an investigation of chlorophyll quick fluorsence variations was made in the reaserch field of islamic azad university- karaj in 2007. the experimental design was a split plot one in form of a complete randomized block design with 4 replications. drought stress was cosiderded in three levels of 40%, 60%, and 75%, on the basis of depletion of soil moisture as the main factor and the factor of mic...

the mill moth, ephestia kuehniella zeller and indian meal moth, plodia interpunctella (hubner) are two injuriously important pests of stored products worldwide. harobracon hebetor (say) has been used as a biological control agent of moth’s larva in peanut storehouses and as well in packaged cereal products. in the present study, the efficacy of h. hebetor in parasitizing larva of the mill moth ...

in this study two intelligent systems, based on adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems (anfis) and artificial neural networks (anns) of forecasting municipal solid wastes (msw) generation has been proposed. anfis and anns as an intelligent tool compared with together was used to monthly prediction of msw generated in tehran. monthly amount of solid wastes (sw), total monthly precipitation, mont...

zagros forests are a treasure of various valuable species of oak in iran and the world. long-term misuse in the past has caused severe degradation in the zagros forests. recently these forests have become national but misuses by local people to make living because of poverty and unemployment are continued. in order to reduce degradation and improve sustainability, ecological capability for exte...

in this study the impact of freezing rate and degree of pre-fermentation on sangak frozen dough and its bread was assessed. the pre-fermentation was between zero and 120 min and the corresponding secondly fermentation was between 120 and 0 min, respectively, to obtain total fermentation time of 120 min. the pre-fermentation dough was formed in flat shape and frozen under -20, -25 and -30 °c. it...

the genus eremostachys (lamiaceae), consists of about 60 species which 15 species of eremostachys grow wildly in the north-west of iran. the rhizomes and roots of e. laciniata have traditionally been used as a local analgesic and for the treatment of rheumatic diseases and pain in the feet. this experiment was conducted in the north-west of iran in 2012-2013, to evaluate morphological diversity...

drought tolerance of three own-rooted grape cultivars (rashe, ghezil uzum and red sultanina) was evaluated at four different levels of soil moisture contents (40, 60, 80 and 100% field capacity through a factorial experiment based on a randomized complete block design with three replications for a duration of 3 months. results revealed that, grape cultivars, levels of soil moisture and the inte...

the purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of nanosilver colloid as a new antimicrobial agent against erwinia in tissue culture of sugar beet for the recovery of the contaminated doubled haploid plantlets. the nanosilver colloidal solution of 4000 ppm was diluted in different concentrations (0, 50, 75, 100 and 125 ppm) and was added to the solid ms medium. in a factorial experim...
