abstract the aim of this study was the identify cyanobacterial flora of rice–fields in dargaz, to interaction between cyanobacteria by culturing in solid medium bg-110 in laboratory was investigated. nostoc piscinale and nostoc spongiaeforme were identified as strongest and weakness species, respectively, regarding secondary metabolits producing (allelochemicals).the algal pairs were classified...

background : due to rapid advances in modern technologies such as telecommunication technology, the world has witnessed an exponential growth in the use of digital handheld devices (e.g. smartphones and tablets). this drastic growth has resulted in increased global concerns about the safety of these devices. smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other digital screens emit high levels of short-wave...

introduction: discharging of industrial colored wastewaters especially into aqueous environments can cause adverse effects on aquatic life due to their toxic natures. in this study, montmorillonite modified by hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (hdtma-mt) was used for the adsorption of methylene blue (mb). materials and methods: the influence of surfactant loading rate, contact time, ph, adsor...

a floating polymer-supported photocatalyst based on polystyrene impregnated with titaniumdioxide particles was developed using a facile solvent-cast method at ambient temperature. the preparedphotocatalysts were characterized by x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and fourier transforminfrared spectroscopy. the photocatalytic activity of the developed photocatalysts was investigated...

relative resistance of 43 iranian as well as introduced apple cultivars to blue mold (penicillium expansum) was studied within years 2010-2011. the fruit physicochemical traits were also evaluated as measures of potential resistance to decay. local p. expansum strains were isolated from decayed apple fruits and the most aggressive isolate (5,000 spores ml-1) used as inoculum. fruits were wound-...
