Large areas of Iran are under the influence of wind erosion thus it is important that we recognize three zones ofremoval, transportation and deposition. The deposition zone is very important due to more damages and tangibleeffects. In this study we try to obtain a comprehensive idea to Persian desert with use of laboratory facilities, remotesensing, GIS and field surveying. We survey 28 ergs in...

The effects of rare earth addition and hot extrusion process on the grain refinement of magnesium alloy were studied. The as-cast Mg-6Al-1Zn (AZ61) alloy had the average grain size of ~ 64 µm and its microstructure consisted of α-Mg and Mg17Al12 phase. By partial substitution of Al with Gd to reach Mg-4.8Gd-1.2Al-1Zn alloy, it was observed that the Mg17Al12 phase disappeared and two new interme...

A new statistical theory is introduced that takes into account the coupling between grain size, shape and crystallographic texture during deformation of polycrystalline microstructures. A “grain size orientation distribution function” (GSODF) is used to encode the probability density of finding a grain size D along a direction (given by unit vector n) in grains with orientation g. The GSODF is ...

to study the nature and magnitude of gene effects, heritability and number of effective factors for grain yield and some yield components in rice, six generations viz., p1, p2, f1, f2, bc1 and bc2 were prepared from the crosses of shapasand × irfaon-215 and irfaon-215 × saleh and grown in a randomized complete design with three replications. results of analysis of variance showed significant di...

Grain morphology in wheat (Triticum aestivum) has been selected and manipulated even in very early agrarian societies and remains a major breeding target. We undertook a large-scale quantitative analysis to determine the genetic basis of the phenotypic diversity in wheat grain morphology. A high-throughput method was used to capture grain size and shape variation in multiple mapping populations...
