to answer this question that if osmopriming improve germination indices in salinity-affected seeds of pinus eldarica medw., a factorial experiment in randomized completely design was carried out with three replications. osmotic treatments were applied in 5 levels (-2, -4, -6 and -8 bar for 72 hours and non-primed) by polyethylene glycol (peg) and salinity treatments in 8 levels (0, 40, 80, 120,...

This thesis proposes a concept and transformations for designing interactions in a service composition at related abstraction levels. The concept and transformations are aimed at helping designers to bridge the conceptual gap between the business and software domains. In this way, the complexity of an interaction design can be managed adequately. A service composition is specified as one or mor...

The paper deals with the reliability–based design optimization (RBDO) of concrete gravity dams subjected to earthquake load using subset simulation. The optimization problem is formulated such that the optimal shape of concrete gravity dam described by a number of variables is found by minimizing the total cost of concrete gravity dam for the given target reliability. In order to achieve this p...

APPL1 is an effector of the small GTPase Rab5. Together, they mediate a signal transduction pathway initiated by ligand binding to cell surface receptors. Interaction with Rab5 is confined to the amino (N)-terminal region of APPL1. We report the crystal structures of human APPL1 N-terminal BAR-PH domain motif. The BAR and PH domains, together with a novel linker helix, form an integrated, cresc...

This paper focuses on methodological issues relevant to corrosion risk prediction models. A model was developed for the of rates associated with hot-dip galvanised reinforcement bar material in concrete exposed carbonation and chlorides outdoor environment. One-year follow-up experiments, over five years, were conducted at various depths chloride contents. The observed dependence rate depth con...
