the host plant quality not only influences on herbivorous insects but also indirectly could impact on their natural enemies’ performance. the current study was conducted to determine the effect of different nitrogen fertilization levels of canola (brassica napus l.) on life table parameters of the predatory gall midge, aphidoletes aphidimyza rondani; diptera: cecidomyiidae, in feeding of mustar...

an investigation was carried out to study the developmental time, reproduction and life table of three populations of the onion thrips, thrips tabaci lindeman, on onion (khorasan and golestan populations) and also on tobacco (mazandaran population) in the laboratory at 25â°c, 50% rh and 16: 8 h l: d. the total life cycle from egg to adult of khorasan, golestan and mazandaran populations were ga...

In the present work, the effect of Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) in low frequency structures resting on loose soil, through numerical modelling and shaking table tests have been studied. In theoretical studies two types of models namely fixed base and flexible base structure were subjected to three selected earthquake records. Nonlinear dynamic analysis was employed for all of the numerical ...

this study will evaluates climate change impacts on groundwater resources in hamadan-bahar alluvial aquifer in the west of iran. different climate models are weighted in the basis of their ability in predicting monthly observed climate data in the base study period (1970-2000). with respect to climate models weights and their predictions, precipitation and temperature changes in 10, 50 and 90 p...
