the emergence of plasmodium vivax in dashte moghan in northwestern iran has become a major concern for iranian's health officials. knowledge of genetic make up of the p. vivax populations in this area would give us an insight into the origin of the prevalent infections and the possible routes they are introduced. this paper reports the analysis of a variable region between the two interspecies ...

in this research 220 rhizobial bacteria were isolated from two lentil dryland farming flat plains of moghan and koohin. they were then tested in vivo as well as in vitro to make assurance of 184 purified strains of rhizobium leguminosarum biovar vicial (lentil). btb +yma culture media with different levels of salinity through nacl (10, 20,30,40,50ds/m) application were used in salinity toleranc...

a micropaleontological study has been carried out on the samples collected from the sarv abad section, the oldest and only known jurassic sedimentary rocks cropping out in the moghan area. studied sequence consists of carbonates bounded at both base and top by clastic deposits. studied carbonate deposits provide an assemblage of benthic foraminifera as well as calcareous algae. the stratigraphi...

1. Cyst walls of the beet cyst-nematode (Heterodera schachtii Schmidt) were obtained by sieving a suspension of crushed cysts; about 15mg of dried cyst walls was obtained from 1000 cysts. 2. The cyst walls contained 68% protein calculated from nitrogen content. Glutamic acid, glycine, proline and hydroxyproline made up about 54% by weight of the amino acids obtained on acid hydrolysis. 3. Minor...

The purpose of current study is to produce groundwater qanat potential map using frequency ratio (FR) and Shannon's entropy (SE) models in the Moghan watershed, Khorasan Razavi Province, Iran. The qanat is basically a horizontal, interconnected series of underground tunnels that accumulate and deliver groundwater from a mountainous source district, along a waterbearing formation (aquifer), and ...
