evaluation of river discharges trends is very important for water resources management and design of irrigation and drainage networks. in this research, annual, seasonal and monthly trends of maroon river discharge were evaluated using the mann-kendall and sen’s slope estimator non-parametric tests and the regression analysis parametric test. for this purpose, river discharge data from five h...

inhalant anaesthetics are used widely for producing general anaesthesia in animals and humans.. approximately 20% of halothane uptake is metabolised via oxidative and reductive pathways during and following halothane anaesthesia in humans. fifteen clinically healthy dogs were assigned in three groups (group 1, 2and 3) randomly. all dogs were anesthetized with halothane three times that was repe...

global warming and climate change have drawn special attention to soil and its potential for stable carbon sequestration. soils are the largest stores of carbon in terrestrial carbon cycle and contain about three times more carbon than vegetation cover and two times more than that of atmosphere. studying the effects of grazing on soil carbon storage is important because of the major role soil o...

in order to evaluate the effect of different mechanical treatments (application of sulphuric acid, boiling water and flooding) on seed dormancy breaking of licorice, an experiment was carried out in randomized complete block design in 2012. moreover, a factorial scheme in rcbd was performed to assess the application of giberalic acid and potassium nitrate treatment as well as stratification and...

some specific and non-specific immune variables of rainbow trout were assessed following vaccination of fish with formalin killed cells (fkc) and fkc containing extra cellular products (ecp) of s. iniae. rainbow trout weighing 80-100 g were vaccinated by intraperitoneal (i.p), dip and oral routes using fkc and fkc plus ecp with or without fround adjuvant (fa) at 16-17°c.antibody titration, lyso...

abstract background: chest wall irradiation for early breast cancer affects forced vital capacity (fvc), forced expiratory volume in the first second of expiration (fev1) and may change peripheral oxygen saturation (spo2). in our institute chest wall is irradiated with a four field technique: two tangential and two oppositional anterior and posterior supraclavicular fields. regional recurrence ...

trehalose is an important disaccharide signal metabolite in plants which is involved in various aspects of plant function such as response to stress, photosynthesis and carbon allocation and partitioning. a mutant of arabidopsis lacking trehalose-6-phosphate synthase activity (tps1) accumulates ascorbate. exogenous ascorbate application ameliorates trehalose induced growth inhibition of wild ty...

selenium is an essential trace mineral and has a profound impact on immune function, health and productive performance. an experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary selenium in different levels on performance and humoral immunity in broiler chicks. male broiler chicks (arbor acres, 1-d old, n= 225) were randomly assigned to 3 treatment groups of 5 replicates each including 15 ...

in order to investigate the effect of different irrigation regimes on yield and leaf proline content of a spring isfahan local variety of safflower, a field experiment was conducted as split plot in randomized complete block design with three replications at the research station of shahrekord university in 2013-2014. the main factor consisted of four different irrigation regimes (irrigation aft...

extended abstractintroductiona map is a drawing ground features on one side of the paper. the cartographic maps are representations of the earth upon a flat surface in the smaller scale than it’s true. large scale maps cover relatively small regions in great detail and small scale maps cover large regions such as nations, continents and the whole globe. logical connection between the features a...
