to evaluate the yield and yield components in additive intercropping system of grain sorghum (sorghum bicolor l.) and cowpea (vigna unguiculata l.) under limited irrigation condition, an experiment was conducted in research farm of college of agriculture, university of tehran, during spring 2006. the experimental treatments were arranged in split plots based on a complete randomized block desig...

With reduced water resources available for agriculture, scientists and engineers have developed innovative technologies and management strategies aimed at increasing efficient use of irrigation water. The objective of this research was to study the impact of deficit irrigation strategies on sorghum grain attributes and bioethanol production. Grain sorghumwas planted at Southwest Research-Extens...

The organization and quantity of myosin irrigation into myosin-free “ghost” fibers were compared between normal and PSE myosin. Considerable amounts of myosin were incorporated into the “ghost” fibers for both normal and PSE myosin. Elec t ron microscopic s tudy showed tha t the myosin f i laments were formed a l l over the thin filaments after the irrigation. However, there was almost no diffe...

Experiments have been carried out to test the feasibility of using cryo-irrigation as a means of ablating the synovium in the rheumatoid knee joint. Cryo-irrigation was performed by a cooling machine and pump, which circulated cold 200/10 centistoke (cSt) silicone through the knee joint of rabbits anaesthetised with intravenous (IV) 'Saffan'. Fluid left the joint at -5 to -10 degrees C. Sixteen...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate and compare the cleaning ability of the more biocompatible 1% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) with passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI) to that of 2.5% NaOCl with syringe method irrigation. MATERIAL AND METHODOLOGY Thirty-six extracted permanent single-rooted mandibular premolar teeth were decoronated at the cemento-enamel junction and divided randomly into four groups (nine ...

BACKGROUND Although most surgeons prefer to treat contaminated wounds as soon as possible, the effect of timing on the ability of irrigation to reduce the amount of bacteria in a wound is not fully known. We evaluated the effect of different delays in irrigation on bacterial removal in an animal model. METHODS A complex musculoskeletal wound was created in the proximal part of the leg of goat...

Sage (Salvia officinalis L.) is cultivated worldwide especially in Mediterranean regions in which the leaves of this herb are widely used in pharmaceutical and food industries. Brassinolides and paclobutrazol are naturally occurring substances which modulate plant growth and development events and have been known to improve the crops tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses. The effects of spra...

Introduction: Adherent bacteria on orthopaedic implants are difficult to eradicate despite irrigation and treatment with IV antibiotics. This has led to the use of other irrigation solutions including surfactants (castile soap), antiseptics (povidine, chlorhexidine, hydrogen peroxide) and antibiotics (bacitracin, neomycin, and polymyxin). The mechanism of bacteria adhesion offers another yet un...
