1. introduction isfahan oil refinery (isfahan, iran) is responsible for the production of huge amounts of oil waste. as the released organic compounds are highly toxic, carcinogenic, and mutagenic, they can potentially contaminate the soil and groundwater resources of the adjacent area. this is particularly important in isfahan where arid/semi-arid climate has limited the access to adequate sur...

the effect of concentration and time of supplementary nitrogen fertilizer spray application on grain yield and nitrogen use efficiency in rapeseed (hyola401) as a second crop in paddy fields were evaluated in a field experiment conducted in randomized complete block design with 3 replications at rice research institute of iran (rasht) in 2008. in this experiment two factors, concentration of so...

abstract:â green spaces, especially urban gardens have been a subject of study in many countries for a long time, but the subject has been mostly overlooked in iran. therefore, this study tries to analyze the changes in land use and how we can protect green spaces (gardens) in jahrom in line with sustainable development in 1996-2006. the data in this study were collected through local investiga...

the effect of levels of nitrogen on growth and nitrogen uptake patterns and grain protein quality of grain sorghum was investigated by two experiments which were conducted at pakdasht-tehran in 2003. in a completely randomized design with three replications, grain sorghum (sorghum bicolor (l.) moench) hybrid h-726 was grown under greenhouse conditions using water culture technique. the first ex...

introduction there are significant differences in the spatial distribution of the iran annual precipitation. this is resulted from spatial behavior of precipitation in the one hand and variation in the sources of precipitation on the other. the lack of adequate distribution of meteorological stations and the unavailability of long-term statistics of precipitation makes the analysis of precipita...
