Relations between the third world countries in different parts of Asia and Africa during the 19th and 20th centuries, to a great extent, were influenced by the presence and policies of colonial powers. Thus, for a better understanding of roots of disputes and issues existing between these countries concerning frontiers, disputed Islands, political and prejudicial tensions, we need to study pas...

The 1990 Rudbar earthquake (Mw 7.3) broke along three right-stepping segments of the left-lateral fault, in western Alborz mountains (Iran), producing ?80 km surface rupture. Previously reported horizontal (?60 cm) field offsets were surprisingly low, and vertical (?95 unexpected, given relatively large moment release, shallow source depth, fault geometry, rake. We characterize displacement fro...

In a parasitic survey of the native and introduced fishes in the Zayandehrud River, 5 Myxobolus spp. were found in the gills, fins and skin of examined fish specimens. They include M. varicorhini from fin and M. samgoricus from skin of Capoeta damascina, M. musajevi from gills of Capoeta capoeta gracilis, Myxobolus cristatus from Capoeta aculeata, and M. saidovi from Alburnus sp. Data on the lo...

administrative regulations for water flow decrease distribution efficiency and effect the economical operation of irrigation networks. complications in distribution systems and the decrease in availability of water require study of the hydraulic performance of existing flow control structures. control systems designed by neyrpic (zayandeh rud network) and usbr (doroodzan network) were investiga...

This Online Appendix contains (i) additional results and discussion related to the notion of plausible priors, and (ii) proofs that have been omitted from the main text in the interest of brevity. In particular, it presents two constructions that deliver a continuum of behaviorally equivalent representations for arbitrary MEU and Bewley preferences. ∗An earlier draft of this paper was circulate...
