effects of different k/ca ratios on the growth, yield and physiological characteristics in galia (cucumis melo var. reticulatus l. naud. cv. galia) grown in hydroponics were evaluated. the experiment was arranged in a completely randomized design of three replicates. melon seeds were sown in a medium containing perlite and vermiculite (3:1 v:v) and then irrigated with water containing different...

drought tolerances of 55 indigenous strains of pseudomonas fluorescens were evaluated. to assess the tolerance rate of the strains to various levels of water deficit, their growth rate in nb medium containing concentrations of 40.587, 438.838 and 548.838 g of polyethylene glycol 6000 per liter of medium were utilized. water potentials of aforesaid levels were estimated as 0, - 10, - 20 and -30 ...

abstract introduction: the mineral content of dentin increases with age and its primary structure is altered. these changes may have unknown effects on efficiency of adhesive systems. the aim of this study was to find the effect of aging on dentin bonding agents. methods and materials: fourty eight extracted human premolars were divided into 2 groups under 15 years old & 2 groups over 45 years ...

the intensive use of antimicrobial agents worldwide for prophylactic and therapeutic purposes has been associated with increase of bacterial resistance in the exposed microbial environment. oxytetracycline is the most frequently used antibacterial in the cold water fish industry because of its broad spectrum of activity and low cost. aeromonas hydrophila and other motile aeromonads are among th...

zagros forests are a treasure of various valuable species of oak in iran and the world. long-term misuse in the past has caused severe degradation in the zagros forests. recently these forests have become national but misuses by local people to make living because of poverty and unemployment are continued. in order to reduce degradation and improve sustainability, ecological capability for exte...

to compensate for some inferior properties of recycled papers, application of processing chemical aids such as chitosan can be quite effective in the wet end section of papermaking. in this study, the performance of chitosan biopolymer, individually or associated with nanobentonite was investigated as wet end additive on recycling process of white cuttings. for this purpose, the performance of ...

introduction monitoring of salt lake dry areas is an important parameter for sustainable development and environmental protection. monitoring of dried areas of the salt lake requires extraction of thematic maps at different times. powerful tool for remote sensing of the earth different ecosystems, such as playa environments, is to produce valuable and useful data. the major causes of widespread...

an investigation of chlorophyll quick fluorsence variations was made in the reaserch field of islamic azad university- karaj in 2007. the experimental design was a split plot one in form of a complete randomized block design with 4 replications. drought stress was cosiderded in three levels of 40%, 60%, and 75%, on the basis of depletion of soil moisture as the main factor and the factor of mic...

beta-2 adrenoceptors in blood vessels are one of the active factors that play a role in regulation of tissue blood flow. in diabetic angiopathy, responsiveness of these receptors is decreased, while that is increased in inflammation. according to these opposite effects, the aim of this study was to investigate the vasodilatory response of knee joint blood vessels to salbutamol (beta-2 adrenocep...

in this study artificial neural network (ann) was used for modeling of wastewater treatment plants with using. for this purpose, the base of the quality parameters measured at the plant input, plant output value was predicted. neural network input data, including temperature (t), biochemical oxygen demand (bod), chemical oxygen demand (cod), total suspended solids (tss), total solids (ts) and p...
