Objective:  In addition to the role of organic matter in plant nutrition, this material improves soil quality, physical structure, ventilation and water supply, and ease of penetration and expansion is rooted deep in the soil surface. Effects of organic matter due to climatic factors, soil characteristics may vary from region to region, resulting in organic materials management must be given to...

in order to study the effect of sowing methods and seeding rates on fodder yield and some agronomic characters of nikshahri alfalfa ecotype, an experiment was conducted in a split plot arrangement in randomized complete block design with four replications in the field of agricultural and natural resources center of baluchistan in iranshahr region. in this study, sowing methods: hand spread, 12 ...

In this paper, experimental and Finite Element Methods have been used to determine mechanical properties of nanocomposites. Standard tensile and compression samples with 0.0, 0.15, 0.25, 0.35, 0.45, and 0.55 weight fraction of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube (MWCNT) were prepared and tested. Nanotube weight fraction was varied to investigate the effects of nanotube weight fraction on nanocomposite...

Mammalian hard a-keratins are fibre-reinforced biomaterials that consist of 10 nm intermediate filaments (IFs) embedded in an elastomeric protein matrix. Recent work suggests that the mechanical properties of IFs are highly sensitive to hydration, whereas hard a-keratins such as wool, hair and nail are relatively hydration insensitive. This raises the question of how mammalian keratins remain s...

Objective: Many agronomic practices may need to be adjusted to maximize yield and quality of sugar beet. Thus agronomic package must be always modified. This sutdy was laid out for evaluation of changes in carbohydrates and sugar yield in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) under different biofertilizers and irrigation closed time at Dorud region of Iran, during 2013. Methods: The experiment...

First, the equations for calculating the full mass, stiffness and damping matrices from modal data are derived. This deviation was first presented in [1]. However, these equations are difficult to solve because the first step of their solution requires matrix inversion of the flexibility matrix to obtain the stiffness matrix. Not only does matrix inversion amplify errors, but the number of line...

We study the geometry of propagation of relativistic fermions. We propose how to measure its quantum mechanical length. Numerical lattice results for the free propagator of DiracWilson fermions yield Hausdorff dimension dH = 2 for the unit-matrix component and dH = 1 for any γ-matrix component. A possible generalization when matter interacts with radiation is discussed. PACS index: 03.65.-w, 05...
