thunderstorms are climatical phenomena, which sometimes can cause irreparable damage to the ecology. in this study to identify any trends in the frequency of days with thunderstorms in iran, long-term statistics of 33 synoptic stations, from the beginning until 2005 was used. at first by applying nonparametric man-kendall and sen’s estimator methods on four seasonal time series, and one annua...

It is a basic process, distinguishing of water based on quantity and quality properties and condition of it reach for consuming optimum. It has been to descent processes the level of underground water according to simple hydrograph of Shiraz plain in statistical period of 1993-2011 that totally the level of underground water has been decreasing about 5.98 meters. It has been decreased the quali...

abstract in this research, temporal trends of reference evapotranspiration (et0) values were investigated in arid regions of iran. for this purpose, the meteorological observations collected from 11 high quality meteorological sites for a 41-year period (1965-2005) were used and statistically significant et0 trends in the monthly, seasonal and annual time basis were detected by the non-parametr...

temperature is one of the most important climate variables that many economic and social plans related to its changes. because of the importance of this issue, this study investigated the changes of it in the province khuzestan. meteorological data that used in this study is mean temperature in annual and seasonal timescale. the study area is abadan, ahwaz, dezful and omidiye stations. for anal...

drought is one of the natural phenomena which occurs in all climates in different parts of the world. iran is located in the dry belt of the world. the increase of desertification, drought reoccurrence, and destruction by human in this geographical region needs more studies on spatial and temporal trend of rainfall. in this study, trends of climatic drought during 1975-76/ 2004-05 in seasonal a...

The effect of malnutrition on the adrenal cortex has not been well studied. Earlier reports suggested that malnutrition in man produced adrenocortical hypofunction (Zubiratn and Gomez-Mont, 1953), and more recent reports suggest normal function (Lurie and Jackson, 1962) and possibly hyperfunction of the adrenal cortex in malnourished infants (Alleyne and Young, 1966). The purpose of this study ...

one of the most important hydrological time series task is to determine if there is any trend in the data and how to achieve stationarity when there is nonstationarity behavior in data. detecting trend and stationarity in hydrological time series may help us to understand the possible links between hydrological processes and global climate changes. in this study yearly, monthly and daily stream...
