soil compaction is one of the most prevailed limitations for crop growth. the use of organic matters as fertilizer on agricultural soils can reduce the effects of soil compaction and provide the nutrients for the plants. so, a factorial experiment was carried out in a randomized complete blocks design with three replications. the first factor was the source and amount of organic fertilizer (far...

the effect of different ratio of vermicompost (0, 10, 20, 30, 40 & 50 %) in two type of substrate (coco peat and coco peat-perlite (50:50 v:v)) on growth characteristics of gooseberry (physalis peruviana l.) seedling was investigated in research greenhouse of university of tehran, in 2013. a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with four replications was carried out. crite...

background: mycobacterium (m.) bovis is the agent of bovine tuberculosis (tb) in a range of animal species, including humans. recent advances in immunology and the molecular biology of mycobacterium have allowed identification of a large number of antigens with the potential for the development of a new tb vaccine. the esat-6 and cfp-10 proteins of m. bovis are important structural and function...

objective: previous studies showed that grape seed extract (gse) is an excellent natural substance with potent antioxidant effect and free radical scavenger. this study aimed to evaluate the effect of gse on motor dysfunctions and thalamic local electroencephalography (eeg) frequency bands' powers in rats with parkinson's disease (pd). materials and methods: in this study 8 µg 6-hydro...

in order to evaluate the effects of ethephon and nitrogen fertilizer on sweet sorghum cv. sofra, an experiment was conducted as split plot on a randomized complete block design with three replications at agricultural research station of isfahan university (isfahan, iran). experiment was conducted with four nitrogen levels (0, 100, 200 and 300 kg urea ha-1 from urea with 0, 46, 92 and 138 kg nit...

objective(s): neuroinflammation and oxidative stress play a key role in pathogenesis of parkinson’s disease (pd). in the present study we investigated the effect of reactive oxygen species (ros) scavenger wr-1065 on catalepsy and cerebrospinal fluid (csf) level of interleukin 6(il-6) and striatum superoxide dismutase (sod) activity  in 6-hydroxydopamine (6-ohda) induced experimental model of pd...

sixty eight holstein cows, 38 primiparous and 30 multiparous, were employed in a randomized complete block design to evaluate the effects of 2 diets of varied rumine fermentable carbohydrate sources (corn grain (cg) and wheat grain (wg)) on blood metabolites and hormones during periparturint period. primiparous and multiparous cows were blocked by parity. the cows were fed diets as total mixed ...

background: an amount of artificial radionuclide has been released into the environment as fallout, resulting from atmospheric nuclear weapon tests, nuclear accidents such as chernobyl and together with air currents have polluted the world. materials and methods: 37 surface soil samples of tehran province were collected in the period between june and september 2008, by implementing methods and ...
