The purpose of this study is to determine the woody species diversity in Sweet chestnut tree, Hazel-tree and Italian cypress ecosystems in the Guilan forests. A lozeng 0.5 ha sample plot was selectively established on each site. In the Sweet chestnut ecosystems , 4 sites were classified, whereas 10 sites of Hazel tree and Italian cypress ecosystems were classified based on species composition. ...

In 1930 Amako reported that as cultures of Serratia marcescens grew old their color changed from red to dark violet. He postulated that the change was associated with the pathway of pigment formation in the microorganism. Weiss (1949) observed a similar color change. Colonies growing on agar were orange-red in color at the end of 24 to 48 hr, but as they grew older the color changed to red-purp...

Effects of oxytetracycline (OTC) on the functional diversity of soil microbial community with or without vegetation were analyzed in a 7-week greenhouse pot experiment by use of Biolog-Eco plate. Results showed that along with the increase of OTC, average well color development (AWCD) values increased with the peak at 200 ppm OTC, and the utilization of sugar and its derivatives enhanced. The S...

background and objectives:medicinal plants, today it is one of the most important agricultural products. progress in the field of medicinal plants is one of the most important goals at the moment is the agricultural sector. although medicinal plants in our country has been very little attention, but the increasing importance of these plants around the world, today, has attracted the attention o...

In this paper, we argue that the metaphor form of a comparison (i.e., a topic-vehicle pair) is preferred over, and more comprehensible than, the simile form when the interpretive diversity for that comparison is high. Interpretive diversity refers to the richness of the figurative meaning of a comparison; it is high to the extent that more features or properties are related to the figurative me...

A study was designed to compare the color components and color stability of red wine from Noble (Vitis rotundifolia) and Cabernet Sauvignon (Vitis vinifera) at four pH levels (2.8, 3.0, 3.3, 3.8). Noble browned to a much greater extent and lost more color after 10 and 16 months than did Cabernet, and Noble did not increase in chemical age (level of polymeric anthocyanin) to nearly the extent th...

BACKGROUND Cold-water coral reef ecosystems are recognized as biodiversity hotspots in the deep sea, but insights into their associated bacterial communities are still limited. Deciphering principle patterns of bacterial community variation over multiple spatial scales may however prove critical for a better understanding of factors contributing to cold-water coral reef stability and functionin...
