The objective was to compare the antibacterial effects of adjunctive disinfection using diode laser and gaseous ozone compared to the medical dressings calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) and chlorhexidine gel (CHX-Gel) on Enterococcus faecalis biofilms in human root canals ex vivo. Root canals of 180 human extracted teeth were infected by E. faecalis and divided into 3 main groups (G): G1, control; G2...

Knowledge of the way perturbations propagate and/or attenuate along free-flow irrigation delivery systems is crucial for monitoring and effectively operating a system. With this knowledge sections of the canal system which are identified as sensitive to flow perturbations should be targeted for more frequent inspection and operational decisions than others. The steady-state hydraulic approach f...

Canal scheduling is an important activity that significantly influences production of crops compared to other aspects of agriculture. Irrigation canal scheduling is the activity of preparing an optimal schedule of outlets on supply canal as per need of user, subject to canal system constraints. In this paper, the problem of optimal operational scheduling of irrigation canal with provision to op...

Multi-objective optimization was used to calibrate a regional surface water-groundwater model of the Yaqui Valley, a 6800 km2 irrigated agricultural region located along the Sea of Cortez in Sonora, Mexico. The model simulates three-dimensional groundwater flow coupled to onedimensional surface water flow in the irrigation canals. It accounts for the spatial distribution of annual recharge from...

The article deals with one of the most important problems mechanization rural and economic work on state irrigation canals ensuring their high-quality functioning. Irrigation canals, water intakes hydraulic structures are destructed deformed from natural climate artificial factors. A large capacity bucket shovel form equipped roller designed for cleaning lined silting sediment was considered. l...
