Irrigation water is limiting for crop production in arid and semi-arid areas. Furthermore, excess nitrogen (N) application is a source of groundwater contamination. Partial root drying irrigation (PRD) can be used as water saving technique and a controlling measure of groundwater N contamination. The objectives of this investigation were to evaluate the effect of ordinary furrow irrigation (OFI...

Background & Objective:  Islamic fasting is observed by millions of Muslims across the world during the holy month of Ramadan and other specific  days of the lunar year. Fasting  Muslims  abstain from eating and drinking from dawn until sunset. Depending on season and geographical location, Muslims  maintain fasting for approximately 13-18 hours per day.

The coexistence of several schools in non-equilibrium thermodynamics is a reality.At the beginning of the 21st century, the thermodynamics of systems far from. However, it turns out that many nonequilibrium phenomena can be described.An alternate evolutionary hypothesis is discussed: non-equilibrium. Literature on non-equilibrium thermodynamics and its relationship to evolutionary.The online ve...

There is an urgent need to explore the utility and safety of alternate drugs in treatment of enteric fever due to emergence of multidrug resistant (MDR) and nalidixic acid resistant (NARST) strains of Salmonella typhi. Azithromycin is a potentially useful drug in treatment of typhoid fever because of its high intracellular tissue penetration and a long elimination half life (72 hours). This sys...

Let G be a graph with p vertices and q edges and A = {0, 1, 2, . . . , [q/2]}. A vertex labeling f : V (G) → A induces an edge labeling f∗ defined by f∗(uv) = f(u) + f(v) for all edges uv. For a ∈ A, let vf (a) be the number of vertices v with f(v) = a. A graph G is said to be vertex equitable if there exists a vertex labeling f such that for all a and b in A, |vf (a) − vf (b)| ≤ 1 and the indu...
