the aim of the present research was to study the effect of different concentrations of rosemary (rosmarinus officinalis l.) extract, (0, 10, 12.5, 16.6, 25 and 50) mg/l added to semen extender, on sperm qualitative and quantitative parameters after freezing-thawing process of rooster sperm. 10 ross strain rooster were used. semen samples were collected, 2 times a week. after adding the samples ...

the effects of different levels (0, 10, 20 and 30 percentage of dry matter) of apple pomace ensiled with urea were investigated on 24 ghezel male lambs in a completely randomized design with four treatments and six replicates. the average starting weight and age of the lambs were 31.27 ± 7.40 and 187 ± 37 days, respectively. after 15 days of adaptation, the lambs were individually fed with expe...

effects of different paclobutrazol concentrations (0, 250, 350 and 450 mgl-1) and plantlet density (80, 100 and 120 plantlet/m2) on minituber production per plantlet in potato cultivar ‘sante’ were investigated in a factorial experiment based upon a randomized complete block design of 4 replications. paclobutrazol (cultar with 250 g/l of active ingredient) was used as foliar application at earl...

forest cover is one of the most effective factors in reducing flooding in northern iran, so that in recent years the destruction, land use changing and uncontrolled harvesting of forest areas, has greatly increased the number and magnitude of floods. so far, there have been few studies on forest hydrology in iran, particularly the northern hyrcanian forests. this study examines the impact of a ...

to design the equipment and facilities for preservation, storage and processing of pomegranate, it is necessary to know the specific heat and thermal conductivity of the fruit components. the specific heat of exocarp, mesocarp and of seeds of pomegranate were assessed at three moisture content levels (30, 50 and 76% for seed and mesocarp; 15, 35 and 52% for exocarp) and at four temperature leve...

the aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between air, noise, light and landscape pollution on job stress of staff work in high schools of different districts (1, 2, 10 and 11) of tehran. this stress can reduce the efficiency of the personnel. the number of people participated in this research was 250, selected by random from different schools of the districts. the questionnair...

the study of spatial and temporal changes in climate parameters, is one the most important issues in the world's climate research. study of changes in cloud cover as one of the most important climate parameters is important, because clouds are in top of hydrologic cycle and changes in them make changes in spatial and temporal variations in other climate parameters. in this study, the spati...

consequences of divorce, specially the negative ones, affect different sectors of society generally and become specifically important in gender development analysis and social policy, because of their especial influence on women’s lives. this article reviews the previous studies and published literature on after-effects of divorce in iran in a period between 1997 and 2011. based on an initial s...

water use efficiency is positively correlated with grain yield, and being used for indirect selection of high wheat yield in drought prone environments. yet little is known about genetic control of water use efficiency. in this research, a half diallel mating design was generated from crosses between 8 bread wheat to study the genetic of water use efficiency. parents and f1 progenies were plant...

to study the effects of different levels of water stress and nitrogen fertilizer on seed yield and yield components of two common bean genotypes (phaseolus vulgaris), an experiment in a split plot factorial based on crbd with four replications was conducted at the research farm of university of tehran (karaj-iran) in 2010. water stress treatments as the main factor included normal irrigation (6...
