silicon has useful effects on growth and yield of many plants. the aim of the present study is to investigate the impact of nano silicon oxide on proliferation and improvement of some growth traits of apple, cultivar gala. thus, an experiment was designed based on completely randomized design (crd) with five levels of nano silicon oxide concentrations (0, 25, 50, 100 & 200 ppm) in five replicat...

an experiment was conducted on 240 one-day old ross 308 broiler chicks using a completely randomized design in a 2×3 factorial arrangement with two levels of nano-adjuvant (with and without) and three levels of dietary protein (low, medium and high) during a 42 d experimental period. the main effect of protein density on feed intake was significant during the starter and grower periods (p

the main objective of the present study is to investigate the feasibility of using carboxymethyl chitosan magnetic nanoparticles (ccmn) for the adsorption of cd2+. the study also reports important parameters, which affect the adsorption process, i.e., ph, adsorbent dose, contact time and concentration of cd2+, using box-behnken designs. firstly, functional carboxymethyl chitosan magnetic nanopa...

in this research, the effect of foliar spraying times and different levels of farmax® nano fertilizer on morphological characteristic and dry and fresh flower yield, essential oil and chamazulene percentage of chamomile (matricaria recutita l.) cv. bodegold was studied. the experiment was factorial in the bacic of randomized complete blocked design (rcbd) with eight treatment and four replicati...

this experiment was done to evaluate the effect of nano iron oxide on some morphophysiological traits  of wheat (triticum aestivum l.) at  shahr-e qods region  in years of 2013 and 2014. experimental design, was factorial in a randomized complete block with four replications. treatments included, treatment of date of nano iron sparaying in milky  and pasty stage and another treatment was, conce...

Objective. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of incorporation of glass fiber, zirconia, and nano-zirconia on the transverse strength of repaired denture base. Materials and Methods. Eighty specimens of heat polymerized acrylic resin were prepared and randomly divided into eight groups (n = 10): one intact group (control) and seven repaired groups. One group was repaired with auto...

We demonstrate an interferometric fiber-optic bending/nano-displacement sensor based on a plastic dual-core fiber. The light coupled into the two fiber cores is first guided along the fiber, and then reflected by the mirror coated at the fiber end. Reflected light coming out of the fiber produces interference that shifts as the fiber bends. The interference shift is interrogated using a slit an...
