The purpose of this study is to determine geochemical anomalies on lithogeochemical data from Ardestan area, Central Iran, using concentration-number (C-N) fractal modeling and staged factor analysis. Staged factor analysis is used to the recognition of genetic correlation and elimination of non-indicator elements in three steps. Factor scores of elements were calculated and geochemical data cl...

Gazestan magnetite-apatite deposit is located in Central Iran and Bafq region, which has been occurred in form of veins, veinlets, and small apatite lenses as well as magnetite in metasomatic rock types such as green chlorite-actinolite rock units. These rocks are situated in the carbonate-volcanic complex of Upper Precambrian-Lower Cambrian Rizo formation. In this study, staged factor analysis...

The Zouzan area is located in the SE of Torbat-e- Heydarieh city (NE Iran). This area is located on north part of the Lut block which consists of basaltic andesite, tuff and porphyritic andesite. The purpose of this research is to investigate the enrichment of metal elements in the Zouzan area and provide a metallic geochemical model. For this purpose, 488 stream samples were analyzed using by ...

The aim of this work was to delineate the prospects of podiform-type chromite by staged factor analysis and geochemical mineralization prospectivity index in Balvard area, SE Iran. The stream sediment data and fault density were used as the exploration features for prospectivity modeling in the studied area. In this regard, two continuous fuzzified evidence layers were generated and integrated ...

Major aim of this study is to define the copper and gold anomalies using the combination of the Concentration-Number (C-N) fractal and the stepwise factor analysis, based on stream sediment samples in Lahrud 1:100,000 sheet, NW Iran. The case study is situated in Alborz-Azerbaijan structural zone. Elements related to Au and Cu hydrothermally mineralization were selected for this study, accordin...

BACKGROUND The optimal timing of resection for synchronous colorectal liver metastases is still controversial. Retrospective cohort studies always had baseline imbalances in comparing simultaneous resection with staged strategy. Significantly more patients with mild conditions received simultaneous resections. Previous published meta-analyses based on these studies did not correct these biases,...

objective: the aim of this study is to explore the confirmatory factor analysis results of the persian adaptation of abbreviated math anxiety scale (amas), proposed by hopko, mahadevan, bare & hunt. method: the validity and reliability assessments of the scale were performed on 298 college students chosen randomly from tabriz university in iran. the confirmatory factor analysis (cfa) was carrie...

A staged computation is a computation organized in a cascade of stages: each stage produces code for its successive stage; the final stage produces the desired output. An off-line procedure called binding time analysis (BTA) is often used to pre-convert unstaged code into staged code, i.e., code annotated with stage labels, which can guide online staged computation. For dynamic re-optimization ...
