introduction earth has ever been exposed to environmental hazards. the hazards are continually occurring in the world in the recent years. among them, atmospheric elements have created many human and financial losses in different regions. one of the hazards is dust events and in its severe case is dust storm. it happens more frequently in arid and semiarid regions in deserts and their surroundi...

sexual behavior in most moths is limited to a precise duration period of either the day or the night. these behaviors as well as the calling behavior are specific. information on reproductive behavior is important in the chemical ecology studies. experiments were conducted to determine the developmental biology, adult time emergence and calling behaviors of three populations of carob moth, ecto...

introduction atmospheric circulation patterns leads to different weather conditions and rainfall regime change is controlled by seasonal and irregular variations of atmospheric circulation pattern. variety and climate change, such as drought and flood result in changes in the spatio-temporal of precipitation, one of the important parameters conditions mentioned, heterogeneity in moisture transm...

introduction precipitation is one of the most important meteorological variables in comparison with other climatic parameters. it varies extremely over time and space. the occurrence of this climate phenomenon requires specific circumstances in environment. its accurate measurement is important to a wide range of decision makers including hydrologists, agriculturalists, industrialists and etc. ...

this paper describes a methodology for the integration of well logs and a series of grid-based attributes extracted from interpreted seismic data for prediction of porosity distributions. the studied area is located in the southwest iran. before finding a relationship between the target logs and predicted logs from 3d seismic data, we have interpreted the 3d seismic data in the studied area. al...

a synoptic method based on stream analysis is applied to understand the governing mechanism of summer rainfall occurrence in the south of iran. based on this, the rainfall data of 152 stations of iran were analyzed for a 33-year period (1970-2002). investigating the spatial and temporal distribution of summer rainfall, a typical rainy region is recognized in the south east of iran. it is found ...

trehalose is an important disaccharide signal metabolite in plants which is involved in various aspects of plant function such as response to stress, photosynthesis and carbon allocation and partitioning. a mutant of arabidopsis lacking trehalose-6-phosphate synthase activity (tps1) accumulates ascorbate. exogenous ascorbate application ameliorates trehalose induced growth inhibition of wild ty...

stevia rebaudiana bertoni is a medicinal, perennial and herbaceous plant from asteraceae family with sweet glycosides in its leaves. salinity stress is one of the important limiters in agricultural productions. salinity influences the growth and development of plant by effect on more activities in physiological and morphological characteristics. to study the effect of salinity on morphological ...
