study of morphological traits of red fleshed apples is a critical step to improve the quality andcommercializing of them. in order to study genetic diversity of iranian red fleshed apples, a total of 17morphological characteristics were assessed for eight genotypes of red- fleshed (‘haji qermez’, ‘goushtqermez’, ‘shahroud-10’, ‘arous gousht qermz’, ‘b.9’, ‘qazvin 1, 2, 3’) and 12 iranian and fo...

Incremental Dynamic Analysis (IDA) procedure is now considered as a robust tool for estimating the seismic sidesway collapse capacity of structures. However, the procedure is time-consuming and requires numerous nonlinear response-history analyses. This paper proposes a simplified Modal Pushover Analysis (MPA) procedure for IDA of RC moment-resisting frames. The proposed method uses the dynamic...

Ion channels play important roles in chondrocyte mechanotransduction. The transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV) subfamily of ion channels consists of six members. TRPV1-4 are temperature sensitive calcium-permeable, relatively non-selective cation channels whereas TRPV5 and TRPV6 show high selectivity for calcium over other cations. In this study we investigated the effect of time in cu...

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of fenugreek and copper sulfate supplementation levels and their combinations in diets on productive, physiological performance, lipids profile in blood, liver or yolk, fertility and hatchability of Japanese quail for a period of 7 weeks (from 8 to 14 weeks). A total number of 162 mature Japanese quail birds were used in this study. Quail birds...

The current article makes a comparative analysis between the biodegradation of natural and synthetic polyethylene by three different species of Pseudomonas. The three Pseudomonas spp. (P1, P2, and P3) were indigenous to locations: (1) domestic waste disposal site dumped with household garbage and vegetable waste; (2) soil from textile effluents drainage site; and (3) soil dumped with sewage slu...
