In recent years, because of China's rapid economic growth, the contradiction between energy consumption, environmental pollution and economic development has become acute increasingly. Energy-saving and ejection-decreasing has become an important strategy target in China's "11th Five-Year Plan". The research on the industrial structure optimization of China, should be given full consideration t...

With the population growth and consequently the requirement for development of civil constructions, it is necessary to design appropriate foundations for resisting structural loads. Soil weakness in bearing capacity of geotechnical elements has forced the researchers to continuously follow a solution to compensate for this deficiency. Within the past two decades, many studies have been carried ...

abstract rice is most important agricultural crop of guilan province sensibility to salinity and alkalinity of water and soil. in recent years, using of toxicants and fertilizers in farmlands, constructing several dams upstream, entering agricultural, homemade and industrial sewage in to a river, and drought have decreased gradually discharge of river and increased salinity of sefidrud river as...

BACKGROUNDS: Optimization of microbial compositions and load in live food during the process of bioencapsulation is one of the most important concerns in aquaculture, as it can promote the growth and feeding parameters of fish larvae. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to determine the growth and feeding performance of Persian sturgeon larvae fed with bioencapsulated D. magna with Saccharomy...
