Effects of Hall current, ion-slip and Coriolis force on unsteady MHD Couette-Hartmann flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid through a porous medium bounded by porous plates in the presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field which is either fixed relative to the fluid or to the moving porous plate is investigated using Laplace transform technique. The expressions for...

this study was conducted to evaluate changes in antioxidants, free proline, relative water content and determination of root colonization of four commercial wheat (triticum aestivum l.) cultivars (azar2, darab2, shiraz, and falat) inoculated with the fungus glomus intraradices, under four water regimes of 100, 75, 50, and 25% of field capacity in the year 2010 at the school of agriculture, shir...

it is very important to test and evaluate the performance and ability of new-design machinery in comparison with available ones. based on this, a tractor front-mounted rice reaper was compared and evaluated with tiller- mounted and self-propelled reapers. field experiments were conducted to determine forward speed, field capacity, harvesting losses, labor and costs. experiments were conducted b...

An increasing number of studies around the world are showing that a long-held assumption rock fragments (RFs) inert with respect to water retention is incorrect. Yet very few pedotransfer functions (PtFs) account for held by RFs or effect have on fine earth. The PtFs incorporate content (WC) relied upon measurement methods may not be representative field conditions. This indicates gap in resear...
