Drought is one of the most important natural phenomenon which affects on plant growth. Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is an essential fodder product which has extensive and depth roots system, this advantage enables the plant to tolerate long term drought without any damage to its regrowth process. In order to measure germination percentage and rate, root and shoot growth of 6 alfalfa cultivars (...

In order to investigate the effects of water stress on total phenolics content, antioxidant power, β-glucosidase activity and stomatal properties of alfalfa, a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design was carried out in 1-Lit pots containing half strength Hoagland culture medium using two cultivars of alfalfa at four osmotic pressures including 0 (control), -0.5, -1.0 and ...

This paper is an attempt to Numerical Modeling and Experimental Study of Air Flow in the Yazdi Wind-Towers. Wind Towers has been known as one of the most effective climatic elements in Iranian traditional architecture. This paper is an attempt to evaluating Yazdi wind-tower to discussion the two main questions: 1. What is the role of Orientation of wind-towers span, regarding to climate and he...

This work analyzes the latency of simplified successive cancellation (SSC) decoding scheme for polar codes proposed by Alamdar-Yazdi and Kschischang. It is shown that, unlike conventional decoding, where linear in block length, SSC sublinear. More specifically, O(N 1-1/μ ), N length μ scaling ex...

Acid phosphatase is wildly found in plants. This enzyme has intra and extra cellular activity. For instance, it dephosphorylase organic phosphate and change it to inorganic phosphate. However, acid phosphatase activity is increased by salt and osmotic stress. In this experiments, calluses were produced from invitro grown explants of Medicago sativa cv. Yazdi and cv. Hamedani under aseptic condi...

literature has always been proportional to the taste of humanity and played a prominent role in revolutions and social movements to achieve independence and freedom during history. resistance literature as a branch of literature, has made a roaring literature that there is no way of stop and hopelessness to it, and has defended societies by putting aside repressive force, it has acted like a de...

The genetic algorithm (GA) is an evolutionary optimization algorithm operating based upon reproduction, crossover and mutation. On the other hand, particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a swarm intelligence algorithm functioning by means of inertia weight, learning factors and the mutation probability based upon fuzzy rules. In this paper, particle swarm optimization in association with genetic a...
