forest cover is one of the most effective factors in reducing flooding in northern iran, so that in recent years the destruction, land use changing and uncontrolled harvesting of forest areas, has greatly increased the number and magnitude of floods. so far, there have been few studies on forest hydrology in iran, particularly the northern hyrcanian forests. this study examines the impact of a ...

in order to achieve a sustainable management and development of natural resources, a set of technical, eco-social, environmental and ecological criteria must be considered in the planning process. an appropriate model is therefore needed to address all the criteria mentioned above, in the decision making process and finally provide a reliable result. in the last few years, analytical hierarchic...

this research was aimed to investgate the effect of light quality on micropropagation of pear rootstock oh×f333. first, single nodes explants were cultured in modified ql medium containing ba at four levels (0, 0.5, 1, and 2 mg/l-1) and iaa at three levels (0, 0.1, and 1 mg/l-1) and were evaluated for shoot proliferation. then, plantlets subcultured in modified ql medium containing 1 mg/l-1 ba ...

regional analysis is one of the important methods for estimating the low flow in ungagged regions. investigation of the relations between effective factors of hydrological drought is the most important strategy to contrast and reduction of drought losses. in this study to analyze of low flow, the daily discharge data from 20 gauging stations with 25 years period (1988-2012) in the kashafroud ba...

the main goal of interpretation of potential fields (gravity and magnetic) data is determination of the buried source parameters including the depth, horizontal position, the structural index and the physical properties, which is magnetic susceptibility in the magnetic cases and density for gravity fields. for a large number of data it is so expensive modelling the data by using the inversion a...

this study was conducted to determine water stress tolerance of two iranian dudaim melons (kerman & birjand) and one iranian muskmelon (samsoury). throughout the experiment, three different levels of irrigation with three irrigation starting points (-50, -65 and -75 cb of matric potential) were employed. results indicated that water stress significantly affected yield, firmness, fruit sugars as...

a new series of n-[2-(1h-1,2,3-benzotriazol-1-yl)ethyl]-4-(substitutedphenyl)-3-chloro-2-oxo-1-iminoazetidine, compounds 4(a-j) were synthesized. the structures of all the synthesized compounds were confirmed by chemical and spectral analyses such as ir, 1h nmr, 13c nmr and fab-mass. the compounds 4(a-j) were screened for their antibacterial, antifungal and antitubercular activities and gave ac...

application of various composts has been intensified in agriculture, due to manifestation of negative effects of chemical fertilizers on environment and soil fertility. however, their usage should be accompanied by environmental and nutritional studies. to study the effects of sulfur granular compost on yield and yield components of two wheat cultivars, a pot experiment was conducted in a compl...

architectural programming, as a realm in the design process, is considered to be one of the most valuable assets of the design research. through the use of architectural programming, a designer becomes familiar with different issues of the project and establishes his/her goals to produce an appropriate design solution. an ideal design solution requires a thorough understanding about the needs o...

melissa (melissa offcinalis l.), a member of a lamiaceae family, is a medical plant. the main most important pharmacological properties can be soothin, strengthening nerve, carminative and memory booster. the presence of heavy metals is one of important environmental stresses that can reduce growth and production of types of reactive oxygen. in the present study, the effect of copper sulfate (c...
