introduction atmospheric circulation patterns leads to different weather conditions and rainfall regime change is controlled by seasonal and irregular variations of atmospheric circulation pattern. variety and climate change, such as drought and flood result in changes in the spatio-temporal of precipitation, one of the important parameters conditions mentioned, heterogeneity in moisture transm...

sexual behavior in most moths is limited to a precise duration period of either the day or the night. these behaviors as well as the calling behavior are specific. information on reproductive behavior is important in the chemical ecology studies. experiments were conducted to determine the developmental biology, adult time emergence and calling behaviors of three populations of carob moth, ecto...

this research was conducted to study the effects of styrene and methyl methacrylate cell lumen monomers on the mechanical properties and decay resistance of beech wood. mechanical and decay resistance test samples were prepared according to astm d143-94 and din en113 standards and impregnated with five concentration monomer solution 0, 40, 60, 80 and 100 percent using bethell method. treated sa...

introduction numerous studies have demonstrated the relationship between the amount of co2 in the atmosphere and climate change. in this respect, developed countries have an undeniable role and cause serious damage to earth environment throughout the world. ipcc’ forth evaluation report implies that adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere during recent decades prevents the heat rays to emit w...

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...

background and objectives: over the last decade, climate change has been one of the most challenging issues in the scientific papers. studying the impacts of climate change on crop productivity at regional scale will depend on the right estimate of future climate. this estimation is being implemented by climate models and most of them by general circulation models (gcms). this study aims at pre...

background and purpose     methods:     results:     conclusion:

development of remote sensing (rs) and gis techniques and that of landscape metrics in the late 1980s have caused to introduce a new dimension in the landscape ecology arena (the relationship between spatial patterns and ecological processes). however, scale dependence of some of landscape metrics and rs systems of different spatial resolution has resulted in particular attention into selection...

drought resistance is a very important characteristic needed for plant survival especially at germination stage, in arid and semi-arid lands. phosphatase enzymes are widely found in plants. these enzymes are responsible for dephosphorylation of organic phosphate and altering it to mineral phosphate. germination experiments were conducted in two bread wheat cultivars (sardari and alvand) under s...
