to evaluate growth characteristics and adaptation of new asian pear cultivars (pyrus serotina rehd.) in iran, some growth characteristics and physiological factors of nine asian pear cultivars named ‘ks’6, ‘ks’7, ‘ks’8, ‘ks’9, ‘ks’10, ‘ks’11, ‘ks’12, ‘ks’13, ‘ks’14 and one european, present commercial cultivar ‘shahmiveh’ of iran (control) were evaluated under the climatic conditions of tehran ...

Prediction of peak loads in Iran up to year 2011 is discussed using the Radial Basis Function Networks (RBFNs). In this study, total system load forecast reflecting the current and future trends is carried out for global grid of Iran. Predictions were done for target years 2007 to 2011 respectively. Unlike short-term load forecasting, long-term load forecasting is mainly affected by economy fac...

Many abnormal α-chain hemoglobins (Hbs) are caused by single nucleotide mutations in α1- or α2-goblin genes. One of these Hbs is Hb Q-Iran which is resulted from a point mutation at codon 75 of the α1-globin gene (Asp→His). The identification of Hb Q-Iran was observed in two members of a family from the Central Province of Iran. In this study, Globin chain analysis on high performance liquid ch...

BACKGROUND: Caprine pox virus disease play an important role in major constraints to small ruminants production in Iran. OBJECTIVES: This study was conducted in different districts of Iran to determine the prevalence of goats pox virus disease in different age groups, sex and seasons in Black goats of Iran. METHODS: In this study skin lesions of male and female goats were collected randomly ...

This study examined the spatial and temporal rainfall variability from the 1940s to 2007 in the south west coastal region of Bangladesh. Time series statistical tests were applied to examine the spatial and temporal trends in three time segments (1948–1970, 1971–1990 and 1991–2007) and four seasons (Pre-monsoon; Monsoon; Post-Monsoon and Winter), during the period 1948–2007. Eight weather stati...

The greenhouse (GH) effect has emerged as a major factor in changing cropping patterns and limiting crop yields. This study was conducted to determine the comparative growth and photosynthetic responses of selected heat-resistant (cv. Sadaf) and heat-susceptible (cv. Agatti-2002) cultivars of maize to simulated GH conditions during spring and autumn seasons at seedling, silking and grain fi lli...
