late spring frost damage is the main factor that limits apricot production in iran.this research was aimed to evaluate the damage of freezing in two apricot cultivarflowers: ʽʽnasiriʼʼ and ʽʽnori-dirrasʼʼ during spring 2011. reproductive organs of thesecultivars at two phenological stages, popcorn and full bloom, were transferred toprogrammable freezer with temperature touch down from 5°c to -1...

Ilmenite is a valuable industrial mineral containing Fe and Ti elements. Two composites with different morphology and composition were produced using the reaction of synthesized ilmenite and aluminum. The molar ratios of 1:2 and 1:8 were selected. The critical temperatures of each molar ratio were determined using the Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA). The heat treatment of the systems ...

in this research a cu-zn-al alloy is produced by melting the raw materials in an electric resistance furnace and then pouring it into a steel mould. the optimum way to achieve the final analysis in the hypo-eutectoid range is determined and the influence of the alloying element, ti on the grain size and the shape memory properties of the samples are investigated. solution treatment (done at 850...

a cause for breakage of rice kernels during the whitening process could be assumed to be due to the produced heat. it is partly because of abrasion and friction of grains produced by contact against themselves and/or against cone and concave. in this study the effect of different temperatures of brown rice on rice kernels' breakage during the whitening process was investigated. khazar cult...

it is very important to find the best model to quantify seed germination rate on the response of temperature which it can be used in determination of cardinal temperatures. this study was conducted to evaluation nonlinear regressions models for description wheat (cv. morvarid) germination rate response to temperatures and water potentials. therefore, seeds germination rate were evaluated in tem...

in order to evaluate the response of russian knapweed seeds to cardinal temperatures a factorial experiment was conducted base on completely randomized design with 3 replications. russian knapweed seeds (collected from irrigated and rainfed wheat fields), and germination temperatures (constant temperatures of 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35° c) were used as first and second levels of the experiment. ...

In order to evaluate cardinal temperatures and optimum thermal range of germination of three medicinal plants including Ajowan, Fennel and Dill an experiment was conducted in a Completely Randomized Design with three replications. Temperatures considered for this study were: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 ?C. Results indicated that temperature affected germination rate and percentage of these cro...
