odontogenic myxoma (om) is an infiltrative benign bone tumor that occurs almost exclusively in the facial skeleton. the radiographic characteristics of odontogenic myxoma may produce several patterns, making diagnosis difficult. cone-beam computed tomography (cbct) may prove extremely useful in clarifying the intraosseous extent of the tumor and its effects on surrounding structures. here, we r...

Mangrove soils with high organic carbon (Corg) content are likely to contain Corg that is vulnerable remineralization during land use changes. conversion different uses might deplete soil stocks causing variable dioxide emissions, but the extent of these emissions and fraction (i.e., labile or stable/recalcitrant) mostly lost poorly understood. Here, we study mangrove degradability its suscepti...

The ratio of organic mass (OM) to organic carbon (OC) in PM(2.5) aerosols at US national parks in the IMPROVE network was estimated experimentally from solvent extraction of sample filters and from the difference between PM(2.5) mass and chemical constituents other than OC (mass balance) in IMPROVE samples from 1988 to 2003. Archived IMPROVE filters from five IMPROVE sites were extracted with d...

There is a limited understanding of solute transport properties of degraded peat soils as compared to mineral substrates. A lower organic matter (OM) content is often the result of peat degradation and mineralization following artificial drainage. In this study, we aimed at deducing changes in solute transport properties of peat soils differing in OM content. Miscible displacement experiments w...

Evaluating agricultural land management practices requires knowledge of soil spatial variability and understanding their relationships. Spatial distributions for fourteen soil physical and chemical properties were examined in a wheat field in Sorkhankalateh district, in Golestan province, Iran. 101 soil samples at the distances of 5m, 10m and 20m as nested grid were collected at the depth of 0-...

Soil characteristics of Gujar Khan area Rawalpindi district were evaluated through physical and chemical analysis. About 3002 soil samples received/collected from farmers' fields during the period between 2012 2017 analysed for texture, electrical conductivity (ECe), pH, organic matter (OM), available phosphorus (AP) potash (AK). The analysis results revealed that texture soils varied sandy loa...

introduction saffron is one of the most economically important plants across iran and all over the world. the most important cultivated areas of saffron are in khorasan-e razavi and southern khorasan provinces (jihad keshavarzi khorasan razavi, 2013). the corm is the reservoir of photosynthetic materials and plays an important role in the saffron life cycle. corm size and physicochemical charac...
