Brown rice is used as a bait-carrier for the avicide DRC-1339 (3-chloro-4-methylaniline) when baiting blackbirds (Icteridae). In March and April 1996 and 1997, we assessed non-target granivorous bird use of rice-baited plots placed in harvested corn and soybean fields in eastern South Dakota for 168 observation hours. In both years combined, we identified 10 and 14 granivorous species in corn a...

The aim of this study was to identify seaweeds in the southern coasts of Iranian waters and providing an atlas. The collecting and identification of seaweeds in the southern coasts of Iranian waters were carried out from October 2001 to September 2003. Data on vegetation were gathered in sub tidal and intertidal zones by seasonal and monthly sampling, respectively. Samples were transferred to t...

We study lower bound estimates for the number of solutions systems equations over finite fields. Heath-Brown improved bounds given by classical Chevalley-Warning Theorems excluding whose form an affine space. improve each Heath-Brown's results and demonstrate sharpness in several cases.

In this review, we examine the successes and weaknesses of modern low-mass star and brown dwarf theory from various comparisons with available experimental and observational constraints in different domains. (1) We first focus on the mechanical (equation of state) and thermal (atmosphere) properties and on the evolution of such cool and dense objects. We then examine the current shortcomings of...

bipolaris oryzae causes rice brown spot disease which reduces rice yield with substantial global impact. streptomycetes isolated from rice fields of guilan province, iran, showed antifungal activity against the tested pathogen. from five active streptomyces spp. isolates, isolate g showed high antagonistic activity. to determine its taxonomical identity, its colonies characterized morphological...

feijoa as a fruit crop and ornamental tree is cultivated in the subtropics and warm temperate areas of the world including brazil, united states, new zealand and japan. a new disease with brown rot symptom on fruit occurred in feijoa orchards of northern iran in which it has become popular as a fruit crop. the objective of the present study was isolation and identification of the causal pathoge...
