Background: Combustion of fossil fuels contributes to sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions. To deal with this issue, the government of Iran has appointed the oil refineries to upgrade their installations and produce high quality fuels. Thus, this study investigated the status of SO2 emissions in Iran and the capability of advanced technologies to control SO2 emissions. Methods: The status of SO2 em...

The present study aims to assess the effect of Thiobacillus and sulfur on morphological and biochemical properties of medicinal pumpkinproperties under deficit irrigation based on a split-plot design. For this purpose, water stress was applied as a main factor in three levels (control, no irrigation in flowering stage, no irrigation in fruiting), and Thiobacillus and sulfur fertilizers as sub-p...

We present our work on the halo evolution of sulfur, based on observations of the S I lines around 9220 Å for ten stars for which the S abundance was obtained previously from much weaker S I lines at 8694 Å. We cannot confirm the rise and the high [S/Fe] abundances for low [Fe/H], as claimed in the literature from analysis of the 8694 Å lines. The reasons for claims of an increase in [S/Fe] wit...

Background & Aim: Persian shallot (Allium hirtifolium Boiss) with common name of "Musir" is one of the endemic medicinal plants in Iran. Leaves and bulbs with antibacterial, antifungal, anticancer, anti-diabetes and anti-obesity effects are edible parts of this plant. The tissue culture is an influential method to multiply plant productions in order to meet demands of ...

to study the effects of biological and manure fertilizer on quantity and quality characteristics of roselle (hibiscus sabdariffa l.), an experiment was conducted as split plot based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at the agricultural research center of zabol university, iran during growing season of 2012-2013. treatments included three manure level; 0, 10 and 20 t....

introduction: sulfur is the key element for higher crops and plays an important role in the formation of proteins, vitamins, and enzymes. it is a constituent of amino acids such as cysteine and methionine, which act for the synthesis of other compounds containing reduced sulfur, such as chlorophyll and utilization of phosphorus and otheressential nutrients.deficiency of this nutrient in soil is...

Large reserves of coal in Tabas region of Iran are characterized by low ash and high caking index, suitable for use in metallurgy as coking coal. However, these coals cannot be gainfully utilized because of their high sulfur content. In this work, studies on desulfurization of Tabas coals were carried out in a batch reactor using various reagents. The most effective reagents,<...
