Jujube (Ziziphus jujube) belongs to Rhamnaceae family. It is considered not only for medicinal usage, but also is cultivated as an ornamental plant due to its beautiful leaves and trunk. The first step in a plant breeding program is to collect native genotypes of a plant in a region and evaluate them for selection of superior genotypes. Jujube is grown naturally in some areas of Iran, as well a...

in this thesis protic and aprotic ammonium-based ionic liquids were synthesized and their surface tensions were measured in the range of 298-373k. the protics are alkyl ammonium-based ils with the carboxylate (formate, acetate, propionate) anion and aprotics are quaternary ammonium-based ils with bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide anion. capillary rise method was used for surface tension measure...

1. to determine whether difference in birth body mass influenced growth performance in pipistrellus kuhlii we studied a total of 12 captive-born neonates. bats were assigned to two body mass groups: light birth body mass (lbw: 0.89 ± 0.05, n=8) and heavy birth body mass (hbw: 1.35 ± 0.08, n=4). heavier body mass at birth was associated with rapid postnatal growth (body mass and forearm length) ...

the study of air infiltration into the buildings is important from several perspectives that may be noted to energy and design of hvac systems, indoor air quality and thermal comfort and design of smoke control systems. given the importance of this issue, an experimental and numerical study of air infiltration through conventional doors and windows has been explored in iran. to this end, at fir...

One of the most important limiting factors in cultivation of strawberry in greenhouses during winter season is short day-length. An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of end-of-day red light on growth characteristics, yield and fruit quality of strawberry (cv. Queen Elisa) in a completely randomized design with 4 treatments in winter of 2013. Strawberry plants were exposed to red l...

  To evaluate the effect of plant density on yield and quantitative characteristics of two greenhouse cucumber cultivars, this experiment was planned as factorial, based on completely randomized blocks design with three replications, during two years in the greenhouse of Jiroft Agricultural Research Center, Jiroft, Iran. The experimental factors were width of planting strip (15, 30 and 45 cm), ...
