The aim of the present study is to validate AOT (aerosol optical thickness) and Ångström exponent (α), obtained from MODIS (MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) Aqua and Terra calibrated level 1 data (1 km horizontal resolution at ground) with the SAER (Satellite AErosol Retrieval) algorithm and with MODIS Collection 5 (c005) standard product retrievals (10 km horizontal resolution), ...

A set of high-resolution multi-spectral satellite images were collected and processed to estimate the sediment concentration in the sea-breaking zone. The value of Total Suspended Matter (TSM) is empirically related to the sea surface reflectance. However, in order to obtain accurate reflectance measurements from the satellite images, the effect of the atmosphere needs to be accounted for. A se...

Introduction: The study’s main aim is to investigate the long-term variation of Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD). It also aims to show the relationship between meteorological parameters. This study evaluates long-term (2010 to 2021) special and temporal changes over major Indian regions using satellite-based data from NASA’s Terra Satellite. Materials and Methods: This study was carried out during ...

Nephrolithiasis was incidentally diagnosed in 2 Arabian horses, a young foal and an adult mare, from Maybod, Yazd province, Iran. The foal had bilateral neophrolithiasis, as multiple sand like stones in renal papillary area. Large nephroliths were found in the left kidney of mare. Prominent composition of those nephroliths was magnesium ammonium phosphate. Risk factors and other aspects of neph...

BACKGROUND Yazd province which is the host of local and foreign immigrants may be faced with contacting malaria. Plasmodium falciparum malaria remains a major cause of mortality throughout in the tropical regions of the world. Pthophysiologic mechanisms of anemia in malaria is such as direct invasion of Red cells, anemia of chronic disease hypersplenism, Hemophagocytic syndrome and erythrophago...

Estimation of plant dry matter to management of rangelands fast as well as high accuracy is important for managers. Research aims to compare Plant Dry Matter Productivity (PDMP) values estimated by Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) derived from satellite images BKA, KVA according to different levels of satellite image processing, for AL-Sweeda Badia (Syria), during the April, July o...

Cutaneous Leishmaniasis may present with clinical presentation such as zosteriform, sporotrichoid and erysipeloid. The eczema variant has rarely been reported. We report a 27- year- old patient with atypical cutaneous leishmaniasis resembling eczema on the hand of a man in Yazd province in the central of Iran.
