In this survey adsorption of some heavy metals such as cobalt and lead on montmorillonite and montmorillonite/copper oxide nano-composite is reported. Adsorption percent and adsorption capacity were studied under different conditions such as pH concentration of metal ions amount of clay and interaction time. The results show that an increase in absorption percent and absorption capacity wit...

this study was conducted to determine the effects of the combined use of rain shelters (rs) and deficit irrigation (di) on tomato yield and quality characteristics. two experiments with different treatments were conducted in the southern china during the growing season in 2011 and 2012. the crops were irrigated to field capacity once average soil water content at the 0-60 cm layer in the treatm...

Water deficit is one of the most important difficulties, in which happes in dry zone and half dry zones.Water deficit, as the determinative factor, determinates the growing and extension of the plant cover inthese areas. Using the supper attractive, may reduce the production in the crops and control the plantcover in face of dry stress and water deficit. In this paper, the effect of supper attr...

Composite couple beams are the concrete elements consisting of longitudinal bars and steel plate, therefore suitable for shear transferring in couple shear walls with arranged gates in its height. In this paper, after modeling couple beams with and without steel plates with F.E methods and calibration the models with experimental results, effects of parameters such as thickness, height, length ...

Methods Twenty boys with ICPP were treated with GnRHa for (20. 0 ± 6. 1) months. At the beginning of therapy, mean chronological age and bone age was(11. 4 ± 1. 0) years and(13. 0 ± 0. 4) years, respectively. GnRHa was discontinued when the boys reached the chronological age and bone age of (13. 2 ± 1. 1) years and (13. 7 ± 0. 6) years, respectively. At the conclusion of the study, all the boys...

Methods Serum levels of E2, NT proCNP, insulin like growth factor 1(IGF1), NMID Osteocalcin(OC) and carboxy-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of type I collagen (b-CrossLaps) were measured in healthy 57 girls at different pubertal stages, and in 13 girls with ICPP at the beginning and the end of 6 month and 12 month of GnRHa treatment. Height velocities of the 13 ICPP girls in each 6 months be...

chelating resins based on polyacrylonitrile and diethylenetriamine (pan-dta) wereprepared through the simple reaction of polyacrylonitrile with various volume percents ofdiethylenetriamine (dta), (25, 50, 75 and 100). the prepared resins were applied to removeheavy metal ions such as cu(ii), zn(ii) and cd(ii) from aqueous solutions. the sorptionbehaviors of the resins for these metal ions were ...

INTRODUCTION Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is accepted as the gold standard treatment for renal stones that are smaller than 2 cm. Recently, retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) has been introduced as another form of treatment. We report our experience in dealing with renal stones smaller than 2 cm using RIRS as the primary treatment and following failed ESWL. METHODS A retrosp...

in order to study the effects of drought stress and organic fertilizers (compost and vermicompost) on some physiological and biochemical characteristics of borage, an experiment with complete randomized block design in split plot arrangement with three replications was conducted in zabol university, zabol, iran. the treatments included 3 levels of stress as a witness or 100% of field capacity, ...
