The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of Nano-silver (NS), calcium chloride (CaCl2) and their combinations on Gerbera jamesonii ‘Carambole’ cut flowers. The experiment was conducted as a completely randomized design (CRD) with 10 treatments and four replications, with three flowers in each replication. Treatments consisted of 5 mg L-1 NS, 1% and 2% CaCl2, 5 mg L-1 NS+ 1% CaCl2, ...

the earliest evidences on circulation of avian influenza (ai) virus on the iranian poultry farms date back to 1998. great economic losses through dramatic drop in egg production and high mortality rates are characteristically attributed to h9n2 ai virus. in the present work non-structural (ns) genes of 10 iranian h9n2 chicken ai viruses collected during 1998-2007 were fully sequenced and subjec...

We analyze the energy and angular momenta of the two-spin spiky string moving on the AdS3×S with NS-NS field. Due to the infinite boundary of the AdS spacetime the solution will extend to infinity and it appears the divergences. After adding the counter terms we then obtain the dispersion relation of the corresponding giant magnon and see how the background field produces the correction terms. ...

Type IIA toroidal orientifolds offer a promising toolkit for model builders, especially when one includes not only the usual fluxes from NS-NS and R-R field strengths, but also fluxes that are T-dual to the NS-NS three-form flux. These new ingredients are known as metric fluxes and non-geometric fluxes, and can help stabilize moduli or can lead to other new features. In this paper we study two ...
