The present exposition was designed to evaluate blood serum changes in tiger grouper, Epinephelus fuscoguttatus in response to changes in water temperature and salinity. Uniformly sized fingerlings were randomly distributed into different groups at fifteen fish per tank, in two replicates. Each group represented experimental fishes subjected to water temperatures of 18, 24, 28 and 30°C (control...

Ammonia/water absorption chillers are driven by low-grade heat and cover wide refrigeration temperatures. This paper analyses single-stage ammonia/water chillers. A numerical model was developed based on the exchanger performance. The captures variational performances describes actual cycle with varying boundary conditions. detrimental effects of refrigerant impurity were analysed quantitativel...

in this research, graphene was synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (cvd) method in atmosphere pressure (14.7 psi). different functionalization method was used for oxidizing of graphene such as acid and alkaline treatments. the functionalized graphene (fg) was characterized by ftir and raman spectroscopy. nanofluid with water and different concentration (0.05, 0.15 and 0.25 wt %) of fg were...

Azospirillum has been shown to improve coleoptile growth in seedlings growing in darkness under osmotic stress. However, the changes in water relations that may occur in this experimental system have not yet been studied. Two-centimetre long Triticum aestivum cv. Buck Pucará and Triticum durum cv. Balcarceño-INTA seedlings were inoculated with viable or autoclaved (control) Azospirillum brasile...

in order to evaluate cardinal temperatures and optimum thermal range of germination of three medicinal plants including ajowan, fennel and dill an experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with three replications. temperatures considered for this study were: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 ?c. results indicated that temperature affected germination rate and percentage of these cro...
