With a population of more than six billion people, food production from agriculture must be raised to meet increasing demand. While irrigated agriculture provides 40% of the total food production, it represents 80% of the freshwater consumption worldwide. In summer and drought conditions, efficient management of scarce water resources becomes crucial. The majority of irrigation canals are manag...

1. The efficacy of whole bowel irrigation with a solution containing either polyethylene glycol (PEG) with electrolyte or an adsorbent (Kayexalate with a cathartic (sorbitol) was investigated in 18 dogs who had been given 250 mg kg-1 paraquat dichloride via a jejunal tube to eliminate the influence of gastric absorption. 2. Plasma paraquat concentrations 2 and 3 h after the initiation of bowel ...

From April 1912 to March 1914 I performed 240 cataract extractions at the Sambhu Xath Pundit Hospital, Calcutta. In the first 140 cases, the operation was performed in the usual way. any residual soft matter or capsule being removed as far as possible with the scoop. The results though fair were not as good as they might have been, and a considerable percentage required secondary needling. Unfo...

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficiency of two irrigating techniques - static and dynamic (passive ultrasonic instrumentation) irrigation in the elimination of bacterial biofilm. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty extracted human permanent maxillary central incisors teeth with straight roots and single canals, were randomly allocated to two groups for static irrigation...

BACKGROUND Electrode cooling by circulating fluid within the electrode (closed loop) or open irrigation facilitates radiofrequency (RF) ablation. This study compared lesion parameters between closed loop and open irrigation with the use of a canine model. METHODS AND RESULTS In 8 anesthetized dogs, the skin over the thigh muscle was incised and raised, forming a cradle superfused with heparin...

this study was conducted to analyze the effect of zeolite application on yield and yield components of rapeseed under drought conditions as a factorial-split on the based of randomized complete block design with four replications in 2011-12 in the research field of seed and plant improvement institute, karaj. the effects of zeolite levels z0 (0) and z10 (10 t/ha) under three drought stress leve...

abstract to evaluate the effects of the irrigation termination in different growth stages on yield and its components of autumn’s canola cultivars in isfahan region. an experiment was conducted in 2005-2006 in kabotar abad research station. a split plot layout within a randomized complete block design with tree replication was used. main plots were seven level of the irrigation cut-off time (d1...

An experiment was conducted to study the effects of different soil water potential (SWP) on soil water content, hot pepper’s yield, water consumption and water use efficiency (WUE) under plastic-mulched drip irrigation in the North-West China in order to find a suitable SWP to guide the pepper irrigation. Five treatments were set based on SWP, they were -10kPa (N1), -20kPa (N2), -30kPa (N3), -4...

Frequency of irrigation to the crops is the key factor for proper growth and economic yield. Therefore, in the current study growth of broccoli plants was investigated under different irrigation levels in pot culture condition. Five levels of irrigation schedules were applied including I0 [Non-irrigation control], I1 [Irrigation up to 15 days after transplanting (DAT)], I2 [Irrigation up to 30 ...
