according to importance of environmental resource in natural ecosystem preservation and human life, restriction of destruction is necessary. miankaleh wetland in mazandaran province is settlement of animal and herbaceous rare species and due to migration of birds therefore, this research will discuss determination of preservation value in miankaleh international wetland and measure of individua...

although individuals knowledge and awareness toward natural resources, especially wetlands had been increased but still social consideration level toward wetland importance, functions and sensitivity are low. considerable amount of wetlands destruction caused by miscalculation of wetlands functions’ values in a market condition. estimating the value of wetland’s function is a way in order to un...

Many techniques have been reported earlier in open literature in the area of digital image enhancement. In this paper, a novel approach is presented which improves the accuracy and minimizes the blurring effect with edge preservation. The work involved construction of a new filter using weighted average method, an edge filter and a combiner. The new filter thus constructed has been tested and e...

in order to improve the quality and the possibility of fresh pistachio exports , the impact of different harvest time on storage of ‘ahmadaghaii’ pistachio was investigated. in 2011, pistachios harvested at three stages of fruit ripening (40, 70 and 100 percent of hulling) in hulling fresh, fresh without hulling and dried pistachio packaged in pulpy bag and held in two-temperature storage (1 ± ...

the study was conducted to determine the effect of varying protein levels and preservation method on external egg qualities of japanese quails. a total of 180 birds were randomly allotted into three dietary treatments in a completely randomized design (crd) replicated six times. a factorial arrangement of 3 × 4 × 4 which involves 3 protein levels (15, 20 and 25% crude protein), 4 storage method...

This study aimed to determine the effect of gamma radiation on the preservation of phenolic compounds and on decontamination of dry herbs in terms of ochratoxin A (OTA) and aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), using Aloysia citrodora Paláu as a case study. For this purpose, artificially contaminated dry leaves were submitted to gamma radiation at different doses (1, 5, and 10 kGy; at dose rate of 1.7 kGy/h). P...

The primary studies in a meta-analysis of standardized mean differences generally include a mixture of single-factor t tests and multifactor analysis of variance designs. Accordingly, there is a need for effect-size measures in multifactor designs that are metrically comparable with measures in single-factor t tests. Two models, the variance-preservation model and the variance-reduction model, ...
