In the present study, the effect of seed priming with magnetic field (MF; 45, 90, 200 and 250mT for 5, 10, 20 and 30 min) was evaluated in 60-day-old Hyssopus officinalis plants grownunder 8 days irrigation intervals. The assessments were consisted of biomass, membranestability, photosynthetic pigments concentrations, polyphenols content, antioxidant enzymesactivities an...

BACKGROUND The importance of health policy and systems research and analysis (HPSR+A) has been increasingly recognised, but it is still unclear how most effectively to strengthen the capacity of the different organisations involved in this field. Universities are particularly crucial but the expansive literature on capacity development has little to offer the unique needs of HPSR+A activity wit...

As far as Iran is concerned in arid and semi-arid region and amount of water is limited, improvement of water consuming is very important. One of the ways for storing water is to use superabsorbent polymer. So, this research compared normal and deficit irrigation methods by considering the effects of stockosorb (0.1% and 0.3% by volume) and zeolite (10 weight% and 15 weight%) in two sandy soils...

this research was carried out to assess the effect of drought stress on head branch dry weight, photosynthesis, essential oil yield and radical scavenging of rosemary (rosmarinus officinalis l.) in islamic azad university, shoushtar branch, iran during 2010-2011.the experiments were carried out using complete randomized block design with four replications and drought stress levels included cont...

The U.S. joint military medical community has an increasing role in collaborative health sector engagement internationally as part of a whole of government approach to successful operations. The military must master the ability to catalyze health sector gains that can be developed by hosts, U.S. Government, and international agencies in both permissive environments and conflict zones. Capacity ...

We study the one-shot zero-error classical capacity of quantum channels assisted by quantum non-signalling correlations, and the reverse problem of simulation. Both lead to simple semi-definite programmings whose solutions can be given in terms of the conditional min-entropies. We show that the asymptotic simulation cost is precisely the conditional min-entropy of the Choi-Jamiołkowski matrix o...

Motivated by channel measurements in different indoor locations we will show that the WLAN indoor MIMO channel is characterized by few dominant transmission paths mainly corresponding to the LOS path and some strong reflections. In the contrary to the common statistical flat Rayleigh fading channel model we will explain that the WLAN channel is widely deterministic and frequency selective. Furt...

This work examined the removal of Pb(II) using a chitosan derivative (SB, synthesized from benzaldehyde) assisted by a magnetic field. The adsorption capacity for Pb(II) was investigated. It was found that 1) the pH and concentration of the ion solution, as well as exposure time and strength of magnetic field, affected the degree of adsorption; and 2) studies of the adsorption isotherms and kin...
