ashura tragic event and the martyrdom of imam hussein (as) are considered the greatest events in the history of islam after ghadir event because imam (as) held the great epic in ashura day and sacrificed himself and his family, near kin and his companions for the survival of islam. this human event had influence on poets’ souls as they made an attempt to compose lyrics about imam (as). some of ...

The manuscript titled ‘The concentration, source apportionment and deposition flux of atmospheric particulate inorganic nitrogen during dust events’ written by Jianhua Qi presented the dust impacts on particulate inorganic nitrogen by analyzing the aerosol samples collected at Qingdao, China. The authors divided dust pattern into three parts, and investigated the dry deposition flux. To estimat...

A thermal infrared remote sensing retrieval method developed by Wen and Rose [1994], which retrieves particle sizes, optical depth, and total masses of silicate particles in the volcanic cloud, was applied to an April 07, 2001 sandstorm over northern China, using MODIS. Results indicate that the area of the dust cloud observed was 1.34 million km, the mean particle radius of the dust was 1.44 μ...

The evolution of organic carbon export to the deep ocean, under anthropogenic forcing such as ocean warming and acidification, needs to be investigated in order to evaluate potential positive or negative feedbacks on atmospheric CO2 concentrations, and therefore on climate. As such, modifications of aggregation processes driven by transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) formation have the potent...

The radiative effects of the dust event that hit North America in late April 1998 are studied here as an example of how longrange aerosol transport may temporarily affect the U.S. solar resource. Broadband and spectral radiation data from different sites in the western U.S. are analyzed. At its peak, this event triggered losses of ~30% in beam irradiance and 40% in beam daily irradiation. Consi...

the direction and speed of winds play an important role in the occurrence of pollutions and dust stormas well as location placement for the establishment of industries and the expansion of cities. yazd is a dry area of iran, and constantly exposed to the dust particles in the air; and this in terms of human life and health issues are of special importance. in this paper a day when due to the am...

[1] A thermal infrared remote sensing retrieval method developed by Wen and Rose [1994], which retrieves particle sizes, optical depth, and total masses of silicate particles in the volcanic cloud, was applied to an April 07, 2001 sandstorm over northern China, using MODIS. Results indicate that the area of the dust cloud observed was 1.34 million km, the mean particle radius of the dust was 1....

House dust mites are common pests with an unusual evolutionary history, being descendants of a parasitic ancestor. Transition to parasitism is frequently accompanied by genome rearrangements, possibly to accommodate the genetic change needed to access new ecology. Transposable element (TE) activity is a source of genomic instability that can trigger large-scale genomic alterations. Eukaryotes h...

Demolition of older housing for urban redevelopment purposes benefits communities by removing housing with lead paint and dust hazards and by creating spaces for lead paint-free housing and other community resources. This study was conducted to assess changes, if any, in ambient dust lead levels associated with demolition of blocks of older lead-containing row houses in Baltimore, Maryland (USA...
