Abstract
The effect of different levels of betaine and tryptophan on growth and resistance to salinities in the Caspian roach was investigated. Fish (1.90 ± 0.04 g body weight) were divided into 9 groups (4 treatments groups containing betaine (0.5 and 1), tryptophan (0.25 and 0.5), betaine and tryptophan mixtures (0.25- 0.5, 0.25, -1, 0.5-0.5 and 0.5- 1), and control group). After recording the growth factors, the fish were exposed to salinities (12, 16 and 20 ppt) and clinical symptoms and mortality rate were recorded. No mortality occurred in 12 ppt salinity. At 16 ppt, the lowest mortality (16.66%) was recorded in the treatment containing 1% betaine and 0.5% tryptophan, while the highest mortalty (59.98%) occurred in the control group. At 20 ppt salinity, 100% mortality occurred within 6 hours in the control, while in the other treatments 100%-mortality occurred after 24 hours. Behavioral symptoms, such as jerky movements, ataxia, increased respiratory rate, were more prominent in higher salinities. Tryptophan did not reduce food consumption meaningfully. Increaesd food consumption as the result of betaine did not show significant effect on the fish growth rate.

Abstract
In this research, physicochemical and antioxidant properties of two varieties of lemon (Cook Eureka and Khoushehi) were evaluated during two years by sampling from October 17 to November 16, every 10 days (four times) from trees and at the end of shelf life period. The results showed, generally, the size and volume of fruit of Cook Eureka was large and Khoushehi lemon was small. The fruit weight and juice percentage in Cook Eureka did not change significantly (p<0.05) during harvesting time and shelf life. The TSS/TA ratio also increased during ripening and shelf life, with the exception of the Khoushehi fruits which harvested on November 16. Although the technology index in Cook Eureka was not significantly change during harvesting times, but the peel thickness of Khoushehi fruits decreased during shelf life. In general, the values of L*, a* and b* color indices in both varieties and experiment were high from first to last harvest times. Also, amount of Chroma and CCI showed an increase pattern during shelf life. Fruits picked at the last harvest (Nov. 16), which had the highest amount of vitamin C (28.31 mg/100gFW), also had the highest vitamin C levels at the end of shelf life (42.64 mg/100gFW). Totally, the total phenol and antioxidant content of fruit were increased during shelf life period in both varieties.

Abstract
In order to evaluate the effect of different preharvest fertilization methods on quantitative and qualitative characteristics of kiwifruit (var. Hayward) at postharvest stage, an experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with 8 treatments in four replications in Citrus and Sub-tropical Fruits Research Center during three crop years (2014- 2016). Fertilizer treatments included broadcast application (control), localized placement, strip, foliar, fertigation, broadcast application + foliar, fertigation + foliar and localized placement + foliar. Then in the first of November in each year, sampling of the treated fruits was carried out to measure the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the fruit at postharvest stage during three years. Harvested fruits were kept cold storage at 0.5 ° C and 90% relative humidity for three months. The results showed, the fertilizer method had a significant effect on the fruits weight loss. So that the fruits fed by strip (6.08%), fertigation (6.74%) and combination of fertigation and foliar application (6.61 %) methods had less weight loss during cold storage, respectively. L * and chroma content of flesh were affected by the fertigation method. Result also showed that the control fruits had the lowest amount of antioxidant capacity and strip fertilization treatment had the highest antioxidant capacity during cold storage. Sensory attributes analysis showed that the amount of aroma, flavour, off-flavour, sweetness, sourness and overall fruit acceptability in fruits treated by broadcast application + foliar method obtained the most desirable scores.

Abstract
One of the most important problems in the field of cultivation and production of garden products, especially oranges, is the irrigation of the plant and its amount. Iran has many challenges in growing and producing orange fruit due to its diverse climate and being located in a dry region. Based on, in the present study, the effect of water stress and storage time of the product in cold storage (fruits of Thomson Novell cultivar after harvest in cold storage at 5 ° C and 85% humidity for 90 days and Valencia oranges at 20 ° C for Stored for 30 days) on chemical properties (antioxidant activity, ascorbic acid content), physical (weight, width, length, volume, volume, weight and weight of the extract), color characteristics and sensory properties were evaluated. The physical changes of Thomson and Valencia oranges in the samples without water stress on the first day were not significantly different, although minor reduction in storage time. According to the results, the highest weight loss, extract weight, antioxidant, ascorbic acid and volume of orange varieties during storage were in samples under dehydration stress. The color components include brightness, a * and b * decreased in Thomson orange samples under water stress and during storage, but the Valencia orange but did not significant difference was observed. Sensory properties of bad taste and bitterness were higher in oranges under water stress and scored lower in terms of sensory evaluators.

Abstract
Aim: Zinc oxide nanoparticles are known as important metal oxide nanoparticles and are used in many medical and biological fields, but concerns are rising due to their potential effects on some organs. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of aerobic exercise on renal angiotensin-II and angiotensin type 1 receptor levels in administered Rats with Nano Zinc Oxide.
Materials and Methods: In this experimental research, 35 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control, salin, nano zinc oxide, exercise and exercise plus nano zinc oxide groups. Zinc nitric oxide (1mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally, 5 days a week into exercise and exercise plus nano zinc oxide groups. The exercise program consisted of progressive running on a treadmill (5 sessions per week for 4 weeks). Two days after the last application, the rats were euthanized. The kidney tissue is separated and angiotensin-II and angiotensin type 1 receptor were measured. Data were analyzed by SPSS 20 software using one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s post hoc test.
Findings: After 4 weeks of chronic treatment with nano zinc oxide, the levels of angiotensin-II and angiotensin type 1 were significantly increased. Exercise significantly reduced renal angiotensin II and angiotensin type 1 levels. However, these variable levels in exercise plus nano zinc oxide group still were significantly higher than control group (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Aerobic exercise reduces renal angiotensin II and angiotensin type 1 levels in Administered Rats with nano zinc oxide.

Abstract
Bread is a basic and essential good that has a special importance in the consumer basket of households and constitutes the main food of many people in the world. The main objective of this study was to investigate the consumption behavior of household bread basket using demand systems during 1998-2018. Therefore, estimates of various demand systems including generalized ordinary demand, Almost Ideal Differential Demand, Rotterdam, Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) and National Bureau of Research (NBR) were used to select the appropriate demand system to calculate the price and income elasticities of bread demand. Based on statistical tests and econometric criteria, the results showed that the generalized ordinary demand system was the most appropriate model for estimating the consumption demand of the bread basket in urban households. The income elasticities of all types of bread were positive, and, for urban consumers, Barbari and industrial bread were essential and Lavash, Sangak, and Taftoon were luxury types. Also, according to the negative expectations and cross elasticities of Sangak with Barbari, self-price elasticities of different types of bread were positive, meaning that Sangak was replaced by Barbari. In addition, the variable effect of subsidy targeting was positive for Taftoon and Lavash breads, negative for Barbari, and meaningless for Sangak. According to the study results, it is suggested that government officials pay special attention to the importance of bread consumption basket and preferences of its consumers in economic policies regarding food and household consumption basket (such as targeted subsidies).
