High-resolution airborne laser scanner data offer the possibility to detect and measure individual trees. In this study, an algorithm which estimated position, height, and crown diameter of individual trees was validated with field measurements. Because all the trees in this study were measured on the ground with high accuracy, their positions could be linked with laser measurements, making val...

urtica dioica l. is an iranian native pharmacological plant for which little attention has been paid to the anatomical structure. medical applications of this plant include diabetes therapy, digestive improvement, anemia and kidney disease therapy. because climatic conditions can affect the anatomical structure which in turn affects pharmacological compositions, research on the anatomy of this ...

In trees, water and sugars are transported by xylem and phloem conduits which are hydraulically linked. A simultaneous study of both flows is interesting, since they concurrently influence important processes such as stomatal regulation and growth. A few mathematical models have already been developed to investigate the influence of both hydraulically coupled flows. However, none of these model...

knowledge of the stand condition and the gradual replacement of tree species in different development stages and phases provide appropriate information related to the close to nature treatments. stem exclusion phase is one of the important development phases in the forest stands development. the aim of study was to analyze the characteristics of dead trees in the stem exclusion phase in the les...

in this research, the effect of using vermicompost on growth rate, fertility and characteristics oftomatoes has been studied. four vermicompost: soil mixture were supplied with ratios of 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, and 1:4 and also four different beds were provided. total of 24 small globe tomato plants were tested and in each bed combination, six tomato plants were embedded. rate of growth and yielding of ...

Left main stem coronary artery dissection is a rare cause of sudden death. This occurred in a previously asymptomatic 42-year-old white woman; clinical, arteriographic, and necropsy findings are described. Extrathoracic total body perfusion with isolated catheter perfusion of the dissected coronary artery using cold cardioplegic solution may be effective preoperative treatmemt.

BACKGROUND: Super absorbent polymers (SAP) by increasing the capacity of water storage and nutrition materials, reduction of wasting water and evaporation from the surface of soil improve crop production under water stress condition. Bio-fertilizers have the significant advantages to chemical fertilizers; for instance, they do not produce toxic and bacterial substances in the f...

Two experiments were conducted to characterize changes associated with ontogenetic aging in coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) and to identify possible maturation "markers" for this species. In the first experiment (Experiment 1), scions of ages 1, 4 and 9 years were collected from four seed zones in field progeny tests and grafted onto 1-year-old rootstocks. In Experime...
