the physico-chemical characteristics and physiological qualities of palm (phoenix dactylifera) fruit strongly depend on the storage conditions. storage environment and packaging type are the factors most influencing on the quality of dates during their storage. date fruits were packed within an aerobic atmosphere, vacuumed in pa/pe pouches and stored at different temperatures (-20, 4, 25 and 40...

the evaluation and comparison of somatotype with elite athletes is a method to predict the chances of success in sports particularly in the olympic sport of wrestling. the aim of the present study was to describe the somatotypic profile of 9-13-year-old boys in northern, mountainous and desert areas with a territorial planning approach and an emphasis on the geographical areas potential for wre...

to inspect the effect of methyl salicylate (mesa) vapor on fruit shelf life quality in kiwifruit (actinidia chinensis cv. hayward) an experiment was carried out in citrus research institute, ramsar, iran in 2006-2007. the experiment was based on a completely random design of three replications. the treatments consisted of mesa at five rates (0, 8, 16, 24 and 32 µl/l) and storage time of five le...

in this study, optimized adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (oanfis) was employed on a set of daily, weekly, 10-days and monthly data of inflow water into the alavian dam to predict the real-time inflow of the reservoir. sequential and exhaustive search algorithms were used to determine the numbers and time steps of the model inputs and also reducing the prediction’s errors. in sequential se...

the moe and mor are controlled by production variables of particleboard process. now, the basic question is which of the particleboard variables is effective on bending strength property? 13 variables of internal scientific resources were measured with 100 repeats. the study steps include the following; liner regression or stepwise, genetic algorithm, and artificial neural network. the number o...

background: in this study, two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-de) method was applied to determine and compare the protein spots expressed in the two field isolates of leishmania major and recovered from the patients who were clinically sensitive and resistant to glucantime® treatment. methods: leishmania parasites were isolated from the cutaneous lesions of two cl infected patients in shira...

introduction climate is a system consisting of atmosphere, lithosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. this system is involved in the exchange of energy and moisture among these five components. the exchanges link the atmosphere as the central component of the climate to other spheres. changes do not occur separately in this system; rather change in one component contributes to reactio...
