in order to evaluate drought tolerance of chickpea genotypes and identifying the best indices of drought tolerance, the 20 genotypes desi chickpea plus two improved cultivars (kaka and piroz) were tested using a randomized complete block design under two irrigated (non stress) and (stress) conditions. quantitive drought tolerance and susceptibility indices such as stress tolerance index (sti), ...

using piezoelectric patches the stress concentration around a hole on a plate under tension is reduced and controlled. to attain the reduction in stress two placements for piezoelectric patches is investigated. the first location is top/bottom of the hole with compression induced strain and the second is left/right of the hole with tension induced strains to control the stress flow. the result ...

background and objectives: job stress is not always caused directly by the stressful sources, but it results more from the way in which those sources are perceived. therefore, a lot of factors are effective in job stress. as such, the present study was done to predict the job stress based on spiritual intelligence and self-diffrentiation of teachers of exceptional children in the town of shahri...

in order to evaluate the effect of terminal water deficit stress on leaf traits and their relations to grain yield in different barley genotypes (‘yousof’, ‘fajr30’, ‘nosrat’, ‘pbyt-46’, ‘pbyt-97’ and ‘morocco’), two separated experiments were conducted in stress (water withholding from anthesis towards the end of growing season), and non stress (normal irrigation) conditions based on rcbd with...

At percent, Zn stress tolerance using novel genetic resources is an important mitigation strategy for plant breeding. In this study, thirty-five durum wheat genotypes with different growth habits were evaluated under normal (non-stress) and Zn deficient stress during the 2014-15 cropping season. A total of ten Zn stress tolerance indices including stress tolerance index (STI), relative zinc-def...
