mountains and trees have many similarities. in this way, simorgh of shahnameh shifts from the tree of vispobish to alborz mountain. if simorgh has spiritual existence in avesta, a devilish side has been added to it in shahnameh. in avesta, it lives on a tree, but in shahnameh we find him on alborz mountain. all the researches done on shahnameh and iranian mythology did not pay any attention to ...

In northern parts of Iran such as the Alborz Mountain belt, frequent landslides occur due to a combination of climate and geologic conditions with high tectonic activities. This results in millions of dollars of financial damages annually excluding casualties and unrecoverable resources. This paper evaluates the landslide susceptible areas in Central Alborz using the probabilistic frequency rat...

The Alborz mountain range in northern Iran is part of the active and seismic Alpide belt, where assessing hazards crucial due to region’s history large instrumental earthquakes destructive background. Moment rate estimation, which quantifies tectonic activity, offers a novel approach understanding energy potential regions. In this study, regional perspective employed investigate maximum horizon...

In this paper we introduce a new low power address bus encoding technique, and the resulting code, named ALBORZ. The ALBORZ code is constructed based on transition signaling the limited-weight codes and, with enhancements to make it adaptive and irredundant, results in up to 89% reduction in the instruction bus switching activity at the expense of a small area overhead.

The geographic distribution of Astragalus (Fabaceae) in Iran was analyzed using a database of 7606 georeferencedobservations. Astragalus occurs in all provinces of Iran, but 88% ofthe observations are in five provinces including Tehran, West-Azerbaijan, Esfahan, Kordestan, and Khorasan-e Razavi.Most species are rare and narrowly endemic: Thelargest distance between two observations of the same ...

Introduction The Islamic Republic of Iran (Figure 1) has an area of 1,648,000 km 2 and a population of 65 million people (1995 estimate). The country has arid and semiarid climates and the occurrence of rainfall is unreliable, with a coefficient of variation as high as 70%. The average annual precipitation over the country is around 250 mm. Two mountain ridges, the Alborz and Zagros (Figure 1),...

BACKGROUND A two year seroepidemiological study was designed to find out the seroprevalence and risk factors of canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL) among stray and owned dogs in Tehran and Alborz Provinces of Iran. METHODS Blood samples of 602 dogs living in 11 counties of Tehran and Alborz Provinces were taken by venipuncture in 2008-2010. After separation of blood sera, anti-leishmanial ant...

in this paper by using mm5 modeling system, the effects of the alborz mountain range on the development of synoptic weather systems on the leeward side of the mountains have been studied. the primary aim was to see if the cyclones are produced and intensified (cyclogenesis), however the cyclogenesis was found not to be marked and hence the focus of the study was on the effects of the mountain o...
