Infected abdominal aortic aneurysms are rare, but the symptoms are prone to become severe during the clinical course, and the prognosis is poor, with a high rate of rupture [1]. There are 2 objectives in the treatment of infected aortic aneurysms: prevention of aneurysm rup‐ ture and infection control. However, it is not easy to achieve both. No guideline has been established yet, and many issu...

BACKGROUND The main objective of this study was characterization of selected heavy metals concentrations (Lead, cadmium, copper, zinc, nickel and chromium) in groundwater used for ir-rigation in Tabriz City's countryside. METHODS After consulting with the experts of agriculture department and site survey, 38 irriga-tion water samples were taken from different farms (34 wells) without primary ...

8 The modernization of irrigation districts in Spain is based on the construction of 9 collective pressurized networks equipped with remote control systems. In this paper, a 10 simulation approach is used to explore the benefits of introducing a collective solid-set 11 irrigation control software. The controller works in combination with a district 12 management database, real time evapotranspi...

For resolving the problem of sprinkle repeated, overtaken and went beyond in irrigation, it is important to research the approach of irregular boundary area. The equation of range and flow for achieving the square and triangle spray were deduced. Pressure is proportional to range. Specific method of changing the sectional area was put forward for achieving square and triangle spray. Adopted MAT...

C ONSERVATIVE management of anuria has in many instances prolonged life.― This involves the correction of water and electrolyte deficits and the utilization of the protein-sparing effects of glucose to decrease the rate of tissue catabolism. These measures attempt to preserve the integrity of the body fluids, thus retarding the accumu@ lation of toxic substances, i.e., potassium, and reducing...

J. Econ. Enlomol. 72: 599-601 (1979) Time of tuber infestation by Phthorimaea operculeLla (Zeller) was markedly affected by the type of irrigation system employed. Tuber infestation under furrow irrigation was above 25% for 4 wk prior to vine senescence while sprinkler irrigated potatoes sustained less than 5% damage during this period. After irrigation was terminated, infestation increased rap...

Phenamiphos, ethoprop, and carbofuran each at 6.7 kg a.i./ha were applied to squash, southern pea, and corn via injection into a sprinkler irrigation system. This method was then compared with a conventional application of phenamiphos and ethoprop granules spread on the soil surface and incorporated into the top 15 cm for control of Macroposthonia ornata and Meloidogyne incognita. Nematode popu...

Future wireless communication environments offer many possibilities for new services. Users will not be satisfied with simply being connected, but they will require useful services built on top of the wireless networks. iClouds is an architecture which offers spontaneous mobile user interaction, collaboration, and transparent data exchange in mobile ad hoc networks. In this paper we present sev...

In this paper, a Fast Fuzzy processor (FP) is proposed. This processor, which is implemented using FPGA, has four inputs and one output with 8-bits width for each. The proposed processor is synthesized, functionally verified and implemented using Xilinx Integrated Software Environment (ISE) and is tested using Xilinx Spartan 3E starter kit. A PC Graphical User Interface (GUI) is programmed usin...

Sprinkler cooling is a common heat abatement method in dairy cows and uses huge quantities of groundwater. flow rate timing affect cow water use efficiency, but little known about how these strategies may influence performance under stress conditions Pakistan. The objective this study was to evaluate the efficiency different sprinkler cycles rates Holstein Friesian semi-arid summer Thirty (30) ...
