determining landslide size could be a difficult and expensive task. in this research, size parameters of 142 landslides recognized in tajan river basin, northern iran, have been assessed. the dataset was prepared through the extensive field surveys and using the satellite imagery available via google earth. dependence between landslides area (a-m2), volume (v-m3), and depth (d-m) was appointed ...

In the current issue of the Journal, Gansevoort et al. (1) raise concerns about our paper (2) that compared the strengths and weaknesses of the urinary albumin concentration and the albumin:creatinine ratio as alternatives to the ‘‘gold standard’’ 24-hour urinary albumin excretion in the International Study of Macronutrients and Blood Pressure (INTERMAP). In that report, which used albumin excr...

Spatial correlation modeling comprises both spatial autocorrelation and spatial cross-correlation processes. The spatial autocorrelation theory has been well-developed. It is necessary to advance the method of spatial cross-correlation analysis to supplement the autocorrelation analysis. This paper presents a set of models and analytical procedures for spatial cross-correlation analysis. By ana...

OMICS data are increasingly available to biomedical researchers, and (biological) replications are more and more affordable for gene microarray experiments or proteomics experiments. The functional relationship between a pair of genes or proteins are often inferred by calculating correlation coefficient between their expression profiles. Classical correlation estimation techniques, such as Pear...

Moral deviation and delinquency in the youth life do not appear in one form and have different and diverse meanings and concepts. Not only criminal or guilty youth are the ones who propel the society to continuous thinking and planning and trying for their readjustment to the society, but also there are many youths who have not done any guilt but are exposed to the danger of moral deviation. S...

Partial recording of indices of periodontitis have long been used in clinical and epidemiological studies to predict full-mouth situation. The two most widely used partial recording indices for periodontal surveys are the community periodontal index of treatment needs (CPITN) and the Ramfjord teeth. The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of Ramfjord teeth in predicting the full-mo...

In this paper, we analyze the outage probability of a multibranch selection combining (SC) based on the signal to interference ratio (SIR) over Weibull fading channels in case of non-identical power distribution per branches. Both, desired and interference signal envelopes are exponentially correlated Weibull random variables. Also, an analysis of effects of fading parameter β, correlation coef...

Assuming the Riemann hypothesis and Montgomery's Pair Correlation Conjecture, we investigate distribution of sequences $(\log|\zeta(\rho+z)|)$ $(\arg\zeta(\rho+z)).$ Here $\rho=\frac12+i\gamma$ runs over nontrivial zeros zeta-function, $0<\gamma \leq T,$ $T$ is a large real number, $z=u+iv$ nonzero complex number modulus $\ll 1/\log T.$ Our approach proceeds via study integral moments these seq...
