PURPOSE To evaluate the nasolacrimal duct reconstitution with radio frequency for restoration of lacrimal flow in cases of nasolacrimal duct obstruction. METHODS The procedure was carried out in 16 eyes of 16 patients (13 women and 3 men) by the same surgeon, with monopolar high-frequency device at 450 kHz and 150 W, with local anesthesia under sedation. Inclusion criteria were lower lacrimal...

This paper presents the need, value, and concept of flexible irrigation water supply systems that can deliver water with flexibility in frequency, rate, and duration under the control of the farmer at the point of application using a limited rate arranged-demand or other schedule. It introduces the needed terminology including "congestion"-how much reserve time and capacity is required to assur...

abstract     evapotranspiration and plant water absorption reduce when exposed to water stress and this reduction results in an increase in leaf temperature. to determine the effect of water stress on leaf temperature and timing of irrigation using leaf temperature, a research was conducted on the research and education greenhouse production center of islamic azad university, isfahan branch (kh...

the aim of the present study was the conducting of comparative analysis of allele pool of ukrainian population of thoroughbred horses and the populations from england, usa, russia and south korea using microsatellite loci of dna on the basis of our own researches and literary sources. comparative analysis of allele pool of thoroughbred populations from different countries was conducted using 6 ...

bilingual dictionary use in l2 writing test performance has recently been the subject of debate. opinions differ according to how the trait is understood and whether the system favors the process-oriented or product-oriented views towards the assessment and writing skill. given the need for more empirical support, this study is aimed at investigating the availability of bilingual dictionary use...

Turfgrass évapotranspiration. R. Tovey, J. S. Spencer and D. C. • Muckel. 1969. Agronomy Journal. 61:863-867. (from the University of Nevada, Reno, Ne v. 89507). The lysimeter technique was utilized to measure the rate of évapotranspi ra t ion from two types of turf grown on two different soil textures. The two types of turfgrass were (a) a cool season turf composed primarily of Kentucky bluegr...

A simulation model was developed to estimate the effect of deficit irrigation upon crop yield. The model was designed to provide relative yield estimates for numerous combinations of irrigation system, crop growth and irrigation management parameters. A daily soil moisture balance was used to predict evaporation and transpiration from which crop yields were estimated. Gross irrigation water req...
