in order to have a successful breeding program, it is important to determine the relationship among the traits. this study was conducted at research farm of isfahan university of technology to evaluate relationships among some of the agronomic and physiological traits and grain yield of ten bread wheat cultivars in optimum and stress moisture (irrigation after 70±3 and 130±3 mm evaporation from...

in order to evaluate the physiological indices in relation to the screening of spring safflower genotypes for drought tolerance and productivity, seed and oil yields and yield components were measured for five genotypes including local arak, local esfahan, sina, kh23 – 57 and goldasht. the study was conducted in a loam soil in east azarbaijan, iran, during three successive years (2005-2007)...

STUDY DESIGN A retrospective matched cohort study. PURPOSE To compare the results of combined Luque rod-sublaminar wiring (thoracic) and pedicle (lower lumbar) instrumentation (SLW) versus those with pedicle screw fixation (PS) for scoliosis correction in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE PS fixation is gaining popularity. Two instrumentation systems were not compare...

Mixed-phase clouds (MPCs), composed of both liquid and ice, are prevalent in Southern Ocean cyclones. A characterization these on fine vertical scales is required order to understand the microphysical processes within clouds, for model satellite evaluations over this region. We investigated three examples cloud systems collected by ship-mounted remote-sensing instruments adjacent East Antarctic...

Abstract. Cloud and aerosol lidars measuring backscatter depolarization ratio are the most suitable to detect cloud phase (liquid, ice, or mixed phase). However, such instruments not widely deployed as part of operational networks. In this study, we propose a new algorithm supercooled liquid water containing clouds (SLCC) based on ceilometers only co-polarization backscatter. We utilize observa...

The Antarctic atmosphere is rapidly changing, but there are few observations available in the interior of continent to quantify this change due ground stations and satellite measurements. Concordia station located on East Plateau (75° S, 123° E, 3233 m above mean sea level), one driest coldest places Earth. Several remote sensing instruments at probe atmosphere, together with operational meteor...

Cucurbit crops host a range of serious sap-sucking insect pests, including silverleaf whitefly (SLW) and aphids, which potentially represent considerable risk to the Australian horticulture industry. These pests are extremely polyphagous with a wide host range. Chemical control is made difficult due to resistance and pollution, and other side-effects are associated with insecticide use. Consequ...

Ecological impact assessments of contaminated soil on plants has been an interesting area in the last few years as restoration of contaminated environments for better ecological health is addressed. In this study, the photosynthetic and related morphological and physiological characteristics of two soybean (Glycine max Merrill.) varieties were evaluated in response to aluminum (Al) stress in so...
