The fruiting branches of Colutea cilicica Boiss. & Bal., along with leaves and fruits, have been used to heal inflammatory wounds at traditional medicine in various parts of Turkey. In order to evaluate the wound healing activity of the plant, aqueous extracts were prepared from the flowering parts and fruits of Colutea cilicica Boiss. & Bal. by using 40°C distilled water. Incision wound healin...

Photochemical tissue bonding (PTB) is a sutureless technique for tissue repair, which is achieved by applying a solution of rose bengal (RB) between two tissue edges(1,2). These are then irradiated by a laser that is selectively absorbed by the RB. The resulting photochemical reactions supposedly crosslink the collagen fibers in the tissue with minimal heat production(3). In this report, RB has...

[1] We conducted a detailed study of subsurface flow and water table response coupled with digital terrain analysis (DTA) of surface and subsurface features at the hillslope scale in Panola Mountain Research Watershed (PMRW), Georgia. Subsurface storm flow contributions of macropore and matrix flow in different sections along an artificial trench face were highly variable in terms of timing, pe...

Transportation of fly ash is a major problem in its efficient disposal. The main problem associated with fly ash transportation is that the particles settle down sooner than desired. The primary objective of this research is that not only the fly ash particles should remain floated till it reaches the end but also settle down after that. In this investigation the role of a drag-reducing cationi...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of the study was to determine the optimal number of throws to ensure knot security. STUDY DESIGN Knots were tied with 3, 4, 5, or 6 square throws with 0-gauge coated polyester, polydioxanone, polypropylene, and polyglactin 910. The suture was soaked in 0.9% sodium chloride and subsequently transferred to a tensiometer and broken. RESULTS A total of 225 knots were tied....

Presented in this report is a new model to evaluate corneal wound strength quantitatively by using an Instron 1125 tensiometer with video monitoring. Twenty-six rabbits received full thickness 8 mm central corneal incisions that were marked with sutures at each end and dressed with collagen shields. Animals were killed and corneas were harvested from 3-30 d postoperatively. Tensile test specime...

Water resource limits, missing a developed irrigation program and undesirable water quality are the basic parameters that affect agricultural development of Iran. This research focus on irrigation amount water and its duration in other to increase crop yield of potato on Hamadan-Bahar plain. To this regard, there potato farm located on different area of the plain were selected during agronomic ...

Exacerbating water and food insecurity in drylands urge the more efficient use of irrigation through volumetric pricing. The optimum depths can be determined using a combination numerical simulation, costs, weather forecasts. In this context, we evaluated effectiveness three simulation-based schemes to determine that maximize net income during each interval WASH_2D model, which simulates flow s...

The response of the shallow portion ground (vadose zone) and earth structures is affected by interaction with atmosphere. Very frequently, surface covered vegetation and, as a result, transpiration plays major role in ground–atmosphere​ interaction. soil plant form continuous hydraulic system that needs to be characterised model ‘boundary condition’ geotechnical water flow problem. Water takes ...

The proposed study aims in first part to discuss the structure and behavior of short-stretch cotton woven compression bandage (WCB), second production properties multifunctional WCB. includes an integrated tension sensor, which causes a change spacing colored threads during its deformation. motivation this research was investigate optimum techniques for therapy using modified construction WCB a...
