Exploiting renewable energy sources is one of the main strategies defined by EU to overcome dependence on foreign markets for supply. Wood fuel sourced from agroforestry sector can contribute significantly achieving goal, though its economic and environmental sustainability intimately dependent proper harvesting chipping operations. In present article, both aspects Medium Rotation Coppice (MRC)...

anise hyssop is a prennial herb belonging to the lamiaceae family. essential oil of this plant is used in food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics industries as well as flavoring liqueurs. since water stress affects the growth, productivity, as well influences the active principles governing medicinal plants, in this research the effect of different water deficit stresses on such morphological traits a...

Detailed 3D plant architectural data have numerous applications in plant science, but many existing approaches for 3D data collection are time-consuming and/or require costly equipment. Recently, there has been rapid growth in the availability of low-cost, 3D cameras and related open source software applications. 3D cameras may provide measurements of key components of plant architecture such a...

Background and Aim: High chipping rates of the veneering porcelain in zirconia ce-ramic restorations have been reported in many clinical studies. However, information on the bonding behavior of veneering porcelain to zirconia and lithium disilicate frameworks is limited. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the bond-ing strength of porcelain veneering to zirconia, lithium disilicate, nicke...

Plant spacing and nitrogen are the most important factors for increasing tuberose quality and quantity. In this study, field experiment carried out as factorial Randomized Completely Block Design (RCBD) in 3 replications. Different levels of nitrogen (0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 kg/ha) of ammonium nitrate was used. Second factor was different plant spaces (10, 15, 20 and 25 cm). Results showed th...
