Introduction Sunflower seed is one of the most commonly consumed snacks in our country. Sunflower seeds are not only eaten as snacks but also are used as ingredients of breads, mueslies and bars in recent years. Sunflower seed allergy is seen rarely in children and may be presented as angioedema or anaphylaxis. Respiratory allergies have been reported previously in adults owning birds fed on su...

this research aimed at investigating the effect of different levels of nitrogen and planting patterns on dry matter production and growth physiological indices in intercropping maize and sunflower. to do this a split plot experiment carried out based randomized complete block design with three replications in research field of shushtar islamic azad university. the main plot included three level...

the establishment of good process safety management (psm) is widely considered as the most effective means of improving safety levels in process industries. this study was conducted to evaluate the feasibility of establishing and implementing psm requirements based on occupational health and safety assessment series 18001 standards (ohsas 18001) and health, safety and environment management sys...

to evaluate the yield components, yield and land equivalent ratio affected by relay intercropping of sunflower (helianthus annuus l.) with faba bean (vicia faba l.), a field experiment was arranged based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at the agricultural research station payamenoor university of nagadeh, iran during growing reason of 2012-2013. the treatments incl...

In this study, the methanolysis process of sunflower oil was investigated to get high methyl esters (biodiesel) content using sodium methoxide. To reach to the best process conditions, central composite design (CCD) through response surface methodology (RSM) was employed. The optimal conditions predicted were the reaction time of 60 min, an excess stoichiometric amount of alcohol to oil ratio o...

The objective of this research was to investigate the genotoxic potential of the oil of H. annuus L. (sunflower) seeds via the Ames test as well as its oxidative properties and lipid composition. The pre-incubation method, system metabolic activation (S9 fraction) and five S. typhimurium strains (TA97, TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA102) were employed for the Ames test. The oxidative stability and f...

introduction urban landscape is experiencing rapid changes which put all urban domains under pressures. these processes revolutionize urban landscape into spaces without ecologic values. the sustainability of green patches and corridors has been scathed by lack of ecological approaches in planning and design. therefore, urban green spaces structures and functions have been damaged. green spaces...
