Cerebral language lateralization can be assessed in several ways. In healthy subjects, functional MRI (fMRI) during performance of a language task has evolved to be the most frequently applied method. Functional transcranial Doppler (fTCD) may provide a valid alternative, but has been used rarely. Both techniques have their own strengths and weaknesses and as a result may be applied in differen...

This article presents the results and validation of a comprehensive, multi-decadal, hindcast simulation performed using the New York Harbor Observing and Prediction System ́s (NYHOPS) three-dimensional hydrodynamic model. Meteorological forcing was based on three-hourly gridded data from the North American Regional Reanalysis of the US National Centers for Environmental Prediction. Distributed h...

the objective of this study was evaluation of salt tolerance of elite forage sorghum lines in laboratory and field conditions. salinity treatments were 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 decisimens per meter in laboratory and distilled water as control. lines were kfs1, kfs2, kfs3, kfs4, mfs1, mfs2 and lfs56. the lines also cultivated in saline and non saline field conditions during 2004-2005. electrical co...

environmental stresses, such as salinity can play an important role in disturbing different stages of plant growth, development, and especially seed germination in arid and semiarid regions in iran. turf grasses are highly dissipation in areas associated with saline soils and/or saline irrigation water. in order to study the effects of salinity on turf grasses germination, an experiment was con...

Soil salinity is one of the most important abiotic stresses limiting crop growth and production worldwide. Some microorganisms can improve plants’ tolerance to salinity. For this purpose, a greenhouse experiment was performed understand influence various on soil biological indices wheat under different saline conditions. The factors varied in were microbial treatment (rhizobacteria, mycorrhizal...

Salinity is an ever-increasing problem in agriculture worldwide, especially in South Asia (India, Pakistan) and Australia. Improved genotypes that are well adapted to saline conditions are needed to enhance and sustain production in these areas. A screening of 263 accessions of chickpea, including 211 accessions from ICRISAT’s mini-core collection (10% of the core collection and 1% of the entir...

background and objectives: primary and secondary soil salinity is one of the main reasons of land degradation and desertification in arid and semi-arid zones. change detection of salt-affected soils, aides finding salt distribution and salinization trends. present study was arranged for monitoring soil salinity status of agricultural lands located on southern part of bakhtegan lake in fars prov...

With the increased interest in studying the sea surface salinity anomaly (SSSA) of the tropical Indian Ocean during the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), an index describing the dipole variability of the SSSA has been pursued recently. In this study, we first use a regional ocean model with a high spatial resolution to produce a high-quality salinity simulation during the period from 1982 to 2014, fro...
