Today analyzing seismicity hazard urban different areas is critical and inevitable due to develop and to expand cities in seismically active zones and naturally, the hazard because the earthquake is more in the bigger cities and the necessity to consider these hazards would be increased. Expanding the cities in Iran seismically active zones caused to be necessary to analyze earthquake hazard. B...

Reduced connectivity across grassland ecosystems can impair their functional heterogeneity and negatively impact large herbivore populations. Maintaining landscape human-dominated rangelands is therefore a key conservation priority. Integrate data on occurrence species richness with analyses of to identify important areas for maintaining or restoring herbivores. The study was conducted mosaic m...

Distributed software development raises new software engineering challenges resulting from the difficulty of making several teams cooperate across different countries, time zones and cultures. These obstacles can lead to critical delays or even failures. One of the most effective techniques for overcoming them is to improve the quality of software specifications. Our experience with a distribut...

Availability of accurate and objective landslide susceptibility maps depicting zones defined on the basis of probability of occurrence of landslides is one of the critical inputs in assessing risk to property and lives in any mountainous region, particularly in the Himalayas. The aim of this study is to assess the utility of soft computing tools, namely, neural network, fuzzy and neuro-fuzzy ap...

Magneto-optical imaging and magnetization measurements were applied to investigate local formation of superconducting phase effected by a random neck synthesis in Y-Ba-Cu-O system. Polished pellets of strongly inhomogeneous ceramic samples show clearly the appearance of superconducting material in the intergrain zones of binary primary particles reacted under different conditions. Susceptibilit...
