abstract information on spatial and temporal variations of soil hydraulic conductivity (k) is essential to improve soil and water management. however several techniques have been proposed for measuring of soil hydraulic conductivity above water surface table, but reliability and easy use of these methods in various conditions were always concern for engineers. the purposes of this study are mea...

Background: Radiotherapy Treatment Planning requires different dosimetric quantities as input in order to calculate a desired dose distribution. This study has been focused to evaluate the depth dose characteristics of superficial X-rays being used for radiotherapy treatment. Materials and Methods: Computerized 3-D water phantom of multi-data system was used. The measurements were made...

introduction:  on  the  basis  of  percent  depth  dose  (pdd)  calculation,  the  application  of  dosimetry  in  radiotherapy  has  an  important  role  to  play  in  reducing  the  chance  of  tumor  recurrence. the aim of this study is to introduce a new formula for calculating the centeral axis  percent depth doses of cobalt-60 beam.   materials and methods: in the present study, based on ...

background: groundwater nitrate pollution is an important environmental problem in water resources management. in this regard, specific measures aiming at prevention of water pollution will be helpful to managers and decision-makers. identification of aquifers’ vulnerable areas and determination of groundwater protection zones using most widely used models, such as drastic and cd, are one of th...

evaluating drainage systems, exploring their strengths and weaknesses, provides a comprehensive perspective to designers and organizers for optimum design and implementation of guidelines for the future. this study was conducted at an experimental site consisting of three plots on a subsurface drainage network under operation in behshahr, a coastal region in northern iran. to evaluate system pe...
