Mold powders used in the continuous casting of steel contain the harmful CaF2 as a main substance developing toxic gases such as SiF4 and HF at elevated temperatures. In this study, three samples of I1, I2 and I3, which contained gypsum free Portland cement clinker with different percentages of Fe2O3 (5.68, 6.83, 8.02 ...

Early cone formation is a consistent issue in Fraser fir Christmas tree plantations the eastern United States. Growers must remove cones by hand, resulting significant labor costs, as degrade aesthetic value of trees. In this study, we conducted two series experiments collaboration with several farms to determine effectiveness applying plant growth regulators (PGRs), specifically GA-inhibitors,...

In this study, moisture content, free fatty acids, peroxide, iodine value, unsaponifiable matter, saponification value, fatty acid composition and tocopherol contents of wheat germ oil obtained by SC-CO2 extraction and cold press technology were investigated. Moisture, free fatty acid (FFA), peroxide value, iodine value, unsaponifiable matter and saponification value of cold pres...

Milk fat globule size is determined by the size of its precursors-intracellular lipid droplets-and is tightly associated with its composition. We examined the relationship between phospholipid composition of mammary epithelial cells and the size of both intracellular and secreted milk fat globules. Primary culture of mammary epithelial cells was cultured in medium without free fatty acids (cont...

Soil water, salinity and nitrogen content are three major factors affecting crop production in arid and semi-arid areas. This study was performed in two years of 2009 and 2010 in a semi-arid area in order to investigate the effects of irrigation water quantity (as main plot), quality (saline water, as sub-plot), nitrogen fertilizer (as sub-sub plot) and their interactions on growth and yiel...

     The aim of this study was to evaluate aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) contamination in pasteurized milk samples in Mashhad, Iran. One hundred and ten milk samples from different supermarkets were collected during three months in spring and investigated by Enzyme Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay (ELISA). AFM1 was found in 100% of the milk samples. About 5.4% of the samples c...
