the electro discharge machining (edm), one of the methods used in the machining industry and a non-traditional manufacturing method, the electro erosion process does not depend on the hardness of material and offers a way to process materials of very complex geometry with very fine and high precision by using cheap electrode materials, which make it a preferred method. in this study, effect of ...

in the last twenty years, due to a number of natural and anthropogenic reasons, many water sources have become poorer in quality with respect to micropollutants. an example of a micropollutant that needs to be removed is the chlorophenoxypropionic herbicide mecoprop (mcpp). mcpp is one of the nine pesticides used as an indicator to monitor pesticide concentrations in rivers because it is freque...

the levels of 19 organochlorine pesticides (ocps) in surface water and under water sedimentsfrom tanks located nearby the prime agricultural areas of kanyakumari district, tamil nadu, india wereinvestigated to evaluate their pollution risks. a total of 36 surface water samples at 9 sampling sites and27 sediment samples at 9 sampling stations were collected from tanks, which were the water sourc...

this study was conducted with the aim of determining surface water contamination with cysts of entamoeba histolytica using pcr in rasht city, northern iran.in this cross-sectional study, 49 water samples including 18 rivers and 6 wetlands were collected from different regions near the city of rasht in autumn of 2012. after filtration using 0.22 μm nitrate cellulose membrane filters, the samples...

in recognition of the value and limitations of available water resources in agriculture and the occurrence of periodic drought in iran, water conservation and optimal usage of available water is essential. the main objective of this study was to optimize field water management and cropping patterns using deficit irrigation. the effect of reducing water consumption on different growth stages usi...

A long-term study of four degraded streams in the upper Owens River watershed documented the recovery of riparian habitats and significant improvement in channel morphology in response to grazing strategies, recreation management, and pre-irrigation peak flows. Increased control of livestock distribution, timing of forage use and degree of forage utilization on and near stream banks was designe...

A baseflow survey of 41 tributary creeks investigated the tiansport of alrazine, nilrate-nitrom chloride and sulfate in two 5,000 ha Jasper County, Iowa watersbeds. The waterskds comprise a long-tam paired shldy to evaluate the effects of largesale conversion of row nop to prairie in Walnut creek watershed compared to highly agricultural Squaw creek watershed. Discharge and chemical concentrati...

background: measurement of back ground concentration of uranium in drinking water is very important for many reasons, specially, for human health. the uranium concentration in drinking water in many counties is a matter of concern for clinical and radioactive poisoning. materials and methods: the uranium concentration in drinking water is determined using laser flourimatric uranium analyzer. fo...

some children of borazjan area have minute white flecks, yellow or brown spot areas scattered irregularly over the tooth surface, the causative factor was attributed to excess of fluoride in water. to verify this matter short chemical examination of water samples from endemic area was carried out. the results of water analysis by colorimetric method, using zirconium a1izarin reagent after disti...
