bitter asafetida (ferula asa-fetidae l.) is a wild plant of the family umbelliferae. the present study was carried out to determine the type of dormancy of the plant’s seed, and find out the most suitable treatment needed for quick germination of seeds. twelve treatments including ga3 (500, 1000, 1500 ppm), kno3 (0.1, 0.2 0.3 molar), rinsing (24, 48, 72 hour),elimination of seed coat (one year-...

three hundred and fifteen day -old chickens were used to test the relationship between oxygen-derived free radicals and the biochemical, hematological and pathological alterations(associtd with ascites). they were randomly divided into three experimental groups and ascites were developed in two groups of animals by exposing them to low temperature or administration of triiodothyronine (t3,), an...

to compensate for some inferior properties of recycled papers, application of processing chemical aids such as chitosan can be quite effective in the wet end section of papermaking. in this study, the performance of chitosan biopolymer, individually or associated with nanobentonite was investigated as wet end additive on recycling process of white cuttings. for this purpose, the performance of ...

in this study, precipitated calcium carbonate (pcc) was modified using cationic starch, and its effect on optical and physical properties of paper was examined in comparison with unmodified filler afterwards. to determine the filler retention in paper, both modified and unmodified fillers were added to pulp suspensions by 20, 30, and 40 percentages. for comparing the utilization effect of modif...
