salinity is one of the important factors that reduce the growth and yield of crops in iran; however, determining appropriate methods for reducing its negative effects is important. in order to study the effects of nutritional condition of mother plant and bacterial biofertilizers seed priming on germination indices of wheat (triticum aestivum l.), in salinity condition, an experiment was conduc...

In this paper, we investigate a dual class of bi-polarization indices, namely rank-dependent bipolarization indices. We show that these indices may be characterized with the generalized positional transfer sensitivity property. We find necessary and sufficient conditions in order to identify bipolarization-reducing marginal tax reforms. Precisely, we propose inverse positional dominance criteri...

drought stress has been well documented as an effective parameter in decreasing crop production, developing and releasing new varieties which are adaptable to water deficit conditions can be a constructive program to overcome unsuitable environmental conditions. in order to evaluate the adaptation of rice genotypes to drought stress and to identify the tolerant and sensitive genotypes, 15 genot...

salinity and drought are two major abiotic stresses that affect rice (oryza sativa l.) production in worldwide. salt and drought tolerance and high seedling vigor of rice is one of the important traits in the establishment of seedling in direct planting system and saline and drought environments. in this research, the mapping population of f2:4 families derived from the cross between local vari...

heat stress is a common occupational health hazard at outdoor workplaces especially in a hot-humid climate. overheating of the body can cause a number of problems, including heat rash, heat cramps, dizziness, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke. the present study aimed to assess heat stress indices including di, wbgt, and sw req /phs, as a mean to estimate the heat load on the employees of a petro...

Droughts have become more powerful and frequent, affecting people for longer periods than any other natural disaster, particularly in eastern Africa. The unprecedented climate change has increased the severity, duration, frequency of droughts. objectives this study were to evaluate performances different drought indices spatiotemporal characterization Bilate river watershed that represents part...
