the main theme to conduct present research work was to evaluate the effect of anaerobic granular sludge in degradation of two azo dyes. the study was evaluated in batch experiments where anaerobic and aerobic conditions were integrated by exposing anaerobic granular sludge to oxygen. under these conditions, the azo dyes were reduced, resulting in a temporal accumulation of aromatic amines. subs...

in vitro multiple shoot regeneration of solanum nigrum l., an indian medicinal plant was accomplished on ms medium utilizing shoot tip and nodal explants. direct multiple shoots differentiated within 6 weeks when explants were cultured on ms medium containing bap (1.0-5.0 mg/l) and kin (1.0-5.0 mg/l) individually. among various concentrations of cytokinins tested, maximum number of multiple sho...

Polysulfide is well known elastomer for use in aerospace applications due to providing flexible coating and chemically resistant sealants. In this work, the effects of carbon black content on curing behavior of polysulfide elastomer were investigated and Rheological properties for samples with different filler content 15, 20 and 25 phr were evaluated by rheometric mechanical spectrometer RMS. A...

nonstandard finite difference schemes for the black-scholes partial differential equation preserving the positivity property are proposed. computationally simple schemes are derived by using a nonlocal approximation in the reaction term of the black-scholes equation. unlike the standard methods, the solutions of new proposed schemes are positive and free of the spurious oscillations.

background: there are several plant extractions which are being used for mosquito control. the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of olea vera, linum usitatissimum and piper nigera against anopheles stephensi and aedes aegypti under laboratory conditions. methods: these tests were carried out using who recommended bioassay method for adult mosquitoes. results: the extracts from blac...

black pepper ( piper nigrum ) from piperaceae and its main ingredient (piperine) reduces gastric emptying in rats. in iranian traditional medicine, black pepper is used to relief the menorrhalgia in women. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of black pepper fruit aqueous extract on non-pregnant rat uterus contractions and the mechanism(s) of its action. to prepare the extract, b...

habitat recognition and knowledge of habitat requirements are extremely important to the wildlife conservation, particularly for endangered and vulnerable species. the purpose of the study was to determine which ecological and habitat factors contribute the distribution of black billed sandgrous (pterocles orientalis) in shirahmad wildlife refuge. sampling was performed in two season (spring an...
