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.

Each species is presented with its authors, place of publication, synonyms, description, host plants and geographic distribution. A key to the 16 genera, to which these smuts belong, and keys to the species within each genus are given. There is also a host plant – smut fungus index. The following six species are known only from Iran: Anthracoidea songorica, Entyloma majewskii, Tilletia rostrariae, Tranzscheliella iranica, Urocystis behboudii and Urocystis phalaridis. Key words – Biodiversity – Iran – parasitic microfungi – smut fungi – synonyms – Ustilaginomycetes Introduction A short history of the knowledge of the Iranian smut fungi Mycology in Iran started in 1830 with the report of Parmelia esculenta (Goebel 1830).

  • River Water Quality Zoning: a Case Study of Karoon and Dez River System
    Iranian J Env Health Sci Eng, 2004, Vol.1, No. 2, pp.16-27 Mohammad Karamou et al: River Water Quality… River Water Quality Zoning: A Case Study of Karoon and Dez River System *M Karamouz 1, N Mahjouri 2, R Kerachian 3 1School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Amirkabir University, Iran 2 Faculty of Environmental Engineering, University of Tehran, Iran 3Dept. of Civil Engineering, University of Tehran, Iran ABSTRACT Karoon-Dez River basin, with an area of 67000 square kilometers, is located in southern part of Iran. This river system supplies the water demands of 16 cities, several villages, thousands hectares of agricultural lands, and several hydropower plants. The increasing water demands at the project development stage including agricultural networks, fish hatchery projects, and inter-basin water transfers, have caused a gloomy future for water quality of the Karoon and Dez Rivers. A good part of used agricultural water, which is about 8040 million cubic meters, is returned to the rivers through agricultural drainage systems or as non-point, return flows. River water quality zoning could provide essential information for developing river water quality management policies. In this paper, a methodology is presented for this purpose using methods of c -mean crisp classification and a fuzzy clustering scheme. The efficiency of these clustering methods was evaluated using water quality data gathered from the monitoring sampling points along Karoon and Dez Rivers. The results show that the proposed methodology can provide valuable information to support decision-making and to help river water quality management in the region. Keywords: Fuzzy Clustering, Data classification, Water quality zoning, River systems, Karoon, Dez INTRODUCTION water quality control projects.

The purpose of the present study was to describe morphological and morphometrical characteristics of male Trichostrongylus species, currently prevalent in domestic ruminants of Khuzestan Province, southwest Iran. Methods: Gastro-intestinal organs of 1600 sheep, goats, cattle, and buffalos, slaughtered in Khuzestan Province, southwest Iran, were examined for infectivity with Trichostrongylus species. For examination and measurements of helminthes, Azo-carmine staining was per- formed, followed by camera lucida drawings of morphological characters and measurements of morphometrical criteria with a calibrated microscope. Using valid nematodes systematic keys, almost all the parasites were identified at the level of species.

COAD * Beaty Centre for Species Discovery, Canadian Museum of Nature, Ottawa, Ontario, K1P 6P4 Canada. *Email: [email protected] Abstract: The systematics, morphology, distribution, biology and economic importance of the East Asian minnows of Iran are described, the species are illustrated, and a bibliography on these fishes in Iran is provided. There are five species, all exotics, in the genera Ctenopharyngodon (1 species), Hemiculter (1), Hypophthalmichthys (2) and Mylopharyngodon (1), variably introduced throughout Iran for fish farming and, in the case of Hemiculter, accidentally. Keywords: Morphology, Exotics, Ctenopharyngodon, Hemiculter, Hypophthalmichthys, Mylopharyngodon. Citation: Coad B.W. 2020. Review of the East Asian minnows of Iran (Family Xenocyprididae). Iranian Journal of Ichthyology 7(1): 1-67. Introduction There is a wide trophic variation in this family The freshwater ichthyofauna of Iran comprises a which includes piscivores (not in Iran), omnivores diverse set of about 297 species in 109 genera, 30 (Hemiculter leucisculus), phytoplanktivores families, 24 orders and 3 classes (Esmaeili et al. (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), zooplanktivores 2018). These form important elements of the aquatic (H. nobilis), macrophytic grazers (Cteno- ecosystem and a number of species are of pharyngodon idella), and durophagous molluscivores commercial or other significance. The literature on (Mylopharyngodon piceus) (Tang et al. 2013). These these fishes is widely scattered, both in time and are small to very large fishes (2m, over 70kg).

  • Signatures of the Balarud Deep Seated Fault Zone in Khushab Anticline, SW Iran, an Integrated Study
    Journal of Sciences, Islamic Republic of Iran 22(1): 33-49 (2011) http://jsciences.ut.ac.ir University of Tehran, ISSN 1016-1104 Signatures of the Balarud Deep Seated Fault Zone in Khushab Anticline, SW Iran, An Integrated Study H. Hajialibeigi,1,* S.A. Alavi,1 J. Eftekharnezhad,2 M. Mokhtari,3 and M.H. Adabi 1 1Department of Geology, Faculty of Science, Shahid Beheshti University, Tehran, Islamic Republic of Iran 2Geological Survey and Mining Exploration of Iran, Tehran, Islamic Republic of Iran 3International Institute of Earthquake and Seismology, Tehran, Islamic Republic of Iran Received: 16 March 2010 / Revised: 26 September 2010 / Accepted: 28 February 2011 Abstract The Khushab anticline is located in the Zagros fold-thrust belt in the Lurestan. This anticline is affected by the Balarud fault zone, which is a part of Mountain Front Fault between the Lurestan and Dezful Embayment zones. Based on the measurement of the elements of fold style, this anticline is analyzed. According to these measurements, this anticline is a noncylindrical, asymmetrical and disharmonic fold. The anticline is a z-fold and verges slightly to the southwest. The tightness and bluntness of folding suggests that fold is gentle to close and subangular respectively. Broad to wide is suggested as disccriptive term of the aspect ratio. Based on Ramsay's classification the fold is subclass 1B to 1C. The field observations, seismic profiles, cross-sections, analyses of the geometric parameters and comparison of the anticline with the fault-related fold models suggest the anticline as a detachment fold that is probably sheared by this zone.
