Novel actuator materials are necessary to advance the field of soft robotics. However, since current solutions limited in terms strain, strain rate, or robustness, a new type was developed. In its basic configuration, this consisted four layers and self-coiled into helix after pre-stretching. The principle dielectric polymer actuator. Instead an elastomer, thin thermoplastic film, case polyethy...

in order to study different arrangements and weed controls effects on mung bean (vigna radiate l. wilczek) – black cumin (nigella sativa l.) intercropping an experiment was conducted at the research station of faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, during growing season 2005 – 2006. sixteen treatments comprising combinations of eight sowing patterns [a1: sole black cumin,...

introduction cultivation of medicinal plants in agricultural ecosystems plays an important role in the diversification and sustainability of these systems (rezaei-chiyaneh & dabbagh mohammadi nassab, 2014). therefore, the application of ecological principles such as multi-ship system seems essential in the production of these plants. zarifpour et al. (2014) in intercropping arrangements of cumi...

Nano-sized γ-Al2O3 was synthesized successfully by a simple method using Al2(SO4)3·18H2O as aluminium source and in the presence of polyethylene glycol (PEG 2000). FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) were used to characterize the structure and morphology of synthesized powder. The results showed that PEG playe...

ِdfferent drip (surface and subsurface) and furrow irrigation methods effects on grain, oil and water use efficiency based on grain black cumin(nigella sativa l.) as medicinal plants was investigated. for this purpose, experiment over the past two years (2009 and 2010) in a randomized complete block was designed in three replications. treatments in this research were consisting of 50, 75 and 100...

to determine the effects of priming and planting density on improvement of morphological and physiological traits of the two hybrid corns sc (s.c. 704) under double cropping in sari, a split plot experiment as randomized complete block design with four replications was conducted in 2010. treatments included two densities of 80 and 100 thousand plants per hectare as the first factor and osmoprim...
