a trial study was set to assess the influence of the plant residue management in conjuction with application of different nitrogen sources on accumulation and translocation of wheat stem reserves, at the agricultural faculty of shahid chamran university of ahvaz during 2011-2012. the experimental design was split plot at randomized completed block design arrangement. the main plot were differen...

Background: Protein flexibility, which has been referred as a dynamic behavior has various roles in proteins’ functions. Furthermore, for some developed tools in bioinformatics, such as protein-protein docking software, considering the protein flexibility, causes a higher degree of accuracy. Through undertaking the present work, we have accomplished the quantification plus analysis of the varia...

kefiran, extracted from kefir grains, is a water-soluble, glucogalactan containing almost equal amounts of d-glucose and d-galactose residues. throughout this research, kefiran and xanthan were added at concentrations of 3% (w/w flour basis) to two wheat dough samples to investigate the effects on the rheological and physical properties of french bread. physicochemical properties of wheat and i...

A reliable, rapid and accurate method based on spiked calibration curves and direct sample introduction was developed for determination of 17 pesticide residues in rice by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry single quadrupole selected ion monitoring GC/MS-SQ-SIM. Sample preparation is based on extraction with acetonitrile without clean up. The use of spiked calibration curves for constructing...

Objective: The usage of pesticides has increased during the recent years. One the other hand, presence of harmful pesticides residue in rice and other food has caused a great concern among the consumers. Therefore, it is important to develop some pragmatic procedures to increase the food safety along with the reduction in consumption of pesticide residues. Methods: A gas chromatograph with elec...

This paper identified the factors influencing the rice crop residue burning decision of the farmers and the potential of the burnt residue to generate electricity. For this study, data were collected from 400 farmers in the rice-wheat cropping system. Effects of different variables on the burning decision of rice residue are investigated through logit model. A number of factors had significant ...
