equilibrium-line altitudes (elas) of former glaciers in the zardkuh mountain of the zagros mountain range were reconstructed from glacial-geologic data on former ice limits by using various methods. in the study area various types of glacial landforms such as outwash fans, moraines and well developed glacial cirques are observed. the results suggest that ela were depressed 1433 m below to prese...

Part A: " Organic foods are not healthier than non-organic foods/Organic foods are unhealthy " Misconception Number 1: Pesticide residues in conventional foods are always within safe levels. Summary of Counter-Arguments-A significant percentage of conventional food products contain pesticide residues in excess of legally-defined, maximum, authorized residue limits in Europe and the US.-As a res...

This article presents long-term analyzed rainfall and temperature data obtained from the National Metrological Agency (NMA) of Ethiopia. Using tables and graphic trends of analysis, the article shows the low and declining level of average annual rainfall as well as the high inter-annual fluctuations for 18 weather stations located in different agro-climatic zones of the country. The high variat...

a sensitivity analysis of the flood safety of solaimantangeh dam using a regional climate change simulation is presented. based on the output of the ccsm (community climate change system model) general circulation model, the nircm (north of iran regional climate model) computes regional scale output with 50 km spatial resolution and 21 vertical layers. using the sres (special report emission sc...

rainfall spatial analysis methods are very helpful since there are not enough rainfall gauge stations and watersheds are scattered in large extent. there are many different methods for estimating average precipitation such as; arithmetic method and thiessen polygon. however, the arrangement and location of data and their correlations are not considered by classic methods. thus, geostatistical t...

We propose a method to calculate the QCD level density directly from the thermodynamic quantities obtained by lattice QCD simulations with the use of the maximum entropy method (MEM). Understanding QCD thermodynamics from QCD spectral properties has its own importance. Also it has a close connection to phenomenological analyses of the lattice data as well as experimental data on the basis of ha...

Modems for digital communication often adopt the socalled correlative level coding or the partial-response signaling, which attains a desired spectral shaping by introducing controlled intersymbol interference terms. In this paper, a correlative level encoder is treated as a linear finite-state machine and an application of the maximumlikelihood decoding (MLD) algorithm, which was originally pr...

Abstract. We consider the sums Sn = ξ1 + · · · + ξn of independent identically distributed random variables with negative mean value. In the case of subexponential distribution of the summands, the asymptotic behavior is found for the probability of the event that the maximum of sums max(S1, . . . , Sn) exceeds high level x. The asymptotics obtained describe this tail probability uniformly with...

1. Modification of parameters in Biome Property Look-Up Table (BPLUT) to agree with GPP derived from measurements at eddy flux towers and synthesized NPP. 2. Alteration of growth respiration module in the collection 004 to make it is 25% of annual NPP, rather than being dependent on the annual maximum LAI. 3. Replacement of the constant Q10 quotient of 2.0 for vegetation maintenance respiration...
