In the framework of collecting and identifying of wood fungi of Iran, specimen of cup fungus from wood and debris of conifers was collected. The characteristic features of specimen were as follows: Fruit body cup-shaped, gelatinous, up to 1 cm high and to 1.5 cm wide; bright orange. Fertile surface concave. Spores sausage-shaped, smooth, up to 4-5-celled, 15.5-18 × 4-6 µm. Basidia shaped like a...

the researches have made different explanations about rhytons, but they mostly accepted that “rhyton is a kind of a drinking vessel often in the form of an animal, having two holes for pouring water.” rhytons were used in iran from forth millennium b.c. to the end of sasanian period. the animals that are used are of two different kinds: imaginary animals or the real animals. diversity of the sh...

Multipod gold nanocrystals have been synthesized via a simple solution-phase chemical reduction method at room temperature. Two types of structurally different particles are observed, including the regular tripod, which lies on the substrate with its {111} plane, and the cross-like tetrapod that sits on its {100} plane. Both structures have pods of 10 nm sizes and grow along 110 directions. Var...

sphere-like shaped cobalt oxide nanoparticles (co3o4) were synthesized by a simple wet chemical method using cobalt chloride as precursor and cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (ctab) as surfactant. their structural and surface morphologial properties were characterized by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (hrtem), field emission scanning electron microscopy (fesem) and x-ray diffra...

We study the spatiotemporal structure of the biphoton entangled state generated by the four-wave mixing (FWM) process in a cold two-level atomic ensemble. We analyze, for the first time, the X-like shaped structure of the biphoton entangled state and the geometry of the biphoton correlation for different lengths and densities of the cold atomic ensemble. The propagation equations of the photon ...
