the goal of this research is gully erosion hazard zoning by using dempster-shafer theory for the garnaveh watershed (golestan province). for this purpose, at first a gully erosion inventory map with the scale of 1:200000 (dependent variable) for the gharnaveh watershed has been prepared using multiple field surveys and satellite pictures. from total gullies 70% of them have randomly selected fo...

From 1995 to 1998, more than 90 percent of mid-range IPOs were charged underwriter fees, or spreads, of exactly seven percent, even though evidence suggests that economies of scale in the size of the offering should allow for lower fees. Chen and Ritter (2000) offer collusion as a possible explanation based on empirical analysis and observation. Alternatively, we investigate whether the spreads...

in this research, the applicability of geographic information system (gis) and remote sensing (rs) techniques was tested to assess soil erosion risk with the icona erosion model. this study was carried out in the tange bostanak area because of its variety of diverse landforms, land uses and land covers. the erosion risk assessment phase of this model consists of seven steps that mainly use slop...

In many natural scenes, shadows and shading, which are primarily luminance-defined features, proliferate. Hence one might expect that the chromatic variations of natural scenes, which more faithfully represent the layout of object surfaces, will contain relatively fewer and larger uniform regions than the luminance variations, i.e., will be more "patchy." This idea was tested using images of na...

nowadays, water supply for sustainable development is one of the most important concerns and challenges in most countries of the world. due to determination of groundwater potential zones are one of the important tools in the conservation, management and utilization of water resources. thus, the present study aimed to prioritize the effective factors on groundwater potential and its susceptibil...
