Interrupting the processes which control ecosystem resources has dramatic impacts on the rangeland conditions. To protect ecosystems and landscape, it needs to understand the ecosystem processes which regulate the ecosystem resources. As main components of ecosystems, patches and inter-patches play important roles in energy and materials cascade. Ecologically, functional parameters such as stability, infiltration and nutrient cycling serve as key factors determining the movement of sediments, nutrients and organic matter as well. The present research aims to evaluate and compare the ecological patches of grasses, shrubs and mixed grasses- shrub using indices of stability, infiltration and nutrient cycling. Therefore, sampling was carried out in Qahavand rangelands located in the south east of Hamadan province, Iran on three patches of grass (Cynodon dactylon), shrub (Camphorosma monspeliaca L. and Astragalus microcephalus) and mixed grasses- shrub (Camphorosma monspeliaca + Cynodon dactylon) to evaluate the aforementioned parameters. Samples were taken along three 50 m transects using LFA (Landscape Function Analysis) method.

So, tourism comfort is very important, in terms of choosing the time and place of travel and physiological aspect of human body. In this study, according to the necessity of ecotourism subject and the potentials of natural indicator in Hamedan, a researcher have tried to identify the best time of tourism with analytical- descriptive method and TCI model. Therefore, since Hamedan is in the cold mountainous climate, the result indicate that the optimal comfortable climate of Hamedan during the months of April, May and October is very good and during the months of January and February is undesirable.

  • Persia Has Had Horses for Thousands of Years . If You Go to Persepolis You Can See the Carvings
    Persia has had horses for thousands of years . If you go to Persepolis you can see the carvings The horses and Persian kings. 2500 years ago and even older than that the carvings inside the caves shows the presence of horses in Iranian plateau Modern Persian Arabs which are the descendents of these horses in the west of Iran are well-known for their unique ability to tolerate long distances in different climates and tracks. One of the prominent characteristics of these horses is their very good temperament and courage. this makes them very safe in long distances. Their intelligence is also obvious to anyone who rides them. Unfortunately due to some rules it is impossible and sometimes if possible very difficult to send them to Europe in endurance rides . ، In the years 1979,78 and 89 Late Mrs. Mary Leili Gharagozlou who was the founder of Iranian National Stud book imported some horses to Austria, Germany, The Emirates and Holland. Unfortunately because Iran underwent many happenings, there is no trace of many of them but those went to Austria and Holland have been found and their progeny are active in endurance with a lot of spectacular records: Abu Khamseh 75 percent Persian Arab (Asil) 2006 in September he beat the world champion Miguel vebla in a CEI **** (200K) 2006 in copa del rey in spain he gained the title of the best Arabian horse of the year ( 8 days -460 kilometer) Harfa 75 percent Persian arab , also was ridden alongside Abu Khamseh in Copa del rey and finished successfully The champion of TREC with his owner who also rode him آ , Harfa 50 percent Persian arab For more information on their pedigree you may see : The pictures are also from that site.

ABSTRACT Land degradation has been recognized as one of the most adverse environmental impacts during the last century. The occurrence of sinkholes is increasing dramatically in many regions worldwide contributing to land degradation. The rise in the sinkhole frequency is largely due to human-induced hydrological alterations that favour dissolution and subsidence processes. Mitigating detrimental impacts associated with sinkholes requires understanding different aspects of this phenomenon such as the controlling factors and the spatial distribution patterns. This research illustrates the development and validation of sinkhole susceptibility models in Hamadan Province, Iran, where a large number of sinkholes are occurring under poorly understood circumstances.

  • Of Nitrite Based on Its Reaction with 刀-Nitroaniline in the Presence of Diphenylamine in Micellar Media
    Spectrophotometric Determination ofNitrite Bull. Korean Chem. Soc. 2004, Vol. 25, No. 7 1009 Spectrophotometric Determination of Nitrite Based on Its Reaction with 刀-Nitroaniline in the Presence of Diphenylamine in Micellar Media Abbas Afkhami,* Shokofeh Masahi, and Morteza Bahram Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Sciences, Bu-Ali Sina University, Hamadan 65174, Iran Received April 1, 2004 In the present work a very simple, sensitive and selective spectrophotometric method for the determination of nitrite in micellar media is described. The method is based on the color reaction of nitrite with p-nitroaniline in the presence of diphenylamine in acid media. In order to remove the extraction step, Triton X-100, a non-ionic surfactant was used as micellar media. The optimum reaction conditions such as acid concentration, reagents concentration and effect of time have been studied and the analytical characteristics of the method such as limit of detection, linear range and molar absorptivity have been obtained. The interference of some anions and cations was also tested. The method was applied to the determination of nitrite in real samples. Key Words : Spectrophotometric determination, Nitrite, p-Nitroaniline, Diphenylamine, Micellar media Introduction Experimental Section The nitrite ion is an important intermediate in biological Apparatus. UV-Visible absorbance spectra were recorded nitrogen cycle and is present in soils and surface waters.1 on a Shimadzu UV-265 scanning spectrophotometer using 1­ Nitrite is also a versatile chemical agent, which has found cm quartz cells. Metrohm model 713 pH-meter with a numerous applications ranging from dye manufacture to combined glass electrode was used for pH measurements.
