The palaeontological analysis led to identification of twenty seven taxa of benthic foraminifera and algae in the section studied. Diverse assemblages of benthic foraminifera and also the low planktonic/benthic (P/B) ratio show that the sedimentary environment in the study area was oxygenated and shallow. Key words: microbiostratigraphy, palaeoecology, Lower Cretaceous, Bararig section, Kerman Province, Iran. RESUMEN Los sedimentos del Barremiano-Aptiano en la sección Bararig section (al suroeste de Kuhbanan) consisten en una alternancia de margas y calizas. El análisis paleontológico permitió la identificación de 27 taxa de foraminíferos bentónicos y algas en la sección estudidad. Diversas asociaciones de foraminíferos bentónicos y la baja relación de planctónicos/bentónicos (P/B) indica que el ambiente sedimentario en el área de estudio fue oxigenado y somero.

  • Exogenous 5-Azacitidine Accelerates Flowering and External GA3
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Exogenous 5‑azaCitidine accelerates fowering and external GA3 increases ornamental value in Iranian Anemone accessions Vahideh Yari1, Zeynab Roein1* & Atefeh Sabouri2* The Anemone genus is a tuberous geophyte which undergoes a dormancy period during unfavorable environmental conditions for growth. Five species of the Anemone genus naturally grow in several regions of Iran. The diverse uses of Anemone in gardens for landscaping, cut fowers, and potted plants indicate its high ornamental potential. Its dormancy and fowering are infuenced by various factors. The present paper was conducted to explore the fowering behavior of Anemone accessions in response to diferent pre‑treatments. For this purpose, tubers of 18 Anemone accessions (A. coronaria and A. bifora) were collected from natural regions of six provinces in Iran. These tubers were subjected to diferent conditions of non‑chilling (20 °C, 90 days), chilling (4 °C, 90 days), GA3 (150 mgL‑1; 24 h), and 5‑azaCitidine (5‑azaC; 40 µM; 24 h) prior to the cultivation. Most of the accessions were able to enter the fowering stage without chilling. The shortest period for the sprouting of tubers (16.89 ± 7.83 days) belonged to 5‑azaC pre‑treatment. In addition, this treatment accelerated the fowering time (about 30 days earlier) and diameter of the stem, bud, and fower. Morphological characteristics, such as stem height, number of leaves, bud, and petal and the longevity of fowers on the plant were signifcantly afected by GA3 pre‑treatment. Our results indicated a positive correlation between fower length, stem height, and stem diameter with fower longevity under diferent pre‑ treatment conditions.

In this research, we used documental research method and field research based on questionnaires and face-to-face interview. It was found out that despite different tourist attractions in rural areas of Tehran Province, tourist arrival to the rural areas was only due to natural attractions. Almost all counties have agri- cultural tourist attractions, but no comprehensive and coherent programs have been implemented for the development of agro- tourism in the region. It was revealed that one job can be created in exchange for the arrival of nearly 133 Agro-tourists, that tourists in their rural trips are more willing to buy Abstract agricultural products and homemade processed foods as compared to handicrafts and other goods, that in rural trips, agro-tourists will spend more money for their purchases than other rural tourists, and that agro-tourists earn much more benefit on their purchasing as compared to rural tourists. Based on the results, the most important expected economic impacts of agro-tourism development in Tehran Province include the Keywords: increase in agro-tourist arrivals to the rural regions, the increase Agro-tourism, Economic impacts, Rural develop- in job creation, the improvement of rural economy and much ment, Rural economy, more agro-tourism revenue in rural areas as compared to other Rural tourism fields of rural tourism.

  • Prevalence of Multiple Sclerosis and Environmental Factors in Kerman Province, Iran
    Neurology Asia 2013; 18(4) : 385 – 389 Prevalence of multiple sclerosis and environmental factors in Kerman province, Iran Hossein Ali Ebrahimi MD, Behnaz Sedighi MD Neurology Research Center, Kerman University of Medical Sciences, Kerman, Iran Abstract Objective: In this study we investigated the epidemiology of MS and some related environmental factors in Kerman province, southeastern Iran. Methods: The MS diagnosis was based on the revised Mc-Donald criteria. The patients were those registered at the Iran MS society, Kerman branch; those in the MS registration centers of Kerman and Rafsanjan University of Medical Sciences, and the Department of Neurology at Shafa Medical Center were studied. Results: The prevalence of MS was 31.5 per 100,000 population in Kerman province, and 57.3 per 100,000 population in Kerman city. The male to female ratio was 1:3. Average age at onset was 28.35 years, and 3.9% of cases were early onset at ≤16 years of age. A linear relationship was observed between prevalence and average environmental temperature as prevalence tended to be lower in areas where the annual average temperature was higher. However, in the town of Shahrbabak which has cold weather, prevalence was low, which might be related to the presence of copper in this area. Average disability was 4.5± 1.9 (4.83 ± 1.9 in men and 4.26 ± 1.8 in women, p=0.0035) on the Kurtzke Disability Status Scale. The mean duration of illness was 8.2 ± 1 year. Almost all patients in this study used beta-interferon for a period of at least 4 years.

The initial estimate of the earthquake depth is estimated to be 10km. The earthquake had two foreshocks on August 17, 2014; one at 3:45 pm with Mb4.6 and one at 7:17 pm (local times) with Mb4.8. These two foreshocks led to the evacuation of many citizens; fortunately during the mainshock no one was killed. 250 people were however reported injured and about 12,000 were made homeless. About 2500 tents have been distributed in the meizoseismal zone by the Iranian Red Crescent Society. The earthquake occurred near the Balarud E-W directed fault (a part of the Zagros Mountain Front Flexure; ZMFF) and the Dalpari fault (NW-SE trend) that is traced about 10km to the west of the epicenter.

Abstract Background: Coping with painful events and unfavorable emotions is a special goal for every human being. The ability to effec- tively cope with these events is called resilience. Among high-school students who are prone to facing many stressful incidents, this construct has had special importance because resilience predicts mental and physical health of students in the future to a great degree, and it will have many other positive effects as well. Objectives: In this study, the effect of intimacy with parents on the resilience with the mediator roles of life satisfaction and lack of depression was studied in the framework of next generation of structural equations modeling (partial least squares).
