anthocoris nemoralis (f.) (hemiptera: anthocoridae) is one of the most prominent predators of the pear psylla, cacopsylla pyricola (forster) (hemiptera: psyllidae) and is considered as a biological control agent against this pest. in order to investigate the effects of plant varieties on predation of c. pyricola by a. nemoralis, the functional response of both the sexes of a. nemoralis to pear ...

test method facet is one of the factors which can have an influence on the test takers’ performance. the purpose of the current study was to investigate the effects of two different response types, multiple-choice cloze and multiple-choice test, on the pre-intermediate and intermediate test takers’ reading comprehension performance. to this end, 40 pre-intermediate and intermediate learners par...

the aim of the present study was to investigate the possibility of improvingproductive performance and immunity of growing japanese quailreared during summer in egypt by supplementing the diets with organic zinc (bioplex zinc) and prebiotic (mannan oligosaccharides). diets were a basal diet or the basal diet supplemented with 20 mg bioplex zinc (3.0 mg zn) (zn1), 40 mg bioplex zinc (6.0 mg zn) ...

introduction: monte carlo (mc) is the most common method for simulating virtual spect projections. it is useful for optimizing procedures, evaluating correction algorithms and more recently image reconstruction as a forward projector in iterative algorithms; however, the main drawback of mc is its long run time. we introduced a model based method considering the effect of body attenuation and i...

with the development of restructured power systems and increase of prices in some hours of day and increase fuel price, demand response programs were noticed more by customers. demand response consists of a series of activities that governments or utilities design to change the amount or time of electric energy consumption, to achieve better social welfare or some times for maximizing the benef...

through the last three decades different seismological and engineering approaches for the generation of artificial earthquakes have been proposed. selection of an appropriate method for the generation of applicable artificial earthquake accelerograms (aeas) has been a challenging subject in the time history analysis of the structures in the case of the absence of sufficient recorded accelerogra...

the sirri jacket offshore platform was designed and installed in persian gulf of iran in 1975 and has been in service since that time. the importance of offshore structure's stability and the failure of this kind of structure during an earthquake in different active zones revealed that earthquake loading has to be considered. in this paper, magnetorheological (mr) fluid dampers have been propos...

a study on the evaluating equivalent damping and response modification factors of frames equipped by pall friction dampers is presented. to do so, buildings with various stories were considered. nonlinear and linear dynamic time history analysis has been performed to evaluate equivalent damping for pall friction dampers. ground motions with various frequency characteristics scaled with iranian ...

three experiments of 60 days duration were conducted in post larval stage of indian white shrimp, fenneropenaeus indicus, to explore the appropriate protein: lipid ratios in their diets. a common ingredient mixture consisting of; fish meal, shrimp meal, ground nut oil cake, cholesterol, lecithin, vitamins and minerals blended with chicken egg albumin, tapioca flour and cellulose (filler) was us...
