iran is located in dry belt of the earth and always involved with drought in different sections. drought has already caused many losses to natural plant cover, agriculture and human society. for drought monitoring, we can use some drought indecies. in this research, the standard index of annual precipitation)siap),sandardized precipitation index (spi) and palmer drought severity index (pdsi) we...

abstract to evaluate the effect of sowing date and weed interference on growth indices of red bean cultivars with different growth habit, a field experiment was carried out during the spring 2009 at university of zanjan as a factorial split plot on the basis of randomized complete block design, with three replications. main plots included factorial of three red bean cultivars (derakhshan (stand...

shoot tips from actively growing, greenhouse maintained plants of kalanchoe blossfeldiana were cultured in vitro for shoot proliferation and root initiation on murashige and skoog (ms) basal medium supplemented with naa and ba, both in concentrations of 0.00, 0.50, 1.00 and 2.00 mg l-1. results showed that the maximum plantlets height (7.012 cm), node number (4.516), root number (8.860) and roo...

Using colored index cards as the “building blocks” of two-dimensional “crystals,” students assemble crystals under several sets of instructordesignated conditions of time and geometry. After each simulation, the size and the number of crystals of different sizes are tallied. When all simulations are complete, data from the multiple simulations are compared. At the simplest level, results can be...

Temporal growth of the h-index in a diachronous cumulative time series is predicted to be linear by Hirsch (2005), whereas other models predict a concave increase. Actual data generally yield a linear growth or S-shaped growth. We study the h-index’s growth in computer simulations of the publication-citation process. In most simulations the h-index grows linearly in time. Only occasionally does...

I n order to have a successful regional planning policy, one needs to know exactly the effective factors on the growth of the provinces. Thus, determining and evaluating these growth rates are important for urban and regional planners. The main goal of this study is to determine the effective factors on the growth (population growth and per capita income growth) of Iran’s provinces. ...

We present a comparative study of the growth of tensile-strained GaP on the four low-index surfaces of GaAs: (001), (110), (111)A, and (111)B. For each surface orientation we outline the growth conditions required for smooth GaAs homoepitaxy. We are able to predict the resulting surface morphology when GaP is deposited onto these four GaAs surfaces by considering the influence of surface orient...

We prove that a finitely generated soluble residually finite group has polynomial index growth if and only if it is a minimax group. We also show that if a finitely generated group with PIG is residually finite-soluble then it is a linear group. These results apply in particular to boundedly generated groups; they imply that every infinite BG residually finite group has an infinite linear quoti...
