in order to possibility of improving physiological traits, yield and yield components of safflower (carthamus tinctorius cv. sina) by anti-transpiration application in rainfed condition, a research was carried out in factorial based on randomized complete block design (rcdb) with three replications in miyaneh region (east azarbaijan province - iran) in 2011. the treatments antitranspirant rate ...

global warming and climate change have drawn special attention to soil and its potential for stable carbon sequestration. soils are the largest stores of carbon in terrestrial carbon cycle and contain about three times more carbon than vegetation cover and two times more than that of atmosphere. studying the effects of grazing on soil carbon storage is important because of the major role soil o...

in rainfed areas of iran, cereal yields are low, variable and mainly as a result of inadequate and erratic seasonal rainfall and associated management factor, such as late sowing date (or late crop germination). in order to investigate the effects of single irrigation and nitrogen on bread wheat (triticum aestivum l. var. sabalan) a field experiment was conducted as split plot arranged in a ran...

the aim of this research was to investigate the efficiency of ldpe films incorporating fifferent nanofillers in extending orange juice shelf life. fresh orange juice packed in different films was assessed for microbial stability, ascorbic acid content, ph, color parameters and sensory quality during 0, 7, 28 and 58 d of storage. mold and yeast growth, acidophil and aerobic mesophil bacteria pop...

objective(s):several investigations have revealed that caspase-14 is responsible for the epidermal differentiation and cornification, as well as the regulation of moisturizing effect. however, the precise regulation mechanism is still not clear. this study was aimed to investigate the expression of caspase-14 in filaggrin-deficient normal human epidermal keratinocytes (nheks) and to explore the...

the present study carried out an in vitro experiment on effects of salinity and temperature on acartia tonsa life cycle from caspian sea. during the experiment, temperature and salinity ranged 25, 27, 29 ± 1 °c and 12‰ and 17‰, respectively within a period of 60 days. spawning rate was measured using mesh size of 100 µ planktonic net from surface to 10 m depth. early results show that nauplii a...

materials and methods: 32 new zealand rabbits were randomly divided into three groups: control group, high-cholesterol group and losartan group. the level of weights, serum lipid levels and inflammatory factors, such as il-6 and hs c-reactive protein were detected before the losartan intervention and two months after the losartan intervention respectively. the content of angii was detected on l...

background and aim: nesfatin-1 is a newly discovered anti-appetite protein which is expressed in adipose tissue and appears in plasma. it has a significant role in energy homeostasis and metabolism. the aim of this study was to assess the effects of an 8-week endurance and resistance training on the plasma level of nesfatin-1, cardiorespiratory endurance, and body composition of overweight and ...
