degradation of natural habitats and decreasing of genetic diversity of populus caspica led to vast reduction of its regeneration and growth potential in north of iran. hence, the growth potential of mass-produced seedlings was compared with their parents. for this purpose, the ramets of three selected seedlings from 17 parent trees belonging to north of iran, along with ramets of their parent t...

--Total height, annual height growth, root collar diameter, total number of branches and total number of buds around the leader bud were recorded at age 6. The experimental material was included 136 half-sib families originating from stone pine natural populations from the Carpathian Mountains. Population samples were included in a randomized complete block experiment with four replications and...

indian ber (ziziphus mauritiana) has growing type as grape and is inclined to horizental and down ward growth. if it is not trained appropriately, it would grow into very bushy with thiny shoots. hence, such trees have short lives, and are liable to pests and diseases with low yield. fruit harvesting is also difficult in bushy trees. therefore, proper pruning and training of young trees is esse...

in order to investigate effects of plant density and fertilizer rates on agronomic characteristic and yield tobacco (nicotiana tabacum) (cv k326) an experiment was conducted in the experimental field of tirtash research and education center. design of experiment was randomized complete block with factorial arrangement with three replications and 36 treatments conducted in 2007 year. treatments ...

We study the uniqueness and robustness of acoustic signatures in the cosmic microwave background by allowing for the possibility that they are generated by some as yet unknown source of gravitational perturbations. The acoustic pattern of peak locations and relative heights predicted by the standard inÑationary cold dark matter model is essentially unique, and its conÐrmation would have deep im...

The objectives of this study were to obtain biomechanical responses of post mortem human subjects (PMHS) by subjecting them to two moderate-speed rear impact sled test conditions (8.5g, 17 km/h; 10.5g, 24 km/h) while positioned in an experimental seat system, and to create biomechanical targets for internal and external biofidelity evaluation of rear impact ATDs. The experimental seat was desig...

BACKGROUND Fabrication of complete dentures requires the use of certain guidelines which are placed on the bite blocks to assist the clinician to have the maxillary anterior teeth restored to optimal dento-labial relations, in harmony with the overall facial appearance. OBJECTIVE To explore if any relationship exists between dental and facial proportions as well as the height of the individua...

In volleyball, blocking is highly correlated with team success. The identification of specific techniques that produce a more successful block would be helpful knowledge for coaches and players. This study compared the traditional, swing, and "chicken wing" blocking techniques in combination with the running step footwork pattern in order to determine which technique enabled athletes to perform...

In order to study effects of nitrogen fertilization and cultivars on some of traits of different barley an experiment was conducted at Isfahan in 2012. The experimental was split plot in a randomized complete block design with three replications. In this experiment, different levels of nitrogen in the main plots included four levels (0, 50, 100 and 150 N kg/ha (urea)) and barley cultivars inclu...

Knowledge of genetic diversity and relationships between genotypes is mainly important for selection of parental genotypes. Moreover, assessing diversity across and within crop varieties is important to improve the description of collections in gene banks and in on-farm conservation practices. In order to evaluation and study of genetic diversity in the bean in normal condition, forty-five bean...
