Forests of Iran located on the Southern border of the Caspian Sea cover 1.9 million hectares. The Caspian forests are divided into four separate forestry areas. One of these being Guilan influx area with total area of 565000 hectares. About 30 to 40 percent of Guilan province forests are suitable to short rotation forestry for afforestation. Slash pine (Pinus elliottii) is one of the main exo...

Introduction Left ventricular (LV) twist is believed to store potential energy and plays an important role in generating diastolic suction. Recent advances in echocardiography techniques have allowed quantification of LV twist. The aim of the present study was to compare LV twist and torsion in healthy human subjects determined by velocity vector imaging (VVI) and tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) a...

Eucalyptus species are native to Australia but grown extensively worldwide as short rotation hardwoods for a variety of products and as ornamentals. We describe their general importance with specific emphasis on existing and emerging markets as energy products and the potential to maximize their productivity as short rotation woody crops. Using experience in Florida USA and similar locations, w...

aim and background: the aim of the present study was to develop a short form of the persian version of the cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire (cerq-p-short) and to examine its reliability and validity. methods and materials: the cerq-p was administrated to 420 (220 male and 200 female) iranian university students in 2009-2010 academic year. following stepwise omission of the items with ...

Background: The twisting motion of the left ventricle (LV), with clockwise rotation at the base and counter clockwise rotation at the apex during systole, is a vital part of LV function. Contraction of obliquely oriented myocardial fibres of the LV ventricle, which constitutes about 60% of the myocardium, creates the systolic twisting motion, with clockwise basal rotation and counter clockwise ...

No study has been previously completed on the range of sites, potential yield, and financial characteristics poplar short rotation coppice plantations (SRC) in Hungary. This paper conducts a literature survey to reveal biomass production such presents model that is used analyze their performance. The results indicate break-even-point between 6 8 oven-dry tons per hectare year once minimum cost ...

The study presented here investigated the influence of onehour creative dance training on the spatial ability of mental rotation. Two groups of first and second graders solved a paper-pencil mental rotation test. Afterwards, one group received one lesson of creative dance training while the other group attended the regular physical education lesson. At the end of the short training period all c...
