Abstract Island populations may have a higher extinction risk due to reduced genetic diversity and need be managed effectively in order reduce the of biodiversity loss. The Eurasian red squirrels ( Sciurus vulgaris ) south England only survive on three islands (the Isle Wight, Brownsea Furzey islands), with Wight harbouring largest population region. Fourteen microsatellites were used determine...

A laminated structured 2205 duplex stainless steel (DSS) with graded grain size was prepared via aluminothermic reaction and subsequent hot rolling deformation of 80% at 1000°C, its mechanical properties, strengthening toughening mechanism were studied. Our materials have extraordinary elongation 54% high tensile strength 990 MPa. The lamellar structure is characterized heterogeneous lamella au...

in order to study the effect of supplementary irrigation and different plant densities on grain yield and yield components of chickpea cv hashem, an experiment was conducted as split plot arrangement in a randomized complete block design with three replications in sirvan, ilam during 2008-2009 cropping season. main plot included supplementary irrigation (check as non-irrigation, supplementary i...

this study was conducted to determine the effect of cliniptilolite natural zeolite on deficit irrigation stress tolerance on maize cultivar ksc704. the experiment was laid out as a factorial design based on randomized complete block with three replications at seed and plant improvement institute, karaj in 2012. four irrigation levels, including irrigation after 70, 95, 120 and 145 mm cumulative...

The biaxial flexural strength and cyclic fatigue biaxial flexural strength of CAD/CAM ceramics polished with #220, 400, 600 and 1000 diamond pads were measured in an effort to determine the effect of surface roughness on fatigue behavior of dental ceramics. The surface roughness was improved after polishing with a smaller diamond grain pad. The flexural strengths of the specimens polished with ...

to evaluate effected of supplemental irrigation and seed priming on yield and some quantity and quality characteristics of  vetch (vicia dasycarpa) rainfed maragheh cultivar, an experiment was carried out at the research farm of faculty agriculture of urmia university, west azarbaijan province, iran, during 2011. the experimental design was split-plot, laid out in randomized complete block with...

in order to study the variation of fatty acids and protein content of soybean seeds and correlated morphological and phenological traits by canonical correlation analysis, 25 genotypes were evaluated with latis square design in baieakola agricultural research station of mazandaran agricultural research center in 2001. a number of 20 agronomic and eight quality traits were measured. the variatio...
