This paper presents evidence on Mesozoic inversion of basin bounding faults within the Taleqan-Gajereh-Lar Paleograben (TGLP) in Central Alborz Range. For this purpose, well documented stratigraphy data across the TGLP together with the new acquired structural data on the geometry and kinematics of the paleograben basin bounding faults are utilized. The TGLP has evolved through the Early and Mi...

The Alborz coal basin is located in northern part of Iran. The coal deposits of Shahrood in eastern Alborz, Zirab in central Alborz and Abyek in western Alborz were studied as typical coalfields of the basin. Shemshak Formation which is the main coal-bearing sequence was formed during the Triassic-Jurassic in the basin. It consists of sandstone, siltstone, shale and claystone, which variedly al...

to assess biogeographic affinity of the late cambrian (furongian) and the early ordovician (late tremadocian) faunas of eastern alborz, a multivariate cluster analysis using the pair-group raup-crick similarity index has been applied. the late cambrian fauna of alborz shows clear gondwanan signatures with the closest affinities to the contemporaneous faunas of temperate latitude peri-gondwana (...

Abstract The 350 km-long Adjara-Trialeti fold-and-thrust belt of southwestern Georgia is the result structural inversion a continental back-arc basin developed in Paleogene on upper (Eurasian) plate northward subducting northern branch Neotethys. Low-temperature thermochronological data [fission-track and (U-Th)/He analyses apatite] from sedimentary plutonic rocks provide robust constraints tec...

in order to select and release of alborz-1, the new cultivar of crimson clover suitable for cropping systems based on clover planting, several research projects were carried out at seed and plant improvement institute (spii) during 1997-2008. these studies were carried out using a split plot design (based on a rcbd) with 12 treatments and four replications in karaj, dezful and esfahan research ...

Background and Aims: Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is considered as worldwide and economically significant infection. The aim of this study was to estimate prevalence of persistent bovine viral diarrhea infection (PI) in industrial dairies of Tehran and Alborz province, Iran. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 102371 blood samples were collected from bovine of industria...

1. introduction the effect of climate of the earth's surface is the result of interaction of different levels of atmosphere and lithosphere. one of the factors which influences that interaction is the way the system pressure transcends it. in this way, the system pressure changes and can be changed and eventually may become an environmental hazard and geomorphodynamic phenomenon. hazards are an...

the research was carried out to study the effect of provenance variation on stem length, stem biomass, root biomass and survival ofcaucasian oak (quercus macranthera) seedlings. the seeds were collected from several seed sources grown in an altitude range of 1800-2000 m a.s.l in alborz mountain, both from the northern facing slope, kordkoy and chichal, and from the southern facing slope, roudba...
