the evaluation of the edge effects of forest roads on ecosystem is very useful to understand changes from forest road. with this regard, in this research the effect of main forest road construction on regeneration and biodiversity of established trees in edge of forest road was investigated at 35 m distance into forest area. an existing 10 years old road segment, with same physiographic propert...

1. The metabolism of inorganic [(35)S]sulphate (Na(2) (35)SO(4)) was studied in the isolated perfused rat liver at three initial concentrations of inorganic sulphate in the perfusion medium (0, 0.65 and 1.30mm), in relation to sulphation and glucuronidation of a phenolic drug, harmol (7-hydroxy-1-methyl-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole). 2. [(35)S]Sulphate rapidly equilibrated with endogenous sulphate in...

Techniques for enhancing the biodegradation of oil-contaminated fine soils in a slurry-phase bioreactor were investigated. Using a model system consisting of kaolin particles containing adsorbed n-dodecane as a diesel fuel surrogate, we investigated how increasing the temperature and adding a surfactant and various hydrophobic support media affected the biodegradation rate of n-dodecane. Increa...

The transport of radioactive sulfate in cat red cells has been studied. The rate constant for (35)SO(4) inward movement under steady-state conditions is 0.24 +/- 0.02/hr. This movement was found to be sensitive to osmotic changes in cell volume and to the nature of anions in the incubation medium; it increases with increasing cell volume and decreases with decreasing cell volume. The anions SCN...

to study the effect of planting pattern and water quantity on potato yields under drip irrigation, this research was conducted using a split plot based on a randomized complete block design with four replications in three regions (mashhad, ardebil and damavand, iran) during 2003-2004. nine treatments were used. the main-plots were three levels of irrigation: 100%(i1), 80%(i2), and 60%(i3) of cr...

background: dental surfaces prepared with different er:yag laser distance may have different characteristics compared with those prepared with conventional instruments. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of er:yag laser irradiation distance from enamel and dentin surfaces on the shear bond strength of composite with self-etch and etch and rinse bonding systems compared with con...
