this study was conducted over a three-year period (1998, 1999 and 2000) to evaluate some drought tolerance indices and their relations with sugar yield in some sugar beet genotypes under early season drought and non-drought conditions. the experimental design was a split plot with a randomized complete block. the main plots consisted of two irrigation regimes: non-stress and water stress in ear...

research has shown that shift work, in particular night work, can have negative effects on the health, safety and well-being of workers. our study assessed, in a hospital setting, the effects of bright light (bl) on general health and psychological problems during night shift work. in an experimental design, 15 female nurses at a general hospital that located in tehran were exposed to moderate ...

This research was carried out to study the effect of TiO2 and nano-TiO2 on some chemical compounds in a medicinal plant Lallemantia iberica under water deficit conditions. The experiment was conducted as a factorial arrangement in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The first factor was the application of external materials as spraying with 3 levels of control, TiO2 and ...

Experiments were conducted with containerized ;Tahiti' lime (Citrus latifolia Tan.) trees in order to define conditions needed to induce flowering. Cyclical or continuous water stress for 4 to 5 weeks induced flowering. Moderate (-2.25 megapascals, midday) or severe (-3.5 megapascals, midday) water stress as measured by leaf xylem pressure potential, for as little as 2 weeks induced flowering, ...

the relationship between qt dispersion and myocardial ischemia is still controversial. therefore, we aimed to investigate the relationship between qtd and the severity and extent of myocardial ischemia. in this cross-sectional study, 141 patients having symptoms of cad who referred to our medical center during 2009-2010, and were examined with myocardial isotope scan and ecg, were enrolled. bas...

Cynara cardunculus var. scolymus L. is a herbaceous perennial plant that could be drought tolerant once established after the first year. To evaluate the effects of water stress on growth parametersand forage quality of this plant, a field experiment was conducted using a randomized complete block design with three replications in Isfahan, Iran during 2013-2015. Treatments wer...

in order to study of drought tolerance in advanced grain sorghum lines, an experiment was conducted in a split-plot on randomized complete block design with three replications in experimental field of seed and plant improvement institute, karaj, iran during 2009-2010. irrigation regimes were assigned to main plots at three levels including normal irrigation (i1=60mm), moderate stress (i2=120mm)...
