in order to identify drought stress tolerance in rapeseed, nine commercial rapeseed cultivars (opera, karaj1, karaj2, karaj3, zarfam, okapi, talayeh, licord and modena) were evaluated under two conditions (normal and drought stress) in kangavar region in the west iran in 2014-2015 growing season. this research was carried out in a split plot experiment based on completely randomized design in f...

Salt deposits are commonly regarded as ideal hosts for geologic energy reservoirs. Underground cavern construction-induced damage in salt is reduced by self-healing. Thus, studying the influencing factors on such healing processes is important. This research uses ultrasonic technology to monitor the longitudinal wave velocity variations of stress-damaged rock salts during self-recovery experime...

Ionic liquid N-ethylpyridinium hydrogen sulfate has been prepared, characterized and used as an efficient recyclable catalyst for the synthesis of a series of indoles and bis(indolyl)methanes. Latter have been further explored for their potential antimicrobial activity against E coli and Bacillus. The ionic liquid used was recycled in the end and its recovery was facilitated b...

Cryptosporidium parvum can be found in both source and drinking water and has been reported to cause serious waterborne outbreaks which threaten public health safety. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has developed method 1622 for detection of Cryptosporidium oocysts present in water. Method 1622 involves four key processing steps: filtration, immunomagnetic separation (IMS), fluorescent...

The conventional oil recovery system in the Fushun oil shale retorting plant has a low oil recovery rate. A large quantity of fresh water is used in the system, thereby consuming a considerable amount of water and energy, as well as polluting the environment. This study aims to develop a closed process of shale oil recovery from the circulating washing water for the Fushun oil shale retorting p...

an industrial gas turbine has the characteristic of decreasing output power on hot summer days while electricity demand peaks. steam injection in gas turbines has been used for many years to prevent the loss of performance of gas turbines caused by high ambient temperature. vodoley system is a closed steam injection gas turbine cycle (csigtc), which is known as a self-sufficient in steam produc...
