the discovery of the antifertility activity of gossypol led scientists and researchers to the development of compounds with antifertility activity that can be used as male contraceptives. these studies resulted in discovery of the antifertility activity of several classes of compounds which have been reported in the literature. this article deals with the synthesis of four new analogues of pyri...

harvesting of sour cherries is very difficult task which is done either by machine or hand. in order to facilitate fruits harvesting ethephone with different densities is used. in this research work iranian produced ethephone with density of 1.18 g/cm3 and england produced ethephone with density of 1.45 g/cm3 was utilized with different concentration (0, 150, 225 and 300) in a 2×4 factorial exp...

japan is a region of active plate tectonics, well known for its japanese trench a geological feature evolving as a result of north pacific (np) oceanic plate pushing and sub-ducting underneath the north american (na) plate. multiple plate tectonics have been continuously recorded in the region since 1979 by the network of gps stations called geonet. the network operating and monitoring more tha...
