in this research, moisture sorptions of sayer date were determined at 20, 30, 40 and 60°c, using the standard static gravimetric method developed by the european cooperation project cost 90. several mathematical models, namely gab, bet, iglesias & chirif and halsey were employed to fit the experimental data through non-linear regression. results indicate that equilibrium moisture content increa...

religious tourism is one of the varieties of tourism that authorities in this filed , believe iran, due to its special cultural and religious capacities and geographical position , has an important role in developing religious tourism industry. one of the important factors that affects industry tourism, especially developing the religious one ,is the aerial transportation industry for the time ...

a synoptic method based on stream analysis is applied to understand the governing mechanism of summer rainfall occurrence in the south of iran. based on this, the rainfall data of 152 stations of iran were analyzed for a 33-year period (1970-2002). investigating the spatial and temporal distribution of summer rainfall, a typical rainy region is recognized in the south east of iran. it is found ...

abstract: in this paper, the results of experimental and numerical simulation of low velocity impact process have been carried out to investigate energy absorption of composite sandwich panels with 3d woven fabrics of glass fibers and epoxy resin. for this purpose, diagrams of force-displacement of the quasi-static and quasi-dynamic impact tests were studied. for the finite element simulation, ...

degradation of o,o-dimethyl -o-4-nitrophenylphosphorothioate (methylparathion) by ozonation in aqueous solution was studied in a batch reactor under constant ozone dosage and variable ph conditions. the effectiveness of the process was estimated based on the degree of cod (chemical oxygen demand) reduction and conversion of methylparathion. it was observed that ozonation is more effective at al...

in vitro maturation (ivm) was carried out in the presence of different concentrations (10, 50, 100 or 200 µm) of α-linolenic acid (ala). embryonic cleavage, blastocyst formation following parthenogenetic activation (pa) and in vitro fertilization (ivf), and numbers of total and apoptotic cells in blastocyst were then determine for the 50 μm concentration and compared with the control group. out...

a series of novel 2-aminopyrimidine and 2-substituted-4,6-diaminopyrimidine derivatives have been synthesized and their anti platelet aggregation activities were assessed against adp and arachidonic acid- induced platelet aggregation in human plasma using light transmission aggregometry. none of the compounds showed satisfactory activity against the aggregation induced by adp. however, satisfac...

soil compaction is one of the most prevailed limitations for crop growth. the use of organic matters as fertilizer on agricultural soils can reduce the effects of soil compaction and provide the nutrients for the plants. so, a factorial experiment was carried out in a randomized complete blocks design with three replications. the first factor was the source and amount of organic fertilizer (far...

two simple protocols for the synthesis of three-component condensation reaction of an aldehyde, β-ketoester and urea or thiourea to obtain the 3, 4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1h)-ones (thiones) using nano silica phosphoric acid are reported. short reaction times, high yields, reusability of catalyst and easy workup are some advantages of these protocols.
