BACKGROUND High blood pressure (BP) is now an important public health problem in non-industrialised countries. The limited evidence suggests ethnic inequalities in BP in adults in some non-industrialised countries. However, it is unclear whether these ethnic inequalities in BP patterns in adults reflect on adolescents. Hence, we assessed ethnic differences in BP, and the association of BP with ...

â  lake urmia, the third hyper-saline lake in the world and because of its climatic, economic, social and ecological/environmental importance is a populated region in iran. recently, severe drought periods and low water levels are causing problems in this lake. therefore, it is urgent and desirable to evaluate urmia water level fluctuations in a scientific ways. urmia lake water level the same ...

background: urmia lake, the second largest hyper-saline lake of the world, has experienced lack of water and other environmental issues in recent years. now, there is a danger of the lake drying out, which will affect the region and its inhabitants. this study aimed to present a model which can relate the water level of the lake to effective factors. methods: parameters that influence water lev...

the zerebar lake is a shallow freshwater lake located in the northwestern iran. the lake is surrounded by three human activities: agriculture, tourism and dam. the present study aimed to investigate (1) which human activity has the greatest impact on eutrophication of the zerebar lake (2) if phytoplankton communities, as the indicator, are correlated with the human activities. water samples wer...

A star's obliquity with respect to its planetary system can provide us insight into the system's formation and evolution, as well hinting at presence of additional objects in system. However, M dwarfs, which are most promising targets for atmospheric follow-up, underrepresented terms characterization surveys due challenges associated making precise measurements. In this paper, we use extreme-pr...
