings for Grid. This approach can offer greater simplicity, flexibility, and enhanced computation trade-offs.

A standard survey of soil salinity in Iran has produced a classified soil salinity map and a data set of about 600 electrical conductivity (EC) measurements of the saturated paste extract determined at three depth intervals (050cm, 50-100cm and 100-150cm). However, since the EC values ranged from 1 to 109 mS/cm, a more detailed quantitative evaluation was desired. The study area covers about 45...
