We investigate the role and behaviour of dust grains in C-type MHD shock waves in weakly ionized, dense molecular clouds. The structure of C-type shocks in molecular clouds are largely determined by the coupling of the charged species and the magnetic fields in the pre-shock gas. In weakly ionized clouds, charged dust grains enhance the energy and momentum transfer between the magnetic field an...

in order to study of drought tolerance in bread wheat genotypes, this study was conducted in maragheh dryland agricultural research station. the study included two experiments and the statistical design of each experiment was a rcbd with four replications, and 20 bread wheat genotypes that were compared under drought stress (rainfed) and supplementary irrigation. analysis of simple variance sup...

Grain growth rates in sputtered Cu thin films were found to be influenced by impurity levels of the sputtering targets. The Cu thin films with thickness of 100 nm or 1mm were deposited on the rigid substrates by a sputter-deposition technique using the Cu target with purity of 99.99% (4N) or 99.9999% (6N), then subsequently annealed at room temperatures. The microstructures of the Cu films were...

In order to investigate water deficit stress on 24 of soybean (Glycine Max. L) cultivars and lines in temperate climate, an experiment was conducted in Iran Seed and Plant Improvement Institute. Stress levels were irrigation after evaporation of 50, 100, 150 mm water from pan, class A. Randomized Completely Block Design was arranged for each stress levels. Some traits such as, node number, plan...

The sensitization and subsequent intergranular corrosion of Al-5.3 wt.% Mg alloy has been shown to be an important factor in stress corrosion cracking of Al-Mg alloys. Understanding sensitization requires the review of grain boundary character on the precipitation process which can assist in developing and designing alloys with improved corrosion resistance. This study shows that the degree of ...

effects of five seeding rates (350, 425, 500, 575 and 650 seeds per m2) on four wheat cultivars (kavir, mahdavi, shiraz and roshan) were studied under salinity stress, during 2000-2001 crop seasons in roodasht agricultural research station, esfahan. a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications was used. plants were irrigated with saline water (with ec...

in order to investigate the yield and yield components of four lentil genotypes (local line, local bulk, ill-10314 and ill-6037 genotypes) as affected by three urea nitrogen levels including 0, 45 and 90 kg ha-1, a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications was carried out in agriculture and natural resources research center of ardabil, during 2008. b...

This paper aims to evaluate and classify some upland rice varieties based on their morphological characteristics. The data used in the study was obtained from National Cereal Research Institute (NCRI), Badeggi -Nigeria. The study consists of 25 upland rice cultivars, which were extracted from 100 rice varieties ergo-listed in the institute. The experiment was conducted at Edozhigi in northcentr...

Tensile–creep experiments were conducted in the temperature range 100–200 C and stress range 20–83 MPa for a series of magnesium–zinc–yttrium (Mg-Zn-Y) and mangnesium-zinc–zirconium (Mg-ZnZr) alloys ranging from 0 to 5.4 wt% Zn, 0 to 3 wt% Y, and 0 to 0.6 wt.% Zr. The greatest tensile– creep resistance was exhibited by an Mg–4.1Zn–0.2Y alloy. The room-temperature yield strength increased with i...

Grain boundary networks should play a dominant role in determining the mechanical properties of nanocrystalline metals. However, these networks are difficult to characterize and their response to deformation is incompletely understood. In this work, we study the grain boundary network of nanocrystalline Ni and explore whether it can be modified by plastic deformation. Mechanical cycling at room...
