The use of plant growth hormones and beneficial microorganisms, could reduce the drought damage. The purpose of this study was to investigate the treatment with salicylic acid and inoculated with mycorrhizal fungi at different levels of irrigation on flax growth. A factorial experiment based on randomized complete blocks design with 3 replications was performed in growth chamber of college of a...

Water stress is a global crisis and is considered a serious threat for agriculture. Superabsorbent polymers, through improving soil physical conditions, prevent moisture stress in arid and semi-arid areas. To evaluate the effects of a natural superabsorbent (bentonite) and a synthetic superabsorbent (A200) on growth of lettuce, a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with four ...

Abstract Background and Objectives There is a circadian rhythm and diurnal variation in the redox capacity in blood plasma and there is a decrease in antioxidant capacity (TAC) during the RBCs storage in blood banking. So it is possible that donated blood, based on donation time, has a different antioxidant capacity and as a result a different biochemical response during storage. This study at...

Nowadays, airline industries should overcome different barriers regarding the fierce competition and changing consumer behavior. Thus, they attempt to focus on joint decision making which enables them to set pricing and capacity allocation to maximize their profits. In this research, we develop a model to optimize pricing and capacity allocation in a duopoly of single-flight leg for two competi...
