In many Norwegian alpine and tundra areas sheep and reindeer graze sympatrically. Areas covered with dung or urine may have consequences for reindeer pasture utilization. Experiments were conducted on 5 stall fed male reindeer calves where animals were individually presenred with two troughs (experimental and control) containing 200 g of concentrate. Fresh and dry sheep and reindeer pellets (50...

oxidation of methyl orange (mo) solution in potassium peroxydisulfate (kps) homogeneous reaction system without uv irradiation was investigated. the result shows that decolorization of mo increases as the dosage of k2s2o8 increases. the kinetic results demonstrate that the decolorization reaction is a pseudo first-order reaction when the concentration of mo is below 10 mg/l and langmuir–hinshew...

abstract navel oranges are cultivated in many countries including iran and in comparable to with other cultivars of citrus have an especial importance in the world the quality and quantity of this product in fluenced by many factors. this research was carried out to investigate the effect of 2,4-d and k2so4 and their interaction on quantitative and qualitative characteristics of sweet orange cv...

turf is one of the most important ground covers and it is one of the main elements ofurban landscape design. plant growth regulators, such as growth inhibitors, are widelyused in turfgrass management to suppress shoot growth and inflorescences production.this experiment was conducted to determine the interactive effects of trinexapac-ethyl(te) and salinity on the growth, visual quality, and che...

to study the effect of glyphosate application rate and timing on johnsongrass (sorghum halepense) vegetative and reproductive growth, three experiments were conducted in field, greenhouse, and laboratory in the agronomy department of university of tehran, karaj, in 2007 & 2008. in each experiment, treatments were arranged in completely randomized (greenhouse & laboratory) and completely randomi...

effects of different carbon sources on growth and production of antifungal agent(s) by gymnopilus spectabilis were investigated. different carbon sources including; glucose, fructose, lactose, maltose, manitol and sucrose at the concentration of 10 g/l and slow releasing carbon sources including malt extract and soluble starch at the concentration of 2g/l were used. inhibition of spore germinat...

We assessed the toxicity of permethrin residues from barrier treatments for mosquito control on monarch butterßy (Danaus plexippus L.) larvae and adults. The motivation for this study was an absence of work on the effects of this commonly used insecticide on nontarget herbivorous insects and the fact that monarchsÕ host plant, milkweed (Asclepias spp.), is often found in treated areas. In one e...

high congestion of returned product at remanufacturing facility causes substantial delays and consequently remarketing value losses for time-sensitive and high-tech products with short life cycles, such as electronic equipments. at the remanufacturing site the returned product are inspected and classified according to their quality and processing time in one of the two classes: class 1 being ad...
