Nanosilver of nanometer-sized silver (Ag+) particles (2-5 nm diam) are used in various applications as an anti-microbial. Boric acid (H3BO3) is water soluble (pH=7). Boric acid is ethylene synthese inhibitor and reduce ethylene production through reducing the ACC synthase and ACC oxidase delays senescence of flower. In this study of different concentrations of boric acid and nano-silver was eva...

The aim of this investigation was to study the relationship between activation factors and adsorption of cationic dye, methylene blue MB, by activated bentonite. The adsorption index was investigated as a function of acid type, time and temperature. A commercial bentonite was selected as a starting material and the effect of heat treatment on MB adsorption were determined in a batch setup. Thou...

In order to clarify the significance of obesity in atherosclerotic risk at different ages, the relationship between the body-mass index, serum sialic acid concentration, and various atherosclerotic risk factors were investigated for healthy subjects in three different age groups, 35-39, 40-49 and 50-59 years old. The body-mass index correlated significantly with mean arterial blood pressure, fa...

in a sustainable agriculture system, application of the fertilizers which are nature friendly and suitable for plants is essential. this becomes more important when dealing with medicinal plants. therefore, a factorial experiment in a randomized complete block design with three replications was set up in the 2012-2013 on nigella sativa l. treatments were nano­fertilizer (pharmks®) (at 2 levels ...

effect of seed priming by salicylic acid and application of controlled water stress in flowering stage on some physiological characters such as relative water content, chlorophyll index, photosynthetic rates, transpiration rates, stomatal conductance, and leaf internal co2 concentration was investigated on cowpea (vigna unguiculata l. cv. parastoo) plants. experiment was done as a split block d...

It has been reported that hypertension and obesity often coexist with hyperuricemia. To clarify the relations between serum uric acid, plasma norepinephrine, and insulin or leptin levels in subjects with weight gain-induced blood pressure elevation, we conducted the present longitudinal study. In 433 young, nonobese, normotensive men, body mass index, blood pressure, and levels of serum uric ac...

to evaluate the anti-transpiration effect on yield and yield components of corn late yield 704 under drought stress experiment split factorial randomized complete block design with three replications in spring 2012 at the research station, kermanshah. and paclobutrazol treatments include salicylic acid, which is taking on two levels. based on the values determined in the following order foliar ...
