The most enigmatic problems with the nearly 200 salt domes pierced in the Persian Gulf and in the Zagros Mountain Ranges (ZMR) in southern Iran, a unique morphology in the world, have been the matter of this study, which is based on a combination of field work, enhancement of satellite and aerial photographs etc. In the ZMR, structural anomalies are frequently associated with similar facies dis...

A significant amount of the ongoing shortening between Eurasian and Arabian plates is accommodated within Zagros Fold-Thrust Belt. However, spatial temporal distribution active belt, especially in its NW part, not yet well constrained. We determined depositional ages uplifted river terraces crossing belt along Greater Zab River using luminescence dating. Kinematic modeling fault-related fold wa...

Root-knot nematodes (RKN) are the most serious plant parasitic nematodes having a broad host range exceeding 2,000 plant species. Quercus brantii Lindl. and Q. infectoria Oliv are the most important woody species of Zagros forests in west of Iran where favors sub-Mediterranean climate. National Botanical Garden of Iran (NBGI) is scheduled to be the basic center for research and education of bot...

abstract in this presentation, a case of bilateral choroidal folds in patient with diabetic retinopathy was reported. by our knowledge, this case presentation is the first report of choroidal folds in diabetic retinopathy, which bilateral symmetric and horizontal folds arranged in macula. the thick choroid that is developed in diabetics may be a cause of these folds but the source of difference...

Abstract. The Zagros orogenic system resulted due to collision of the Arabian plate with Eurasian plate. region is characterized by ocean–continent subduction and continent–continent collision, convergence velocity shows variations from east west. Therefore, this complex tectonic stress a wide range diffuse or localized deformation between both plates. in situ GPS data are very limited sparsely...
