this study evaluates changes in species composition, catch, and cpue of three species of kilkas in the caspian sea from 1961 to 2009. the effects of fluctuations in sea level rise and fall on the catch of kilka as well as the impacts of a recent invasion by mnemiopsis leidyi (ctenophora) were assessed in terms of species composition and cpue of kilkas in the iranian coastal region of the caspia...

In this paper the main factors that influence the Caspian Sea level rising and the probable and improbable factors are discussed in detail. A cyclical behavior of the level of the Caspian Sea according to local records was proposed. This cyclic fluctuation of the sea level is the long-term behavior of the sea so that the investigation is not restricted to a specific time interval. The statistic...

caspian sea is the largest enclosed body of water on the earth. since the collapse of soviet union in 1991 and discovering large oil and gas fields, some issues such as political, economic and environmental events, made the caspian sea important. the ecology of the sea are being endangered due to several issues such as petroleum extraction, river and sea pollutions, water level rise, biological...

statistical studies on palynology contents of late cretaceous to paleocene age gurpi formation in a surface section in zagros basin,sw iran indicate changes in abundance, species diversity, ratio of spiniferites to cyclonephelium (s/c), palynological marine index(pmi) values and organic facies. these palynological variations clearly reflect fluctuations in relative sea-level and depositionalenv...

Quantifying faults in manufacturing processes is a crucial concern, particularly in new manufacturing processes where continual product improvement is desired. We present an approach to incrementally diagnose fault patterns on surfaces of product components. Contemporary experimental and surface-analysis techniques are adapted at each step of the approach. Specifically, a maturing layeredmanufa...

the moisture flux convergence (mfc) and relative humidity in dusty days at different times and levels over the alvand mountain was investigated. the required basic data for the years 2009-2012, including relative humidity, visibility and synoptic codes, were gathered from hamadan synoptic station, while sea level pressure, uwind, vwind and specific humidity data were gathered from ncer/ncar sit...
