This work utilized temperature-salinity (T-S) diagram to explore the physical properties of water masses during intermonsoon period. In doing so, the physical properties of water column, such as temperature and salinity are collected from cruise conducted in September 2002 and October 2003. Hydrolab instrument was used in the coastal water of Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia. The vertical water tempe...

The species Gracilariopsis persica was first described by Bellorin et al. (2008). G. persica grows from late September to July and shows high growth rate from January to May in the Persian Gulf. Tissue growth and branch induction of red seaweed, Gracilariopsis persica from the Persian Gulf investigated under various culture levels of temperature, light intensity, photoperiod, salinity, initial ...

salinity stress is one of the most important abiotic stresses which threaten plants. in order to study the effect of salinity stress on yield and yield components of sunflower and also genetic analysis of these traits in relation with salt tolerance, a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized design with three replications was conducted. pots were arranged outside the greenhouse in...

New microwave salinity measuring satellites (SMOS, launched Nov, 2009 and AQUARIUS, to be launched spring 2010) have relatively large pixel size (35-80 km). This does affect their primary ocean missionglobal open ocean salinity measurements on a monthly time scale, to a limited extent. However, the large pixel size has a dramatic effect on measurements near the coast. It requires a large coasta...

The study was made in order to evaluate the response of fifteen wheat genotypes (grown in Pakistan) to sodium chloride salinity at seedling stage keeping two levels of salinity (150 and 200 mM NaCl) along with a control (no application of salt). The effect of varieties on shoot length of wheat was non significant. Maximum shoot length was recorded in MH-97 (15.55cm) while minimum shoot length w...

Water-soluble polymers are widely used in oilfields. The rheological behaviors of these polymers in high-salinity solution are very important for stimulation of high-salinity reservoirs. In this work, a novel thermal-resistant and shear-stable amphoteric polyacrylamide (PASD), prepared from acrylamide (AM), sodium styrene sulfonate (SSS), and acryloxyethyl trimethylammonium chloride (DAC) monom...
