Mohammadi, Reza,Mohammadi, Mohtasham,Karimizadeh, Rahmatollah,Amri, Ahmed 한국작물학회 2010 Journal of crop science and biotechnology Vol.13 No.4

This study was performed for pattern analysis of genotype-by-environment (GE) interaction on 20 durum wheat genotypes grown in 15 testing environments during 2004 - 06 in Iran. Combined analysis of variance showed significant genotypes (G), environments (E), and GE interactions (P < 0.01), with environmental main effects being the predominant source of variation, followed by GE interaction. The results showed various patterns of genotype responses to different environment groups and assisted in structuring the durum wheat testing locations with identification of two major-environment groups with high genotype discrimination ability. The locations (Gachsaran and Ilam) corresponding to warm and semi-arid aresa were similar in genotype discrimination and showed no association with the other testing locations (Gonbad, Moghan, and Khoramabad) representing the Mediterranean area, indicating they differ in rankings of genotypes. The top-yielding genotypes, G13, Gl4 and G9, were highly adapted to warm and semi-arid environments, but those corresponding to the Mediterranean area had a high ability to discriminate the genotypes G16, G11, and Saimareh. The stability and adaptability of specific genotypes were assessed by plotting their nominal grain yields at specific environments in an ordination biplot, which aided in the identification of environment groups. Appropriate check genotypes for all environments or for specific environments were also identified. Pattern analysis allowed a sensible and useful summarization of GE interaction data set and helped to facilitate selecting superior genotypes for target-growing sites.

Extraction of caffeine and catechins using microwave-assisted and ultrasonic extraction from green tea leaves: an optimization study by the IV-optimal design

Vahid Ghasemzadeh-mohammadi,Bahman Zamani,Maryam Afsharpour,Abdorreza Mohammadi 한국식품과학회 2017 Food Science and Biotechnology Vol.26 No.5

In this research, optimal conditions for extraction of caffeine and polyphenols were established from Iranian green tea leaves. In the first step, caffeine was extracted with efficacy about 86% versed to 4.5% of EGC ? EGCG. The EGCG ? EGC was extracted from partially decaffeinated green tea leaves through microwave- assisted extraction (MAE) and ultrasound-assisted extraction (USE) with efficiency levels of 95 and 85%, respectively. The best results for the MAE process were obtained with 7.8 min and three number of extraction cycles and for the USE process were as followed: time 57 min, temperature 65 C, and the number of extraction cycles 3. The total phenol content values at the best conditions of MAE and the USE processes were 125 ± 5 and 96 ± 6 mg gallic acid/g DW. The 50% inhibition (IC50) on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) were 56 and 66 mg/ g of phenol for the MAE and USE processes.

Application of frictional sliding fuse in infilled frames, fuse adjustment and influencing parameters

Mohammadi-Gh, M.,Akrami, V. Techno-Press 2010 Structural Engineering and Mechanics, An Int'l Jou Vol.36 No.6

An experimental investigation is conducted here to study the effects of applying frictional sliding fuses (FSF) in concrete infilled steel frames. Firstly, the influences of some parameters on the behavior of the sliding fuse are studied: Methods of adjusting the FSF for a certain sliding strength are explained and influences of time duration, welding and corrosion are investigated as well. Based on the results, time duration does not significantly affect the FSF, however influences of welding and corrosion of the constitutive plates are substantial. Then, the results of testing two 1/3 scale single-storey single-bay concrete infilled steel frames having FSF are presented. The specimens were similar, except for different regulations of their fuses, tested by displacement controlled cyclic loading. The results demonstrate that applying FSF improves infill behaviors in both perpendicular directions. The infilled frames with FSF have more appropriate hysteresis cycles, higher ductility, much lower deteriorations in strength and stiffness in comparison with regular ones. Consequently, the infills, provided with FSF, can be regarded as an engineered element, however, special consideration should be taken into the affecting parameters of their fuses.

Experimental study and numerical modeling of liquid sloshing damping in a cylindrical container with annular and sectorial baffles

Mohammadi, Mohammad Mahdi,Moosazadeh, Hamid Techno-Press 2022 Advances in aircraft and spacecraft science Vol.9 No.4

The ability of baffles in increasing the sloshing damping is investigated in this study by theoretical, numerical, and experimental methods. Baffles Installed as separators in containers, can change the dynamic properties of sloshing. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of baffle placement.The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of placing baffles in order to provide appropriate frequencies and damping and to present a practical baffle arrangement in the design ofsloshing. In this regard, an experimental setup is designed to study the fluid sloshing behavior and damping properties in cylindrical tanks filled up to an arbitrary depth. A new combination of annular and sectorial baffles is employed to evaluate fluid sloshing in the tank. The results show that the proposed baffle arrangement has a desired effect on the damping and fluid sloshing frequencies and optimally satisfies the anticipated design requirements. In addition, the theoretical frequencies exceed empirical frequencies at the points far from baffles, while at the points close to baffles, the empirical ones are higher than theoretical ones. Also, at the depths near the bottom of container sloshing frequencies are not affected by sectorial baffles, although the theoretical curve predicts a reduction in the fundamental frequency of sloshing. Finally, the results of finite volume and finite element methods which compared with experimental data, indicated a good agreement between different approaches.

Shear strength behavior of crude oil contaminated sand-concrete interface

Mohammadi, Amirhossein,Ebadi, Taghi,Eslami, Abolfazl Techno-Press 2017 Geomechanics & engineering Vol.12 No.2

A laboratory investigation into crude oil contaminated sand-concrete interface behavior is performed. The interface tests were carried out through a direct shear apparatus. Pure sand and sand-bentonite mixture with different crude oil contents and three concrete surfaces of different textures (smooth, semi-rough, and rough) were examined. The experimental results showed that the concrete surface texture is an effective factor in soil-concrete interface shear strength. The interface shear strength of the rough concrete surface was found higher than smooth and semi-rough concrete surfaces. In addition to the texture, the normal stress and the crude oil content also play important roles in interface shear strength. Moreover, the friction angle decreases with increasing crude oil content due to increase of oil concentration in soil and it increases with increasing interface roughness.

A NOTE ON MINIMAL PRIME IDEALS

Mohammadi, Rasul,Moussavi, Ahmad,Zahiri, Masoome Korean Mathematical Society 2017 대한수학회보 Vol.54 No.4

Let R be a strongly 2-primal ring and I a proper ideal of R. Then there are only finitely many prime ideals minimal over I if and only if for every prime ideal P minimal over I, the ideal $P/{\sqrt{I}}$ of $R/{\sqrt{I}}$ is finitely generated if and only if the ring $R/{\sqrt{I}}$ satisfies the ACC on right annihilators. This result extends "D. D. Anderson, A note on minimal prime ideals, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 122 (1994), no. 1, 13-14." to large classes of noncommutative rings. It is also shown that, a 2-primal ring R only has finitely many minimal prime ideals if each minimal prime ideal of R is finitely generated. Examples are provided to illustrate our results.

The Association of Dietary Total Antioxidant Capacity with Inflammatory Biomarkers and Anthropometric Indices in Patients Who Candidate for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery: a Cross-sectional Study

Mohammadi Zahra,Abdollahzad Hadi,Rezaeian Shahab,Sabzi Feridoun,Tafteh Nazanin 한국임상영양학회 2021 Clinical Nutrition Research Vol.10 No.4

Antioxidant compounds can attenuate inflammation and delay degenerative processes especially in the cardiovascular system. This study aimed to determine the relationship between dietary total antioxidant capacity (DTAC) and serum biomarkers in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery. In this cross-sectional study, 146 patients who had referred to Imam Ali Hospital in Kermanshah were recruited and demographic, anthropometric, physical activity and dietary data were collected. Fasting blood glucose (FBG), serum levels of lipid profile, inflammatory markers (interleukin [IL]-17, intercellular and vascular cell adhesion molecules [ICAM, VCAM]), and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) were also measured. A regression model adjusted for confounding variables presented that the coefficients of ICAM and VCAM (ng/dL) in the third tertile of DTAC were lower than those in the first tertile (β = −417.2, 95% confidence interval [CI] = −509.9 to −324.5, p < 0.001; β = −293.2, 95% CI = −334.3, −252.1, p < 0.001, respectively). The β of serum TAC (ng/dL) in the third tertile was 0.86 (95% CI = 0.77, 0.95, p < 0.001) higher than that in the first tertile. DTAC had no statistically significant relationship with lipid profile, FBG, and IL-17 levels, and anthropometric indices. In this study DTAC was associated with increased serum TAC and decreased cell adhesion molecules. Therefore, diet antioxidants may be beneficial in attenuating of inflammation in coronary artery diseases.

Effects of Weed Interference and Starter Fertilizer on Subsequent Seed Germination and Vigour of Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.)

Mohammadi, G.R.,Amiri, F. The Korean Society of Weed ScienceThe Turfgrass So 2012 Weed&Turfgrass Science Vol.32 No.1

The study was conducted to investigate the effect of weed interference and starter fertilizer on subsequent soybean seed quality at the Agricultural Research Farm and Laboratory of Razi University, Kermanshah, Iran. Two factorial experiment was laid-outon a randomized complete block design with four replications. First factor was starter fertilizer levels (0 and 25 kg $ha^{-1}$) applied in the forms of monoammonium phosphate, the second factor was different weed interference periods consisted of five initial weed-free periods (in which, plots were kept free of weeds for 0, 15, 30, 45 and 60 days after crop emergence (DAE) and then weeds were allowed to grow until harvest) and five initial weed-infested periods (in which, weeds were allowed to grow for 0, 15, 30, 45 and 60DAE, after which the plots were kept free of weeds until harvest). Full season weedy condition reduced 100-seed weight, seed germination percentage and seedling dry weight by 25.9, 13.3 and 22.5%, respectively and increased mean germination time and seed electrical conductivity by 55.8 and 24.3%, respectively as compared with full season weed-free control. However, the traits under study were not significantly influenced when field was kept free of weeds for at least 45 DAE (R1) or weedy condition was continued for less than 30 DAE (V8). There was a significant and negative correlation between weed biomass and seed weight (r = -0.93), so that when weed free condition was less than 45 DAE or weed infested period was continued for at least 30 DAE, soybean plants produced wrinkled and underdeveloped seeds with lower weights and qualities. Moreover, soybean seed quality reduction due to weed interference was more evident when starter fertilizer was applied and weeds interfered with soybean from the beginning of the growing season. Information from the present study is beneficial in soybean seed production systems and where farmers use the harvested seeds for the following planting.
