erosion by wind is one of the most important factors in desert environment. prevailing winds can shift sand dunes and affect their accumulation. also, wind regime determines the direction of sand dune mobility. the aim of this research was to investigate sand drift potential using sand movement models. for this research, wind data between 1986 and 2005 from the meteorological station of yazd we...

The aim of the work was to study features clonal micropropagation essential oil rose interspecific hybrids obtained in embryo culture vitro. Analysis 12 crossing combinations demonstrated that frequency hybrid seedling formation varied from 0 71.4%. For vitro seedlings were divided into stem segments with a node and cultivated on MS medium supplemented 0.5 mg/l BAP 0.1 GA 3 . During multiplicat...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effectiveness of topical 1% cyclosporine eye drops diluted in either of the two vehicles-olive and linseed oil-and that of the oils themselves in treating experimentally-induced keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) in rabbits. METHODS KCS was induced in 25 New Zealand rabbits using 1% atropine sulfate eye drops for 7 days before treatment and throughout the treatment perio...

the kashan erg is one of the most important sand dune complexes in iran. being affected by wind erosion, theerg's borderlands face numerous problems as a result of sand movement. to evaluate the risk of sands moving intoresidential areas near the kashan erg, anemometry data from synoptic stations located in kashan, ardestan, meimeh,naeen, and qom were collected and analyzed to calculate the san...

A study was undertaken to explore the content and composition of volatile oil from decaying leaves of lemon-scented eucalypt (Eucalyptus citriodora Hook.) not analyzed earlier. GC and GC-MS analysis of the oil (yield 0.6%) revealed the monoterpenoid nature with citronellal (52.2%), citronellol (12.3%) and isoisopulegol (11.9%) as the major constituents. Overall, 17 components were identified th...
