a pot experiment was carried out to determine the effect of foliage spraying of silicon (si) on growth and ornamental characteristics of calendula grown under salt stress and greenhouse conditions. a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design was conducted with 3 levels of si (0, 50 and 100 mg/l) and 3 levels of nacl (0, 100 and 200 mm) with 4 replications. at flowering stage, s...

purpose: to assess the efficacy of intraoperative mitomycin c (mmc) during silicone intubation (si) as a substitute for dacryocystorhinostomy (dcr) in nasolacrimal duct (nld) obstruction. methods: in a prospective, randomized, double-blind study, 88 candidates of dcr for nld obstruction were randomly assigned into two groups of si with application of either mmc (0.2 mg/ml for 2 minutes) or plac...

background: magnetic resonance imaging (mri) is a safe modality and useful in characterizing normal and abnormal bone marrow (bm). mri also presents a more global view of bm than biopsy therefore, it may provide a better understanding of hematologic disorders. the purpose of this study was to monitor radiation-induced alterations of bm in acute phase of irradiation (1-10 day after total body ir...

In the present study, improvement of salt tolerance in basil (as a salt-sensitive plant) was investigated through silicon (Si) nutrition. Basil plants were subjected to silicon (0, 3 mM) and salinity (0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mM NaCl) for a duration of one month. Salt stress significantly decreased the biomass of basil. Si supplement (3 mM) resulted in a considerable increase (averagely +135%) i...

to study the effect of sowing date and a single irrigation (si) on yield and yield components of barley, a field experiment was conducted in dryland agricultural research institute (maragheh, iran) in 2004-06 cropping seasons, using a split plot based on a randomized complete block design with 3 replications. main plots were assigned to 3 levels of sowing date (early, normal and late). sub-plot...
