abstract the present study is attempted to present the minimum required meteorological parameters for reference evapotranspiration estimation at hamedan region of iran from 1997 to 1998. employing pierson test, six meteorological parameters which are used by penman-montieth fao-56 method including maximum and minimum air temperature, maximum and minimum relative humidity, wind speed and daily s...

Water shortage is the primary limiting factor for crop production and long-term agricultural sustainability of the North China Plain. Forage cultivation emerged recently in this region. A fiver-year field experiment studies were conducted at Yucheng Integrated Experiment Station to quantify the water requirement and water use efficiency of seven forage varieties under climate variability, that ...

iran was located in the arid belt and desert region of the world. this climatic situation was presented in several parts of iran such as qazvin. evapotranspiration is one the most important parameter which was effect on agricultural development. there are different methods for estimating this item which selected by climatic conditions. this research concentrates to evaluate 28 empirical and com...

BACKGROUND The lysosomal cysteine proteases of the papain family are some of the best studied proteolytic enzymes. Small-molecule inhibitors and fluorogenic substrate mimics have been used to probe the physiological roles of these proteases. A high degree of homology between family members and overlap in substrate specificity have made elucidating individual protease function, expression and ac...

Basal heart rate (HR) of conscious rats under resting conditions was measured daily by electrocardiogram (ECG) during the development of one-kidney, one clip (1K1C) hypertension. A progressive increase in HR (mean +/- SEM) was observed from Day 1 to 7: 318 +/- 11; 330 +/- 18, 338 +/- 18; 344 +/- 19; 372 +/- 14; 374 +/- 11, and 388 +/- 12 bpm, respectively. During the same period, mean arterial ...

Previous studies have associated hypertension with discrepancies between right arm and left arm blood pressure (BP) measurements. The purpose of this study was to determine if there were clinically (defined as > or = 10 mm Hg disparity) and statistically significant differences between right arm and left arm BP measurements (systolic, diastolic, or mean) in 34 third-trimester hypertensive gravi...
