We review basic concepts as well as recent examples and applications of organic-organic heterostructures. We organize the different types of heterostructures according to material A deposited on material B (A/B), A co-deposited with B (A:B), heterostructures in the monolayer regime including nanostructuring concepts and systems involving self-assembled monolayers, as well as various other archi...

Environmental awareness is increasing around the world, however, production of eco-friendly food products has started to gain importance in order protect nature and reduce dependence on it. In addition, due people, it increases demand for healthy foods. As a result, organic farming developing number product farms increasing. Organic aquaculture have also take their place this big market. Althou...

We analyze the organic and non-organic production choices of two firms by considering customers’ trust in organic food products. In the context of customers’ possible willingness to pay a premium price and their mistrust in organic food products, two firms first make choices on offering organic and non-organic food products. If offering organic products, a firm can further invest in the credenc...

Formation of non bonded organic layer around inorganic particles like iron sulfide and zeolites, was hypothesized as starting point for one of the possible mechanisms of the origin of life on earth. In this study, the general circumstances needed for creation of such organic layer was investigated. An aliphatic hydrocarbon (hexane), an aromatic hydrocarbon (toluene), an alcohol (n-octanol) and ...

realizing that there is no specific market for organic products in iran, in this study it is tried to estimate the costs involved in organic productions by means of contingent valuation method and through willingness-to-pay estimation approach. towards this end 219 and 209 double-bounded dichotomous questionnaires were developed (for cucumber in tehran province and for vegetables in gilan provi...

The consumption of organic food has grown remarkably, both in developed and developing countries. Although organic food comprises only a small fraction of the food market, its rapid growth has generated much interest among consumers and businesses, as well as researchers. For products to be called organic, the production must conform to a certain established organic standard and be certified by...

traditional agriculture and non-chemical crop production have a long story; however organic agriculture which relies on local and in-farm inputs, with the aim of protecting ecological balances and developing biological cycles on the one hand while regarding regulations and specific standards on the other hand, doesn’t have a very long history. there are numerous environmental reasons for the pr...
