This study quantifies the significance of southerly water vapour fluxes, associated with the Zagros Mountains barrier jet, on precipitation occurring in the Eastern Fertile Crescent region and its change due to global warming. Precipitation events are simulated using a Regional Climate Model (MM5-Noah) driven by boundary conditions from a CCSM global climate model simulation with the SRES A2 em...

this paper proposes an extension of markov chain model to characterize of geological formations and to make conditioning on any number of well data possible. in this study, lithofacies cycles of the amiran formation at type and pirshamsedin sections are examined by markov method and entropy analysis as well as field observations, and depositional environment has interpreted by proposed ideal se...

the study area is the rahmat anticline. this is located in fars province (sw fold simple zagros belt). the aims of this study are morphotectonic studies and structural analysis in several parts of area. for this purpose: 1) morphotectonic indices, drainage basin shape index (bs), mountain front sinuosity index (smf) and valley floor width – height ratio (vf) were measured by digital elevation m...

Investigation and Comparison of Slenderness Coefficient Old Persian Oak Wild Pistachio Trees in Different Site Conditions the Middle Zagros

In this paper, we introduce the concepts of n-fold obstinate pseudo-hoop and n-fold obstinate filter in pseudo-hoops. Then we investigated these notions and proved some properties of them. Also, we discussed the relationship between n-fold obstinate pseudo-hoop and n-fold obstinate filter and other types of n-fold pseudo-hoops and n-fold filters such as n-fold (positive) implicative filter and ...

amplitudes of seismic waves decrease with distance according to anelastic properties of the earth and geometrical spreading. the attenuation of ground-motion amplitudes in the frequency domain is an important problem in engineering seismology. it is of particular practical interest in the regions such as zagros (iran). the zagros fold- thrust belt, as a part of alpine- himalayan orogenic belt i...

In Iran, studies of the transition from hunting and gathering to farming herding have focused on early developments in Zagros Mountains. Here, authors present new zooarchaeological data Hotu Cave, which throw light sheep/goat management domestication during Epipalaeolithic–Neolithic southern shores Caspian Sea. Gazelle dominate Epipalaeolithic levels, while are most abundant Neolithic. Large qu...
