An earthquake was happened on 23 October 2011 in Van, Turkey (Mw7.2) at the eastern most area of Anatolian plateau and in the neighborhood of Iranian border (West Azerbaijan Province). The study was performed based on field and office observations and has been focused on the process of disaster management in Turkey after the 23 October 2011 earthquake. We surveyed the quake from the view point ...

Iran Central Plateau encompasses a large proportion of this country. The weather in these flat plains is warm and arid with very little precipitation. Different attempts in architecture have been done to alleviate the weather severity of this area and create a living place compatible with humans’ comfort criteria. Investigations have showed that some of the most successful approaches in traditi...

The Asian summer monsoon has great socioeconomic impacts. Understanding how the huge Tibetan and Iranian Plateaus affect the Asian summer monsoon is of great scientific value and has far-reaching significance for sustainable global development. One hypothesis considers the plateaus to be a shield for monsoon development in India by blocking cold-dry northerly intrusion into the tropics. Based o...

La naissance de l’agriculture à l’est du Croissant Fertile, sur le plateau Iranien et jusqu’en Asie centrale en Sud, est relativement mal connue. L’aire concernée vaste les données archéologiques liées cette période, Néolithique, y sont extrêmement limitées. plupart des chercheurs s’accordent penser que la pratique domestication plantes animaux fut introduite depuis l’Asie Sud-Ouest, au même ti...

Abstract The intensity and location of boreal summer extratropical intraseasonal oscillations along the subtropical westerly jet (EISO-SJ) are crucial in triggering distributing extreme events over Eurasia. Based on numerical experiments, this study distinguishes orographic mechanical surface thermal forcing Tibetan–Iranian Plateau (i.e. TIP-MF TIP-TF) EISO-SJ. primarily modulates amplitude EIS...

objectives: the aim of this study was to assess and compare the characteristics of commonly used initial archwires by their load deflection graphs. materials and methods : this study tested three wire designs namely copper nickel titanium (cnt), nickel titanium (niti), and multi-strand niti (msnt) archwires engaged in passive self-ligating (psl) brackets, active self-ligating (asl) brackets or ...

An accurate geomorphometric description of the Iranian loess plateau landscape will further enhance our understanding of recent and past geomorphological processes in this strongly dissected landscape. Therefore, four different input datasets for four landform classification methods were used in order to derive the most accurate results in comparison to ground-truth data from a geomorphological...
