Introduction We aimed to investigate irrigation and drainage characteristics of commercially available urethral catheters and determined which catheter offers the best flow characteristics. Material and methods Twelve different commercially available urethral catheters from three companies (Bard™, Rusch™ and Dover™) were investigated to compare their irrigation and drainage properties. Irriga...

Abstract The study demonstrates the implementation of Jaya Algorithm (JA) to optimize Irrigation Pipe Distribution Network (IPDN) for networks Kanhan Branch Pench project, Maharashtra, India. In present work, two case studies with their different sizes are designed using Critical Path Method (CPM). pipe diameters thus obtained in CPM optimized optimization techniques, viz. linear programming (L...

The role of agriculture in society is vital due to factors such as providing food for the population, a major source employment worldwide, and one most important sources revenue countries. Furthermore, recent years, interest optimizing use water resources has increased aspects climate change. This led introduction technology fields by means sensor networks that allow remote monitoring control c...

As the global population and economy grow rapidly, demand for accessible freshwater sources also increases to meet rising consumption. However, this has resulted in several challenges, such as water crisis, drought, scarcity of resources. To address issue, many farmers worldwide rely on traditional irrigation systems despite their high Therefore, there is a need improve usage efficacy irrigated...

to better understand the potential for improving biomass accumulation and radiation use efficiency (rUE) of winter wheat under deficit irrigation regimes, in 2006–2007 and 2007–2008, an experiment was conducted at the luancheng Experimental Station of Chinese academy of Science to study the effects of deficit irrigation regimes on the photosynthetic active radiation (Par), biomass accumulation,...

The aim of this in vitro study was to determine whether irrigation with apical negative pressure was more effective than traditional positive-pressure irrigation in eradicating Enterococcus faecalis from preshaped root canals. Fifty-four extracted mandibular molars were instrumented to produce either a non-tapered or tapered preparation, sterilized, inoculated with E. faecalis for 30 days, and ...

OBJECTIVES Budesonide nasal irrigation was introduced recently for postoperative management of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis. The safety and therapeutic effectiveness of this procedure is becoming accepted by many physicians. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of postoperative steroid irrigation in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis and asthma. METHODS This pros...

Objective: To assess the safety and efficacy of bladder irrigation for reducing the morbidity of bladder stones in patients with neurological lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD). Methods: From June 2012 to July 2013, patients with NLUTD were prospectively randomized and assigned to either a bladder irrigation group or a no bladder irrigation group. Bladder irrigations were performed twice a...
