to study the effects of priming on seed germination traits of sainfoin 'eski', a factorial in randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted at the laboratory of agricultural research center of sari in 2011. treatments consisted of polyethylene glycol (peg6000) at 5 and 10%, potassium nitrate (kno3) at 5 and 10% and potassium chloride (kcl) at 5 and 10% levels ...

in this paper, we find explicit solution to the operator equation$txs^* -sx^*t^*=a$ in the general setting of the adjointable operators between hilbert $c^*$-modules, when$t,s$ have closed ranges and $s$ is a self adjoint operator.

We present a stationary axially symmetric two parameter vacuum solution which could be considered as " dual " to the Kerr solution. It is obtained by removing the mass parameter from the function of the radial coordinate and introducing a dimensionless parameter in the function of the angle coordinate in the metric functions. It turns out that it is in fact the massless limit of the Kerr-NUT so...

one of the most important structural components of engine compartment assembly in a car body is the srail. s-rails has significant role in absorbing energy during crash events and therefore it is designed for efficient behavior in such conditions. driving the peak crushing force of the s-rails is one of the important objectives in the design process of such structures. peak crushing force is ex...

Root influx parameters (Vmax and Km) of wheat (Triticum aestivum var. HD-2285) were determined at different stages of crop growth, viz. CRIS-Crown Root Initiation Stage, MTS-Maximum Tillering Stage, FLS-Flag Leaf Stage and DFS-Dough Formation Stage. Wheat was grown in sand medium with Hoagland nutrient solution (all nutrients except potassium). Plants were taken out from sand culture at 22, 41,...

Elevated plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) is a risk factor for vascular disease but lowering tHcy with B-vitamins, including folate, has generally not reduced vascular events in secondary prevention trials. Elevated plasma S-adenosylhomocysteine (AdoHcy) concentration may be a more sensitive indicator of vascular disease than plasma tHcy. However, unlike tHcy, plasma AdoHcy did not correlate wi...
