This animal is considerably the most medically importance spiders all over the world. METHODS Live adult spider specimens were collected from Bandar Abbas town using hand catch conventional method and transferred to the lab...

In this paper the efficiency of the method of Least Squares Harmonic Estimation (LS-HE) for detecting the main tidal frequencies is investigated. Using this method, the tidal spectrum of the sea level data is evaluated at two tidal stations: Bandar Abbas in south of Iran and Workington on the eastern coast of the UK. The amplitudes of the tidal constituents at these two tidal stations are not t...

In this paper, we present some common fixed point theorems for four maps in partially ordered partial metric spacess. Our results generalize the main theorems of Abbas, Nazir and Radenović [1].

News anti-malarial measures would deliver benefits of more than US$ 400 billion, according to the report. Dr Fatoumata Nafo-Traore, director of WHO's Roll Back Malaria Department , said she was quite happy to see malaria ranked as it was. " The panel acknowledged that malaria prevention and treatment have a high benefit–cost ratio. Their proposal would make a huge difference. From our viewpoint...

BACKGROUND The current distribution of and access to health services along with the future health needs of the population have prompted wide application of Geographic Information Systems (GISs). During recent years, GIS has been used in public health management for planning and organization of healthcare services. This study investigates geographical accessibility of residential areas in Bandar...

The process of land use change and urban sprawl has been considered as a prominent characteristic of urban development. This study aims to investigate urban growth process in Bandar Abbas city, Iran, focusing on urban sprawl and land use change during 1956-2012.
