Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a vector-borne disease, highly influenced by environmental factors, which is an increasing public health problem in Iran, especially in the north-western part of the country. A geographical information system was used to extract data and map environmental variables for all villages in the districts of Kalaybar and Ahar in the province of East Azerbaijan. An attemp...

Within eleven minutes on 11 August 2012, twin earthquakes measured 6.3 and 6.4 on the Richter scale jolted Ahar and Varzaqan in northwestern Iran, claiming 300 lives and leaving thousands of injured in rural villages.12 The magnitude of the earthquakes was so immense that more than a hundred villages were 70-90% destroyed, while 20 being totally flattened. The primary estimations were suggestiv...

Abstract Dam breach due to the earthquake, Land sliding inside dam reservoir, overtopping as a result of intense precipitation in watershed are examples dangerous risks which flood caused by any them should be predicted suitable hydraulic or numerical models framework risk management plan. In present research, 2DHec-Ras model has been applied order modeling Sattarkhan dam. This is North West Ir...

A total of 907 cases of leprosy from two sources, records from Baba-Baghi Leprosarium (709 cases) and Ahar case finding survey (198 cases), have been studied. The main characteristics of the cases are: a) about 50% of all cases are lepromatous leprosy; b) the leprosarium cases are about 2.5 years younger; c) about 70% of all cases are male; and d) the incidence of leprosy shows a steady increas...

Human activity recognition (HAR) is one of the key applications health monitoring that requires continuous use wearable devices to track daily activities. This article proposes an adaptive convolutional neural network for energy-efficient HAR (AHAR) suitable low-power edge devices. Unlike traditional (early-exit) architecture makes early-exit decision based on classification confidence, AHAR a ...
