dried figs collected from various exporting companies (2,461 samples) and local stores (219 samples) were analyzed using reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (rp-hplc) to determine and compare the incidence of aflatoxins, the effectiveness of the regulation limits and monitoring system to select non-compliant samples and the mean daily aflatoxin exposures. the incidence rates of...

recently the previous caspian ecosystem is in a catastrophic condition which caused changes in the absolute and relative abundance of the commercially important caspian kutum (rutilus frisii kutum) in iranian waters. the paper presents estimates of yield-per-recruit and spawning biomass-per-recruit under various harvest strategies of fmax, f0.1, f30%. it proposes a method for estimating accepta...

this study was carried out to determine the effect of seed growing regions and loading speed on some mechanical properties of castor seed. these properties are used to design and improve related machines such as expeller that are used for extraction of oil from castor seed. mechanical properties of castor seed were expressed in terms of rupture force and energy, bio-yield force, apparent modulu...
