phosphorus induces flowering and helps seed formation, but there is a big gap between phosphorus supply from natural sources and agriculture and industry demand. in order to investigate phosphorus feeding over long time from iran regions' apatites on rose plants characteristics, var. black magic in zeoponic culture, an experiment was conducted as factorial on the basis of completely random...

Triclosan is an antimicrobial agent that is currently incorporated into hundreds of consumer and medical products. It can be either a bacteriostatic or bactericidal agent, depending on its formulation. It has activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, as well as some viruses and protists. The purpose of this study was to determine whether triclosan-resistant bacteria could be is...

Bioremediation is a cost-effective and sustainable approach for treating polluted soils, but our ability to improve on current bioremediation strategies depends on our ability to isolate microorganisms from these soils. Although culturing is widely used in bioremediation research and applications, it is unknown whether the composition of cultured isolates closely mirrors the indigenous microbia...

Traditional methods to quantify Verticillium species in soil rely on the growth of the fungus in semi-selective agar media. Estimates of soil populations from these plating assays are known to vary between methods and researchers. Yet, until recently, traditional assays could only be compared with each other in order to assess their accuracy. Recently, a mint isolate of Verticillium dahliae was...

"Granular elasticity," useful for calculating static stress distributions in granular media, is generalized by including the effects of slowly moving, deformed grains. The result is a hydrodynamic theory for granular solids that agrees well with models from soil mechanics.

Back ground and Objective: Dermatomycosis are caused by attacking keratinophilic fungi to the human’s or animals’ in keratinic layers. In this study the resources of fungal infection pollutions of dermatophytes existing in the soil of Babol Medical University’s Hospitals have been investigated. Materials and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was performed on the soil of Hospital y...

Steady-state and transient one-dimensional unsaturated flow in vertically stratified porous media are examined. Saturated hydraulic conductivity and the alpha parameter of the exponential hydraulic conductivity function were assumed to vary from soil layer to soil layer. The use of effective unsaturated hydraulic conductivity to compute matric potential in the soil profile is demonstrated. Resu...

This study presents the application of artificial neural network for modeling the phenolic compound migration through vertical soil column. A three layered feed forward neural network with back propagation training algorithm was developed using forty eight experimental data sets obtained from laboratory fixed bed vertical column tests. The input parameters used in the model were the influent co...
