    Abstract: Today, tourism industry is considered as the largest and the most various industries in the world and many countries regard the industry as a part of their main source of income, employment, the growth of the private sector and the development of infrastructure. Coastal areas naturally attract human beings and include the required potential for tourists. And coastal tourism can be undoubtedly seen as a source of added value and special income for coastal cities.

  • The Erosion Yield Potention of Lithology Unite in Komroud Drainage Basin (North Semnan, Iran) Using MPSIAC Method
    2012 International Conference on Environmental Science and Technology IPCBEE vol.30 (2012) © (2012) IACSIT Press, Singapore The Erosion Yield Potention of Lithology Unite in Komroud Drainage Basin (North Semnan, Iran) Using MPSIAC Method + Ahmad Adib1 , Davood Jahani2, Masomeh Zareh 3 1Faculty of Engineering, Islamic Azad University, South Tehran Branch, Tehran, Iran 2, 3 Geology department, Islamic Azad University, North Tehran Branch, Tehran, Iran Abstract. Komroud basin with area of 32 km2 is located at North of Semnan Provence. Kahar formation with the age of infracamberian is the oldest available stones in this basin. Stone units in infracamberian and Cambrian formation cover more than 50% area of total range. This region is generally consisting of sediment stones. 6 main factors including geology, climate, tectonic, slope, plant cover and weathering are influence on level of erosion of rock units. In this research effective factors on erosion will be studied. And by using Arc GIS software the level of sediment yield map and investigation of formations to erosion at Komroud basin was specified. Most important factors on erosion at this region include geology, tectonic and slope. Then based on MPSIAC the related tables, maps will be prepared and finally the level of sediment at Komroud basin will be achieved. Results of tests and studies, certified that stone units of Komroud basin are classified within 5 erosion groups in which Quaternary unite had very high erosion and Lalun & Mila formation had very low sediment. Factors including Surface geology were effective on Komroud basin. Keywords: Komroud Drainage Basin, Erosion, Alluvium, Erosion Sensitive 1. Introduction Sedimentation measure can be estimated by different methods.

    Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-48908-9 — The Origins of the Arab-Iranian Conflict Chelsi Mueller Frontmatter More Information |The Origins of the Arab-Iranian Conflict The interwar period marked a transition from a Gulf society characterized by symbiosis and interdependency to a subregion characterized by national divisions, sectarian suspicions, rivalries, and political tension. In this study, Chelsi Mueller tells the story of a formative period in the Gulf, examining the triangular relationship between Iran, Britain, and the Gulf Arab shaykhdoms. By doing so, Mueller reveals how the revival of Iranian national ambitions in the Gulf had a significant effect on the dense web of Arab-Iranian relations during the interwar period. Shedding new light on our current understanding of the present-day Arab-Iranian conflict, this study, which pays particular attention to Bahrain and the Trucial States (United Arab Emirates), fills a significant gap in the literature on the history of Arab-Iranian relations in the Gulf and Iran’s Persian Gulf policy during the Reza Shah period. chelsi mueller is a research fellow at the Moshe Dayan Center for Middle Eastern and African Studies at Tel Aviv University. © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-48908-9 — The Origins of the Arab-Iranian Conflict Chelsi Mueller Frontmatter More Information The Origins of the Arab-Iranian Conflict Nationalism and Sovereignty in the Gulf between the World Wars chelsi mueller Tel Aviv University © in this web

Growing body of evidence, however, suggests that marine populations can differentiate over small spatial scales. Here we focused on black-lip pearl oysters from the Persian Gulf that are thought to belong to the Pinctada margaritifera complex given their morphological affinities. This species complex includes seven lineages that show a wide distribution ranging from the Persian Gulf (Pinctada margaritifera persica) and Indian Ocean (P. m. zanzibarensis) to the French Polynesia (P.

Methods: This study was conducted on neonates who were born from March 21, 2006 to March 20, 2011 and had undergone the congenital hypothyroidism (CH) screening program in counties affiliated to the Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. CH was diagnosed in 958 patients who treated with levothyroxine. The incidence rates of permanent and temporary congenital hypothyroidism in Isfahan province were calculated and their distribution was shown on the map. The space maps were drawn using the ArcGIS software version 9.3. Results: Based on the data obtained from the screening program, the average incidence of congenital hypothyroidism in the province during the period of 2006–2011 was 2.40 infants per 1000 live births (including both PCH and TCH). The most common occurrence was in Ardestan County (10:1000) and the lowest overall incidence was observed in the Fereydounshahr county (1.39:1000). The incidence of PCH in the counties of Ardestan and Golpayegan had the highest rate in all years of study; and the greatest number of TCH cases in the five years were observed in Nain, Natanz, Khansar and Chadegan counties.

O. Box 92260, 1090 AG Amsterdam, The Netherlands * Corresponding author Abstract This catalog comprises 56 genera and 266 species of mite names of superfamilies Raphignathoidea and Tetranychoidea recorded from Iran at the end of January, 2013. Data on the mite distributions and habitats based on the published information are included. Remarks about the incorrect reports and nomen nudum species are also presented. Key words: Checklist, mite, habitat, distribution, Iran. Introduction Apparently the first checklist about mites of Iran was that of Farahbakhsh in 1961. Subsequently the following lists were published: “The 20 years researches of Acarology in Iran, List of agricultural pests and their natural enemies in Iran, A catalog of mites and ticks (Acari) of Iran and Injurious mites of agricultural crops in Iran” are four main works (Sepasgosarian 1977; Modarres Awal 1997; Kamali et al. 2001; Khanjani & Haddad Irani-Nejad 2006). Prostigmatic mites consist of parasitic, plant feeding and beneficial predatory species and is the major group of Acari in the world. Untill 2011, 26205 species were described in this suborder, of which 4728 species belong to the cohort Raphignathina and tetranychoid and raphignathoid mites include 2211 and 877 species respectively (Zhang et al.
