BACKGROUND HLA genes are highly polymorphic and certain alleles are frequent only in specific populations. Therefore, HLA is a unique tool for studying the genetic relation between different populations. Iranians are ethnically diverse people and one of the major ethnic groups in Iran is Lur population inhabiting along the central and southern parts of Zagros Chain Mountain. OBJECTIVE Genetic...

Oxidized mercury (Hg(II)) is chemically produced in the atmosphere by oxidation of elemental mercury and is directly emitted by anthropogenic activities. We use the GEOS-Chem global chemical transport model with gaseous oxidation driven by Br atoms, to quantify how surface deposition of Hg(II) is influenced by Hg(II) production at different atmospheric heights. We tag Hg(II) 10 chemically produ...

Atmospheric deposition is considered to be a major process that removes pollutants from the atmosphere and an important source of nutrients and contaminants for ecosystems. Trace elements (TEs), especially toxic metals deposited on plants and into soil or water, can cause substantial damage to the environment and human health due to their transfer and accumulation in food chains. Despite public...

The most prolific reservoir intervals in the Barents Sea are found Upper Triassic to Middle Jurassic Realgrunnen Subgroup, deposited during a major change structural evolution of basin which greatly influenced its development and distribution. effects evident one petroleum provinces SW Sea, Hoop Area. Due condensed nature succession, tectonostratigraphic has been enigmatic. We use range differe...
