drought is a major limiting factor for agricultural production in most parts of the world and landraces areimportant genetic resources for crop improvement in dry areas. during the 2007-2008 cropping season, 23 chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) genotypes consisting of 21 kabuli chickpea landraces provided by the national plant gene bank of iran and two known commercial varieties (hashem and arman) ...

Critically ill patients demonstrate established or impending multi-organ failure which may be due an acute condition such as sepsis or trauma, a deterioration in a chronic condition, or failure to progress during the recovery process and is often in part due to intrinsic risk factors such as age and concomitant disease processes (Loftus and Royal College of Surgeons of England, 2010). Survivors...

In this paper, based on the block (element)-wise inverse Jacket matrix, a unified fast hybrid diagonal block-wise transform (FHDBT) algorithm is proposed. A new fast diagonal block matrix decomposition is made by the matrix product of successively lower order diagonal Jacket matrix and Hadamard matrix. Using a common lower order matrix in the form of 1 1, a fast recursive structure can be devel...

application of bio-fertilizers, especially mycorrhiza as substituent or complement of chemical fertilizers is one of the most important strategies for plant nutrition in sustainable management of agro-ecosystems. in order to evaluate the separated and integrated application of mycorrhiza biological fertilizer and phosphorus chemical fertilizers on growth indices of chickpea (cicer arietinum l.)...

in order to study the effects of foliar application of si (5/1000 ratio), k (2/1000 ratio) and zn (2/1000 ratio) on rice (cv. tarom hashem), an on-farm experiment carried out based on randomized complete block design with three replications in 2012. some traits such as paddy yield and yield components, neck blast disease and stem borer damage were evaluated. results showed that the effect of fo...

in order to study of genetic variation and identification of yield components in chickpea, a trial consists of 96 accessions of chickpea received from iranian gen bank (seed and plant improvement institute) along with five checks (arman, bivanij, jam, hashem and ilc-482) was conducted based on an augmented design in 2005-06 cropping season at research farm of agricultural college, razi universi...

in order to evaluate a better sowing date of chickpea cultivars in dry land conditions, a factorial experiment in randomized complete block design with four replications was carried out at research station of bahar (hamadan province) during 2005-2006 cropping season. two planting time included winter and spring and four chickpea cultivars (cvs.) including one local (check) and three improved cv...

the cotton bollworm, helicoverpa armigera (hübner), is a serious pest on a wide range of economic crops in many parts of the world. in this study, digestive proteolytic and amylolytic activities of h. armigera larvae (3rd to 5th instars) were evaluated on five main host plants including chickpea (cv hashem), cowpea (cv mashhad), soybean (cv 033), navybean (cv dehghan), and corn (cv sc 704) at 2...

climate is a complex system which is changing mainly due to the increase of greenhouse gases. because of the importance of climate change and the effects it can have on water resources, in recent years, this topic has been taken into consideration for different basins on earth. the objective of this study is to investigate the effects of climate change and forecasting meteorological variables o...

Introduction: One of the most common problems during laryngoscopy involves sympathetic system stimulation and the subsequent hemodynamic changes. It is a key measure to maintain the hemodynamic stability of patients with cardiovascular diseases during induction of anesthesia. This study attempted to compare the hemodynamic effects of laryngeal mask airway and combitube. Methods: This prospec...
