This study attempts to look into the energetic status of demersal fish species with their maturity stages and evaluate their energetic condition. Demersal fish species from wild were captured, total length and weight of each fish were measured and gonads were observed, weighted and collected with fish flesh. Gonadosomatic index, water content of gonad and flesh and gonadal and somatic caloric v...

laboratory studies were conducted to compare the relative fitness of clodinafop-propargyl herbicide resistant lolium rigidum accessions with their clodinafop-propargyl susceptible counterparts in 2014. factors evaluated were lolium populations at constant salinity stress (0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 ds cm2) and water stress (0, -3, -6, -9, -12 and -15 bar). the maximum germination in salinity stres...

cattle manure is made from liquid and solid waste. it contains the straw and stubble that is used for the cattle bed. density of the cattle manure is inherently low, which is difficult and costly to transport. pelleting is one method to solve this problem. the physical properties of the pelleted cattle manure was investigated in this study. the results showed that by increasing moisture content...

in this study, physiological and morphological responses of five almond cultivars to drought stress were investigated under in vitro conditions. plantlets from five commercial almond cultivars (supernova’, ‘tuono’, ‘sahand’, ‘ferragnes ’ and ‘shahroud 21’] were established in ms medium containing 0.5 mg per liter bap and then subcultured  in ms proliferation medium containing 1 mg per liter bap...

in order to study the effects of water deficit stress and foliar application of chitosan in safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.), a pot experiment was conducted in 2009. experimental design was a randomized complete block in factorial arrangement with three replications. experimental factors were water deficit levels (unstressed (control) and 70% available water depletion from soil (water defici...

various researches have been carried out about benefits of accounting information and their influence on decision making of financial statements users. for example, many researches have examined the relationship between accounting variables and stock returns or stock price. this study determines and compares the relative and incremental content of accounting variables, too. for this purpose, th...

The phospholipid headgroup composition and fatty acid composition of a gram-positive halotolerant Planococcus sp. (strain A4a) were examined as a function of growth temperature (5 to 35 degrees C) and NaCl content (0 to 1.5 M) of the growth medium. When the growth temperature was decreased, the relative amount of mono-unsaturated branched-chain fatty acids increased. When Planococcus sp. strain...

Laboratory studies were conducted to compare the relative fitness of clodinafop-propargyl herbicide resistant Lolium rigidum accessions with their clodinafop-propargyl susceptible counterparts in 2014. Factors evaluated were Lolium populations at constant salinity stress (0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 dS cm2) and water stress (0, -3, -6, -9, -12 and -15 bar). The maximum germination in salinity stres...

Water can be a major component of aerosol particles, also serving as a medium for aqueous-phase reactions. In this study, a novel method is presented to calculate the aerosol liquid water content at high relative humidity based on measurements of aerosol hygroscopic growth factor, particle number size distribution and relative humidity in the Haze in China (HaChi) summer field campaign (July–Au...
