extended abstract   introduction the most important indicator of climate in a region is vegetation community. climate can be different over large areas, because of changes in vegetation community. vegetation influences weather and climate in its surrounding areas mostly by way of evapotranspiration and albedo so they play a role in the earth’s energy balance. these effects on the earth’s energy...

introduction precipitation is one of the most important meteorological variables in comparison with other climatic parameters. it varies extremely over time and space. the occurrence of this climate phenomenon requires specific circumstances in environment. its accurate measurement is important to a wide range of decision makers including hydrologists, agriculturalists, industrialists and etc. ...

in order to determine the best traits related to indirect increasing of grain yield, five wheat genotypes (zagros, tajan, durum cul., kohdasht and n-81-18 line) were evaluated by using randomized complete block design (rcbd) with 4 replications in research field of gorgan university of agricultural sciences and natural recourses. the studied traits included leaf area index (lai), crop growth ra...

an action resulting from an object like human's damaging action can cause liability for those who possess them. the french civil law at its approval time (1804) had not predicted this principle and just in articles 1385, 1386, the liability of damages resulting from two types of objects, i.e. animals and buildings due to imposing great damages by them had been predicted by french law. howe...

to evaluate yield and productivity indices of maize and sugar beet intercropping with different planting ratios, a field experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design with three replication at hamedan province in nahavand, in 2013. the planting ratios were 100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75 and 0:100 (maiz: sugar beet) using replacement method. results showed that intercropping had signi...

theaim of the current study was to assess effects of different levels of origanum vulgare (0, 250, 500, 750 and 1000 mg/l) on kinetics of gas production, some ruminal digestion and fermentation parameters, methane production and also to determine its potential in controlling rumen acidosis using in vitro method in four separate phases. in the first phase, the asymptote of gas production (a) and...

in order to study the effects of four concentrations (check, 5, 10 and 15%) of hull extracts on growth of 10 iranian rice cultivars, two experiments were conducted in completely randomized block design with factorial arrangement and three replications at two sites, laboratory and greenhouse. laboratory study showed that same rice hull extracts had stimulat effects and the others had inhibitory ...

introduction: natural biomaterials and growth factors are key factors in tissue engineering. the objective of the present study was to evaluate transforming growth factor beta 1 (tgf-β1) and curcumin on proliferation and differentiation of nasal-derived chondrocyte seeded on the fibrin glue scaffold. methods: chondrocytes were isolated from nasal samples. nasal-derived chondrocytes were seeded ...

drought is one of the most important environmental factors which limit the growth of woody plants. iran is located in arid and semi-arid area therefore the growth and cultivation of ornamental trees and shrubs were limited. for this purpose, effect of foliar-applied salicylic acid and/or spermidine (0, 100, 500 and 1000 µmol) on reduce drought stress injuries of one-year seedlings ofosage orang...

the moe and mor are controlled by production variables of particleboard process. now, the basic question is which of the particleboard variables is effective on bending strength property? 13 variables of internal scientific resources were measured with 100 repeats. the study steps include the following; liner regression or stepwise, genetic algorithm, and artificial neural network. the number o...
