introduction climate change happens due to abnormal changes of climate within the earth’s atmosphere and their consequences. one of the most significant effects of climate change is the irreversible damage to some floral species and forest ecosystems. tree species reflect the impact of climate changes on their ring width. generally, tree rings vary in size each year depending upon the environme...

background and objectives: soybean (glycine max l.) is the most important oil crop having the largest area under cultivation in the world. every year, water stress causes great damages on crops in the world, particularly in iran with arid and semi-arid climate so application of materials such as zeolite in soil can reduce the adverse effects of water stress. however, the effect of zeolite in in...

the aim of this study was to design orally disintegrating tablets of olanzapine and to complex olanzapine with 2-hydroxypropyl-β- cyclodextrin with special emphasis on disintegration and dissolution studies. phase solubility studies demonstrated the formation of 1:1 molar inclusion complex by kneading method. tablets were prepared by using superdisintegrants namely, sodium starch glycolate, cro...

an efficient, simple and convenient route is described for the synthesis of biscoumarin (3,3'-(arylmethylene) bis (4-hydroxy-2h-chromen-2-one)) by using of recyclable catalyst tio2@ksf. in this method, we synthesis biscoumarin derivatives via 3multi-component reactions (3mcrs) of two equivalent 4-hydroxycoumarin with one equivalent of aromatic aldehydes using 20 mg nano tio2@ksf as homogen...

the present paper is concerned with the structural characteristics and contents of the russian resistance poets from the outset up to the end of the world war ii, 1941-1945. regarding the linguistic and literary structures of the resistance poetry of this period, such features as changes in the lexical structure of poems, outspokenness, proximity of poetry to slogans can be easily observed. sem...

activities of thirty bacterial strains obtained from plants rhizosphere in different areas against phytophthora drechsleri were assessed through in vitro and greenhouse experiments. dual culture and extracellular metabolites tests were used in in vitro assays. the bacterial strains inhibited growth of p. drechsleri, the highest inhibition zones was belonged to t17-4 strain with 61.904% in dual ...
