in order to investigate effect of application of nitroxin and nitrogen chemical fertilizer on yield and yield components, split plot experiment on the basis of randomized complete block design with four replications was conducted. four levels of nitrogen fertilizer (n1: 100% chemical fertilizer, n2: 75% chemical fertilizer + 100% biological fertilizer, n3: 50% chemical fertilizer + 100% biologi...

in this paper, 4,4ʹ-bipyridinium dichloride  supported sba-15 (sba@bipy2+ 2cl-) was used for the synthesis of dihydropyrimidinones. the synthesized catalyst was characterized by ft-ir spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (sem), transmission electron microscopy (tem) and thermogravimetric analysis (tga). this nanocomposite was shown to be an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the synthes...

the aim of the present study was to examine the effect of grafting of watermelon hybrids ‘obla f1’ and ‘vanessa f1’ on to cucurbita maxima × cucurbita moschata rootstock tz 148 and lagenaria sp. rootstock ‘dias f1’, on the volatiles and yield of fruit and the plant growth. fruit volatiles analysis showed the presence of two aldehydes, namely (e)-2-nonenal and (e,z)-2,6-nonadien-1-al, with (e)-2...

in this work, we dissect the performance of  two modern perdew-burke-ernzerhof (pbe)-based double-hybrid (dh) density functionals to predict the isotropic and anisotropic polarizabilities of water nanoclusters (h2o)n [n = 2-6]. the considered models include the cubic integrand (ci) and quadratic integrand (qi) functions as well as the spin-opposite-scaled (sos) scheme for perturbative correlati...

a series of two experiments was conducted to study the optimum dietary protein level and protein to energy ratio of lemon fin barb hybrid larvae. in experiment 1, five isocaloric diets (4700 kcal per kg) ranging from 40 to 60% protein in 5% increments were fed to triplicate groups of lemon fin barb hybrid larvae (initial weight: 0.10 ± 0.01 mg per fish) for 21 days. weight gain of fish was prop...

nanoindentation techniques are widely used for the study of nanomechanical properties of thin nanocomposite coatings. theoretical concepts and practical use of nanoindentation method are summarized with reporting the applications of these tests in characterization of some particular thin nanocomposite hybrid coatings prepared by sol-gel process. the better mechanical properties can be obtained ...

vibrio cholerae o1 are classified into two biotypes, classical and el tor based on susceptibility to bacteriophages and some biochemical properties, each encoding a biotype-specific genetic determinants. before 1961, most epidemics had been caused by the classical biotype. however, with the passage of time, the classical biotype missed from the scenario and the el tor emerged as the major bioty...

conclusions islam has a unique perspective on spiritual health as it encompasses all aspects of human beings. thus, it is necessary to carefully study the difference between the islamic concept of spiritual health and that of other religions and ideologies to design suitable and useful nursing care for iranian patients that satisfy their spiritual needs. results the relevant literature in the t...

the objective of the present study is the synthesis of mwcnt-tio2 hybrid nanostructures by solvothermal synthesis method with ticl4 as precursor. the heat transfer enhancement due to the use of mwcnt-tio2 nanofluid was investigated. as-prepared hybrid materials were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscopy (sem). the results showed that mwcnts were uniformly dec...

dehghan (ksc 400) is an early-medium maturity grain maize hybrid that has been developed from a cross between two inbred lines (ke72012/12×k1263/1). this cross was carried out in 1997, for the first time. the characteristics of dehghan hybrid were studied in different trials (preliminary, semi final, final and on farm trials) in several locations during 1997 to 2005. the mean grain yield of the...
