some soil physical and chemical characteristics were analyzed in order to reveal the relationship between forest soils and regeneration patches. gorazbon district of kheyrud was selected as a case study for the research area. all regeneration patches were recorded using gps device. to assess the spatial structure and to quantify the metrics of regeneration patches, analyzing of landscape metric...

abstract saturated water content is one of the important parameters which its measurement is necessary in estimation of soil water retention and unsaturated hydraulic conductivity curves. in several researches, saturated water content is assumed to be equal to soil total porosity. in some others, its value is estimated by pedotransfer functions using readily available parameters, such as bulk d...

A high-performance organic active matrix pixel was fabricated by using a metal oxide sV2O5d coupling layer that effectively integrates an organic light-emitting diode sOLEDd on top of an organic field-effect transistor sOFETd. The field-effect mobility of the OFET approached 0.5 cm2 V−1 s−1 and the ON/OFF current ratio was .103. The brightness of the OLED was on the order of 2000 cd/m2, with an...

The concept of biomineralization implies control of crystallization in terms of phase and orientation through interactions with organic macromolecules. This is of particular interest for the synthesis of biomimetic materials. If one strives to mimic the enormous structure-directing power of biomineralization in materials science, an artificial organic interface is needed. For example, functiona...

Crystal engineering has recently emerged as a method of choice for the design and the construction of both organic and metal-organic functional materials. Solid-state synthesis, of the most commonly studied aspects of crystal engineering, has been shown to provide access to molecular targets that are hardly obtainable using principles of conventional (i.e. solution-based) organic synthesis. Rea...

The present study aimed to investigate the organic agricultural products supply chain in Iran and provide a processes maturity framework for this chain based on the Iranian Standard of the organic products. Accordingly, the model, proposed in this research, provides an improvement tool that addresses the integration of company's internal processes at low levels, and the integration of the proce...
