an experiment was carried out to estimate growth parameters of broiler chickens received artichoke extract in their drinking water using gompertz non-linear model and to compare gompertz non-linear regression equation and artificial neural network modeling in terms of their ability to predict body weight of broiler chicks at day 42 of age. a total number of 250 one- day- old ross 308 broiler ch...

regional analysis is one of the important methods for estimating the low flow in ungagged regions. investigation of the relations between effective factors of hydrological drought is the most important strategy to contrast and reduction of drought losses. in this study to analyze of low flow, the daily discharge data from 20 gauging stations with 25 years period (1988-2012) in the kashafroud ba...

calla lily, an ornamental bulbous plant from araceae family (consisting of seven species) is characterized by spadix inflorescence and utilized for cut flower as well as for pot plant. a greenhouse study was conducted in university college of agriculture and nature resources of tehran university, to evaluate the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of pot plant of calla lily. the type o...

rice (oryza sativa l.) is one of the iran's most strategic crops with water shortage as the most important abiotic stress limiting its yield. in the present research the effects of: variety, water regime, nitrogen (n) and phosphorus (p) levels on n, p and k uptake were studied under greenhouse conditions. the experiment design was a factorial one based upon a randomized complete blocks of ...

this study aimed at determining the evapotranspiration and crop coefficient (kc) of sugar beet during the plant growth using drainage lysimeter by using water balance and experimental methods for three years in shahrekord. after sugar beet planting and out of lysimeter, evapotranspiration was measured weekly and monthly by measuring the factors of the water- balance equation. results showed tha...

nitrogen forms exert significant effects on physiological and morphological characteristics of plant. in this study, the effects of ammonium, nitrate, and ammonium-nitrate on pepper plants were investigated in soil culture, as well as in solution culture. in the soil culture, 3, 4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate (dmpp) was used as a standard nitrification inhibitor to guarantee the presence of ammon...

to study the effects of different levels of water stress and nitrogen fertilizer on seed yield and yield components of two common bean genotypes (phaseolus vulgaris), an experiment in a split plot factorial based on crbd with four replications was conducted at the research farm of university of tehran (karaj-iran) in 2010. water stress treatments as the main factor included normal irrigation (6...

although the shelling and bombing against the residential areas have been prohibited in the international law, the iraqi regime used these tools frequently to advance its military and political strategy. these attacks were escalated after the kheibar operation. this article considers the definitions and concepts of the war of the cities and then studies the trend of this war during the iran-ira...

in this research, moisture sorptions of sayer date were determined at 20, 30, 40 and 60°c, using the standard static gravimetric method developed by the european cooperation project cost 90. several mathematical models, namely gab, bet, iglesias & chirif and halsey were employed to fit the experimental data through non-linear regression. results indicate that equilibrium moisture content increa...

effects of different k/ca ratios on the growth, yield and physiological characteristics in galia (cucumis melo var. reticulatus l. naud. cv. galia) grown in hydroponics were evaluated. the experiment was arranged in a completely randomized design of three replicates. melon seeds were sown in a medium containing perlite and vermiculite (3:1 v:v) and then irrigated with water containing different...
