Analysis of benthic foraminiferal assemblages was performed in Callovian deposits of the Farsian Formation Northeastern Alborz; Iran. The sequence of Callovian at the Goznawwi area consists mainly of soft marls , which contain high-diversity calcareous assemblages. In this foraminiferal succession nine morphogroups were differentiated according to shell architecture (general shape, mode of coil...

We describe a new species of mite from Iran--Reticulolaelaps hallidayi Joharchi, Nemati & Babaeian sp. nov. (Acari: Laelapidae). The new species was collected in a nest of Tapinoma sp. (Hymnoptera: Formicidae) in Taleghan city, Alborz Province and in soil in Khuzestan province in southwestern Iran. Reticulolaelapsfaini is reported for the first time from Iran. The genus Reticulolaelaps is redes...

The Alborz mountain range in northern Iran is part of the active and seismic Alpide belt, where assessing hazards crucial due to region’s history large instrumental earthquakes destructive background. Moment rate estimation, which quantifies tectonic activity, offers a novel approach understanding energy potential regions. In this study, regional perspective employed investigate maximum horizon...

the permian deposits in the stratigraphic section of sangsar (located in the eastern alborz), are the best expose in the semnan area. this sequence consists of the doroud (asselian-sakmarian), ruteh (artinskian-murgabian) and nessen (early djulfian) formations. the dorud formation in the studied section with 56 m thickness consists of conglomerate, sandstone and quartzite, which is disconformit...

Twenty taxa of Lower Givetian rugose corals have been investigated in the Dreimühlen Formation from Meerbüsch quarry, Eifel Hills. The fauna consists mostly solitary coralla associated with some fasciculate specimens Disphyllum caespitosum (Goldfuss, 1826) and large massive colonies Argutastrea briceae (Rohart, 1988). genus Marennophyllum n. gen. is introduced Cystiphylloides marennense Coen-Au...

introduction maceral is a term to introduce organic components visible under a microscope (stopes, 1935). the physical and chemical characteristics of macerals such as elemental composition, moisture content, hardness, density and petrographic characteristics differ. the differences in the physical and chemical characteristics of macerals are reflected in their industrial behavior.(parkash, 198...

BACKGROUND Developing maternal competence in first time mothers has a significant impact on neonate's growth psychosocial development and neonates growth and psychological development. Social support can be an important element for becoming a new mother.
