crop productivity, water use efficiency (wue), and microbial biomass c and n in rainfed dry area are influenced by tillage, rotation, and crop residue management. field experiments were conducted during 2005-08 to study the effect of tillage, crop rotation, and crop residue retention on oat fodder yield, water use efficiency, and microbial biomass c (mbc) and n (mbn) under semi-arid conditions ...

This study was conducted to produce a high percentage of genetically male tilapia through interspecific hybridization between Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus and Blue tilapia, O. aureus and evaluate sex ratio, productive performance and heterosis of the progeny produced. The results revealed that sex ratios of the progenies of (♀ O. aureus x ♂ O. niloticus) and (♀ O. niloticus x ♂ O. aureus...

statement of the problem: implant-retained overdenture can improve the stability of dentures and prevent bone loss. overdenture-wearing patients need special hygiene care. purpose: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of various denture cleansers on the retention of dio orange o-rings. method and materials : in this experimental study, 40 dio orange o-rings were divided into 4 grou...

the main purpose of this project is investigation of the organophosphorus hydrolase (oph) enzyme activity in water in oil (w/o) and oil in water (o/w) creams and investigation of the oph enzyme stability in formulated creams. oph enzyme was extracted and purified from strain flavobacterium. the w/o and o/w creams were prepared using different formulations. in order to achieve an emulsion with m...

the structural and energetic characteristics of o3–h2o complexes have been investigated by means of b3lyp, mp2, mp4(sdtq), ccsd(t) and qcisd(t) methods in conjunction with the aug-cc-pvdz and aug-cc-pvtz basis sets. six conformers were found for the o3–h2o complex. two different intermolecular interactions were expected to participate in the formation of complexes, namely conventional o∙∙∙h hyd...
