Damavand is a fascinating dormant stratovolcano, 60 km to the ENE of Tehran located in the Alborz Mountains. Damavand volcanic products consist of lava flows and pyroclastic fall, flow and surge deposits from different eruption cycles. The volcanic rocks ranges from trachyandesite to trachyadacite and minor basalt. The mineral assemblage consists of potash feldspar (Or43/7), Plagioclase (An25 t...

Background. This study was designed to evaluate the incidence of acute mountain sickness (AMS) occurring on different climbing routes on Mount Damavand and the effect of beginning time of ascent in Iranian trekkers. Methods. This study was a descriptive cohort investigation, performed in summer 2007. All trekkers who ascended Mount Damavand from northern, western, eastern, and southern paths an...

-Oxygen isotope composition of three types of unique nodules which consist of amorphous silica-apatite, cristobalite-apatite and tridymite-apatite associations interspersed amidst basaltic pyroclastics from the Hat Peres volcano, Golan Heights, Israel is reported. Unusual isotopic temperature (75~ estimated from oxygen isotope fractionation between cristobalite (6'80 = +25.5%0-apatite (6'80 = +...

Research subject. Vendian clay rocks of the Shkapovo-Shikhan depression, which is situated in east Volga-Ural region, and volcanic tuffs present among deposits (Sylvitsa Asha groups) on western slope Middle South Urals. Material methods . The research was conducted using data content main rock-forming oxides about 70 samples tuffs. On this basis, a number indicator ratios (lithochemical modules...

1-Introduction Damavand volcano was formed by explosive and non-explosive eruptions on the old eroded rock units (Mesozoic and older) of Central Alborz during the Quaternary period and formed two huge cone (Old and Young Damavand). Davidson et al. (2004) determined the time of Old-Damavand activity from 1800 to 800 thousand years ago by measuring Ar/Ar and U-Th/He methods. According to their ...

Set of experiments has been developed to study existing runaway electrons in "Damavand" tokamak plasma upon characteristics of hard x-ray emissions produced by collision of the runaway electrons with the plasma particles and limiters. As a first step, spatial distribution of hard x-ray emissions on the equatorial plane of the torus was considered. Obtained spectra of hard x-ray emissions for di...

PURPOSE Headache at altitudes has had an incidence of 25-62% through many related studies. Many reasons are identified concerning headache at altitudes such as acute mountain sickness (AMS), sinus headache, migraine, tension type headache, and frontal tension headache. This study tried to compare different types of headache among trekkers on Mount Damavand, a 5671m mountain, Iran, to find their...
