The water use efficiency under conventional flood method of irrigation, which is predominantly practised in Indian agriculture, is very low due to substantial conveyance and distribution losses. Recognizing the fast decline of irrigation water potential and increasing demand for water from different sectors, a number of demand management strategies and programmes have been introduced to save wa...

rainfall deficiency and the development of salinity in iran are the most important factors for using new salt and drought-resistant plants instead of conventional crops. kochia species have recently attracted the attention of researchers as a forage and fodder crop in marginal lands worldwide due to its drought and salt tolerant characteristics. this field experiment was performed at the salini...

The effects of 2 concentrations of kinetin, i.e., 2 and 4 mM together with 2 levels of drought stress, i.e., moderate (35% soil saturation capacity) and severe (20% soil saturation capacity) were investigated on the growth parameters of tomato including fresh and dry leaf weight, leaf number, leaf surface area, fruit number, fruit weight, and enzymatic antioxidants. To this end, first tomato pl...

Kawai, Makoto, Munir Hussain, and Clive H. Orchard. Cs1 inhibits spontaneous Ca21 release from sarcoplasmic reticulum of skinned cardiac myocytes. Am. J. Physiol. 275 (Heart Circ. Physiol. 44): H422–H430, 1998.—The effect of Cs1 on the function of the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) has been investigated in skinned cardiac myocytes. Isolated rat ventricular myocytes were permeabilized using...

in order to investigate the effects of different irrigation regimes on yield and growth indices of three chickpea cultivars, an experiment was conducted during the 2007 growing season at mashhad (iran). six irrigation regimes including i1; full irrigation, i2; irrigation at branching, i3; irrigation at flowering, i4; irrigation at pod formation, i5; irrigation at seed filling stage and i6; dry ...

in order to study the different levels of irrigation on diversity, density and compound of weed species in corn field, experiment was conducted at agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad during growing season of 2008-2009. the experiment was with four levels of irrigation (6130, 7290, 8800 and 12330 m3) and four levels of weed control (complete control, broad-leaves contro...

In Introductory Computer Science courses, especially Computer Science 1 (CS1), dropout rates are generally high and results are often disappointing. In order to motivate and engage students to achieve better results in CS1, our teaching strategy is based on designing several activities using a competences oriented approach. This paper describes the use of a framework proposed by Crismond and Ad...
