iran is a country in the middle part of the alp-himalayan orogeny system that have huge earthquakes. the risk of the earthquakes is the cause of the researches about the precursors. because earthquakes occur suddenly, often with devastating consequences, earthquake prediction is a matter of great interest among the public and emergency service officials. a few observations suggest that some ear...

effects of lamb and parents coefficient of inbreeding (ci) on wool weight were studied using 10,868 wool records belonging to 3,244 iran black lambs (1,633 males and 1,611 females) representing 96 rams and 995 ewes collected during 1983-2006 from animal breeding station of abbas abad. year and month of shearing, ci of lamb and dam, sex and birth type had significant affect on wool weight among ...

in order to study the interrelations of photosynthetic rate and surfaces and leaf proline content with yield and yield components of safflower under different irrigation regimes, a field experiment in a split plot arrangement under a ranomized complete block design with four replication was performed at lavark reasrch farm, isfahan university of technology, isfahan, iran in 2007. two irrigation...

the aim of this study was to evaluate germination of different sesame genotypes on response to temperature. heat and cold tolerance indexes were determined using cardinal temperatures and evaluations of genotypes were conducted to tolerate high or low temperatures using determined indexes. in order to, germination tests were conducted in fixed temperatures incubators with 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35...

objective(s) pde3 has a functional role in insulin secretion and action. we investigated the metabolic effects of new synthetic pde3 inhibitors (mc1, mc2, mc5 and mc6), on mice and hyperglycemic rat. materials and methods the test compound or solvent was injected subcutaneously to mice, for 7 days. on day 8, blood and liver samples were obtained. in hyperglycemic rat, 0.5 g/kg glucose with or w...

this paper describes a methodology for the integration of well logs and a series of grid-based attributes extracted from interpreted seismic data for prediction of porosity distributions. the studied area is located in the southwest iran. before finding a relationship between the target logs and predicted logs from 3d seismic data, we have interpreted the 3d seismic data in the studied area. al...

artemisia annua is a medicinal annual herb that widely distributed in asia, europ, north america, and also is grown in north reagions of iran. in this study, variation in the quantity and quality of the essential oil of a.annua apical shoots at different developmental stages including vegetative, early flower opening and full flowering stages is reported. the obtained oils by hydrodistilation o...

a total of 160 day-old male broiler chickens (ross 308) were divided in a completely randomized design experiment, and assigned to 8 treatments and 4 replicates in their experimental units (cages). treatments included: t1: basal diet with no additional methionine, t2: basal diet plus 0.06, t3: basal diet plus 0.11, t4: basal diet plus 0.17 % of dl-methionine, t5: basal diet plus 0.06, t6: basal...

in order to possibility of improving physiological traits, yield and yield components of safflower (carthamus tinctorius cv. sina) by anti-transpiration application in rainfed condition, a research was carried out in factorial based on randomized complete block design (rcdb) with three replications in miyaneh region (east azarbaijan province - iran) in 2011. the treatments antitranspirant rate ...

seeds of most crops including those of range plants follow orthodox behavior. however, these seeds undergo aging even under favorable conditions, so that decreased viability and vigor related parameters are the main characteristics of deteriorated seeds. the effects of hormonal priming with auxin, cytokinin, gibberellin and abscisic acid at 0, 50, 100 and 150 ppm on physiological quality of tal...
