geographic information system (gis) and analytical hierarchy process (ahp) were applied to ecological zoning of current agricultural lands in gorgan for sunflower cultivation. for this purpose, agro-ecological requirements of sunflower firstly, identified according to scientific resources. rating and thematic requirement maps were then provided. studied environmental-components were: average, m...

nowadays, water supply for sustainable development is one of the most important concerns and challenges in most countries of the world. due to determination of groundwater potential zones are one of the important tools in the conservation, management and utilization of water resources. thus, the present study aimed to prioritize the effective factors on groundwater potential and its susceptibil...

seepage in earth fill dams is one of the important factors that may cause the erosion and slope instability if it is ignored. therefore, it is crucial to calculate the leakage discharge through the body of dam and foundation, to prevent economic and life hazards by considering technical and economical issues. in this research, the seepage analysis of the body and the stability of the upstream a...

abstract climate change and increase the temperature of the environmental importance of human behavior that is considered in recent years many studies have been devoted .objective of this study is to investigate trend and slope trend monthly of hdd with temperature threshold of 18. mean daily temperature of weather during the statistical period of 44 years (1962-2005) was provided from asfe zar...

The purpose of this note is to posit and discuss the concept of "competitive inhibition potential" (CIP), which is an in vivo index of the ability of a competitive inhibitor to elevate plasma concentrations of drug substrates, when the competitive inhibitor is administered at its usual and customary dose.

Quantitative scaling into percent signal change is helpful to detect and eliminate “bad” results with abnormal extreme values. While cognitive effects give signal changes on the order of 1% (and larger in the visual and auditory cortices), signal variations of over 10% may arise from motion and other artifacts in the data. Thus, a quantitative check on measured effect size can be used to screen...
