A geometric graph G is a simple graph G together with a straight line drawing of G in the plane with the vertices in general position. Two geometric realizations of a simple graph are geo-isomorphic if there is a vertex bijection between them that preserves vertex adjacencies and non-adjacencies, as well as edge crossings and non-crossings. A natural extension of graph homomorphisms, geo-homomo...

the aim of this study was to identify various sulfidic mineralized zones in the ghare-tappeh cu deposit (nw iran) based on geo-electrical data including induced polarization (ip) and resistivity (rs) using the concentration-volume (c-v) and number-size (n-s) fractal models. the fractal models were used to separate high and moderate sulfidic zones from low sulfidic zones and barren wall rocks. b...

the present study examined year-to-year variations in areas affected by drought during a period of 39 water yearsin iran. ninety-five meteorological stations were chosen to provide near-continuous long-term records, althoughsome data was missing (less than 10%). the missing data points were estimated using a linear correlation methodbetween the reference station with the missing data points and...

Abstract This paper presents a robust approach using artificial neural networks in the form of a Self Organizing Map (SOM) as a semi-automatic method for analysis and identification of morphometric features in two completely different environments, the Man and Biosphere Reserve “Eastern Carpathians” (Central Europe) in a complex mountainous humid area and Yardangs in Lut Desert, Iran, a hyper...

Large deformation causing damage due to uplift force is generated in buried pipeline located in shallow trenches in marshes and saturated soils. In this paper, existing common methods of pipeline anchorage are discussed and considering advantages and disadvantages of these methods, a new method of pipeline anchorage are studied and presented. In this new developed method, geo-textile materials ...

of the many climatic events that influence the earth’s environment, drought is perhaps the one that is most linked with desertification. drought is the consequence of a natural reduction in the amount of precipitation received over an extended period, usually a season or more in length. drought monitoring is an essential component of drought risk management. it is normally performed using vario...

We present an empirical study on the variation of accent type and of context on pragmatic focus interpretation. The material was based on audio-recordings of nine German speakers who were instructed to read dialogues with embedded questionanswer pairs in which the answers constituted the pragmatic focus of the utterance. Different accent types occurred for marking the focus constituent. The aud...
