1. to determine whether difference in birth body mass influenced growth performance in pipistrellus kuhlii we studied a total of 12 captive-born neonates. bats were assigned to two body mass groups: light birth body mass (lbw: 0.89 ± 0.05, n=8) and heavy birth body mass (hbw: 1.35 ± 0.08, n=4). heavier body mass at birth was associated with rapid postnatal growth (body mass and forearm length) ...

Type of growing medium affects growth of the hydroponic crops. In order to select a suitable medium for hydroponic lemon balm, two greenhouse experiments were carried out on growing media containing different particle sizes of perlite and peat moss mixed with perlite. In the first experiment, growing media treatments were very fine perlite (<0.5 mm), fine perlite (0.5-1 mm), medium perlite (1-1...

Abstract Plants need adequate nutrients in all stages of growth, which should be available in the growing medium. This study was performed to examine the effect of different substrates on nutrient uptake and quantitative and qualitative yield of greenhouse strawberry. The experiment was carried out in the research greenhouse of Jihad-e- Daneshghahi, West Azarbaijan, using a completely randomiz...

a novel silver (ag) nanocomposite electrode was proposed that fabricated from metal nanostructures and ionic liquids. the combined application of unique properties of nanomaterials and ionic liquids in the design of this ag nanocomposite results in electrodes with interesting advantages compared to the conventional metal disk electrode. in the first part of this thesis, the elecrocatalytic eff...

Hydroponic growth systems are expanding due to their advantages such as maximum yield, healthy crop production and reduced labour requirement. Vegetable in each stage of the plant growth needs adequate nutrients in different growing media. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of some growth media on N, K and Mg uptake by greenhouse cucumber. This study was carried out in the re...

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is one of the most important economical vegetable. Minitubers are small seed tubers without pathogens that are produced from invitro plantlets after translocation to greenhouse and create healthy and high quality seed tubers. Hydroponic systems increase the production of virus-free potato minitubers. This research was carried out to study the effect of different gr...
