rashe grape cultivar grows in kurdistan province in rain fed conditions. microclimate conditions have a great effect on grape berry quality. information about changes in grape berry composition in the relation to climate changes is limited. in order to measure the effects of slope and altitude on some grape berry chemical composition, a study was conducted on grape cv. ‘rasheh’ in university of...

The aim of this study was to assess the regional effects of fire on the surface cover and forage production of mountainous rangelands of Delfan County, Lorestan province, Iran. The fire took placed in June 2007 with significant effects on the vegetation characteristics in the study area. Four fire affected sites were selected for sampling and a close area without fire was considered as control....

A case-control study of 132 possum capture sites was used to identify habitat factors associated with the probability of capturing TB possums. Two unconditional logistic regression models were produced. Slope of the land and factors associated with the quality of dens were associated with the probability of capturing multiple TB possums. Slope of the land, height of trees, percent cover of vege...

Pulmonary arterial pressure-flow relation was studied in 142 patients with artrial septal defect (ASD) and was compared with that of 139 patients with ventricular septal defect (VSD) and was compared with that of ductus arteriosus (PDA). The incidence of pulmonary arterial mean pressure (PAm) over 25 mmHg was 21 percent in ASD, 36 percent in VSD and 43 percent in PDA, and that over 40 mmHg was ...

OBJECTIVES The study sought to compare the relative discrimination of various cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX) variables between cardiac and respiratory disease. BACKGROUND CPX testing is used in many cardiorespiratory diseases. However, discrimination of cardiac and respiratory dysfunction can be problematic. Anaerobic threshold (AT) and oxygen-uptake to work-rate relationship (VO2/WR ...

Integrating a geographic information system and multi-criteria decision making methods have been lead to provide spatial multi-criteria decision making methods. In this study, the spatial potential of flooding was determined based on analytic network process and analytic hierarchy process. At first, six factors of flooding were determined as criteria. The criteria were the slope, hill-slope asp...

introduction: the modis facility for the earth observing system is a key element that supports ambitious goals related to studying the earth as a system. one of the modis products is high quality land surface temperature data that product in terra and aqua platforms. knowledge of the lst provides information on the temporal and spatial variations of the surface equilibrium state and is of funda...
