the aim of this study was to evaluate germination of different sesame genotypes on response to temperature. heat and cold tolerance indexes were determined using cardinal temperatures and evaluations of genotypes were conducted to tolerate high or low temperatures using determined indexes. in order to, germination tests were conducted in fixed temperatures incubators with 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35...

Objective- To assess the feasibility of splenectomy using intracorporeal ligature placement technique. Design- Randomized experimental study. Animals- Dogs (n=7) weighting≥ 20 kg. Procedures- Dogs were randomly selected. A lap-assisted splenectomy was performed. The feasibility of splenectomy was examined using intracorporeal ligatures. Comparisons were made regarding the anes...

in this study, growth and survival of the caspian whitefish, rutilus frisii kutum, (mean weight 0.59±0.06g) have been estimated at different rearing salinities (0, 5 and 10‰) and temperatures (24 and 28˚c). maximum fish weight gain (493.65±14.07%) and specific growth rate (sgr) (2.74±0.15%), and minimum feed conversion ratio (fcr) (1.66±0.06) were obtained at salinity of 5‰ and temperature of 2...

In this experiment six healthy adult dairy Jersey cattles and eight calves (aged 4-6 months) were selected to measure temperature of different body skin sites, rectal temperature, respiration and heart rates during summer and winter. Body sites maximum and minimum temperature in calves during summer belonged to the ear, forehead, right flank, abdomen (38.4-38.9 ˚C) and carpus (32 ˚C). This was ...

evaporation is a fundamental parameter in the hydrological cycle. this study examines the performance of m5model tree and artificial neural network (ann) models in estimating potential evapotranspiration calculated bypenman- monteith and hargreaves- samani equations. daily weather data from two meteorological stations in asemi-arid climate of iran, namely kerman and zahedan, were collected duri...

in this study, climatic parameters are used to evaluate the sensitivity of reference evapotranspiration in isfahan and rasht with two semi-arid and moderate climates using two intelligent methods during 1970-2010. in this research, multi-layer precpetron e (mlp) and gene expression programming (gep) intelligent models are used in order to analyze the sensitivity of reference evapotranspiration ...
