increasing water distribution uniformity in micro irrigation systems has been an important subject in applied researches. despite considerable progress in emitters’ construction, some research reports refer to their incapability in water distribution uniformity. in order to achieve greater uniformity in micro irrigation, it is necessary to manufacture emitters with low variation in manufacturin...

introduction: non-uniformity test is essentially the only required daily qc procedure in nuclear medicine practice. noise creates statistical variation or random error in a flood image. non-uniformity on the other hand does not have statistical nature and may be regarded as systemic error. the present methods of non-uniformity calculation do not distinguish between these two types of error. the...

Let X be an algebraic variety over the algebraically closed field K and Ξ ⊆ X(K) a set of K-rational points on X. We say that a subvariety Y ⊆ Xn of some Cartesian power of X is Ξ-special if Ξn ∩ Y (K) is Zariski dense in Y . We show under certain hypotheses on Ξ, for instance, that the class of Ξ-special varieties is closed under intersections, that when subvarieties of X vary in an algebraic ...

Yields of four soybean, Glycine max, cultivars were increased with subsoiling under the row and application of the nematicide, DBCP i 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane) in Tiflon sandy loam heavily infested with the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita. These cultivars represent four maturity groups: very early (V), "Essex', early (VI), "Davis': medium (VII), 'Ransom'; and late (VIII), ' Hutton '...

Carbenoxolone sodium is an effective agent promoting the healing of chronic gastric ulcers (Doll, Hill, Hutton, and Underwood, 1962; Doll, Hill, and Hutton, 1965; Horwich and Galloway, 1965; Turpie and Thomson, 1965). The drug is readily absorbed from the stomach and is largely excreted in bile (Iveson, Parke, and Williams, 1966). It is believed to have a local effect on the gastric mucosa thro...

I ncreasing production efficiency is becoming a major theme for producers in order to maintain or increase their economic return in an increasingly competitive global market. In the case of irrigated agriculture, producers must also address increasing public concern about water conservation, water quality, and environmental protection. Two irrigation management issues require attention in order...
