BACKGROUND Several studies are available on organizational commitment of employees in different organizations. However, the organizational commitment and job involvement of the employees in the prehospital emergency medical system (PEMS) of Iran have largely been ignored. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the organizational commitment and job involvement of the employees of PEMS and ...

BACKGROUND Injury is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the world, and the home is one of the most common places for these types of injuries. OBJECTIVES This study is designed to investigate the epidemiology of home-related injuries in Kashan, Iran. PATIENTS AND METHODS This investigation is a retrospective cross-sectional study on existing data from the data bank of th...

Gisser and Sánchez (1980a) state the conditions under which welfare gains from policy intervention are negligible in aquifer management, when compared with non-regulation or “free market” outcomes. This is the so-called Gisser-Sánchez effect (GSE), which has been supported by the ensuing literature during recent decades. The GSE requires a number of assumptions, among which is the disregard for...

Head measurements at a single observation well during a cross-hole pumping test carry a great amount of information about aquifer heterogeneity other than the average property of the aquifer as implied in Theis analysis of aquifer test. In this commentary, we use simple examples and a probabilistic reasoning approach based on Darcy’s law to unravel this information, buried in the results of qua...

Introduction Guarani Aquifer System (SAG) is the formal denomination for a transboundary aquifer underlying four countries (Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay) in South America. Due to its strategic importance, a joint research project aiming for sustainable management and preservation of the aquifer was initiated by the four neighbour countries together. In this work, an overview of hydro...

Please cite this article in press as: Ayotte, J.D., trace elements at water-supply wells. Appl. Geo The effects of human-induced alteration of groundwater flow patterns on concentrations of naturallyoccurring trace elements were examined in five hydrologically distinct aquifer systems in the USA. Although naturally occurring, these trace elements can exceed concentrations that are considered ha...

The recession flow analysis of Brutsaert and Nieber [1977] extended by Troch et al. [1993] to estimate aquifer parameters (saturated hydraulic conductivity and mean aquifer depth) is examined by means of a numerical model. It is found to be reliable for the estimation of the catchment-scale saturated hydraulic conductivity and mean aquifer depth. Increasing the complexity of the synthetic water...

A case of myiasis due to Musca domestica describes in Pseudocerastes persicus for the first time. The snake was found in Bari Karafs, Kashan, Iran, with a lesion on its body. Fourteen live larvae of M. domestica removed from its wound. This is the first report of a new larval habitat of M. domestica.

Water quality conditions have been assessed in the Río Vélez coastal aquifer (Andalusia, South Spain: an area of important agricultural and touristic development). This shallow fluvio-deltaic aquifer consists of coarse detrital deposits, of Quaternary age, that extend over about 20 km, being subdivided in two sectors –fluvial and deltaicby a substratum elevation. The deltaic sector is highly vu...
