In this paper, faults, one of the most important causes geohazards, were investigated from a kinematic and geometric viewpoint in northern part Sistan suture zone (SSZ), which serves as boundary between Afghan Lut blocks. Furthermore, field evidence was analyzed order to assess structural type deformation mechanism research area. Birjand mountain range, several ~E–W striking faults cut through ...

BACKGROUND No previous studies have examined marital status of patients with epilepsy and epilepsy-related factors on perceived and enacted stigmas in Iran. In the present study, marital status of patients with epilepsy (PWE's) in Birjand city in the east of Iran was investigated. METHODS A multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted to identify factors contributing to the marital status ...

In this paper, a solar site selection problem motivated by real-world case study to determine sustainable locations for establishing sites in the east of Iran is addressed. For purpose, hybrid multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach proposed that adopts best-worst method (BWM) weight criteria and sub-criteria extracted from literature applies grey relational analysis (GRA) VIKOR rank pot...

Abstract Background The concept of diagnostic reference level (DRL) is considered a regular method to optimize radiation protection in imaging system. objective implementing for dose produce high-quality images by applying minimum based on the As Low Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) principle. Therefore, this study aimed evaluate status radiology wards educational hospitals affiliated with Birjand...

Earth fissure structures are a common type of geohazard associated with geotechnical surface ruptures that can occur almost anywhere on the ground due to variety different mechanisms, and in most cases, these hazardous cracks have resulted severe damage infrastructure. Investigation structural characteristics fissures an active tectonic area (such as Birjand eastern Iran) improve our understand...

The healthcare system is important due to the focus on human care and the interference with human lives. In recent years, we have witnessed a rapid rise in e-healthcare technologies such as Electronic Health Records (EHR) and the importance of emergency detection and response. Cloud computing is one of the new approaches in distributed systems that can handle some of the challenges of smart hea...

BACKGROUND To determine the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of the National Vision Screening Program for 7 yr old children in Iran. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, eight cities in Iran were selected through multistage cluster sampling. Selected cities were Sari, Birjand, Ardabil, Mashhad, Bandar Abbas, Dezful, Yazd, and Ara...
