Less known infos like the effect of wounding faba bean roots by high temperature, how maize climb up slopes, cold on Medicago spp., drought soybeans, active microbe species diversity in rhizosphere-plant interface complex interactions roots, allelochemicals, axial water flow, gravitropism, fine and coarse salt-responsive mechanisms, transport root cells, phototropism, hormones, nutrient acquasi...

In this work, the hydrophobic modification of TiO2 nanoparticles (HTiO2) was carried out by reacting with dodecylphosphonic acid (DDPA) and hexylamine solution. A facile approach of the self-assembly technique was used for the coating of hydrophobic HTiO2 layer over the microporous polypropylene (PP) membrane. The self-assembled layer was formed between the interface of trimesoyl chloride (TMC)...

The surface charge of a water interface determines many fundamental processes in physical chemistry and science, it has been intensively studied for over hundred years. We summarize experimental methods to characterize the densities developed so far: electrokinetics, double-layer force measurements, potentiometric titration, surface-sensitive nonlinear spectroscopy, mass spectrometry. Then, we ...

This paper introduces and proves new concept of salt dissolving in water as very tiny solid sodium chloride particles of nanovolumes, from this point of view salt water can be desalinated by collision with special surface characterized by smoothness upon nano level, high rigidity, high hardness under appropriate conditions of water launching in the form of thin laminar flow under suitable speed...

There are about 200 salt plugs in the southern part of the Zagros Mountain Ranges and the Persian Gulf in Iran (Kent, 1970). The salt comes from the Hormuz salt Formation at the base of the Phanerozoic zone. It moves upward due to the buoyancy, the latteral pressure resulting from the opening of the Red Sea to the southwest, and the weight of several thousand meters of overlying sediments. It m...

PURPOSE Systemic hypertension is a risk factor of age-related retinal diseases such as diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration. High intake of dietary salt and low intake of water increase extracellular osmolality resulting in hypertension, in particular in salt-sensitive individuals. This review summarizes the present knowledge regarding the impact of salt and water intake on...

Salt stress is one of the major constraints for wheat cultivation inIranand leads to a considerable loss in crop yield each year. In high salinity soils, the reduced osmotic potential of soil solutes may cause physiological drought. In this study the salt tolerance of different drought-tolerant bread wheat genotypes were studied by examining various agronomic and physiological traits, inclu...

In this study, the effects of forming method (extrusion) and environmental factors (solution pH and temperature) on the corrosion performance of AZ91 magnesium alloys were investigated using potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and salt spray techniques. The polarization test results of the specimens showed that simple sh...
