conclusions four major dietary patterns were identified in the present studied population that can be used to provide tangible dietary advice for the elderly. results four major dietary patterns were identified in the studied population: 1) healthy pattern, characterized by a higher intake of vegetables, tomato and tomato sauce, vegetable oil, olive, and fruits; 2) unhealthy pattern, characteri...

The availability and accessibility of water and nutrients to plants, and the interactions of roots with soil, continue to be subjects of active research. Hiltner's insight that there was a volume of soil, the rhizosphere, over which the roots had influence, and in which a range of processes occurred, was a major advance in thinking. Soil science, though, took some time to incorporate this notio...

for investigation deficit irrigation and nitrogen application effect on nutrients uptake of henna ecotypes, this research was conducted in the form of split-split-plot on the basis of randomized complete block design with four replications in the research field of islamic azad university, jiroft, iran in 2013-2014. the main, sub and sub-sub plot were deficit irrigation (100, 75 and 50% of crop ...

abstract in order to evaluate the influence of nitrogen application and duration of weed interference on corn (zea mays l.) yield and yield components, a field study was conducted in 2004 at the ferdowsi university of mashhad research field. the experimental design was a randomized complete block with a factorial treatment arrangement replicated three times. nitrogen fertilizer was applied at r...

background: investigating the performance of naturally operated treatment plants may be due to the fact that they cannot be operated as desired, or that they should be modified to achieve good performance e.g. for nutrients removal. the advantage of kinetic coefficient determination is that the model can be adjusted to fit data and then used for analyzing alternatives to improve the process. th...

occurances of cyanobacterial bloom typically appear in eutrophic lakes which either have been affected by anthropogenic nutrient loading or are naturally rich in nutrients. microcystis blooms have been reported all over the world in freshwater ecosystems mainly due to increased population which results in increased the waste water production. the aim of this study was to recognize the basic re...
