This study evaluated CERES-Rice, AquaCrop, and ORYZA2000 models performance in simulation of biological and grain yield of rice in response to different irrigation intervals and nitrogen levels. These models were calibrated and validated by using three years (2005 to 2007) field experiments. Three levels of irrigation interval included pond treatment, five days interval, and eight days interval, and consisted of four levels of nitrogen. The study results showed that there were significant differences among study crop models in simulation of grain and biological yield in response to different irrigation intervals. As results showed, study models performed more accurate in estimation of rice yield under irrigation intervals than nitrogen levels. All models illustrated high performance in estimation of rice yield under different irrigation intervals. CERES-Rice and AquaCrop models showed highest accuracy in simulation of grain and biological yield of rice under different levels of nitrogen, respectively. In addition, CERES-Rice model indicated highest performance in simulation of grain yield (rRMSE = 16). However, AquaCrop model estimated biological yield more accurate compared to other models (rRMSE = 15). ORYZA2000 showed less accurate in simulating grain (rRMSE = 23) and biological (rRMSE = 21) yield of rice in comparison with other models.  相似文献

Metabolite Analysis Allows Insight into the Differences in Functionality of 25 Saccharomyces cerevisiae Strains in Bread Dough Fermentation     

Mohammad N. Rezaei  Kevin J. Verstrepen  Christophe M. Courtin 《Cereal Chemistry》2015,92(6):588-597

During dough fermentation, yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) changes the physical properties of the dough matrix. In this study, we investigate if different yeast strains have an impact on dough rheology and on the gas holding capacity of fermenting dough. Furthermore, we analyze whether observed differences are linked to the metabolite profiles of the yeast strains. More specifically, the impact of 25 yeast strains on dough spread, dough fermentation properties, and dough metabolite profile was analyzed. Our results demonstrate large differences in the fermentation ability and metabolite profile of the 25 strains. Analysis of metabolites in fermented dough confirmed that acetic acid and succinic acid are likely responsible for the lowering of dough pH during fermentation and that the onset of CO₂ release from dough is related to dough pH rather than to the volume of CO₂ within the dough. Our results further suggest that the spread test is an inadequate tool to quantify rheological differences observed for strains with different fermentation profiles.  相似文献

The effect of rotation speed on the power consumption and cutting accuracy of guided circular saw: Experimental measurement and analysis of saw critical and flutter speeds     

Vahid Nasir  Ahmad Mohammadpanah  Julie Cool 《Wood material science & engineering》2020,15(3):140-146

ABSTRACT

This paper investigates the effect of rotation speed and vibration response of a circular saw on the sawing process of Douglas-fir wood. An idling test was conducted on a guided circular saw to determine its stable operation speeds and vibration behavior. Short-time Fourier transform analysis was performed on saw idling test data, and variation of excited frequencies of the blade as a function of rotation speed was obtained. The saw blade critical speeds and the rotation speeds that correspond to saw flutter instability were identified. Then experimental cutting tests were conducted at different cutting conditions and the effect of rotation speed and saw vibration response on cutting power consumption and sawing accuracy was investigated. The results showed that conducting a saw idling test and vibration response analysis can identify the saw critical and flutter speeds, which is essential for identifying the optimum rotation speed of circular saw. There was a significant increase in power consumption when cutting at super-critical and super-flutter speed. The effect of rotation speed on sawing accuracy is complex and nonlinear. This effect interacts with feed speed, which makes it difficult to generalize sawing accuracy versus rotation speed in the circular sawing process.  相似文献

Topography is the most factor that has the greatest impact of all factor that affect the distribution.To study the diversity of trees and shrub species in the Perc forest situated in Khorramabad,Lorestan,140 circular plots of 1200 m~2 in a grid of 300 m 9 250 m were surveyed,using a systematic random sampling method.In each plot,the Margalef richness index,Shannon–Wiener diversity index,Hill's N_1 and Simpson indices and the evenness index of Simpson and Smith-Wilson were calculated and ordered on the basis of different classes of elevation,exposition and slope.The results indicated that slope did not have any significant effect on the indices.Exposition and elevation classes significant impacted the richness and diversity indices,but did not influence evenness.In general,the highest plant diversity was observed for slopes less than 15 %,northern aspects,without geographical direction,and elevations of 2100–2200 m.This information can be very useful in achieving the goals for sustainable management of forests.In addition to greater protection for regions with high diversity and reforestation(compatible species) in degraded area,we can help increase diversity in forests.  相似文献

Masoud Selk Ghaffari  Mohammad Ali Rezaei  Amir Hessam Mirani  Nargess Khorami 《Veterinary ophthalmology》2010,13(2):91-93

Objective To determine the effects of intravenous ketamine‐midazolam anesthesia on intraocular pressure (IOP) in ocular normotensive dogs. Animals Thirteen adult mixed‐breed dogs. Procedures Dogs were randomly assigned to treatment (n = 7) and control (n = 6) groups. Dogs in the treatment group received intravenous ketamine 15 mg/kg and midazolam 0.2 mg/kg and dogs in the control group received intravenous saline. The time of intravenous drug injection was recorded (T₀). Measurements of IOP were then repeated 5 min (T₅) and 20 min (T₂₀) following the intravenous administration of ketamine‐midazolam combination and saline in both groups. Results Measurements showed normal IOP values in both groups. The mean ± SD baseline IOP values for treatment and control groups were 13.00 ± 1.47 and 10.33 ± 2.20, respectively. For baseline IOP values, there was no significant difference between treatment and control groups (P = 0.162). In the treatment group, the subsequent post‐treatment mean ± SD values were 15.64 ± 2.17 (5 min), and 14.92 ± 1.98 (20 min). There was no evidence of statistical difference between baseline values and post‐treatment values after treatment with ketamine‐midazolam (P₅ = 0.139; P₂₀ = 0.442). In control eyes, the mean ± SD values at 5 and 20 min were 10.41 ± 2.01 and 10.16 ± 1.69, respectively. There was no significant difference between baseline values and post‐treatment values in control group (P₅ = 1.000; P₂₀ = 1.000). Conclusion Ketamine‐midazolam combination has no clinically significant effect on IOP in the dog.  相似文献

Effects of daily consumption of probiotic yoghurt on inflammatory factors in pregnant women: a randomized controlled trial     

Asemi Z  Jazayeri S  Najafi M  Samimi M  Mofid V  Shidfar F  Foroushani AR  Shahaboddin ME 《Pakistan journal of biological sciences: PJBS》2011,14(8):476-482

Previous studies have shown that inflammatory factors increases in pregnancy and is associated with several complications of pregnancy. The aim of this study was to assess effects of daily consumption of probiotic yoghurt on inflammatory factors in pregnant women. In a randomized clinical trial, seventy primigravid (the first pregnancy) and singleton pregnant women aged 18-30 years were assigned to two groups. Subjects consumed daily 200 g probiotic yoghurt containing Lactobacillus acidophilus La5 and Bifidobacterium animalis BB12 (10(7) CFU g(-1) for each) or 200 g conventional yoghurt for 9 weeks. Fasting blood samples were collected at baseline (28 weeks of gestation) and after intervention (37 weeks of gestation). Inflammatory factors, hs-CRP and TNF-alpha, were measured by Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Independent t-test was used to compare the two groups after intervention and paired-sample t-test compared variables before and after treatment. The results showed that the probiotic yogurt brought about a decrease in the serum hs-CRP level, from 10.44 +/- 1.56 to 7.44 +/- 1.03 microg mL(-1) (p = 0.041). There was no significant change in the conventional yogurt group in the serum hs-CRP level (12.55 +/- 1.57 to 14.51 +/- 1.62 microg mL(-1), p = 0.202). The probiotic yogurt had no effect on TNF-alpha (from 73.75 +/- 6.59 to 77.91 +/- 5.61 pg mL(-1), p = 0.633). Serum TNF-alpha did not change in the conventional yogurt group (p = 0.134). In conclusion probiotic yogurt significantly decreased hs-CRP in pregnant women but had no effect on TNF-alpha.  相似文献   

Educational Needs Assessment of Rice Supervising Agents Regarding Multifunctional Agriculture in Guilan Province,Iran     

Hajar Eftekhari  Babs Surujlal  Vahid Shadparvar 《Journal Of Agricultural & Food Information》2013,14(4):274-289

The aim of this study was to identify rice supervising agents' educational needs in the field of multifunctional agriculture in Guilan Province, Iran. The statistical population included rice supervising agents in Guilan Province in 2014 (N = 169), of which 106 people were randomly sampled. The data collection tool was a research-designed questionnaire which was filled out by respondents using the self-reporting method. Results showed that among production functions of agriculture, rice supervising agents had a high need to be trained in the functions of “the production of raw material for rural handicrafts,” “the production of animal feed,” and “the production of medicinal herbs for medical and pharmaceutical purposes.” Participants' needs for training in nonproduction functions of agriculture were ranked by the Friedman test; results indicated a great need for education in the environmental functions of agriculture and a lesser need for education in its economic functions.  相似文献
