  • Mauro Berruto Presenta La World League 2013 Degli Azzurri
    Mauro Berruto presenta la World League 2013 degli azzurri Modena. La nazionale seniores maschile è pronta ad affrontare l’intensa stagione 2013, un’annata che sarà caratterizzata da quattro manifestazioni: World League, Giochi del Mediterraneo, Campionati Europei e Campionati del Mondo Under 23. Il primo impegno sarà proprio la 24esima edizione della World League, storica manifestazione che quest’anno si presenta con un format rinnovato. Il numero delle formazioni partecipanti è stato infatti allargato a 18 suddivise in tre pool (A,B,C). Oltre al numero di squadre, diverso sarà anche la formula della manifestazione che non prevede più il doppio incontro di andata e ritorno, ma due match nello stesso paese con le squadre più alte nel ranking che giocheranno tre turni in casa e due in trasferta. Sei i week end di gara della Fase Intercontinentale prima della Final Six in programma a Mar del Plata, in Argentina dal 17 al 21 luglio. Proprio la riveduta formula di gioco permetterà agli azzurri di tornare a giocare in diverse piazze del Paese: Firenze, Torino e Modena sono città abituate ad ospitare grandi manifestazioni internazionali mentre Sassari è l’assoluta new entry della manifestazione. Savani e compagni, inseriti nella pool B, saranno impegnati con Russia, Cuba, Serbia, Germania e Iran. Il debutto per i ragazzi di Berruto sarà il 7 giugno a Modena (ore 20.30) contro i tedeschi, sfida che sarà replicata il 9 (ore 18) a Torino. Sempre nel capoluogo piemontese il 14 (ore 20) sarà la volta di Italia-Cuba, incontro che due giorni dopo si terrà a Firenze (ore 20).

Corresponding author: E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Barbus miliaris was described in 1863 by De Filippi on the basis of three specimens collected from the endorheic Namak Lake basin (a stream near Tehran). But it was later assigned to the subspecies of Barbus lacerta, B. cyclolepis or Luciobarbus mursa. Here, we revalidate and re- describe it. Barbus miliaris is distinguished from the other species of Barbus by having more scales along the lateral line (69-87, mode 77 vs. 50-66, mode 57 in B. cyri; 52-66, mode 61 in B. lacerta) and 80-95% of the posterior margin of the last unbranched dorsal-fin ray covered with denticles (vs. 60-70%). Barbus miliaris is also distinguished from B. cyri by having more predorsal scales (37-47, mode 42 vs. 24-34, mode 29); a narrower upper lip (its width 4-6 vs. 7-9 %HL). In B. miliaris, the maxillary barbel is longer than that of the others (26-41 vs. 12–32 %HL in other species, not reaching to posterior eye margin vs. reaching in B. lacerta).

  • Travel to Tehran-Iran
    Travel to Tehran-Iran ABOUT IRAN- HISTORY & HERITAGE The plateau of Iran is among the oldest civilization centers in the history of humanity and has an important place in archeological studies. The history of settlement in the Plateau of Iran, from the new Stone Age till the migration of Aryans to this region, is not yet very clear. But there is reliable evidence indicating that Iran has been inhabited since a very long time ago. Settlement centers have emerged close to water resources like springs, rivers, lakes or totally close to Alborz and Zagross mountains. After the decline of the Achievement dynasty, and the destruction of Persepolis by Alexander, his successors the Seleucid dominated over Iran for a short period of time. During this time the interaction between Iranian and Hellenic cultures occurred. Around the year 250 BC, the Parthians, who were an Aryan tribe as well as horse riders, advanced from Khorassan towards the west and south-west and founded their empire over Iran Plateau in Teesfoon. This empire survived only until the year 224 AD. The Sassanian, after defeating the last Parthia n king in 225 AD, founded a new empire which lasted until mid-7th century AD. With respect to its political, social, and cultural characteristics, the ancient period of Iran (Persia) is one of the most magnificent epochs of Iranian history. Out of this era, so many cultural and historical monuments have remained inPersepolis, Passargadae, Susa (Shoosh), Shooshtar, Hamadan, Marvdasht (Naqsh-e-Rostam), Taq-e- bostan, Sarvestan, and Nayshabur, which are worth seeing. The influence of Islam in Iran began in the early 7th century AD after the decline of the Sassanide Empire.

  • The Freshwater Fishes of Iran Redacted for Privacy Hs Tract Approved: Dr
    AN ABSTRPCT OF THE THESIS OF Neil Brant Anuantzout for the degree of Dcctor of Philosophy in Fisheries presented on 2 Title: The Freshwater Fishes of Iran Redacted for Privacy hs tract approved: Dr. Carl E. Bond The freshwater fish fauna of Iran is representedby 3 classes, 1 orders, 31 familIes, 90 genera, 269species and 58 subspecIes. This includes 8 orders, 10 families, 14 generaand 33 species with marine representatives that live at least partof the tixne in freshwater. Also included are one family, 7 genera,9 species and 4 subspecies introduced into Iran. Overhalf the species and nearly half the genera are in the family Cypririidae; over75% of the genera and species are in the orderCypriniformes. The fish fauna may be separated into threemajor groups. The largest and nst diverse is the Sannatian Fauna,which includes the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan, Lake Bezaiyeh, Rhorasan,Isfahan, Dashte-Kavir, and the four subbasins of the Namak LakeBasins. Of the fish found in Iran, 14 of 31 earnilies, 48 of 90 genera,127 of 269 species and 46 of 58 subspecies are found in theSarmatian Fauna. Endemisa is low, and nstly expressed at the subspecific level.The fauna contains marine relicts from the Sannatian Sea and recentinmigrants with strong relationships to the fishes of Europe, the Black Seaand northern Asia. The marine relicts are absent outside the Caspian Sea Basin, where the fauna is best described as a depauperate extensionof the Caspian and Aral Sea faunas. The second major fauna is the Nesopotamian Fauna,and includes the Tigris and Euphrates river Basins, the Karun1iver Basin, and the Kol, nd, Maliarlu, Neyriz and Lar Basins.
