Biological fertilizers are compounds comprising various free living microorganisms that are able to change the basic nutrients into available form through biological procedures. Being an important source of nutrients in sustainable agriculture, these fertilizers lead to better seed germination and development of root system. In order to investigate the effect of biological fertilizers on the me...

Iran is located in a hot and dry region. As a result of low precipitation and a vast area of salty and alkali soil, osmotic pressure is very high in most parts of the country (i.e., osmotic potential is more negative). In the present study four levels of osmotic pressure (-0.25, -0.35, -0.45, -0.50 MPa) were created artificially, by polyethylene glycol (PEG) and treatment of three seed types, n...

Background and Aim: The present study was conducted to investigate the relationship between job stress and emotional fatigue with due consideration of the mediating role of resilience in an organization. Materials and Methods: This applied research project was a descriptive survey, the statistical population being all the staff (n = 360) of Shahid Modarres Hospital in Saveh, Iran. The sample s...

Aril browning threatens production, consumption, and exports of pomegranates, because affected fruit cannot be externally distinguished from healthy fruit. This study compared the mineral, biochemical composition, and related enzyme activities in affected brown arils with healthy ones in ‘Malase Saveh’ pomegranates. The results indicated that concentrations of Cu in the aril and K, Mg, and Mn i...

Dermatophilosis is a bacterial skin infection and wet conditions like, raining and dipping predispose sheep to it. A great economic loss can be caused by this disease because of its effect on the quality of wool. In Iran (near Saveh), there was an outbreak of the disease in a herd and the clinical manifestation was different from that of typical dermatophilosis. Diffuse wide alopecic area accom...

Cement rotary kiln is the main part of cement production process that have always attracted many researchers’ attention. But this complex nonlinear system has not been modeled efficiently which can make an appropriate performance specially in noisy condition. In this paper Takagi-Sugeno neuro-fuzzy system (TSNFS) is used for identification of cement rotary kiln, and gradient descent (GD) algori...
