Soil microbial biomass plays an important role in nutrient transformation in terrestrial ecosystems. Microbial biomass is also an early indicator of changes in total soil organic carbon. Thus, the main objective of this study was to identify and quantify the present status of soil microbial biomass carbon and nitrogen with various management practices in Himalayan rangeland. To meet the aforeme...

today special attention has been paid to the microbial quality of medicinal plants.one of the operations in order to maintain the quality of plants is drying which may also affect the quantity and quality of the essential oil. in order to evaluate drying process effect in peppermint,the experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design with 4 treatments and 3 replications. the treatm...

statement of problem: rotary dental instruments (i-e. iow speed and high speed handpieces), due to infection spread high potentiality, should be sterilized between dental visits for each patient. when a high speed rotary instrument pauses at a high velocity, contaminated fluids like blood and saliva will be sucked into its tubes.purpose: the aim of this study was to compare the bactericidal eff...

The method of solute permeability coefficient and solute fluxes appointment for the membrane, based on monitoring of changes of conductivity of electrolyte solutions was presented. It was stated that during mechanical stirring of solutions the coefficient of NaCl permeability for microbial cellulose membrane (Biofill) did not depend on configuration of the membrane system and concentrations of ...

weirs have widely been used for the flow measurement, flow diversion and its control in the open channels. attempts have been made to study flow over different shapes of normal weirs, side weirs and oblique weirs. this paper is connected with the development of the discharge coefficient measurement. in the present study four different weirs in different height are considered for validation purp...

rumen is a persistent and specific ecosystem consists of bacteria, protozoa and fungus where feed fermentation takes place in it. produced hydrogen in rumen can be used in the synthesis of the volatile fatty acids and the microbial protein and its excess would be eliminated through the production of methane by methanogenesis. nutritionists have tried to find ways to decrease loss and energy and...

Random coe cient regression models have been applied in di erent elds and they constitute a unifying setup for many statistical problems. The nonparametric study of this model started with Beran and Hall (1992) and it has become a fruitful framework. In this paper we propose and study statistics for testing a basic hypothesis concerning this model: the constancy of coe cients. The asymptotic be...
