conclusions the fluoride content of drinking water in reservoirs and at homes was below the optimal level in mariwan. no differences were observed from the standard levels in behbahan. there were no differences in fluoride content of water in reservoirs and in home pipelines, indicating no tangible changes in fluoride content from the reservoirs to the homes. in neither of the towns was severe ...

satellite data have been used for temperature modeling both in urban areas and water. this paperstudies viability of aster satellite images that provide high spatial and spectral resolution to model watersurface temperature, as a fundamental water quality parameter. this study is focused on dez dam reservoirresiding in khuzestan province, south west of iran. after the image corrections required...

in this research, the statistics of daily temperature of meteorology stations for estimating the probable occurrence of the first and last frost temperature, the phonological thresholds of saffron and its flowering and irrigation dates were explored. furthermore, by applying different methods, the probabilities of the attained dates in different probability levels were fit in smada software. th...

water deficit is an important factor limiting crop production worldwide. drought stress can be managed by improving the availability of soil moisture conserved and selecting drought tolerant genotypes. several physiological indices including stomatal conductance (kl), relative water content (rwc), leaf temperature (tl) and crop temperature stability (cts) along with yield, its components and se...

Following the recent observation of the quantum spin Hall (QSH) effect in HgTe quantum wells, an important issue is to understand the effect of impurities on transport in the QSH regime. Using linear response and renormalization group methods, we calculate the edge conductance of a QSH insulator as a function of temperature in the presence of a magnetic impurity. At high temperatures, Kondo and...

abstract     evapotranspiration and plant water absorption reduce when exposed to water stress and this reduction results in an increase in leaf temperature. to determine the effect of water stress on leaf temperature and timing of irrigation using leaf temperature, a research was conducted on the research and education greenhouse production center of islamic azad university, isfahan branch (kh...

The experimental and theoretical studies of supercooled liquid water strongly suggest that the two liquid waters and their liquid-liquid critical point (LLCP) exist at low temperature. However, the decisive experimental evidence of the LLCP has not been obtained because of the rapid crystallization of liquid water in the "no-man's land." Here, we observed experimentally the pressure-induced pol...

according to the temperature distribution of water injection well-bore in highly deviated wells under different conditions and unstable temperature field heat conduction principles, a true three-dimensional model was established to analyze the law of variation on temperature of highly deviated wells during the water injection process, and to analyze the factors that influence the water injectio...

Low temperatures cause a decrease in the absorption and movement of water in plants (1, 2, 3, 9, 10). This reduction is less in species native to cool environments than in species which normally grow in warm ones (10). This has been attributed to the combined effects of decreased permeability of the root membranes and the increased viscosity of the water. Kramer (9) observed that water flow thr...

abstract germination and emergence of cold tolerant lentil genotypes sometimes experiences low temperatures and variable rainfalls in the fall planting. this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of drought stress on germination stage of lentil genotypes. experiment was carried out with 18 lentil genotypes under five levels of water potential (0 , -0.4 , -0.8 , -1.2 , -1.6 mpa) using peg ...
