drought stress is the most important factor that reduces yield in crops including chickpea and causes some changes in seed composition. this study was performed in order to evaluate the effects of drought stress and starter nitrogen fertilizer on four cultivars of chickpea. experiment was performed in a split-factorial using randomized complete block design with three replications. drought stre...

introduction: human embryonic stem cells (hescs) are pluripotent cells that can proliferate and differentiate to many cell types. their electrophysiological properties have not yet been chracterzed. in this study, the passive properties (such as resting membrane potential, input resistance and capacitance) and the contribution of delayed rectifier k+ channel currents to the membrane conductance...

Ceramic membranes are considered as alternatives for their polymeric counterparts due to highmechanical strength and thermal resistance; thus long lifetime. Usually, asymmetric ceramicmembranes are synthesized including several layers with different pore size distributionswith the top-layer playing the main separation role. Titania has several properties such asphotocatalytic activity and chemi...

objective(s) physiological changes in the body may be utilized as potential triggers for controlled drug delivery. based on these mechanisms, stimulus-responsive drug delivery has been developed. materials and methods in this study, a kind of poly (n-isopropylacrylamide-acrylamide) membrane was prepared by radical copolymerization. changes in swelling ratios and diameters of the membrane were i...

an important part of carbon cycling is carried out in the soil making land use changes, including changes in forestlands, affect soc storage and consequently co2 flux into the atmosphere.the aims followed in this investigation were to study the impacts of conversion of deciduous forests to coniferous ones and deforested land to rangelands, on some of the soil physicochemical properties, organic...
