The present work reports amounts of flavonoids and phenylpropanoids of culms of three sugarcane varieties and of raw juice, syrup, molasse and VHP sugar. The antioxidant activity of those materials was evaluated by the DPPH and b-carotene/linoleic acid methods. The predominant phenolics in culms were phenylpropanoids (caffeic, chlorogenic and coumaric acids), while flavones (apigenin, tricin an...

Hypogastrura persica sp. nov. is described from the Zagros Mountains (Kermanshah Province, Iran). The new species can be distinguished from two nearest congeners, namely H. exigua Gisin, 1958 (Alps) and H. magistri Babenko, 1994 (Siberia), by the body size, the number of sensilla on antennal segment IV, the number of setae on dens and ventral tube as well as chaetotaxy of abdominal terga IV and...

This study quantifies the significance of southerly water vapour fluxes, associated with the Zagros Mountains barrier jet, on precipitation occurring in the Eastern Fertile Crescent region and its change due to global warming. Precipitation events are simulated using a Regional Climate Model (MM5-Noah) driven by boundary conditions from a CCSM global climate model simulation with the SRES A2 em...

The Relationship between wildfire areas and physiographic features in the Zagros vegetation area, Kermanshah province

Debris flows are typically modelled as a single homogeneous surge due to lack of data support more complex model development and time funding for the practitioner communities they aim support. Coarse debris characterized by coarse front, followed muddy slurry, that is then hyperconcentrated flow phase with lesser sediment concentrations. Presented herein modelling hazard assessment Hummingbird ...

The Stinking Bean Trefoil (Anagyris foetida L.) Structure in Zagros (Case Study of Gilan-e Gharb Forests)

Assessing the Plant Communities Changes by Effects of Vegetation Type, Physiography and Soil in Central Zagros Forest

Estimation of the Economic Value Soil Nutrition Protection in Zagros Forest Ecosystems (Case Study: Noujian Watershed Khoramabad)

Magnetic properties of sediments were investigated in 7 gravity cores recovered along a transect of the Mandovi estuary, western India to understand their provenance and pollution. The maximum magnetic susceptibility of sediments was at least 6 times higher in the upper/middle estuary than in lower estuary/bay. The χfd% and χARM/SIRM of sediments indicated coarse, multi-domain and pseudo-single...

Species and Functional Diversity of Pollarded (Galajar) Less Disturbed Area in the Northern Zagros Forests
