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 ...

the present experiment was conducted to determine nutritional values of wild pistachio trees (p. khinjuk) leaves it's use it in the diet of sheep. initially chemical composition of p. khinjuk leaf was determined. the diets containing 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30% of p. khinjuk leaf were prepared and used for sheep to determine the best replacement level of it with corn silage. fermentation ...

drought as a climatic phenomenon affected many different environmental issues and generally is associated with the decreasing in average precipitation. evaluation and monitoring of the drought is a fundamental step in proper programming of water resources management. regarding the recent conditions water scarcity in the urmia lake basin, assessment of the drought index in this region is inevita...

three hundred and fifteen day -old chickens were used to test the relationship between oxygen-derived free radicals and the biochemical, hematological and pathological alterations(associtd with ascites). they were randomly divided into three experimental groups and ascites were developed in two groups of animals by exposing them to low temperature or administration of triiodothyronine (t3,), an...

introduction growing use of hydrocarbon constituents in various industries have generated significant quantities of hazardous wastes which lead to environmental pollution. in recent years, the strong global demands for fossil fuels and industrial chemicals have resulted in the release of some of these compounds into soil, water and air.hydrocarbon-contaminated soils are among the important envi...

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. ...

music consumption is a new topic in the academic literature, but the consumption of music itself has been part of human culture for centuries and all human more or less listen to it in order to fill their leisure time. marketers always find it challenging to identify the best way for selling music which at the same time can be accepted by different consumers, too. so, we tried to investigate th...

deficiency of water resources is one of the major challenges at the global scale and also in iran. the existence water resources of oceans and seas such as the caspian sea and persian gulf in the north and southern parts of iran respectively, can be considered as the alternative to dominate the future problem. this study is processed absorption of nacl based-on natural zeolite and perlite. in o...

abstract statistical methods are one of the useful tools for climatic elements and their behaviors analysis, as well as, modeling and predicting them subtly. in this paper the behavior of time series of annual temperature of zanjan during 1956-2005 have been studied. so, based on autocorrelation, correlation coefficient, and spearman and mann - kendall ways, the data trend was determined. the a...

investigation of drought event has a great importance in the natural resources management and planning water resources management. in this research, the effect of the climate change on drought characteristics in northwest of iran was investigated using the hadcm3 model under a2 scenario. the statistical downscaling was executed using sdsm 4.2.9 and observed daily precipitation, observed predict...
