Iran is a country with an area of 1,648,198 Km 2 in the Middle East. When it comes to sun, there are 300 days of pure high UV sunshine in 95% of the country. There is a triangular great desert from center to the East of Iran, which due to its position receives a large amount of solar energy. Because this area is enclosed by the high ridge Alburz Mountains in the North, the Zagros Mountains in the West and the Makran Mountains in the East, there is no climate variability and also its geographi cal and environmental...

Costs are present in many daily decisions they take managers from lower hierarchical levels, but especially importa nt for strategic decision taken at top management level. The very adoption of certain strategies fo r the enterprise is based on analytical considerations which require methods of ec onomic and financial evaluation of projects, methods that can not be imagined outside costs. Allocation of resources to the enterprise are based on estimated costs, just as they and replacement of assets. Computation of ...

Some compounds especially sulphur dioxide (SO2) is considered as typical indicators of the urban air quality. To inform decisions re garding, for instance, the protection of public health from elevated SO 2 levels in Balikesir, high-resolution maps are necessary. Therefore, the main objectives of this paper were to: (1) analyze th e spatial distribution of SO2 levels using geostatistical techniques; (2 ) incorporate this in formation in a GIS to produce accurate SO 2. Geostatistics provides useful technique to get...

The object of this study is to locate the zones of groundwater discharge into the eastern shores of the Dead Sea. To achieve this object the electrical conductivity-temperature with a depth method was used. This study show ed that the Dead Sea divides into two layers relating to the electrical conductivity and temperature with depth. The upper layer subdivided into two members. The upper member extends from the sea surface down to a depth of 15-25 m. The lower member extends from a depth of 15-25 m to 40 m and it ...

A various range of remote sensors are currently available to help to explore a landscape and other natural components. The mainly part of this field is based on a small format aerial photographs (SFAP) taken from a small aircraft. The scienti fic benefit arises from the combination of knowledge achieved by conventional field work and the visual information gleaned from SFAP. In monitoring studies, temporal changes of forms and patterns give additional clues. The coupling of field data and interpretation of SFAP...

This research will address the important pr oblem of waste management sector for the Municipality of Prishtina. Rapid urbani zation has made solid waste management a serious problem today. The perception of the people has always been that it is a responsibility of the local government bodies. Local authorities are bound to keep their area clean. For some time now, many municipa lities, city corporations and industries have been experimenting with several innov ative and participatory methods of Reduce, Reuse and R...

A trans-regional project, WasteKIT, devoted on the economic development via waste management, based on knowledge and integration has been presented. The project puts together 18 different waste management related organizations from Sofia region (Bulgaria), Emilia Romagni region (Italy), Am sterdam region (Netherlands), Yorkshire and Humber (Great Britain) including resear ch and education organizations, SMEs and local authorities in order to e xpand the ambitions of region s with respect to regional economic devel...
