the effects of different levels (0, 10, 20 and 30 percentage of dry matter) of apple pomace ensiled with urea were investigated on 24 ghezel male lambs in a completely randomized design with four treatments and six replicates. the average starting weight and age of the lambs were 31.27 ± 7.40 and 187 ± 37 days, respectively. after 15 days of adaptation, the lambs were individually fed with expe...

for comparison the growth characteristics and quantitative and qualitative yield of two summer savory species (such as satureja khuzestanica and s. rechingeri) in response to rainfed and irrigated conditions, an experiment was carried out on the basis of split-plot design in completely randomized block design with three replicates in north of khuzestan during growing season of 2012-2013. irriga...

drought tolerances of 55 indigenous strains of pseudomonas fluorescens were evaluated. to assess the tolerance rate of the strains to various levels of water deficit, their growth rate in nb medium containing concentrations of 40.587, 438.838 and 548.838 g of polyethylene glycol 6000 per liter of medium were utilized. water potentials of aforesaid levels were estimated as 0, - 10, - 20 and -30 ...

introduction the historical experience of development process in developed countries revealed that rural development is a basic requirement for national development and that it should be considered and given high priority. accordingly in iran, the government also paid more attention to rural development in recent years. in this regard, different methods and approaches were implemented due to so...

rainfall and flow rate are of the most important climatic and hydrologic parameters whose investigation and determination of their behavior are of great importance in water resources management. one of the most suitable methods available for assessment of hydro-climatological conditions in the watershed is trend analysis which is used to examine the changes of a variable during time. current st...

introduction climate is a system consisting of atmosphere, lithosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. this system is involved in the exchange of energy and moisture among these five components. the exchanges link the atmosphere as the central component of the climate to other spheres. changes do not occur separately in this system; rather change in one component contributes to reactio...

this qualitative study was conducted to identify the factors and barriers of entrepreneurship development from the perspective of iranian entrepreneurs. in terms of purpose, this study is applied- developmental and it is performed via descriptive phenomenological method. qualitative content analysis was used to collect the data. the study population comprised of recorded interviews with the ent...

a synoptic method based on stream analysis is applied to understand the governing mechanism of summer rainfall occurrence in the south of iran. based on this, the rainfall data of 152 stations of iran were analyzed for a 33-year period (1970-2002). investigating the spatial and temporal distribution of summer rainfall, a typical rainy region is recognized in the south east of iran. it is found ...

in this research, temporal and spatial behavior of siberian high (sh) was studied at the level of 1000 h.pa. this study has been done using daily data of geo potential height at 12 gmt in ncep/ncar database with spatial resolution of 2.5ã—2.5 degree in a 55 years period including 20089 days from january, 1st, 1951(dey, 11th, 1329) to december, 31st,2005(dey, 10th,1384). at first, the mean geo p...

in this study, optimized adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (oanfis) was employed on a set of daily, weekly, 10-days and monthly data of inflow water into the alavian dam to predict the real-time inflow of the reservoir. sequential and exhaustive search algorithms were used to determine the numbers and time steps of the model inputs and also reducing the prediction’s errors. in sequential se...
