Second, we believe that to compare the two surgical techniques, there must be a certain consistency in the two study groups. The authors only indicate the age and sex distribution of both groups, however it is very important to know several things that make the series are not significantly homogeneous and therefore the results may be biased. It is important to know that the degree of clinical s...

An automated process for the delineation of drainage basins, using as input only the vector based drainage network, is described which provides an alternative to DEM based methods. The procedure involves an approximation of the line Voronoi diagram for the network using a constrained Delaunay triangulation of the network's Planar Straight Line Graph. The constrained triangulation, which include...

We posed six clinical questions (CQ) on preoperative biliary drainage and organized all pertinent evidence regarding these questions. CQ 1. Is preoperative biliary drainage necessary for patients with jaundice? The indications for preoperative drainage for jaundiced patients are changing greatly. Many reports state that, excluding conditions such as cholangitis and liver dysfunction, biliary dr...

due to the important role of subsurface drainage in managing the ground water level, there are many researches focused on finding a new and more economic way to develop subsurface drainage technologies. lack of proper drainage system in northern iran has caused huge implantation of rice and it is impossible to have second implantation in this region. one reason of insufficiency of current drain...

The research in the fields of irrigation and drainage network in the province Hamidieh to evaluate the performance of drainage was done in the land. For this purpose, three drainage server farm at intervals of 50, 70 and 80 meters in the area was selected. Blank observation on three drain pipes at intervals of 0.3,0.8,1.5,2.5 and 15 meters of lateral drains in the middle of the line in four row...

this report summarizes the results of 64 percutaneous catheter drainage of abdominal abscesses and fluid collections in 56 patients. aspiration and drainage was guided with computed tomography in 34 patients and with ultrasound in 30 patients. success rate was 90%. infected collections were successfully drained in 94% and noninfected collections in 72% . partial success was achieved in two pati...

this paper aims to assess the quality and accuracy aster dems and the arcgis alogorthms used for hydrologic analyses. to this end, first the plan of drainage networks in the region was extracted from aerial photographs and high resolution satellite images and was set as the real ground. in the next step, using the hydrology tool in arcgis software, raster networks of the region for the whole ca...

In agricultural lands, high nutrient levels of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are very important due to the high need of plants. By improving the nutrient content of sodium soils, the fertility and growth of the plants improve. Accordingly, in order to investigate the effect of underground drainage on soil quality in Khuzestan region, this experiment was carried out in a completely randomiz...
