Nano sulfated titania was tested as solid acid heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of 4-(Trifluoromethyl) coumarin and coumarin derivatives under solvent-free condition. Factorial design evidenced a positive effect of reaction temperature, amount of catalyst, and solvents.  This nano-sized sulfated titania has been prepared by a sol-gel hydrothermal process. The prepared sulfated titania s...

The objective of this paper was to study the effects of two strains of isolated plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) on physiological and biochemical changes of wheat leaves under salinity conditions. The sterilized seeds were soaked in distilled water (control) and Nutrient Broth liquid medium of Enterobacter cloacae and Bacillus cereus (inoculated treatment) for 2 hours. After 10 days ...

We show herein the uniform stability of a thermoelastic plate model with no added dissipative mechanism on the boundary (uniform stability of a thermoelastic plate with added boundary dissipation was shown in [J. LAGNESE, Boundary Stabilization of Twin Plates, SIAM Stud. Appl. Math. 10, SIAM, Philadelphia, PA, 1989], as was that of the analytic case—where rotational forces are neglected—in [Z. ...

Abstract. The problem of Rayleigh–Bénard convection with internal heat sources and a variable gravity field is treated. For the case of stress-free boundary conditions, it is proved that the principle of exchange of stabilities holds as long as the product of gravity field and the integral of the heat sources is nonnegative throughout the layer. The proof is based on the idea of a positive oper...

it has been reported that different species of euphorbia (euphorbiaceae) have antitumor activity. some reports also show that these plants have potential cytotoxic effect against different cell lines. in a program to screen the cytotoxicity of iranian native plants, euphorbia macroclada boiss. was collected, identified, and the cytotoxic activity of dichloromethane, ethylacetate, methanol extra...

This study was performed for comparison of meristem culture technique with shoot tip culture technique for obtaining virus-free plant, comparison of micropropagation success of two different nutrient media, and determination of effectiveness of real-time PCR assay for the detection of viruses. Two different garlic species (Allium sativum and Allium tuncelianum) and two different nutrient media ...

silicon (si) is considered as one of the beneficial elements for plants that play important roles in plant resistance to stresses. in this experiment, the effects of three levels of silicon (0, 0.85 and 1.7 mm) on the growth and physiological processes of pumpkin were studied in plants inoculated with sphaerotheca fuliginea (250000 conidia ml−1) and non-inoculated plants under hydroponic condit...

We study a 2-phase free boundary problem for harmonic measure first considered by Kenig and Toro [KT06] and prove a sharp Hölder regularity result. The central difficulty is that there is no a priori non-degeneracy in the free boundary condition. Thus we must establish non-degeneracy by means of monotonicity formulae.
