arid and semi-arid regions of the world are confronted with limited water resources. a large part of iran is arid and semi-arid and rainfall in arid and semi-arid regions is typically meager, irregular and highly variable. this irregularity affects the hydrological cycle and water resources. investigating the hydrology of the arid and semi arid regions is essential to know this environment and ...

In this paper, we develop an empirical model of an agro-pastoral system subject to high climatic risk to test the impact of rainfall variability on livestock densities, land allocation patterns and herd mobility observed at the community level. Also, because grazing land is a common-pool resource, we determine the impact of cooperation on these decision variables. To capture different abilities...

studies of rainfall variation generally focus on large areas. for example, in india, the area average monsoon rainfall series of the whole country or meteorological subdivisions are used. this would be of no use for local agriculture, particularly in places where rainfall is very high or very low, especially for crops like small cardamom and vanilla which are very sensitive to soil moisture and...

The purpose of this paper is to introduce the concept of soft double fuzzy semi-topogenous order. Firstly, we give the definition of soft double fuzzy semi-topogenous order. Secondly, we induce a soft double fuzzy topology from a given soft double fuzzy semi-topogenous order by using soft double fuzzy interior operator.

OBJECTIVES Influence of meteorological variables on the transmission of bacillary dysentery (BD) is under investigated topic and effective forecasting models as public health tool are lacking. This paper aimed to quantify the relationship between meteorological variables and BD cases in Beijing and to establish an effective forecasting model. METHODS A time series analysis was conducted in th...
