background: global findings indicate that incidence rate of cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl) has significantly in­creased during the past decade, as documented in many countries. this review was aimed to evaluate the trend of cl cases in terms of demographic and clinical characteristics during a decade after the earthquake (2003–2012) com­pared to the corresponding period before the earthquake in b...

Northern Pakistan, the center of major construction projects due to commencement China Pakistan Economic Corridor, is among most earthquake-prone regions globally owing its tectonic settings. The area has experienced several devastating earthquakes in past, and these pose a severe threat infrastructure life. Several researchers have previously utilized advanced tools such as Machine Learning (M...

Despite its extreme importance and years of effort, practical short-term earthquake prediction still remains to be achieved in future. However, earthquakerelated electromagnetic phenomena are recently considered as a promising candidate for short-term earthquake prediction. There have been accumulated a lot of evidences of precursory signatures in a wide frequency range (DC-VHF). The ULF geomag...

This study affords the experimental evidences elucidate putative mechanism of bee comb establishing. Furthermore, first time discerned skewed triangular prism in bottom cells ab initio built up by Apis mellifera carpatica indicates that traditional rhombic dodecahedra is not mandatory element architecture. The revealed oddity inherent to about one third whole number constitute analyzed patterns...

vernacular architecture has always had appropriate answer in conformity with the environment and climate. this paper has considered values of iran vernacular urbanization and architecture in humid and moderate climate looking through sustainability and sustainable development concepts. gorgan city has been studied using laboratory studies and available sources and relying on the content analysi...

Earthquakes are natural phenomena that cause terrible disasters for human society. Many of the caused by earthquakes around world serve as warnings to us about fragility life and immaturity science - especially construction science. For earth dams, which made up mostly compacted earth, most common type in world, an earthquake can have enormous consequences if it causes a dam failure. Thus, prop...

A wide set of premonitory seismicity patterns is reproduced on a numerical model of seismicity, and their performance in prediction of major earthquakes is evaluated. Seismicity is generated by the Colliding Cascades Model, recently developed by the same authors. The model has a hierarchical structure. It describes the interaction of two cascades: a direct cascade of loading, which is applied t...
