Introduction: Occupational exposure to ionizing radiation due to medical activities (both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures) has increased sharply in recent years. Among the occupationally exposed workers in these fields, those most affected by this increased exposure to ionizing radiation are nuclear medicine workers. In this study, annual average effective dose, annual collective effectiv...

One of key inputs to hydrological modeling is the potential evapotranspiration, either from the interception (PET0) or from the soil water of root zone (PET). The Shuttleworth–Wallace (S–W) model is developed for their estimation. In this parameterization, neither experimental measurement nor calibration is introduced. Based on IGBP land cover classification, the typical thresholds of vegetatio...

The current study aims to document evapotranspiration and associated surface energy fluxes for rainfed annual crops within a Mediterranean hilly agrosystem, in order provide information on crop water use under such little-studied conditions. For this, an experimental is conducted the Tunisian site of OMERE observatory (French acronym Observatory Water Rural Environment), located north-eastern C...

Temporal variability and linkages among hydrologic components of a natural riparian wetland in the southeast USA were examined using two years of measured data. Rainfall was the dominant inflow and evapotranspiration (ET) the dominant outflow for the wetland. The wetland response factor, defined as the ratio of runoff to rainfall volume, was small and surface runoff accounted for only 9% of the...

[1] An overview of the annual hydroclimatology of the United States is provided. Time series of monthly streamflow, temperature, and precipitation are developed for 1337 watersheds in the United States. This unique data set is then used to evaluate several approaches for estimating the long-term water balance and the interannual variability of streamflow. Traditional relationships which predict...

Internationally exploited lubricants are derived from coal and petroleum. Due to their high consumption and effects of their long-term pollution on the environment, it is imperative to use renewable and cheap feedstock for the synthesis of bio-based lubricants. This study presents the synthesis and optimization process of Ethylene Glycol (EG) based bio-lubricant from palm kernel oil. Palm Kerne...

This study carried out to investigate the production of hydrogen using the organic fraction of municipal solid waste OFMSW, where the anaerobic digester was depended as a method for disposing and treating OFMSW and producing bio-hydrogen. Bio-hydrogen production had been studied under different parameters including pH, solid content T.S%, temperature and mixing ratios between the thick sludge t...

this experiment was laid out in order to evaluate the effects  of different biofertilizers on yield components of barley. the experiment was a factorial design with three replications. treatments were three nitrogen biofrtilizers (nitroksin, nitrokara and supernitroplass) and three phosphate  biofrtilizers (phosphate barvar2, biozarr and superplass) with control for them and yield components we...

this experiment was lay out in order to evaluate the effects of different biofertilizers on seed yield, protein and oil of rapeseed in iran. the experiment was a factorial design with three replications. treatments were four nitrogen biofrtilizers (control (n1), nitroksin (n2), azotobacter (n3) and supernitroplat (n4)) and three phosphate biofrtilizers ( control(p1), biosfer phosphate (p2) and ...
