artemisia annua is a medicinal annual herb that widely distributed in asia, europ, north america, and also is grown in north reagions of iran. in this study, variation in the quantity and quality of the essential oil of a.annua apical shoots at different developmental stages including vegetative, early flower opening and full flowering stages is reported. the obtained oils by hydrodistilation o...

in order to investigate the effects of different irrigation regimes and zeolit on the yield, yield componentsand relative leaf water content of sorghum, a field experiment was conducted in split plot in time andspace based on randomized complete block design with three replicates in research station of shahidbahonar university of kerman in 2011. irrigation regimes (100, 80, 60 and 40% of field ...

in this research, moisture sorptions of sayer date were determined at 20, 30, 40 and 60°c, using the standard static gravimetric method developed by the european cooperation project cost 90. several mathematical models, namely gab, bet, iglesias & chirif and halsey were employed to fit the experimental data through non-linear regression. results indicate that equilibrium moisture content increa...

architectural programming, as a realm in the design process, is considered to be one of the most valuable assets of the design research. through the use of architectural programming, a designer becomes familiar with different issues of the project and establishes his/her goals to produce an appropriate design solution. an ideal design solution requires a thorough understanding about the needs o...

precise application of the n fertilizer rate is critical to achieve maximum yield. in major regions, empirical methods were used for determining n fertilizer requirement. these methods cannot take into account variation in management and environmental conditions on determining fertilizer requirement. crop simulation models can provide an alternative means of determining the optimum crop n requi...

a synoptic method based on stream analysis is applied to understand the governing mechanism of summer rainfall occurrence in the south of iran. based on this, the rainfall data of 152 stations of iran were analyzed for a 33-year period (1970-2002). investigating the spatial and temporal distribution of summer rainfall, a typical rainy region is recognized in the south east of iran. it is found ...

introduction climate change happens due to abnormal changes of climate within the earth’s atmosphere and their consequences. one of the most significant effects of climate change is the irreversible damage to some floral species and forest ecosystems. tree species reflect the impact of climate changes on their ring width. generally, tree rings vary in size each year depending upon the environme...

in order to evaluate the waterlogging stress effects on yield and yield components of rapeseed, a pot experiment was conducted at gorgan university of agricultural sciences and natural resources during 2010-2011. the experiment design was completely randomized with factorial arrangement and three replications. examined factors were developmental stage (seedling, stem elongation, flowering and g...
