This paper describes the foraminiferal associations along with presentation of three new agglutinated conical species to construction biozonation framework in Mahallat region central Iran. The stratigraphic distribution benthic foraminifers is used characterize assemblage zones that are ascending order: rotaliids-valvulinids Assemblage Zone, alveolinids-coskinolinids and nummulitids-discocyclin...

Inferring the history of isolation and gene flow during species differentiation can inform us on the processes underlying their formation. Following their recent expansion in Europe, two subspecies of the house mouse (Mus musculus domesticus and Mus musculus musculus) have formed a hybrid zone maintained by hybrid incompatibilities and possibly behavioural reinforcement, offering a good model o...

Background and Objective: It is presumed that human herpes virus 8 (HHV-8) is the necessary cause of all different forms of Kaposi’s sarcoma which is the most common neoplasm in HIVinfected persons. In this study, we wanted to determine the prevalence of HHV-8 infection in all the available Isfahan (Central of Iran) HIV positive individuals in comparison with healthy blood donors, and also inve...

SUMMARY We present the results of a shear wave splitting analysis performed on teleseismic SK(K)S and direct S recordings 68 temporary broad-band stations to investigate mantle deformation northern side Arabia–Eurasia collision zone in NW Iran. used Reference Station Technique overcome potential contamination from source-side anisotropy signals. This method enabled us expand our measurement dat...

the purpose of present paper was to examine the relationship between central bank independence and inflation rate in iran over 1960-2008. first, central bank independence has been accomplished through three indices including legal and real cbi indices and turnover rate of central bank governor index. then, augmented dickey-fuller test for model stationary of variables has been done by applying ...

protection of water resources from contamination and detection of the contaminants and their treatments are among the essential issues in the management of water resources. in this work, the time-lapse electrical resistivity tomography (ert) surveys were conducted along 7 longitudinal lines in the downstream of the latian dam in jajrood (iran), in order to detect the contamination resulting fro...

Fourteen species of the genus Empis Linnaeus were collected and identified from Iran. Empis (Lisssempis) guilanensis Kazerani & Shamshev sp. nov. is described and illustrated from Guilan province in north central Iran. The following seven species were recorded from Iran for the first time: E. (Euempis) tessellata Fabricius, 1794; E. (Pachymeria) mediterranea (Loew, 1864); E. (P.) obscuripes (Lo...

We studied the characteristics of an electrophysiological border zone detected after healing of experimental myocardial infarction in cats. Thirty-two isolated left ventricles were studied in tissue bath 2-7 months after distal left coronary artery ligation. Action potentials were recorded from endocardial ventricular muscle cells in normal, lateral border and central infarct zones. Action pote...
