using global free air gravity and topography data, first we have calculated a bouguer anomaly (ba) map for iranian plateau and then computed the residual isostasy anomaly map under the airy-heiskannen assumption. the term residual is used as to reflect the assumption of local isostatic compensation in contrast to a regional isostatic compensation. the value with which the gravity effect of the ...

a detailed standard magnetotelluric (mt) study was conducted to recognize brine bearing layers in depths of less than 2000 m in the northeast of iran close to the southeastern shore of the caspian sea. long and medium period natural-field mt methods have proved very useful for subsurface mapping purpose by determining the resistivity of the near surface structure. mt data were analyzed and mode...

tehran, iran’s capital with a population of more than 10 million is located in the southern foothills of the alborz collision zone. the alborz mountain belt of northern iran results from the collision of a piece of the gondwana with eurasia in the late triassic (sengor et al., 1988). the alborz active mountain range which consists of several sedimentary and volcanic layers, with east-west trend...

the nw-se trending tus fault is one of the active faults in the north-east of iran . geomorphologic evidences indicate that this fault is active and goes through mashhad city from near tus town. since the population and number of pilgrims in this city are high, the study of the tus fault is of great importance. hence, we have carried out a new investigation to evaluate the hazardous potential o...

T amyloidoses are diseases of protein conformation, in which a particular soluble innocuous protein transforms and aggregates into an insoluble fibrillar structure that deposits in extracellular spaces of specific organs (reviewed in refs. 1–4). Organ dysfunction accompanies fibrillar deposition, and the amyloid hypothesis proposes a cause and effect relationship between deposition and dysfunct...

introduction the mn mineralization occurs in the northeastern segment of the sabzevar zone (sz), north of the central iranian microcontinent (cim). this zone (sz) is located between the cim fragmentation in the south and the kopeh dagh sedimentary sequence in the north. the ore deposits of the northeastern segment of the sabzevar zone can be divided into three groups, each with different metal ...

iran is located in a roughly triangular deforming region, consisting of relatively undeformed shield areas to the southwest (arabia) and northeast and the more recently deformed, though currently inactive, southwest afghanistan block in the east. the current geological and tectonic setting of iran is due to the ongoing convergence between the arabian and eurasian plates, which resulted in the f...
