Two-dimensional multiphase flow and transport simulators were refined and used to numerically investigate the entrapment and dissolution behavior of tetrachloroethylene (PCE) in heterogeneous porous media containing spatial variations in wettability. Measured hydraulic properties, residual saturations, and dissolution parameters were employed in these simulations. Entrapment was quantified usin...

Otostegia persica (Burm.) Boiss. is the medicinal plant of Lamiaceae family that has long been used traditionally in treatment of severe diarrhea, common cold, flatulence, headache, sore, fever, skin allergies, and blood fat and sugar. This research was conducted in 2013 for one year to identify some ecological characteristics and potential allelopathicof O. persica in Hormozgan province. The c...

in this study, the possibility of including probiotic starter cultures for making yoghurt was investigated. set yoghurts were made using three bio-cultures, all containing bifido-bacterium spp.. the effects of these starter cultures and total solids (i.e. addition of 0, 1 and 2% skim milk powder) on the rheological and sensory characteristics of the bio-yoghurts were compared with a standard st...

A survey was conducted over a 22-year period to evaluate the influence of soil texture and land use on the geographical distributions of Rotylenchulus reniformis, Meloidogyne incognita, and Tylenchulus semipenetrans in the lower Rio Grande valley. The distributions of R. reniformis and M. incognita were related to soil texture, whereas T. semipenetrans occurred wherever host plants were present...

soil biodiversity is the origin of considerable goods for maintenance and extension of above ground biodiversity and environmental soundness. this study was carried out in shirvan, mashhad and gonabad, three regions of razavi and northern khorasan provinces, to determine soil characteristics and biodiversity in natural systems of arid and semi-arid regions. in each studied system, 10 locations ...

A comprehensive hydroclimatic data set is presented for the 2011 water year to improve understanding of hydrologic processes in the rain–snow transition zone. This type of data set is extremely rare in scientific literature because of the quality and quantity of soil depth, soil texture, soil moisture, and soil temperature data. Standard meteorological and snow cover data for the entire 2011 wa...

Newly reclaimed areas cover several patches over different regions of Egypt, which have different specific characteristics related to climate, soils, hydrology, etc... . The mechanical farm, which extends over 10,000 feddans fares from south of Alexandria by 62 Km, could be considered one of the most important reclaimed areas at West of Nubaria affected by degradation due to water logging. The ...

this study was conducted to investigate the type and origin of clay minerals via several profiles in lordegan hilly lands. the profiles were located in two kinds of land uses including forest and dry farm at different slope positions as sampling sites. the soil saples were collected from two depths of soil horizons to indicate cec, soil texture, oc%, calcium carbonate equivalent, x-ray diffract...
