The present study was performed to determine the effect of PGF2α and GnRH injections in different time intervals on fertility in Hair goats during breeding season. Totally, 80 primiparous Hair goats were divided into four groups (n=20 in each) according to the body condition scores of the animals. The animals in groups were treated as follows; first group (Ovsynch), GnRH on day 0, PGF2α on day ...

Bi2WO6 nanostructures were synthesized by a hydrothermal route, where the effect of various experimental parameters on the products was investigated. It is demonstrated that the sample morphology and size is highly dependent on the NaOH content (or pH value). At C NaOH = 0-0.0175 mol (pH range of 1-4), the prepared samples present flower-like hierarchical microspheres which are constructed from...

The aim of this study was to characterize the impact soda ash manufacturing on magnetic properties soils located in agricultural landscape north-central Poland. Two sites were chosen: Mątwy (SM) and Janikowo (SJ). Highly saline with halophyte communities selected order develop an understanding relationship between salinization water–soil interface potential contamination risk environment. Basic...

The cement industry is considered as a major source of heavy metals pollution in topsoil. This study aims at measuring the metal contamination level vicinity Shiraz factory, and assessing ecological environmental risks associated with factory's activities surrounding To do so, 10 samples soil were taken from around factory depth 0-10 cm concentration some including Al, Cd, Ni, Pb was measured. ...

road transport is a ubiquitous source of lead contamination in the soil near highways with direct and indirect impacts on human health. accumulation of traffic-induced lead in the soils depends on gasoline lead content, traffic volume, as well as meteorological conditions. to evaluate the effect of traffic on soil lead concentration, 113 samples from the topsoil (0-15 cm) were collected in a re...

A methodological framework for spatial prediction based on regression-kriging is described and compared with ordinary kriging and plain regression. The data are first transformed using logit transformation for target variables and factor analysis for continuous predictors (auxiliary maps). The target variables are then fitted using step-wise regression and residuals interpolated using kriging. ...

Spatial patterns of vegetation arise from an interplay of functional traits, environmental characteristics and chance. The retreat of glaciers offers exposed substrates which are colonised by plants forming distinct patchy patterns. The aim of this study was to unravel whether patch-level landscape metrics of plants can be treated as functional traits. We sampled 46 plots, each 1 m × 1 m, distr...
