one of the most famous horticultural exporting products of iran is saffron. at present, the main region for the production of saffron is the northeast region of iran (khorasan-e razavi and southern khorasan provinces). the present research intends to survey the suitable areas for cultivation of saffron in the west of iran (kermanshah and kurdistan provinces) which, in the climatic conditions, i...

For projectivizations of rational maps Bellon and Viallet defined the notion of algebraic entropy using the exponential growth rate of the degrees of iterates. We want to call this notion to the attention of dynamicists by computing algebraic entropy for certain rationalmaps of projective spaces (Theorem6.2) and comparing it with topological entropy (Theorem 5.1). The particular rational maps w...

Determining of chilling and heat requirements of olive cultivars growing in Fars Province is important for the selection of cultivars that will exhibit satisfactory growth and development. The purposes of this study were determining the chilling and heat requirements of olive and comparison of Utah and Positive Utah Chill unit (PCU) models for determining the chilling requireme...

If, in some cataclysm, all of scientific knowledge were to be destroyed, and only one sentence passed on to the next generations of creatures, what statement would contain the most information in the fewest words? I believe it is the atomic hypothesis (or the atomic fact, or whatever you wish to call it) that all things are made of atoms—little particles that move around in perpetual motion, at...

Global warming induced rise in ambient temperatures would significantly impact the space heating and cooling (H/C) energy requirements buildings. This investigation assessed of global on H/C eight major Indian cities covering all county’s climate zones. By using historical weather records general circulation model outputs, we quantified (1969–2017) future (2018–2100) trends annual mean together...

The European pear is a climacteric fruit species characterised by high storability. ‘Conference’ can be stored in CA (controlled atmosphere) room without major losses for half year. However, storage to successful, the must harvested when fully developed before it enters climatic maturation phase. Among various methods used determine optimal harvest date, degree-day method, which relies on sum o...
