In this paper we propose a conditional logic IBC to represent iterated belief revision. We define an iterated belief revision system by strengthening the postulates proposed by Darwiche and Pearl [3]. First, following the line of Darwiche and Pearl, we modify AGM postulates to make belief revision a function of epistemic states rather than of belief sets. Then we propose a set of postulates for...

background: rodents play an important role as reservoir of some pathogens, and the host of some ectoparasites as well. these ectoparasites can transmit rodents’ pathogens to human or animals. the aim of this study was to assess the distribution and infestation load of ectoparasites on rodents in meshkin-shahr district, northwestern iran . method: rodents were captured using baited live traps in...

Biogeochemistry is a useful tool for assessing geochemical dispersion patterns. Sari Gunay epithermal gold deposit was selected in order to assess the application of biogeochemical exploration for gold in northwestern Iran. In this study, four sites were sampled in a profile perpendicular to mineralized vein with a control site two km far-off mineralized vein. A sample from each dominant plant ...

Psychological trauma may result in depression. Veterans are particularly prone to development of depression. 100 male veterans (39 injured by chemical and 61 by non-chemical warfare) with 30% to 70% of physical disability were compared with 100 age- and sex-matched individuals selected from general population serving as comparison group. The diagnosis of depression was made according to the DSM...

Methods & Materials This is a secondary descriptive-analytical analysis. The source used data general population housing census analysis unit counties country. Pearson correlation variance SPSS software, version 22 were analyze ...

High aerosol levels pose severe air pollution and climate change challenges in Iran. Although regional optical depth (AOD) trends have been analyzed during the dusty season over Iran, specific factors that are driving spatio-temporal variations winter AOD influence of meteorological dynamics on remain unclear. This study analyzes long-term Iran period 2000–2020 using updated Modern-Era Retrospe...

Abstract In recent years, greenhouse gas emissions have caused extensive changes in the global climate. Climate change leads to extreme events, such as droughts. The present study investigates precipitation and temperature variations past future drought characteristics Iran through data from 40 synoptic stations 33 general circulation models (GCMs) under RCP4.5 RCP8.5 scenarios. As a first step...

Extreme precipitation and flooding often lead to human economic losses. However, the high-resolution nationwide exposure data are scarce. Availability of all-weather space-borne SAR satellite can potentially improve ability generate flood map extent globally. In Iran, is a major concern, given socioeconomic vulnerabilities increased likelihood climate extremes. Iran experienced extreme during J...

Objective: To estimate the infection of ticks to Anaplasma, Ehrlichia, Babesia, Theileria, and Brucellaceae using molecular methods in borderline Iran, Azerbaijan, Armenia. Methods: Totally, 2 022 were collected from different livestock. Then, species diagnosed under stereomicroscope according valid morphological keys. Tick DNA was extracted followed by PCR detect Babesia ticks.Results: A total...
