background: the aim of this study was to detect the seroprevalence of human fascioliasis in isfahan county, central iran in 2013. methods: overall, 471 sera samples were collected from people recalled randomly to 20 health centers in the city of isfahan and 10 related villages in 2014. sera were examined using elisa test. a questionnaire was filled out for each participant. results: altogether ...

the nayband formation was measured and sampled in parvadeh area, southern tabas city. in this area, this formation has a thickness of 1410 m, dividing into four members, namely gelkan, bidestan, howz-e-sheikh and howz-e-khan. a total 573 samples were treated for palynological analysis, and only 120 samples were productive. a total of 57 miospore taxa and 11 plant macrofossil were encountered. b...

Geological studies are very important at different steps of mining activities. Different uncertain geological criteria and factors show a significant impact during the underground operations mineral extraction process. The current study reports on evaluation classification coal seams for methane drainage-ability (MDA) through fuzzy hybrid approach. This problem was investigated due to importanc...

The objective of this study is to identify the most suitable portions of the C1 coking coal seam in the North Block of the East-Parvadeh coal deposit (Central Iran), according to ash and sulfur values, using C-N fractal modeling. Based on the C-N log-log plots, different geochemical populations were evaluated based on their sulfur and ash content. They were then divided into five populations ea...

Finding a proper estimation method for ore resources/reserves is important in mining engineering. The aim of this work is to compare the Ordinary Kriging (OK) and Advanced Inverse Distance Squared (AIDS) methods based on the correlation between the raw and estimated data in the East-Parvadeh coal deposit, central Iran. The variograms and anisotropic ellipsoids are calculated to estimate the ash...

In the present study, an investigation was carried out on Parvadeh coal mine in Tabas, Iran, to survey the effect of fractures on unusual methane gas emission in coal mines. This coal mine was chosen for investigating because of its high methane gas content in the coal body and available data from sensors in desired locations. Gas concentration monitoring programs were carried out at the mine s...
