A laboratory soil column experiment was first conducted to analyze water movement in latosol of sugarcane field under drip irrigation from single-point source at different emitter discharge rates. Next, a mathematical model of soil water movement under drip irrigation from single-point source was built using Hydrus-3D, which could accurately simulate the shape of the wetted soil volume and the ...

Irrigation in the Mediterranean is of vital importance for food security, employment and economic development. This study systematically assesses how climate change and increases in atmospheric CO2 concentrations may affect irrigation requirements in the Mediterranean region by 2080–2090. Future demographic change and technological improvements in irrigation systems are taken into account, as i...

Let G be a graph, u be a vertex of G, and B(u)(or BG(u)) be the set of u with all its neighbors in G. A sequence (B1, B2, ..., Bn) of subsets of an n-set S is a neighborhood sequence if there exists a graph G with a vertex set S and a permutation (v1, v2, ..., vn) of S such that B(vi) = Bi for i = 1, 2, ..., n. Define Aut(B1, B2, ..., Bn) as the set {f : f is a permutation of V (G) and (f(B1), ...

Irrigation systems are as old as man itself since agriculture is the foremost occupation of civilized humanity. To irrigate large areas of plants is an onerous job. In order to overcome this problem many irrigation scheduling techniques have been developed which are mainly based on monitoring the soil, crop and weather conditions. Irrigation scheduling engrosses when to irrigate and how much wa...

Irrigation underpins agricultural productivity. The purpose of irrigation is to match water supply to crop water demand. The effectiveness of irrigation depends on the quality of the timing and duration of watering events, also called irrigation scheduling. Most farmers use heuristic rules to determine irrigation events. This often leads to over-watering which results in lower crop yields and w...

AIM To compare the efficacy of photon-induced photoacoustic streaming (PIPS) technique with conventional, sonic and ultrasonic irrigation on the removal of apically placed dentinal debris from an artificial groove created in a root canal. METHODOLOGY Root canal preparation was performed up to size 40 on 48 extracted single-rooted teeth using ProTaper rotary instruments. The specimens were the...

The effects of cultivar mixture cropping on yield, biomass, and water use efficiency (WUE) in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) were investigated under non-irrigation (W0, no irrigation during growth stage), one time irrigation (W1, irrigation applied at stem elongation) and two times irrigation (W2, irrigation applied at stem elongation and anthesis) conditions. Nearly 90% of cultivar mixtur...
