in this study, aluminosilicate mcm-41 has been found to be an efficient catalyst for reaction betweendifferent benzaldehyde derivatives and 5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione to give open chain analogue of1,8-dioxo-octahydroxanthene in excellent yields. no evidence for the formation of cyclization products wasobserved. the catalyst can be used several times after recovery.

introduction todays, the application of new methods for monitoring and online management of agricultural farms is necessary to increase quality and quantity of agricultural products. remote sensing is one of the technologies that can be used to monitor agricultural farms and natural resources. this technology is capable of detection and prediction of farm changes by application of satellite and...

the plethora of studies indicated that there is a cross talk relationship between harmaline and serotonergic (5-ht) system on cognitive and non-cognitive behaviors. thus, the purpose of this study is assessment the effects of ca1 5-ht4 receptor on memory acquisition deficit induced by harmaline. harmaline was injected peritoneally, while 5-ht4 receptor agonist (rs67333) and antagonist (rs23597-...

aim : this study evaluated the association between serum endothelin- 1 level and symptoms, clinical examination, laboratory and cardio-respiratory parameters, in patients with cirrhosis compared to controls. background : cirrhosis is associated with significant portal, pulmonary and systemic vascular abnormities. recent studies have suggested that endothelin -1 may have a significant role in th...

due to the use of secale montanum for different rangelands reclamation across the country, management of these ecosystems need to be aware of its ability to environmental stresses. this research investigated the effect of pollutant element of cu and pb on seed germination and growth of this species in laboratory. therefore, the effect of five treatments (control, 50, 100, 150, 200ppm) of pb (no...

this study presents an empirical relationship of suspended sediment concentrations (sscs) inthe coastal waters, which is derived from the conventional methods, to radiometer remote sensing reflectance values (rrs) and satellite data in coastal waters of kerala. an algorithm is then developed to utilize both in situ sscs measured from conventional methods and rrs values. this algorithm is valida...

evaluation of river discharges trends is very important for water resources management and design of irrigation and drainage networks. in this research, annual, seasonal and monthly trends of maroon river discharge were evaluated using the mann-kendall and sen’s slope estimator non-parametric tests and the regression analysis parametric test. for this purpose, river discharge data from five h...

objective(s): hyperthermia is one of the most common environmental stressors that affect multi-biological systems in the body including the central nervous system as well as the hematopoietic organs. the objective of the present study was to investigate the protective role of ethanolic extract of propolis (eep) on some selective stress markers, hematological, biochemical, and histopathological ...

for designing tillage implements it would be better to estimate soil forces exerted to the implements. many researches showed that numerical method of discrete element method (dem) is the cheapest and fastest technique for modeling granular material such as soil and especially sandy soil. in this study, paraplow and bentleg tines performance was compared with conventional tine using experimenta...

a completely randomized design (crd) with three replications was conducted at greenhouse of urmia university in 2013 to study the effect of different methyl jasmonate concentrations (0, 0.1 and 0.5 mm) on the activity of enzymes polyphenol oxidase, phenylalanine ammonia lyase, catalase, ascorbate peroxidase, guaiacol peroxidase and total protein content in basil. activity of the enzymes and tot...
