japan is a region of active plate tectonics, well known for its japanese trench a geological feature evolving as a result of north pacific (np) oceanic plate pushing and sub-ducting underneath the north american (na) plate. multiple plate tectonics have been continuously recorded in the region since 1979 by the network of gps stations called geonet. the network operating and monitoring more tha...

introduction atmospheric circulation patterns leads to different weather conditions and rainfall regime change is controlled by seasonal and irregular variations of atmospheric circulation pattern. variety and climate change, such as drought and flood result in changes in the spatio-temporal of precipitation, one of the important parameters conditions mentioned, heterogeneity in moisture transm...

precise application of the n fertilizer rate is critical to achieve maximum yield. in major regions, empirical methods were used for determining n fertilizer requirement. these methods cannot take into account variation in management and environmental conditions on determining fertilizer requirement. crop simulation models can provide an alternative means of determining the optimum crop n requi...

selenium is an essential trace mineral and has a profound impact on immune function, health and productive performance. an experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary selenium in different levels on performance and humoral immunity in broiler chicks. male broiler chicks (arbor acres, 1-d old, n= 225) were randomly assigned to 3 treatment groups of 5 replicates each including 15 ...

application of various composts has been intensified in agriculture, due to manifestation of negative effects of chemical fertilizers on environment and soil fertility. however, their usage should be accompanied by environmental and nutritional studies. to study the effects of sulfur granular compost on yield and yield components of two wheat cultivars, a pot experiment was conducted in a compl...
