Planting shrub seedlings under oil mulches has frequently been used for stabilizing mobile sands in Iran for during the last three decades. Sandy desert of Samad Abad, Sarakhs, northeast Iran, has been fixed by cultivating seedling of Haloxylon aphyllum under the oil mulches. Therefore this study was designed to investigate the effects of the sand fixation project on soil and vegetation propert...

Sandal (Santalum album L) contains several interesting amino acids and amines which are not seen in other plants. This includes cis-4-hydroxy-l-proline in free form in leaves, flowers and seeds while trans-4-hydroxy-l-proline in bound form. Traces of 3, 4 dehydroproline is also detected in sandal leaves. Biosynthesis of cis-4-hydroxy proline indicates that hydroxylation taken place at proline p...

Unexpected abscission of flowers or fruits is a major limiting factor for crop productivity. Key genes controlling abscission in plants, especially in popular fruit trees, are largely unknown. Here we identified a litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) IDA-like (INFLORESCENCE DEFICIENT IN ABSCISSION-like) gene LcIDL1 as a potential key regulator of abscission. LcIDL1 encodes a peptide that shows the c...

there are many remediating methods for the polluted soils but only phytoremediation is a cost effective, environmental friendly, aesthetically pleasing approach that is most suitable for many countries. the purpose of this study was to investigate the potential of native plants for phytoremediation of contaminated soils with lead, zinc, cadmium and nickel in the rangelands around national lead ...

There has been much interest lately in the area of Internet-based control and robotics education. This is needed because the real plants and robots are very expensive to buy. This paper presents a series of experiments in autonomous collective robotics that are taken by students in control engineering and cognitive science. They allow the student to test different control algorithms from a remo...

this is a 9uasi experimental study to compare blood pressure measurements taken by both components of stethoscope, bell and diaphragm. blood pressure was evaluated in fifty patients of fifteen years of age and older. equal populations of both genders were selected randomly from infectious, surgery and internal medicine wards. subjects with cardiac arrhythmia weren't included in the study. ...

expense and have acceptably low revenue implications. Disturbances of cardiac rhythm are common in general practice,68 and Shaper was able to show electrocardiographic evidence of ischaemic heart disease in 15% of a large sample of men aged 40-59.9 Perhaps most tellingly, home care of patients with acute myocardial infarction cannot be contemplated without establishing the diagnosis. More recen...
