soil salinity has been a large problem in arid and semi arid regions. preparation of such maps is useful for natural resource managers. old methods of preparing such maps require a lot of time and cost. multi-spectral remotely sensed dates due to the broad vision and repeating of these imageries is suitable for provide saline soil maps. this investigation is conducted to provide saline soil map...

Diatoms constitute an important component of the fouling community. Although a lot of work has dealt with the fouling diatom community structure, work on the species interactions within the community is still meagre. In this regard, a study was carried out by transferring natural diatom biofilms into controlled conditions in order to understand the roles of nutrients, initial cell inoculum and ...

 Abstract : In this paper a meta-heuristic approach has been presented to solve lot-size determination problems in a complex multi-stage production planning problems with production capacity constraint. This type of problems has multiple products with sequential production processes which are manufactured in different periods to meet customer’s demand. By determining the decision variables, mac...
