Forest fragmentation results in a loss of forest interior and an increase in edge habitat. We studied how understorey bird community composition and habitat variables changed along an edge-to-interior gradient in a 1248-ha lowland rainforest patch in peninsular Malaysia. Birds and environmental variables such as vegetation structure and litter depth were detected within a 25-m radius of each of...

a greenhouse study was conducted to investigate the effects of nitrogen (n) on wild barley (hordeum spontaneum koch) interference with winter wheat (triticum aestivum var. pishtaz) by an additive series experiment. the experiment was conducted in a split plot design with 3 replications. wheat plant height losses were on average 30, 10, and 10% in a wild barley density of 16 plants per pot with ...

to estimate population density of the cabbage aphid, brevicoryne brassicae (l.), a stratified random sampling was conducted in two unsprayed canola fields in isfahan (central iran) during 2011-2012. population density was determined for apterous, and alates, as well as the total population, at two plant growth phases (pgp1: from plant emergence to the end of rosette, and pgp2: from the beginnin...

in present study, the density functional theory (dft-b3lyp) method with svp basis set was used for optimizing and studying the electronic structural properties of cis and trans isomers of bis-(5-nitro-2h-tetrazolato-n2) tetraammine cobalt (iii) perchlorate (bncp) as powerful explosives at 298.15 k temperature and 1 atmosphere pressure. and also, natural bond orbital (nbo) population analysis an...

abstract during 2007 and 2008, a survey on species diversity of acari associated with pistachio trees and seasonal dynamics of the dominant injurious species was conducted in mahvelat region for the first time. 8 varieties of pistachio including akbari, owhadi, badami, barg siah, ghermez, kalah ghochi, germeh and momtaz, commonly grown in the region were compared in terms of infestation to the ...
