this research was carried out on corn in the orzuiyeh region of kerman province over two consecutive seasons (2005-6 to 2007-8). the experiment was done as a split plot with a completely randomized block design and four replications. four levels of consumed water (60%, 80%, 100% water requirement, water use based on regional custom) and three varieties (404sc, 700sc, 704sc) were the main factor...

The instrument has a locking mechanism and is composed of an external needle with blunt tip, with multiple 0.5 mm diameter holes. Internally it is fitted with a mandrill needle, which can be mobilized inside occluding or releasing the lateral holes. The procedure for producing micro lesions is done by exchanging the blunt mandrill for a brush-mandrill, provided with micro bristles that are stru...

We evaluated the blood pressure-lowering activity, tolerability, and safety of losartan in 112 hypertensive (sitting diastolic blood pressure, 90 to 115 mm Hg) patients with chronic renal insufficiency including mild renal insufficiency (30 to 60 mL/min per 1.73 m2; n=51), moderate to severe renal insufficiency (10 to 29 mL/min per 1.73 m2; n=33), or hemodialysis (n=28). After a 3-week placebo ...

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of various irrigation water (W) and nitrogen (N) levels on growth, root-shoot morphology, yield, use efficiency greenhouse tomatoes in spring–summer fall–winter. The experiment consisted three (W: 100% crop evapotranspiration (ETc), 80%, 60% full irrigation) N application (N: 100%, 75%, 50% standard concentration Hoagland’s solution treatments...

This work discusses the design and construction of a robot for moving in small diameter pipes (down to 57 mm inside diameter), capable of negotiating curves, diameter changes, sharp bends and T-joints, intended for (semi) autonomous inspection of gas distribution mains. A number of fundamental design changes and improvements will be shown with respect to earlier designs. The new design is fully...

abstract genetic diversity of german chamomile (matricaria chamomilla l.) populations in iran was evaluated using morphological, agronomical and phonological characteristics and compared with three cultivars from germany, hungary and iran. in this experiment, statistical design of rcbd with three replications was used, sixteen quantitative traits were measured such as yield, flower number per p...

Fifty-eight normal subjects and 51 subjects with borderline hypertension underwent microvascular and hemodynamic studies while on an ad libitum diet and during periods of sodium depletion (10 mEq/day) and repletion (200 mEq/day). Hemodynamic measurements included arterial blood pressure, cardiac index, total peripheral resistance, forearm blood flow, vascular resistance, venous compliance, and ...

Introduction Short column sedimentation equilibrium analysis offers many advantages for researchers wanting quick, sure characterization of the solution properties of macromolecules. Presented here is a list of when short column methods are an appropriate choice, a brief theoretical treatment and an overview of short column sedimentation methods, including ones diagnostic for self-association a...
