Accumulation of soluble salts in arid areas which are similar to most regions of Iran is inevitable in soil surface and profile because of low precipitation and high evaporation. High concentration of soluble salts in soil profile caused severe problems for root water uptake thus plant growth stopped. Reducing soil salinity to optimized content by leaching and avoiding soil pounding must be con...

it is necessary to use empirical models for estimating of instantaneous peak discharge because of deficit of gauging stations in the country. hence, at present study, two models including artificial neural networks and nonlinear multivariate regression were used to predict peak discharge in taleghan watershed. maximum daily mean discharge and corresponding daily rainfall, one day antecedent and...

Agent-based models of financial markets usually make assumptions about agent’s preferred stylized strategies. Empirical validations of these assumptions have not been performed so far on a full-market scale. Here we present a comprehensive study of the resulting strategies followed by the firms which are members of the Spanish Stock Exchange. We are able to show that they can be characterized b...
