the distribution and abundance of high aquatic plants in the gorganroud river was examined at five stations in four seasons (20 samples) over one year period during 2009-2010. we identified 21 species of aquatic plants from 21 genera, belonging to 9 families. these species were determined as 3 halophytic species (14.2%) and 18 high aquatic plants (85.7%).the highest species diversity was observ...

purpose: this study aimed to examine the differences in the co-activation of the rectus femoris (rf) and biceps femoris (bf) using the co-contraction index (ci) in aquatic and land environments during a drop-landing task in active and non-active females. methods: in this casual-comparison study, 10 active and 10 non-active females volunteered to participate. the ci was calculated from recorded ...

aim and background: panic disorder (pd) is an anxiety disorder that is associated with cognitive and physical symptoms and can cause cardiovascular, respiratory, neurological, intestinal, and psychological complications, sweating, chills, and fever. given that exercise in water is effective in reducing symptoms of anxiety, the aim of this study is to determine the effect of aquatic exercise on ...

The flux of emerging aquatic insects from streams can provide a significant energy subsidy to riparian web-building spiders. However, despite the high temporality of aquatic insect emergence, the effects of such aquatic insect dynamics on spider distribution are poorly understood. To examine the relationship, the aquatic insect flux from a headwater stream in a northern Japanese deciduous fores...

background bacterium-bacterium antagonistic interactions could be important in the ecology of marine bacteria. antimicrobial properties of microorganisms are exploited in various fields of human activities. objectives antagonism of heterotrophic bacteria from different marine environments of tropical and temperate zones was examined. materials and methods bacteria were isolated from biofilm sam...

[1] We explored the role of aquatic systems in the global N cycle using a spatially distributed, within-basin, aquatic nitrogen (N) removal model, implemented within the Framework for Aquatic Modeling in the Earth System (FrAMES-N). The model predicts mean annual total N (TN) removal by small rivers (with drainage areas from 2.6–1000 km), large rivers, lakes, and reservoirs, using a 300 latitud...

Ecosystems can be linked by the movement of matter and nutrients across habitat boundaries via aquatic insect emergence. Aquatic organisms tend to have higher concentrations of certain toxic contaminants such as methylmercury (MeHg) compared to their terrestrial counterparts. If aquatic organisms come to land, terrestrial organisms that consume them are expected to have elevated MeHg concentrat...

UNLABELLED Aging of the worldwide population is a concern of most governmental entities, spanning practically all areas of prevention and rehabilitation. Aging leads to physiological alterations that result in adverse social and financial effects. There is a trend to emphasize prevention, which is less expensive and socially more desirable than therapeutic intervention. PURPOSE To assess the ...

the main purpose of the present study was to investigate effective factors of the market development of aquatics and products processed from them. the present research was applied research. also, it was quantity research and in terms of the method of collecting data was a survey research. the statistical population of this study consisted of experts of agricultural jihad organization, experts o...
