In this study, the concentrations of 25, 375 and 500 ml L -1 of Cola+ 2000 mg L -1 of peppermint essence and concentrations of 30, 45 and 60 ml L -1 of apple extract +2000 mg L -1 rosemary essence on Alstroemeria cut flowers (Cv. balance) were investigated to verify the use of natural ingredients in flowers preservative solutions. This experiment was conducted in the laboratory of Gorgan University of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, in 2014. Results showed that the interaction of cola with peppermint essence and apple extract with rosemary essence at above concentrations increase the vase life of flower, flower diameter and anthocyanin at significantly level of %1. The highest amount of vase life was related to concentration of 500 ml L -1 of cola (15 days), while vase life in control treatment (distilled water) was 9 days. The highest flower diameter was recorded in apple extract (45 ml L -1 ) + Rosemary essence (2000 mg L -1 ). The highest amount of anthocyanin was obtained in cola treatments of 500 ml L -1 + essence of peppermint, 30 and 45 ml L -1 of apple extract+ rosemary essence. Besides, flowers treated by 375 ml L -1 of cola + peppermint essence had the highest chlorophyll content. Generally, the results showed that treatments used in this experiment, as accessible compounds are healthy and non-hazardous for the environment, appropriate to increase the vase life of Alstroemeria cut flowers
在本研究中,可乐浓度为25、375和500 ml L -1 +薄荷香精浓度为2000 mg L -1,苹果提取物浓度为30、45和60 ml L -1 +迷迭香香精浓度为2000 mg L -1对紫荆切花(Cv。平衡)进行了调查,以验证天然成分在花卉防腐剂溶液中的使用。本实验于2014年在高根农业科学与自然资源大学实验室进行。结果表明,可乐与薄荷香精、苹果浸膏与迷迭香香精在以上浓度下交互作用,可显著提高花的花瓶寿命、花径和花青素含量,且交互作用水平为%1。当可乐浓度为500 ml L -1时,瓶寿命最长(15 d),而对照处理(蒸馏水)的瓶寿命最长(9 d)。苹果提取物(45 ml L -1) +迷迭香精华(2000 mg L -1)的花直径最大。以500 ml L -1 +薄荷精华液、30和45 ml L -1苹果提取物+迷迭香精华液的可乐处理中花青素含量最高。以375 ml L -1可乐+薄荷香精处理的花叶绿素含量最高。综上所述,本试验所采用的处理方法对环境无害,是一种健康的易获得化合物,适合延长桤木切花的花瓶寿命

Chemical stabilization of heavy metals is one of the soil remediation methods based on the application amendments to reduce mobility of heavy metals. A laboratory study was conducted to investigate the influence of different kinds of amendments on cadmium (Cd) stabilization in a Cd-spiked soil. The amendments were municipal solid waste compost (MSWC), Coal fly ash (CFA), rice husk biochars prepared at 300°C (B300) and 600°C (B600), zero valent iron (Fe 0 ) and zero valent manganese (Mn0). The Cd-spiked soils were separately incubated with selected amendments at the rates of 2 and 5% (W/W) for 90 days at 25 °C. Soil samples were extracted by EDTA for periods of 5 to 975min. In addition, sequential extraction was used as a suitable method for identification of chemical forms of Cd and their plant availability. The addition of amendments to soil had significant effects on desorption and chemical forms of Cd. Changes in Cd fractions and their conversion into less soluble forms were clear in all treated soils. The addition of amendments resulted in a significant reduction in mobility factor of Cd compared to the control treatment. Among all amendments tested, Fe 0 was the most effective treatment in decreasing dynamic of Cd. Biphasic pattern of Cd desorption kinetic was fitted well by the model of two first-order reactions.

The present study investigated the effects of acute toxicity of malathion on behavioral and haematological parameters in the cyprinid Capoeta damascina. The specimens were collected from the Kordan River, Karaj, Iran in August, 2014 and were exposed to different concentrations of malathion at the laboratory (24, 48, 72 mg L -1 ) based on 96h-LC (10; 30; 50; 90) which was 6.08 (5.22-7.18) mg L -1 . The animals were then exposed to 0.76, 1.00 and 1.52 mg L -1 of malathion for 10 days. Blood samples were collected in days 1, 5 and 10. Red blood cell (RBC), white blood cell (WBC), hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (PVC), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) were measured. Behavioral abnormalities were observed in fishes exposed to high levels of malathion. The specimens exposed to malathion had significantly lower RBC, WBC, Hb, PVC but higher MCV and MCH than those of the control group. No significant difference was detected in MCHC the exposed and control specimens. Hematological parameters (except MCHC) were significantly correlated with exposure time. In conclusion, malathion showed extensive haematological effects on C. damascina that might be used as bioindicator of this pesticide in flowing waters.
本文研究了马拉硫磷急性毒性对大马鲤行为和血液学参数的影响。样本采集于2014年8月,采集自伊朗Karaj的Kordan河,并在实验室暴露于不同浓度的马拉硫磷(24、48、72 mg L -1),基于96h-LC (10;30;50;90),为6.08 (5.22-7.18)mg L -1。然后分别暴露于马拉硫磷浓度为0.76、1.00和1.52 mg L -1的环境中10天。于第1、5、10天采集血样。测定红细胞(RBC)、白细胞(WBC)、血红蛋白(Hb)、红细胞压积(PVC)、平均红细胞体积(MCV)、平均红细胞血红蛋白(MCH)、平均红细胞血红蛋白浓度(MCHC)。在暴露于高水平马拉硫磷的鱼类中观察到行为异常。与对照组相比,马拉硫磷暴露组红细胞、白细胞、血红蛋白、聚氯乙烯明显降低,MCV和MCH明显升高。暴露标本与对照标本的MCHC无显著差异。血液学参数(MCHC除外)与暴露时间显著相关。综上所述,马拉硫磷对大马士革红蝇具有广泛的血液学影响,可作为该农药在流动水体中的生物指标。

Osmotic dehydration under discontinuous reduced pressure is one of the new methods of preparation fruits and vegetable processing with in view of good health. Processing of foods at high temperatures used to cook them can cause the formation of carcinogenic substances like acrylamide, and this risk remains even if the trans-fat is removed. The low temperatures employed in this method resulted in the products with the desired texture, nutritional, and colour. The purpose of this research was evaluation of the variable effects of osmotic dehydration process (ambient pressure, contact time of product and solution, concentration and temperature of osmotic solution) on the quality factors of product (colour changes, texture, moisture, oil uptake, and water loss to solid gain ratio) and achieving the optimum process conditions. Studying the quality parameters of the product, the temperature range of osmotic solution, pressure, concentration of the osmotic solution and contact time of product and solution were assumed as 30 to 50°C, 500 to 700 mbar, 30 to 50% and 60 to 180 min, respectively. The test plans involving 31 tests were obtained by using response surface statistical models and central composite design. They were fried at the condition of 108oC, 8 min and 320 mbar by using statistical correlations, 48.71oC for the osmotic solution temperature, 592.07 mbar for the pressure, 62.92 min for the time and 34.87% for the osmotic solution. Concentrations were obtained as optimum conditions of osmotic dehydration of kiwi slices under reduced pressure. In summary combination of osmotic dehydration and vacuum frying improved the quality of the final fried kiwi, so this method is recommended for production of healthy products.

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are one of the most important organic pollutants frequently found in the environment. In this experiment, the effect of phytoremediation as a cost effective method was studied on the concentration of anthracene (C14H10) which is one of PAHs. The effect of sorghum (V1), hairy vetch (V2) and oat (V3) was studied under four concentrations of anthracene (S1, S2, S3 and S4) in soil. In S1 level which pollution was the lowest, the three plants had the highest reduction rate. The reduction rate was decreased by increasing the pollution level (S2 and S3),; the lowest reduction rate was observed in S4 level which had the highest pollution level. There was significant difference between the three plants and the fallow. Generally, hairy vetch had the highest phytoremediating capacity and resistance compared with the other plants.

In this paper effect of SiO2 nanoparticles was investigated on potato starch films. Potato starch films were prepared by casting method with addition of nano-silicon dioxide and a mixture of sorbitol/glycerol (weight ratio of 3 to 1) as plasticizers. SiO2 nanoparticles incorporated to the potato starch films at different concentrations 0, 1, 2, 3, and 5% of total solid, and the films were dried under controlled conditions. Physicochemical properties such as water absorption capacity (WAC), water vapor permeability (WVP) and mechanical properties of the films were measured. Results show that by increasing the concentration of silicon dioxide nanoparticles, mechanical properties of films can be improved. Also incorporation of silicon dioxide nanoparticles in the structure of biopolymer decrease permeability of the gaseous molecules such as water vapor. In summary, addition of silicon dioxide nanoparticles improves functional properties of potato starch films and these bio Nano composites can be used in food packaging.

An interpolation technique, ordinary Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW), was used to obtain the spatial distribution of groundwater quality parameters in Damghan plain of Iran. According to Scofield guidelines for TDS value, 60% of the water samples were harmful for irrigation purposes. Regarding to EC parameter, more than 60% of studied area was laid in bad range for irrigation purposes. The most dominant anion was Cl - and 10% of water samples showed a very hazardous class. According to Doneen guidelines for chloride value, 100% of collected water from the aquifer had slight to moderate problems for irrigation water purposes. The predominant cations in Damghan plain aquifer were according to Na + > Ca ++ > Mg ++ > K + . Sodium ion was the dominant cation and regarding to Na + content guidelines, almost all groundwater samples had problem for foliar application. Calcium ion distribution was within usual range. The magnesium ion concentration is generally lower than sodium and calcium. The majority of the samples showed Mg ++ amount within usual range. Also K + value ranged from 0.1 to 0.23 meq/L and all the water samples had potassium values within the permissible limit.

A new spectrophotometric method was developed for the simultaneous of ternary mixtures of nitrophenol isomers, without prior separation steps. This method is called the first derivative of the density ratio spectra. All factors affecting on the sensitivity were optimized and the linear dynamic range for determination of nitrophenol isomers was found. The method made use of a derivative of the double-divisor- ratio spectra of optical density. In this case, the linear determination ranges are 1.0-25.0 g mL -1 for m- nitrophenol, 1.0-25.0 g mL -1 for o-nitrophenol and 1.0-15.0 g mL -1 for p-nitrophenol. The RMSEP for m- nitrophenol, o-nitrophenol and p-nitrophenol by proposed method was 0.4907, 0.4779 and 0.2068, respectively. The method developed in this paper was rapid, easy to apply, not expensive and it was suitable for analyzing to overlapping signals of compounds in their mixtures without any chemical pre-treatment and also, the proposed method was satisfactorily applied to the rapid simultaneous determination of m-nitrophenol, o-nitrophenol and p-nitrophenol in synthetic and water samples. i , , , , , ,

In this study theeffect ofdrought stress was investigated on grain yield and oil rate and protein percentage of four varieties of castor in the climatic conditions of Damghan. The experiment was done in the research farm of Damghan Islamic Azad University(Iran)in 2011 assplit plots in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The main plots of drought stress were 5, 10 and15 days and another factor included four varities of castor ( one-flower, two- flower, local and red-flower) which were performed in stable density of fivebushes per cultured square meter. Therefore, after gremination, the amount of irrigation water was recorded using volumetric meters. The traits evaluated included oil rate,seed protein percentage, andgrainyield. The results show that two-flower variety with 1241 kg per hectare on 5-day drought stress has the most grain yield. Most oil rate was observed in two-flower variety on 5 day drought stress with 496.4 kg/ha.
