pistachio is a major agricultural export commodity in iran. nowadays, it ranks first among iran’s agricultural exports. this paper focuses on the comparative advantage in pistachio production and the export market in iran. a policy analysis matrix (pam) framework and revealed comparative advantage (rca) index are applied to 2000-2004 data to study iranian government policy regarding pistachio p...

Capacity of garden productions in Iran is such that is accounted as a country that produces thirteen garden products in the world but despite excellent condition in Iran for producing garden products, natural disasters damage production of fruits in the country therefore farmers incur a loss. Pistachio tree has been in danger of destruction and dryness. Thus, in order to reduce loss incurred on...

Pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) cultivation under rainfed conditions of the South Mediterranean has not been studied in depth. Under changing climate conditions, knowledge cultivar and rootstock performances allows for optimal use genetic resources to improve yield nut quality. This study aimed evaluate growth, yield, fruit characteristics ‘Mateur’ ‘Achouri’ pistachio cultivars grafted on P. atlan...

Contamination of pistachio nuts by aflatoxigenic strains of Aspergillus species is the greatest constraint to production and export of pistachio nuts in Iran, the leading producer of pistachio nuts in the world. Kerman province is the main region in Iran where 85%, of pistachio nuts are produced. Determining the population density of Aspergillus spores in the orchards and terminals which are th...

extended abstract 1. introduction in dry areas, crop yield is generally low and there are limitations in fulfilling goals such as increasing the area under cultivation and reducing the cost of production. in such circumstances, the agricultural activity is limited to crops that can tolerate the harsh climatic conditions, secure farmers' income, and tolerate saline and limited water resources in...

The interpretation of modified PPs, like one meter behind the desk, far outside the village, or right under the lamp has never received much attention in the literature about prepositions. However, as this paper shows, the modification of PPs presents an intriguing problem for a compositional semantics of PPs. This problem can be solved when the PP is interpreted, not as a set of points or mere...

Findings from recent eye-tracking studies suggest that adults prefer to rely more on recently seen events than possible future events during sentence comprehension: When the verb in an NP1-VERB-ADV-NP2 sentence was referentially ambiguous between a recent action and an equally possible future action, adults fixated the target of the recent action more often than the not-yet-acted upon object (K...

a fourth-generation ziegler-natta catalyst was prepared to synthesize polypropylene (pp), which was stabilized by in situ polymerization employing lignin as antioxidant. the antioxidant properties of lignin were compared with those of the commercial antioxidant irganox 1010. the presence of lignin in the reaction medium slightly decreased the catalytic activity of the reaction. the isotacticity...

background: pistachio is one of the main nutrients, not only as a strategic crop but also as a main type of nut, in iranians’ food cycle. the aim of this study was to measure the relative safety of iranian pistachio based on the standard pesticide’s residue limits, which should be monitored and assessed in the cultivation of pistachio in order to confirm its public health. methods: fifty sample...
