An important factor in the growth medium of plants and chemical plants. native substrates can be used to improve plant performance. To evaluate the effect of growth medium on the herb F. benjamina experimental design was completely randomized with eight treatments and four replications were carried out in the research greenhouse of Islamic Azad University of Jiroft. F...

Titanium and titanium alloys are often used in orthopedic surgery and dentistry because of their especial characteristics such as biocompatibility, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance. However, their bio- inertness is the most serious drawback for biomedical applications. Therefore, a bioactive coating like hydroxyapatite (HA) is coated on their surface. In this regard, in the prese...

abstract this study was performed in order to determine a suitable alternative substrate for peat in soilless culture in 2007. different plant wastes including carbonized rice hull, saw dust and dry pine leaves (pinus eldarica) were examined. treatments were 100% peat as control, peat plus dry pine leaves (1:1 v/v), peat plus carbonized rice hull (1:1 v/v) and peat plus saw dust (1:1 v/v). the ...

using c2h2, 112 and as gases at 550'c, carbon nanotubes were fabricated on the surfaces of twosubstrates coated by nano thin layers of metal catalysts by dc magnetron sputtering. aystamless steel andfe/cteal, by thermal chemical vapor deposition (tcvd) the surface properties of the substrates wereparticularly investigated, and the effect of treatment of the substrates on the cnt's growth is cri...

poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (phb), produced by several species of bacteria, has attracted great attention as a biodegradable and biocompatible compound with almost similar properties of polypropylene. unfortunately, its use is currently limited due to high production costs. one of the most common methods for overcoming this constraint is the use of inexpensive substrates, like methanol. another stra...

Amultifunctional material, strontium zirconate, SrZrO3, studied in literatures as a dielectric ceramics, thermal barrier coating, proton-conductor, and luminescent material was sprayed by a water-stabilized plasma torch WSP 500. Stainless steel and plain carbon steel were used as substrates. Coatings with thickness of 1 to 2 mm were produced, whereas the substrates were preheated over 450 °C. T...

background. the color masking ability of a restoration plays a significant role in coveringa discolored substructure; how-ever, this optical property of zirconia ceramics has not been clearly determined yet. the aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the color masking ability of a zirconia ceramic on substrates with different values. methods. ten zirconia disk specimens,0.5 mm in thickness ...

background: the production of waste pollutants has become a major problem for many food and oil industries. however, oil wastes can provide alternative substrates for industry, which could help to solve environmental pollution problems. furthermore, oil wastes can be used as substrates to produce unsaturated fatty acids, which are important for health.objectives: the production of fatty acids i...
