Evaluation of multi-hazard map produced using MaxEnt machine learning technique.
2021
Abstract Natural hazards are diverse and uneven in time and space, therefore, understanding its complexity is key to save human lives and conserve natural ecosystems. Reducing the outputs obtained after each modelling analysis is key to present the results for stakeholders, land managers and policymakers. So, the main goal of this survey was to present a method to synthesize three natural hazards in one multi-hazard map and its evaluation for hazard management and land use planning. To test this methodology, we took as study area the Gorganrood Watershed, located in the Golestan Province (Iran). First, an inventory map of three different types of hazards including flood, landslides, and gul…
Función y sentido de los espacios de la corte en Tirant lo Blanch: aposentos privados, salas de consejo, huertos y espacios públicos del palacio
2008
En un artículo previo (Velázquez 2007), argumentaba que un análisis de la función y el sentido de los espacios en Tirant lo Blanch permitiría brindar una explicación sobre la caracterización y el desarrollo heroico anómalos que presentaba elprotagonista respecto de otras obras de género caballeresco. Dicho estudio estuvo basado en la propuesta teórica de Campos García Rojas (2002), y su propósito fue examinar la relación existente entre los espacios exteriores y el desarrollo heroico que se daba en dichos lugares. Este artículo aborda la problemática antedicha, enfocándose en la corte y sus espacios. Establezco un análisis funcional de los aposentos privados,las salas de consejo, los huerto…
Governing the Pandemic in Finland and Estonia
2020
In this article, we analyze the management and political implications of COVID-19 in two small countries located at the EU’s north-eastern border: Finland and Estonia. Culturally, ethnically, and linguistically, they share a common Finno-Ugrian identity. Politically, both are parliamentary republics run by coalition governments. They were among the first countries in Europe to reopen borders for travel in June 2020 after almost three months of lockdown. Both exhibited the lowest curves of viral spread in relation to the population among countries in the wider area. As they faced the pandemic, we saw that the exceptional measures they swiftly took did not diminish the democratic legitimacy o…
Reactions at Interfaces: Oxygenation of n-Butyl Ligands Anchored on Silica Surfaces with Methyl(trifluoromethyl)dioxirane
2011
The oxygenation of n-butyl and n-butoxy chains bonded to silica with methyl(trifluoromethyl)dioxirane (1) revealed the ability of the silica matrix to release electron density toward the reacting C(2)-H σ-bond through the Si-C(1) and Si-O(1) σ-bonds connecting the alkyl chain to the surface (silicon β-effect). The silica surface impedes neither the alkyl chain adopting the conformation required for the silicon β-effect nor dioxirane 1 approaching the reactive C(2) methylene group. Reaction regioselectivity is insensitive to changes in the solvation of the reacting system, the location of organic ligands on the silica surface, and the H-bonding character of the silica surface. Reaction rates…

Depression and anxiety disorders in a sample of facial trauma: A study from Iran.
2015
Background: Various studies have shown that such patients are susceptible to psychological problems and poor quality of life. The aim of the present study was to evaluate and compare the prevalence of depression and anxiety disorders and quality of life in a group of facial trauma. Material and Methods: In the present cross-sectional study Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Oral Health Impact (OHIP-14) questionnaires were used. In this study, fifty subjects were selected from the patients with maxillofacial traumas based on the judgment of the physicians, referring to hospitals in Kerman and Rafsanjan during 2012-2013. In addition, 50 patients referring to the Dental School fo…
Low-altitude outbreaks of human fascioliasis related with summer rainfall in Gilan province, Iran
2011
Following human fascioliasis outbreaks in 1988 and 1999 in Gilan province, northern Iran, efforts are now made to shed light on the seasonal pattern of fascioliasis transmission in this endemic area, taking into account snail host populations, climatic conditions and human cases. Populations of the intermediate host snail (Lymnaea spp.) peak in May and November, while there is a fourfold increase in the rate of human fascioliasis in February compared to that of September. Transmission is likely to occur mainly in late autumn and sporadically in late spring. Rainfall, seasonally analysed in periods of 3 years, indicates that accumulated summer rainfall may be related with the 1988 and 1999 h…
Regards documentaires sur la recherche francophone iranienne et perspectives pour Synergies Iran: de l'orientalisme au verbo-tonalisme
2020
C���est en portant nos regards sur le paysage ��ditorial francophone iranien directement visible en ligne que nous saluons la fondation de la revue Synergies Iran et la parution, en 2020, de son premier num��ro. Cette d��marche s���effectue dans un premier temps de fa��on globale, dans le but de rassembler des institutions et associations qui ��uvrent, chacune �� sa mani��re, depuis la 2�� moiti�� du XXe si��cle, pour la diffusion des ��tudes iraniennes. Puis dans un second temps, la d��marche se pr��cise afin de sonder les contenus scientifiques iraniens pr��sents sur le R��seau des publications du GERFLINT, Groupe d�����tudes et de recherches pour le fran��ais langue internationale fond��…
Development of injectable and durable kefiran hydro-alcoholic gels.
2020
Injectable, in-situ forming kefiran gels have been developed for potential applications as implantable drug delivery devices or scaffolds for tissue regeneration. Concentrated solutions (4, 5 and 6%w) of kefiran, extracted from kefir grains, have been assessed in term of viscosity and injectability through G26 syringe needles, and for their ability to undergo gelation upon mixing with different alcohols. Propylene glycol (PG) has been selected as gelling agent because it ensures homogenous gelation in relatively short times (from few minutes up to 6 h). The investigation of the rheological behavior of kefiran/PG gels varying polymer concentration and temperature (25 degrees C and 37 degrees…
Molecular characterization of fasciola spp. From some parts of Iran
2020
Background: Identification of liver flukes, Fasciola hepatica, and Fasciola gigantica by morphometric parameters is not always reliable due to the overlapping measurements. This study aimed to characterize the liver flukes of animals from different parts of Iran by the genetic markers, ITS1, and COXI. Methods: We collected flukes from infected livestock in six provinces of Iran from Sep to Nov 2016. The flukes were identified by amplification of a 680 bp sequence of ITS1 locus followed by a restriction fragment polymorphism (RFLP) assay. The genetic diversity among isolates was evaluated by amplification and sequencing of a 493 bp fragment of the COXI gene. Results: We obtained 38 specimens…
