Flame weeding is an alternative method of weed control. Essentially, it a supplement to other physical and mechanical processes used in organic production. Weed control costs have large share the total cost crop This study aimed investigate hand hoeing’s cost-effectiveness, accompanied by inter-row cultivation flame applied maize production using two different machines determine economically be...

abstract   background: pseudoarthrosis of the tibia poses one of the most challenging treatment problems in all of orthopedics. the goal of the study was to assess the clinical outcome of intramedullary rod fixation in its treatment.   methods: the results of the management for nine patients with pseudoarthrosis of the tibia with im rod fixation were reviewed retrospectively between 1986 - 2006...

Background: Renal osteodystrophy (ROD) is a common bone and mineral metabolism disorder in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). This study aimed to determinate the frequency of the subtypes of ROD and evaluate the diagnostic value of biochemical as the well as radiographic markers for the diagnosis of ROD among hemodialysis patients in Golestan province of Iran.  Materials and Methods...

This paper deals with the measurement of AC corona inception voltage, Vincp, at the tip of a rod electrode using a hemispherically-capped rod-plane electrode configuration for various rod radii with a short air gap. Effects of atmospheric pressure and temperature variation on Vincp are investigated experimentally. An empirical equation for the field form factors of the hemispherically cappe...

Abstract— In this paper, input impedance of a vertical rod under lightning stroke is first computed by applying the method of moments (MoM) on the Maxwell’s equations. The circuit model is then achieved through applying modified vector fitting (MVF) on the computed input impedance. After then the equivalent circuit is again extracted for a few values of soil conductivity and rod radius. Finally...
