in the first part of this thesis we explored wetting and its dynamics for small droplets. first, we showed how a simple feature of water droplets on a surface, i.e. laplace pressure, can be exploited to build a micropump. we investigated capillary pumping in microchannels both experimentally and numerically. putting two droplets of different sizes at the in/outlet of a microchannel, will ge...

Diallel analysis was used to estimate the combining ability, gene action, gene number, heritabilties and other genetic parameters of a set of wheat genotypes. For this purpose, nine parents and their 36 crosses were evaluated for 9 traits in a randomized complete block design with three replications in 1996. The analysis of variance revealed significant differences among all genotypes for all ...

  In order to study mode of gene action in rice for the traits related to yield, four varieties of rice were investigated. Direct and reciprocal crosses have been done between parents Sang-Tarrom and Gerdeh, IR229 and IRRI2 and their back crosses. The F1 and BC seeds were grown in 2006 and F1 plants were selfed for obtaining F2 seeds. Therefore, 10 different populations (generations) including ...

Five wheat varieties were used to estimate gene action for morphological traits and yield and estimate the heritability of traits. The varieties including White Bolani, Brown Bolani, Tajan, Kealk and AS48 mutant have been crossed based on full diallel. The F2 genotypes were planted in a randomized complete block design with three replications in the Nuclear Agricultural Research Institute. Anal...

in this project, some new polyaspartimides, (pas)s, have been synthesized form michael addition reaction between new synthetic bismaleimide (bmi) and some aromatic diamines. a characteristic property of this polyaspartimides is a pendent carboxylic group, which introduced to these polymers from new bismaleimide. bismaleimides (bmi) is one of the interesting compounds, which can be self-polymeri...

To determine gene action and heritability of grain yield related traits in rice, six rice varieties including Hashemi, Vandana, Kadous, Hassani, Shahpasand and IR36 were crossed in a diallel design in 2010. The parents and seeds of F1 generation (36 genotypes) were grown in a completely randomized block design with three replications at the Research Field of the Rice Research Institute of Iran-...
