long-term use of indwelling medical catheters has often been hindered by catheter-associated nosocomial infections. in this study the effectiveness of silver coating of polystyrene and polyethylene polymers was investigated. polymer pieces of 2 cm2 each were coated with a thin layer of silver using electroless plating technique. silver-coated polymers were challenged with cultures of four diffe...

Bio-fertilizers are naturally occurring soil bacteria that aggressively colonize plant roots and benefit plants by providing growth promotion. This investigation was aimed at determining the effect of Nitroxin bio-fertilizer application on growth, inoculation and yield production of corn hybrids. An experiment was conducted as split plot on the basis of randomized complete block design with fou...

sunflower (helianthus annus l.) is the most important between oil plants in iran. the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of micronutrients application on the sunflower yield under drought stress. this experiment was carried out at golmakan agriculture research station (iran) in 2005 that using a split plot randomized complete block design with four replications. irrigation was ...

to evaluate the effects of some phosphorus solubilizing bacteria strains on yield and agronomic traits in local bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) of guilan, different phosphate fertilizer rates were tested during 2014 growing season. this research was carried out in experimental field of agricultural and natural resource research center of guilan province as split plot arrangement based on randomize...

The idea of smart inhibitors is based on the principle that an inhibitor is used where needed. This will reduce the use of inhibitors and protect materials in hostile environments. On the other hand, direct addition of the inhibitor within the coating can be harmful, resulting in the loss of inhibitors ability, deterioration in the coating or both of them. An appropriate method for solving thes...
