as social health is a condition-driven, dynamic and fluid concept, it seems necessary to construct and obtain a national and relevant concept of it for every society. providing an empirical back up for iran's concept of social health was the aim of the present study.this study is an ecologic study in which available data for 30 provinces of iran in 2007 were analyzed. in order to prove construc...

this paper consists of three sections. in the first section an efficient method is used for decomposition of the canonical matrices associated with repetitive structures. to this end, cylindrical coordinate system, as well as a special numbering scheme were employed. in the second section, divide and conquer method have been used for eigensolution of these structures, where the matrices are in ...

organic agriculture, sometimes called biological or ecological agriculture, combines traditional conservation-minded farming methods with modern farming technologies .the purpose of this research was to identify management skills in development of organic agriculture in west azerbaijan province (iran) farms. the target population of this research included all agricultural experts who work in we...

abstract in order to study the effects of quantitative and qualitative traits on cooking characteristics and protein percentage of 15 red bean genotypes, a randomized complete block design was conducted with three replications in normal irrigation and drought stress. these traits were measured in farm and nutrition laboratory employing international standard of ciat. analyses of variance showed...

relationships between soil factors and vegetation types in playa of damghan was investigated. six vegetationtypes including artemisia.sieberi, arundo. sp, artemisia.sieberi-peganum.harmala, alhagi.cammelerom,artemisia.sieberi-petropyron.sp, tamarix.passerinoides-halocnemum strobilaceum. one bare land was recognized inthe study area and the research was conducted within mentioned types. canopy p...

eight genotypes of spring safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.) were evaluated for several physiological traits under stress and non-stress water regimes. data were analyzed using principal factor analysis. the factor analysis technique extracted six factors under non-stress conditions. six factors explained about 80% of the total variation, and only 40% of the variance was accounted for by the f...

concentrations of elements (as, co, cu, ni, mo, pb, v, cd, cr and zn) are studied in the surface sediments of bakhtegan lake, northwest of nyriz city, iran, to assess metal contamination. the average abundance order of trace elements content in bakhtegan lake sediments is cr>ni> v> zn> cu> co> as> pb> mo>cd. the comparison of trace elements concentration in bakhtegan lake sediments with toxicol...

frictional shear stress is usually determined by utilizing the coefficient of friction or the constant friction factor models. the present study deals with finite element analysis of double cup extrusion process to determine the relationship between constant friction factor (m) and coefficient of friction (µ), since the metal flow in this process is very sensitive to frictional conditions. ther...

assessing the quality of groundwater is important to ensure the sustainablesafe use of these resources. however, describing the overall water quality condition isdifficult due to the spatial variability of multiple contaminants and the wide range ofindicators (chemical, physical and biological) that could be measured. therefore, in thiscase study, some water quality parameters including na, mg,...

background: pleurisy is a common extra pulmonary complication of tuberculosis, but current methods for diagnosing it are fairly crude. here we product a meta-analysis for the available evidence on the ability of tumor necrosis factor-? (tnf-?) in pleural fluid to serve as a diagnostic marker of tuberculous pleurisy (tp). materials and methods: we searched the pubmed, embase, and google scholar ...
