to inspect the effect of methyl salicylate (mesa) vapor on fruit shelf life quality in kiwifruit (actinidia chinensis cv. hayward) an experiment was carried out in citrus research institute, ramsar, iran in 2006-2007. the experiment was based on a completely random design of three replications. the treatments consisted of mesa at five rates (0, 8, 16, 24 and 32 µl/l) and storage time of five le...

an investigation of chlorophyll quick fluorsence variations was made in the reaserch field of islamic azad university- karaj in 2007. the experimental design was a split plot one in form of a complete randomized block design with 4 replications. drought stress was cosiderded in three levels of 40%, 60%, and 75%, on the basis of depletion of soil moisture as the main factor and the factor of mic...

evaluation of changes present in soil and water resources due to operation implement of floodwater spreading is necessary to assess their positive or negative resultant effect. rate of the internal sediment to diversion spreader channels, surface sedimentation and aggregation of the spreading field depth are most important effective attributes on the yield of floodwater spreading systems. these...

this study was conducted to evaluate the responses of two greenhouse tomato cultivars to nutrient solutions' electrical conductivity (ec). two cluster type greenhouse tomato cultivars (razan and ergon) were grown in perlite in a glasshouse hydroponic system. the grown plants were daily fed with either constant ec nutrient solutions (ecs 2, 3 ds m-1) or nutrient solutions of alternatively c...

summary based on the results of the analysis of site effects, mostly those with shear wave velocity and the fundamental period chosen as the basis for classification. in revision of earthquake resistant design regulations for buildings, classification of lands should be subject to the field conditions, geological, geotechnical, geophysical, and laboratory tests.in this context, the average shea...

the study of spatial and temporal changes in climate parameters, is one the most important issues in the world's climate research. study of changes in cloud cover as one of the most important climate parameters is important, because clouds are in top of hydrologic cycle and changes in them make changes in spatial and temporal variations in other climate parameters. in this study, the spati...

with the aim to examine lead tolerance of populus nigra (clone 62/154) in symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, a greenhouse experiment was carried out in a factorial randomized complete scheme with two factors 1) fungal inoculation in 4 levels (control, inoculation with glomus mosseae, inoculation with g. intraradices and inoculation with g. mosseae + g. intraradices) and 2) lead in 4 l...

to study the effects of drought stress and foliar application with salicylic acid on yield andit’s components and percentage of essential oil of nigella sativa l., a field experiment was conducted as split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replications at research farm of shahid bahonar university of kerman during growing season of 2013- 2014. the main factor was drought...

milk-based dairy desserts have important role in human diet because of their nutritional values. the aims of this study were to investigate the effect of hull-less barley malt flour and gelatin adding on different aspects of dairy dessert with the goal of increasing nutritional value and quality parameters. desserts were prepared by different gelatin concentration (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2%) and ...

gypsum found in the soil beneath the foundation of structures, specially hydraulic structures, can cause serious damage to them. the mechanical behavior of gypsiferous soils has not so far been investigated in detail except for the works of petrukhin (1993). here, it has been tried to investigate the mechanical behavior and the effect of soil being leached on settlement and strength of these ki...
