Many semiarid and arid soils are prone to irrigation-induced erosion. Polyacrylamide (PAM) greatly reduces erosion from furrow irrigation. We hypothesized that PAM applied via sprinklers will provide erosion control and benefit water infiltration and aggregate stability. Screened (6.4 mm) Rad silt loam (coarse silty, mixed, superactive mesic Durinodic Xeric Haplocambid) was placed in 1.5 by 1.2...

OBJECTIVE This in vitro study assessed the anti-erosive effect of experimental mouthrinses containing TiF4 and NaF on dentin erosive loss. MATERIAL AND METHODS Bovine dentin specimens were randomly allocated into the groups (n=15): (1) SnCl2/NaF/AmF (Erosion Protection/GABA, pH 4.5, positive control); (2) experimental solution with 0.0815% TiF4(pH 2.5); (3) 0.105% NaF (pH 4.5); 4) 0.042% NaF+...

The installation of solar parks requires extensive areas and results in soil erosion many cases. One suitable solution is applying lime to improve characteristics, such as mechanical strength, stability, workability, durability, internal surface resistance. This treatment particular importance when dealing with hydraulic structures conceived the park drainage systems. erodibility tests were per...

BACKGROUND Survival bias is the phenomenon by which individuals are excluded from analysis of a trait because of mortality related to the expression of that trait. In genetic association studies, variants increasing risk for disease onset as well as risk of disease-related mortality (lethality) could be difficult to detect in genetic association case-control designs, possibly leading to underes...

An online database was designed and developed as an Iowa Highway Research Board project by the authors. Our database is intended for identifying and evaluating effective erosion and sedimentation control measures (ESCMs) for use in roadway construction throughout Iowa and elsewhere in the Midwest. The ESCM database is an efficient practical resource to aid state, county, and municipal engineers...

BACKGROUND Fluoride toothpastes presumably offer some protection against acid erosion. However, uncertainty exists towards fluoride's efficacy relatively to the concentration and the type of chemical compound used. This in vitro study evaluated the relative efficacy of toothpastes containing sodium fluoride in different concentrations or a stabilized stannous fluoride/sodium fluoride system on ...
