Efforts to assess forest ecosystem carbon stocks, biodiversity, and fire hazards have spurred the need for comprehensive assessments of forest ecosystem dead wood (DW) components around the world. Currently, information regarding the prevalence, status, and methods of DW inventories occurring in the world's forested landscapes is scattered. The goal of this study is to describe the status, DW c...

the impact of de-oiled and dried two-phase olive mill waste (dw) amendment on the sorption,degradation, leaching, and persistence of the herbicide terbuthylazine in a mediterranean agricultural soil were studied under laboratory and long-term field conditions. the results are compared with those of a previous study, where the intermediary by-product of the olive-oil processing technology (ow) w...

We present new observations of the cataclysmic variable DW Cancri, after system recovered from a low state. performed power spectrum analysis that reveals clear signal 38 min spin period in our photometric data. Our spectroscopic search was consistent with studies before state, showing orbital and modulations. Doppler Tomography study exhibits disc structure an enhanced asymmetric region, possi...

Effects of Artemia urmiana enriched with ICES30/4 as a commercial emulsion of highly unsaturated fatty acid (HUFA) on growth, survival, salinity tolerance and fatty acid composition of the Persian sturgeon larvae were evaluated. Artemia enriched for two different time periods (12 and 24 hours) and non-enriched artemia were fed to A. persicus larvae (average initial wet weight 46.80± 2.03mg) dur...
