in this study, the quaternary deformation and tectonic activity of saeedabad-chai drainage basin, are assessed using geomorphic approach. this drainage basin is located in northern slope of sahand mountain. north tabriz fault (ntf), is passing from the saeedabad-chai basin. variation in the morphology of mountain front provied the basis for geomorphic assessment of tectonic activity. therefore,...

rijab valley, located in 180 km west of kermanshah, is considered to be one of the tourists centers of kermanshah because of having various landscapes and monuments. however, the results of one of the field studies of 157 tourist subjects show that the majority of the tourists do not know much about all the attractions of the valley. in a way that about 31.2% of the tourists were not aware of t...

A molecule containing a nitroamine redox center (2'-amino-4-ethynylphenyl-4'-ethynylphenyl-5'-nitro-1-benzenethiol) was used in the active self-assembled monolayer in an electronic device. Current-voltage measurements of the device exhibited negative differential resistance and an on-off peak-to-valley ratio in excess of 1000:1.

The Remote Sensing Group at the University of Arizona has used ground-based test sites for the vicarious calibration of airborne and satellite-based sensors, of which the Railroad Valley Playa in north central Nevada has played a key role. This work presents a cross comparison of five satellite-based sensors that all imaged this playa on July 16, 2001. These sensors include the Advanced Land Im...

background: the primary objective of this study was to determine the association between risk factors and the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorder (msd) among auto repair mechanics in klang valley, malaysia. methods: overall, 191 mechanics from eight auto repair centers in klang valley, malaysia were stratified sampling as participants of this study. a modified version of the general standard...

There is evidence to indicate that parts of the Walls of Jerusalem National Park have been glaciated on two occasions. No evidence of earlier glaciations has been found, although at least two older periods of glaciation have been demonstrated in adjacent areas. During the last glaciation, the Rowallan Glaciation, there was an incomplete ice cover and a large ice window, centred on the West Wall...

The locally migratory behavior of the high arctic muskox (Ovibos muschatus) is a central component of the breeding and winter survival strategies applied to cope with the highly seasonal arctic climate. However, altered climate regimes affecting plant growth are likely to affect local migration dynamics of the muskox. In this study, we apply longterm local-scale data on the seasonal distributio...

vegetation deterioration is a main cause of erosion and land degradation. therefore, land cover reclamation in the effected areas will affect erosion trend. in reclamation projects, the investigation of relationship between the planted species and soils is highly recommended. atriplex species can sequester carbon into soil, and have an ability to conserve soil and prevent soil erosion, as well....
