in order to investigate the efficacy of split, reduced and whole rates of oxyfluorfen in controlling redroot pigweed (amarnthus retroflexus) and also to evaluate possible soybean (glycine max) injuries a experiment was conducted in research greenhouses of karaj collage of agriculture, university of tehran in 2005. treatments included oxyfluorfen doses at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1 l/ha in one stage ...

background:   objective: to determine and compare uteroplacental circulation and obstetrics complications in pregnant women with pcos treated with metformin, aspirin and control group.   materials and methods: 105 pregnant women with pcos were enrolled in this study after assessing uterine artery pulsatility index (pi) with doppler ultrasonography at 12 weeks of gestation. the patients were div...

typically, two configurations are used for energy harvesting, with different advantages: piezoelastic and piezomagnetoelastic. best performance of piezoelastic configuration is limited to its narrow bandwidth around the resonance frequency. if the excitation frequency slightly deviates from the resonance frequency, the power-out is severely reduced. to overcome this, the piezomagnetoelastic has...

intra-specific variation in responses of diurnal and long-term photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, chlorophyll fluorescence, and respiration in spring wheat (triticum aestivum l.) to salinity was investigated using two tolerant cultivars (cr and kharchia-65) and a sensitive one (ghods). plants were grown in sand culture in controlled environment at selected levels of salinity (5 as control, 1...

Introduction: Synaptosomes are sealed particles that contain mitochondria, cytoskeleton and vesicles which are necessary to synaptic events like neurotransmitter release and uptake in the nervous system. However, the effect of high and low temperatures on synaptosome membrane integrity and function during a time course after its extraction is less known. The purpose of this study was to assess ...

Solar sailing is a proposed means of space propulsion in which a reflective surface collects momentum from solar photons to accelerate a vehicle. The current trend within the solar sailing community is to increase sail size as solar sailing technologies advance, allowing for larger payloads and higher accelerations. However, with the miniaturization of modern payloads, sail sizes can be dramati...

This paper investigates a class of Lagrangian control systems with n degrees-offreedom (DOF) and n − 1 actuators, assuming that n − 1 virtual holonomic constraints have been enforced via feedback, and a basic regularity condition holds. The reduced dynamics of such systems are described by a second-order unforced differential equation. We present necessary and sufficient conditions under which ...
