Due to the harsh environmental conditions in arid and semi-arid area of country, it is essential to assess the factors affecting the vegetation in such areas. This study aimed to investigate the effect of some soil physicochemical properties (including texture, bulk density, moisture, organic matter, carbon, nitrogen, potassium, lime, sodium, electrical conductivity and pH) on Haloxylon persicu...

Soil quality includes two general points of view intrinsic characteristics and the dynamic nature of soil that is influenced by human activities and management decisions. Therefore, in this study, changes of soil quality indicators under two management approaches, including corporate management and condominium management, were assessed. At first, the study area was identified by using the image...

  The weighted density functional theory proposed by Tarazona is applied to study the solid-liquid interface. In the last two decades the weighted density functional became a useful tool to consider the properties of inhomogeneous liquids. In this theory, the role of the size of molecules or the particles of which the matter is composed, was found to be important. In this resarch we study a har...

  The electronic properties of YBa2Cu3O7-δ have been investigated by the energy-pseudopotential method within the local density approximation (LDA) with and without including generalized gradient corrections (GGC). The band structure, density of states and charge density of YBa2Cu3O7- have been calculated. The results are compared with other approaches such as LAPW, LCAO and LMTO for this syste...

This study was conducted to study and compare the effects of different tillage systems on soil physical properties and wheat yield in dryland conditions. The experiment was carried out in Maragheh Dryland Research Station with 5 treatments and 4 replications based on RCBD for 3 years (2001-2003). The results showed that difference between the treatments in terms of wheat yield was significant, ...
