theaim of the current study was to assess effects of different levels of origanum vulgare (0, 250, 500, 750 and 1000 mg/l) on kinetics of gas production, some ruminal digestion and fermentation parameters, methane production and also to determine its potential in controlling rumen acidosis using in vitro method in four separate phases. in the first phase, the asymptote of gas production (a) and...

introduction earth has ever been exposed to environmental hazards. the hazards are continually occurring in the world in the recent years. among them, atmospheric elements have created many human and financial losses in different regions. one of the hazards is dust events and in its severe case is dust storm. it happens more frequently in arid and semiarid regions in deserts and their surroundi...

this paper identifies characteristics of business cycles in iran, applying hodrick-prescott (hp) and band-pass (bp) filters. using seasonal and anual data for 1970-2003, it is found that oil income is the key driving factor of business cycles in the iranian economy. furthermore, it is indicated that iran's economy has experienced seven business cycles during this period, in which the econo...

the aim of this study was to investigate the barrier properties of cellulose nanocrystals-pvananocomposites. nanocomposite films with different filler loading levels (3, 6, 9 and 12% by wt) weredeveloped by solvent casting method. the effect of cellulose nanocrystals on the barrier properties ofthe nanocomposites was studied. to this end, moisture absorption, water vapor permeability (wvp),oxyg...

background: mammography is the primary imaging technique for detection and diagnosis of breast cancer; however, the contrast of a mammogram image is often poor, especially for dense and glandular tissues. in these cases the radiologist may miss some diagnostically important microcalcifications. in order to improve diagnosis of cancer correctly, image enhancement technology is often used to enha...

improving the processing and the recycled paper properties is one of permanent concern of papermaking. in this research, the effect of nanochitosan addition on the process and product quality made of writing and printing recycled fiber was investigated. being nano size and so its capability in access to the space between pulp suspension components and also its probable ability to make electrost...

to compensate for some inferior properties of recycled papers, application of processing chemical aids such as chitosan can be quite effective in the wet end section of papermaking. in this study, the performance of chitosan biopolymer, individually or associated with nanobentonite was investigated as wet end additive on recycling process of white cuttings. for this purpose, the performance of ...

main objective in wheat breeding programs is to improve high yielding and stable varieties possessing desirable morpho-physiological traits. this study was conducted to determine the stability of 18 winter and facultative bread wheat genotypes. the experiments carried out in 9 experimental stations (karadj- arak- ardebil- jolgerokh- miandoab- hamedan- mashad- qazvin- khoy) using a randomized co...

the genus eremostachys (lamiaceae), consists of about 60 species which 15 species of eremostachys grow wildly in the north-west of iran. the rhizomes and roots of e. laciniata have traditionally been used as a local analgesic and for the treatment of rheumatic diseases and pain in the feet. this experiment was conducted in the north-west of iran in 2012-2013, to evaluate morphological diversity...

the effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria, with the ability to produce acc deaminase enzyme, on water relationships and agronomic indices of sunflower (helianthus annuus l.) cultivars was investigated. the soil used was of an ec equal to 7.6 ds m-1. a greenhouse factorial experiment on the basis of a completely randomized block design with three levels ...
