due to the important role of subsurface drainage in managing the ground water level, there are many researches focused on finding a new and more economic way to develop subsurface drainage technologies. lack of proper drainage system in northern iran has caused huge implantation of rice and it is impossible to have second implantation in this region. one reason of insufficiency of current drain...

The larval parasitoid, Psyttalia cf. concolor (Szépligeti), reared on Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Weidemann), by the USDA-APHIS-PPQ, Guatemala City, Guatemala, was imported into California for biological control of olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae (Gmelin), in olives, Olea europaea L. Mean percentage parasitism of olive fruit fly third instars infesting fruit in field cages ra...

Moringa oleifera, a tree indigenous in tropical and sub-tropical areas, has been widely used in water purification in many low-income regions such as Africa, India, and Asia. Its seeds are known to contain proteins that possess coagulating and antimicrobial properties but its use in water treatment is compromised by the corelease of soluble organics in the seeds. These organics can serve as foo...

1. The glycaemic response of healthy males to potato, bread, rice and green gram (Phaseolus aureus Roxb.) was compared with that to meals equivalent to these foods in terms of carbohydrate, protein, fat and fibre content, but made up of maize flour, casein, maize oil and ispaghula husk. 2. Natural foods led to a higher postprandial glycaemia than their respective equivalents, but the difference...

−− The objective of this work was to synthesize zeolitic products using rice husk ash (RHA) as silicon source. For the synthesis, two mineralizing agents: NaOH and KOH were tested. Chemical composition of the synthesized samples as well as their cation exchange capacity (CEC) were determined. The samples were also characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). ...

Rice Husk Ash (RHA) of three different particle size ranges (50 – 75 μm), (75 – 100μm) and (100 – 150μm) in 3, 6, 9 and 12 % by weight was reinforced with the aluminium alloy using stir cast route. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the fabricated composites were analyzed. The results reveal that the tensile strength, compressive strength and hardness of the aluminum alloy composit...

In this present study, A356.2 Al/Rice hush ash (RHA) metal matrix composites (MMCs) were fabricated by vortex method. Different weight fractions of reinforcement were used to fabricate the composites. Scanning electron microscope equipped with energy dispersive Xray analyzer is used for micro structural characterization. The properties like density, hardness, and ultimate tensile strength were ...

Cement is a binding material, a substance that sets and hardens independently, and can bind other materials together. In ancient civilization the binding materials were of traditional type such as jaggery, lead, jute, rice husk etc, now in modern civilization cement is main binding materials. The use of concrete containing high volume fly-ash has recently gained popularity as a resource efficie...
