Population density, distribution and biomass of macrobenthic fauna in Chabahar Bay were investigated from May 1995 to March 1996 on a bimonthly basis. The most abundant groups were Amphipods (21%), Polychaetes (19%), Gastropods (15.7%) and Bivalves (10.6%). Maximum (13000 individuals/m2) and minimum (4600 individuals/m2) were observed in May and July respectively. The changes in density were in...

To study the temporal and spatial variations of groundwater quantity quality in response to intensive exploitation from Quaternary aquifer UAE, a water budget model with cell size one km2 was developed. The available historical records levels salinity have been used develop table maps UAE for years 1969, 2005, 2010, 2015. resources soil information system facilitate validity, cogency, consisten...

AbstractResearch question How does follicle distribution evolve in the human ovarian cortex between ages of 20 and 35 years? Design Fragments from women undergoing unilateral oophorectomy for fertility preservation were obtained quantitative histological assessment, including recording two-dimensional coordinates follicles. Data analysed using spatial statistical meth...

to estimate population density of the cabbage aphid, brevicoryne brassicae (l.), a stratified random sampling was conducted in two unsprayed canola fields in isfahan (central iran) during 2011-2012. population density was determined for apterous, and alates, as well as the total population, at two plant growth phases (pgp1: from plant emergence to the end of rosette, and pgp2: from the beginnin...

During the past four decades (1960-2000), the United States experienced major transformations in population size, development patterns, economic conditions, and social characteristics. These social, economic, and built-environment changes altered the American hazardscape in profound ways, with more people living in high-hazard areas than ever before. To improve emergency management, it is impor...

We consider a non-stationary sequential stochastic optimization problem, in which the underlying cost functions change over time under a variation budget constraint. We propose an Lp,q-variation functional to quantify the change, which captures local spatial and temporal variations of the sequence of functions. Under the Lp,q-variation functional constraint, we derive both upper and matching lo...
