a synoptic method based on stream analysis is applied to understand the governing mechanism of summer rainfall occurrence in the south of iran. based on this, the rainfall data of 152 stations of iran were analyzed for a 33-year period (1970-2002). investigating the spatial and temporal distribution of summer rainfall, a typical rainy region is recognized in the south east of iran. it is found ...

drought as a climatic phenomenon affected many different environmental issues and generally is associated with the decreasing in average precipitation. evaluation and monitoring of the drought is a fundamental step in proper programming of water resources management. regarding the recent conditions water scarcity in the urmia lake basin, assessment of the drought index in this region is inevita...

seed rot caused by pythium ultimum is an important disease of safflower in iran and other countries. therefore, finding the genetic sources of resistance and releasing of resistant cultivar is considered as important objective by safflower breeders. this disease will spread when air humidity and the moisture in the soil are sufficiently prepared and this situation occurs exactly in the time of ...

in general, spring cultivation of sugar beet is prevalent, but nowadays because of water sources limitation and also plants low water use efficiency in this time of cultivation, autumn cultivation is growing up. several assessments also have showed that in compare with spring cultivation, autumn cultivation of sugar beet has other benefits including reducing the likelihood of plant disease and ...

plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) is an alternative to chemical pesticides against harmful microorganisms especially soil-borne diseases. rhizoctonia solani is one of the most important soil-borne fungal pathogens that causes serious damages to important crops. in this study, to screen successful pseudomonas bacterial isolates, the inhibition of pathogen growth was evaluated in-vitro....

regional analysis is one of the important methods for estimating the low flow in ungagged regions. investigation of the relations between effective factors of hydrological drought is the most important strategy to contrast and reduction of drought losses. in this study to analyze of low flow, the daily discharge data from 20 gauging stations with 25 years period (1988-2012) in the kashafroud ba...

in this study two intelligent systems, based on adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems (anfis) and artificial neural networks (anns) of forecasting municipal solid wastes (msw) generation has been proposed. anfis and anns as an intelligent tool compared with together was used to monthly prediction of msw generated in tehran. monthly amount of solid wastes (sw), total monthly precipitation, mont...
