the objective of the present study was to optimize awettable powder formulation for twoiranianbtstrains (yd5 and kh4) in order to enhance efficiency and durability as biological agent against lepidopteran and coleopteran pests.mass production of the mentioned strains was done in a batch fermentor based on the peviouselyoptimized economical medium and fermentation conditions, and the final conce...

music consumption is a new topic in the academic literature, but the consumption of music itself has been part of human culture for centuries and all human more or less listen to it in order to fill their leisure time. marketers always find it challenging to identify the best way for selling music which at the same time can be accepted by different consumers, too. so, we tried to investigate th...

to evaluate symbiotic effectiveness and salt tolerance of sinorhizobium meliloti strains, 50 rhizobial strains were isolated from root nodules of medicago sativa cultivated in tehran and zanjan fields. under n-free conditions, the symbiotic effectiveness of different sinorhizobium meliloti strains of bami cultivar were evaluated under greenhouse conditions using 50 sinorhizobium meliloti strain...

in order to study the interrelations of photosynthetic rate and surfaces and leaf proline content with yield and yield components of safflower under different irrigation regimes, a field experiment in a split plot arrangement under a ranomized complete block design with four replication was performed at lavark reasrch farm, isfahan university of technology, isfahan, iran in 2007. two irrigation...

mechanical damages inflicted upon seeds in harvesting, handling and further subsequent processes are worth attention because they unfavourably influence the quality of seed. seed damage results in lower grain value, storage problems, and reduced seed germination and seedling vigor, resulting in a subsequent diminishing yield of future crops. the present experiments were conducted to determine t...

accurate estimation of reference evapotranspiration plays a key role in water resources management and irrigation scheduling. the fao penman-monteith (f-p-m) is a reference method for calculation of evapotranspiration that needs temperature, humidity, wind speed and solar radiation. in many stations, it is not an easy task to measure the whole weather variables. thus, in this situation, one mus...

deficiency of water resources is one of the major challenges at the global scale and also in iran. the existence water resources of oceans and seas such as the caspian sea and persian gulf in the north and southern parts of iran respectively, can be considered as the alternative to dominate the future problem. this study is processed absorption of nacl based-on natural zeolite and perlite. in o...

in this study artificial neural network (ann) was used for modeling of wastewater treatment plants with using. for this purpose, the base of the quality parameters measured at the plant input, plant output value was predicted. neural network input data, including temperature (t), biochemical oxygen demand (bod), chemical oxygen demand (cod), total suspended solids (tss), total solids (ts) and p...

patients and methods in a quasi-experiment trial, 40 type 2 diabetic patients were asked to consume 50 g of cpj daily for 4 weeks. anthropometric indices, dietary intake, blood pressure measurements, and fasting blood samples were conducted at baseline and 4 weeks after the intervention. results the intake of cpj produced a significant increase in both total and high-density lipoprotein cholest...

nowadays soil contamination with heavy metals is considered as one of the most serious environmental concerns. among the heavy metals, lead due to inverse impacts on human health and substantial environmental problems causes major concern.this study was carried out with the aim of assessing the ability of different corn cultivars in a greenhouse condition for the accumulation of lead metal. tre...
