in order to evaluate the effects of foliar application of methanol on some physiological characteristics of chickpea under drought stress, an experiment was conducted as a factorial based on completely randomized design with three replications in 2011 at the recearch center of plant for sciences in ferdowsi university of mashhad. the first factor was different levels of methanol including, 0 (c...

according to the global water shortage problem, the exploring for reducing its harmful effects is very important. this experiment was conducted as split plots method based on randomized complete block design with three replicates in urmia university research field during growing season of 2013-14. water deficit stress as main plot consisted of three levels (irrigation when soil moisture reached...

Relative entropy is a measure of distinguishability for quantum states, and it plays a central role in quantum information theory. The family of Renyi entropies generalizes to Renyi relative entropies that include, as special cases, most entropy measures used in quantum information theory. We construct a Euclidean path-integral approach to Renyi relative entropies in conformal field theory, the...

effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (glomus mossea ca) and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) of bacillus pantea and psedomonas putida were evaluated on growth parameters of osteospermum (osteospermum hybrida ‘passion mix’) under different watering conditions (field capacity, two and one third of field capacity). arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (amf) and pgpr were applied as single ...

Drought stress is one of the main restrictions in plant production in arid and semi-arid regions. Adding superabsorbent agents that maintain water in the soil, is among strategies to cope with drought stress. Therefore, in order to investigate the effect of zeolite superabsorbent on the physiological properties of carrot plants, the experiment was carried out as a factorial in a completely rand...

one of the most important parameters in evaluating a watermarking algorithm is its capacity. generally, watermarking capacity is expressed by bits per pixel (bpp) unit measure. but this measure does not show what the side effects would be on image quality, watermark robustness and capacity. in this paper we propose a three dimensional measure named capacity surface which shows the effects of ca...

BACKGROUND Influenza vaccination policy for elderly people in Britain has changed twice since 1997 to increase protection against influenza but there is no information available on how this has affected vaccine uptake, and socioeconomic variation therein, among people aged over 74 years. METHODS Vaccination information for 1997-2000 was collected directly from general practices taking part in...

To study interferential effect of lamb's-quarters (Chenopodium album L.) on marigold (Calendula officinalis) yield and lamb's-quarters seed production two factorial field experiments were conducted in Tabriz, Iran, during 2010-2011. Treatments were densities of lamb's-quarters (0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 plants per meter row) and relative times of its emergence (0, 10, 20, 30 and 40 days after marigold e...

We developed a method to fabricate an array of silver non-planar nano-arc-gaps via inverted hemispherical colloidal lithography and shadow metal evaporation methods. It is found that there is a localized surface plasmon mode which results in extraordinary optical transmission. The electric field is strongly localized at the nano-arc-gap region and therefore induces a resonance that has an ultra...
