to study the effects of foliar application of common and nano-sized iron sulphate on five sunflower cultivars (alster, olsion, hysun36, yourflour and hysun33) under two levels of salinity (0 and 100 mm nacl), a pot experiment in factorial based using a randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted. plant height, leaf area, shoot weight, chlorophyll content and the conce...

physical and mechanical properties of alfalfa (medicago sativa, l.) grind are required for optimum design of equipment used in transporting, processing and storage of the material. this study was conducted to determine the effect of particle size (2.38, 3.36 and 4.76 mm) and moisture content (8, 9.3 and 11% wb) on some physical and mechanical properties of alfalfa grind. these properties includ...

Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) is a complex biogeochemical process involving interactions between microbes, metals, minerals, and their environment. We hypothesized that sediment-derived iron-oxidizing bacteria (FeOB) would colonize and become numerically abundant on steel surfaces incubated in coastal marine environments. To test this, steel coupons were incubated on sediments ov...

This study aimed at evaluating some quantitative and qualitative properties of potato as one of the main commercial products in Iran. To this end, a split plot experiment on the basis of randomized complete bloke design with silicone and iron was carried out in jiroft as one of the commercial area of planting potatoes. The main factor included different levels of silicon (0, 10, 20, 30 mM.l-1) ...

Steel has remained the most crucial of all structural materials. However, the steel production processes have changed over the years. Currently, due to the tendency of eliminating high energy consuming technologies, in both the international and domestic steel industry, liquid steel is manufactured in two basic aggregates: oxygen-blown converters and electric arc furnaces 1 . The development of...
