Bagasse as a real biomass was converted to hydrogen rich gas via catalytic supercritical water gasification process. To find the effect of Cu on selectivity of products, Cu promoted Ni-γAl2O3 catalysts were prepared with 1 to 20wt% Ni and 0.5 to 10wt% Cu loadings via impregnation method. Catalysts were characterized by ICP, BET, XRD, H2 chemisorption and TEM technique as well CHNS analysis was ...

There is increased interest in the use of summer-season fires to limit woody plant encroachment into grasslands, but effects of these fires on grasses are poorly understood. We quantified effects of repeated winter fires, repeated summer fires, and clipping (to simulate grazing) on aboveground total yield, live yield, and percentage of live tissue of C3 Texas wintergrass (Nassella leucotricha [...

The correlations among seed yield components, and their direct and indirect effects on the seed yield (Z) of Russina wildrye (Psathyrostachys juncea Nevski) were investigated. The seed yield components: fertile tillers m(-2) (Y(1)), spikelets per fertile tillers (Y(2)), florets per spikelet(-) (Y(3)), seed numbers per spikelet (Y(4)) and seed weight (Y(5)) were counted and the Z were determined...

to investigate the effects of sowing date on yield and quality of six forage maize cultivars in rasht region, a field study was conducted in 2010. the experimental design was a randomized complete block using a factorial arrangement with three replications. treatments consisted of four levels of sowing date (22 may, 3, 15 and 25 june), and six maize cultivars (sc 260, dc 370, sc 500, sc 647, sc...

to study the effect of planting date on morphological characteristic, yield and essential oil content of achillea millefolium sub sp millefolium.l., an experiment in a randomized complete blocks design (rcbd) with four treatments including four planting date (6 july, 1 august, 7 september and 7 october) in four replications was conducted. during the growing stage and at the end of experiment pe...
