to determine the most important traits affecting root yield and sugar content in monogerm germplasm of sugar beet, 75 monogerm f1 hybrids were evaluated in three separate experments conducted in randomized complete block desing (rcb) with four replications at abdo–al–rasoul research farm, karaj in 2004. root yield, root length, root diameter, crown height, crown diameter, sugar content, α–amino...

as a first step towards mechanization related to any product, including date fruit, it is necessary to have comprehensive information about the product. physical and mechanical properties are needed for the design of post harvest machinery and equipment. the objective of this study was to determine and compare some physical properties such as dimension, mass and volume, particulate density, pit...

PURPOSE To evaluate the relationship between the horizontal ciliary sulcus diameter and anterior chamber diameter measured by 35 MHz ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) and the horizontal corneal diameter (white to white [WTW]) measured by scanning-slit topography and to assess the repeatability (intraexaminer difference) of the 2 methods. SETTING Department of Orthoptics and Visual Science, Kitas...

The mass flow of granular particles in an aerial spreader duct was regarded as a sequence of cluster passage events. At low flow densities, the total mass per time unit could be estimated by measuring the diameter (length) of each individual particle passing a sensor and accumulating the associated masses. At higher flow densities, the lengths of clusters would be measured rather than the lengt...

background: leishmaniasis is a vector-borne disease caused by flagellated protozoan parasites of the genus leishmania, which affects both humans and other mammals. most of the available drugs against the disease are toxic and some are parasite resistance to them. objective: the purpose of this study was to examine the effect of mespilus germanica extract on cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl) in balb/...

Abstract Coarse‐textured soils are typically not highly aggregated due to low surface reactivity of sand‐sized grains. However, soil erosion and sealing can still be a concern from frequently tilled in relatively flat landscapes the Coastal Plain Flatwoods southeastern United States. Soil at 0‐to‐10‐cm depth was sampled 120 randomly chosen cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum L.) fields North Carolina, ...
