Addressing deficit irrigation scheduling (DIS) for strategic crop production (especially wheat) under precipitation uncertainty is a priority for irrigation scheduling in drought conditions. This research investigated the precipitation uncertainty by enacting optimistic and pessimistic scenarios for the next 20 years by considering the statistical record of climate in Badjgah area. DIS was cond...

objective: toxoplasmosis can lead to severe pathological effects in both infected humans and animals. the various dna vaccines against toxoplasma compose of single or cocktail antigens have been investigated but they have partial protective against disease. in this study, we used pcrop1 as a dna vaccine and aluminium phosphate and aluminium hydroxide to compare their efficacy as mineral adjuvan...

Growing evidence suggests that the pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs)-induced hepatotoxicity is mediated by multiple cell death/defence modalities. However, the detailed mechanisms are still lacking. In this study, the hepatotoxic effects of four PAs including three retronecine-type ones (senecionine, seneciphylline and monocrotaline) and one otonecine-type (clivorine) on the proliferation of Huh-7....

Alcohol may be used and misused for different reasons, i.e., to enhance positive affect and to cope with negative affect. These to pathways are thought to depend on two distinct and relatively stable neurobiological systems: the behavioral activation (BAS; i.e., fun seeking, drive, reward responsiveness) and behavioral inhibition (BIS) systems. This study investigates the associations of BAS an...

Cultural heritage often mirrors the evolution of social and economic dynamics territories. In Taranto, a city in Apulia southern Italy, cultural represents synthesis profound environmental crisis that has characterised over last century. Its loss is order day following repeated collapses static instability. Probably, this result strong conditioning large industrial groups military institutions ...

composite couple beams are the concrete elements consisting of longitudinal bars and steel plate, therefore suitable for shear transferring in couple shear walls with arranged gates in its height. in this paper, after modeling couple beams with and without steel plates with f.e methods and calibration the models with experimental results, effects of parameters such as thickness, height, length ...

The current study is an attempt to investigate the impact of decision-making (selecting and matching) tasks and production (creation of sentences and completion of sentences) tasks on the collocational knowledge of Iranian intermediate EFL learners. To this end, sixty EFL learners were divided into two experimental (decision-making and production) groups. To determine the effects of the tasks, ...

in the present study the effect of curvature ratio and coil pitch for tio2/water nanofluid laminar flow on heat transfer behavior and pressure drop through helical coils with different geometries was investigated experimentally. the tio2/water nanofluids at 0.25% to 2% particle volume concentrations have been prepared by using a two-step method. the experiments were performed for coils with cur...
