cadmium is a heavy metal with a strong adverse effect on crop quality. moreover, it is a mobile element in environment and plants can easily uptake and transfer it to their organs. cadmium can easily enter human and animals food chains and threatens their health. to study the effects of a water soluble polymer and inoculation with mycorrhizal fungi on cadmium uptake of clover grown on contamina...

fue to the importance of selecting imaging parameters in magnetic resonance brain angiography, this study was carried out to choose optimum theoretical and experimental parameters for improving image controast and resolution and achieve shorter imaging time for practical reasons.a 1.5t super conductive magnet mri with gradient power of 13 nt/m and larmour frequency of 63 mhz with imaging coli o...

in this trial, the effect of different levels of echum amoneum (ea) (0.3, 30, 300 or 3000 µl) on in vitro ruminal fermentation characteristics and methane production was assessed. the parameters studied were in vitro gas production (ivgp), methane production, ammonia (nh3-n) concentration, in vitro organic matter degradability (ivomde), partitioning factor (pf) (the ratio of substrate truly deg...

this study was conducted to evaluate consumption inputs, production costs, nutrient composition and performance in production of alfalfa hay and alfalfa silage. therefore, data on alfalfa hay production were collected from 75 farms in zanjan province, using a face to face questionnaire in the year 2012. a systematic random sampling method was used. then, two farms managed by silage harvesting s...

agricultural products are affected by static and dynamic forces at different stages of harvesting, handling and processing. in most cases, the damages are inflicted upon raw products. in the present study the mechanical properties of tomato fruits were found out for two cultivars (super bta and petoerly ch), during 4 periods of time (1, 5, 10 and 15 days past harvest), and at two levels of frui...

the functional response is an important characteristic of predator–prey interactions that determinate which predator species or stage classes of predator is the most effective for pest control. host plant morphological characteristics are the effective factors on predator’s functional response. the objective of this study was to determine whether differences in trichome density of wheat cultiva...

We define when a linear-time temporal property is a fairness property with respect to a given system. This captures the essence that is shared by most fairness assumptions that are used in the specification and verification of reactive concurrent systems, such as weak fairness, strong fairness, kfairness, and many others. We give three characterisations for the family of all fairness properties...

artemisia annua is a medicinal annual herb that widely distributed in asia, europ, north america, and also is grown in north reagions of iran. in this study, variation in the quantity and quality of the essential oil of a.annua apical shoots at different developmental stages including vegetative, early flower opening and full flowering stages is reported. the obtained oils by hydrodistilation o...

hybrid rice varieties are potentially higher yielding than the best inbred varieties and perform better under adverse conditions of drought and salinity. one of the major impediments for seed production of hybrid rice is incomplete panicle exsertion in the cytoplasmic male sterile lines. the unexserted spikelets which are left inside the flag leaf sheath remain unfertile. this research was focu...
