Cardaria draba is an important, troublesome weed in the sustainable production of wheat. Inthe first step of this study, 100 actinomycete isolates were purified from soil samples collectedfrom the rhizosphere and phyllosphere of plants in different provinces of Iran. All isolates weresubjected to primary screening by assaying the fermentation broth of the sterile surfaces of C.draba leaves. Con...

Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) belongs to a family of heparin binding growth factors that include VEGF-B, VEGF-C, VEGF-D, and placental-like growth factor (PLGF). First discovered for its ability to regulate vascular endothelial cell permeability, VEGF is a well-known angiogenic factor that is important for vascular development and maintenance in all mammalian organs. The develop...

As a rule, all species of animals are regulated by other living organisms (antagonists) which are not under manipulation by man but they are naturally occurring in our surrounding environment. The process called natural biological control when man attempts to use naturally occurring antagonists to lower a pest population which would cause losses to plant or animals. Biological control is an eco...

The field of control and systems has been connected to biological systems and biotechnology for many decades, going back to the work of Norbert Wiener on cybernetics in 1965, the work of Walter Cannon on homeostasis in 1929, and the early work of Claude Bernard on the milieu interieur in 1865. Nonetheless, the impact of control and systems on devices and applications in the field of biology has...

With the increasing use of electronic media for our daily transactions, we widely distribute our personal information. Once released, controlling the dispersal of these information is virtually impossible. Privacy-enhancing technologies can help to minimize the amount of information that needs to be revealed in transactions, on the one hand, and to limit the dispersal, on the other hand. Unfort...

Sustainability of Cloud Computing is assured for the uncritical services only. There is basically no company that entrusts critical data to a Cloud. Cloud Computing does not realize its potentials as far a cost reduction in IT is concerned. The reason is the lack of isolation. Isolation can be seen as a special sort of privacy, where the a service should not get in contact with other services, ...

In this paper, an economic study of different levels of expected privacy, both individual and collective, is used to demonstrate that we live neither in a dystopian control society nor in a utopian privacy enhanced society, but rather in a noise society characterized by high collective expectations of privacy and low individual expectations of privacy. This has profound consequences for the des...

the aim of this study was to comparable application cultural, biological and chemical control methods of pests, diseases and weeds in rice among paddy farmers in sari county. a sample of 260 farmers was selected by using proportional random sampling method. data were collected by means of a questionnaire. validity of questionnaire was confirmed by agricultural jihad experts of sari county and s...

Satellites had been successful in the past due to their wide area coverage and speedy deployment of new services especially in remote regions of Europe and the rest of the world. The future development of broadband satellite systems providing services based on the Internet Protocol (IP) needs to be stimulated by means of common standards. This paper presents the ETSI BSM PEP terminal architectu...
