in order to  study of environment × genotype interaction and selection of stable and high yielding and cold  tolerant chickpea lines, this study carried out  with 13 chickpea genotypes along with one local check (jam) in a rcb design with four replications during three cropping seasons (2009-2012) in agricultural research station of maragheh (dari). the genotypes were exposed to cold temperatur...

this paper deals with evaluating the thermal behavior of exterior walls in dwellings of a particular place. today, there is a huge increase in constructing multi-storey apartment buildings and single-family houses in the city of yazd, a city with hot dry climate and a rich historical architecture in iran. unfortunately, the new methods that are used nowadays to make the envelopes of these dwell...

Background: Staphylococcus aureus has always been known as an important kind of bacteria causing food poisoning. This study was carried out to determine S. aureus contamination in cream pastries collected from popular confectioneries in Hamedan, Iran; also, presence of the gene encoding Staphylococcal Enterotoxin A (SEA) was studied in the isolates. Methods: During April to October 2014 (as ho...

Anthropogenic changes in precipitation pose a serious threat to society-particularly in regions such as the Middle East that already face serious water shortages. However, climate model projections of regional precipitation remain highly uncertain. Moreover, standard resolution climate models have particular difficulty representing precipitation in the Middle East, which is modulated by complex...

the objectives in the cold rolling process include improved sheet surface quality, enhanced steel mechanical strength, and better solidification operations. given the increasing demand for higher steel surface quality, more rapid production, and thinner steel plates, more attention has been directed toward the parameter of temperature in cold rolling as a means of achieving the above objectives...

Only recently has specific attention been given to culturable bacteria in Tibetan glaciers, but their relation to atmospheric circulation is less understood yet. Here we present the results of culturable bacteria preserved in an ice core drilled from the East Rongbuk (ER) glacier, Himalayas. The average concentrations of culturable bacteria are 5.0, 0.8, 0.1 and 0.7 CFU mL−1 for the glacier ice...

introduction climate has always been one the main factors of designing urban spaces in iran since past centuries. by analyzing urban spaces it can be concluded that different cities have different urban spaces due to climate differences. one of the main reasons of the differences in the type and orientation of urban spaces is the climate as one of the key factors in designing these areas. regar...

The Yale University Prehistoric Expedition to Nubia was part of UNESCO'S international program to salvage the monuments of Nubia, with the direct aid of the Department of Antiquities of the United Arab Republic. The Yale Prehistoric Expedition worked in Upper Egypt and Egyptian Nubia for three field seasons during 1962-1965 inclusive (Reed, 1966). My own participation was limited to the last se...

the major lymphoid tissues in teleost fish are the kidneys, thymus, spleen and mucosa-associatedlymphoid tissue including the skin, gills and intestine. the head of kidney (pronephros) is an importanthaematopoietic organ and has morphological similarities with the bone marrow in higher vertebrates. in thisstudy, during 12 months from august 2002 to july 2003, 120 grass carp (10 fish/month) were...

Paths assumed by tropical cyclones in different fall seasons are related to the form of the prevailing mid-tropospheric general circulation. It is inferred that areas of vulnerability or invulnerability to these storms seem to be prescribed by the climatologically preferred circulation pattern during a given year, and for this reason expanded research along these lines could be highly rewarding...
