introduction: citrus are one of the important orchard fruit production that after banana is second in production at the world level and every year, chemical fertilizers having most important role in increasing crops productions, but in long application of fertilizers cause soil destructions and polluting underground water. also soils of dry regions are very poor in organic matter level. nowaday...

In order to improve the anti-seepage performance of cover, this paper proposed use super absorbent polymer (SAP) particles water storage capacity soil, and mixed them into soil build an SAP composite but law movement in which is not clear. paper, a series column model tests were carried out measure changes pore pressure volume content cover at different depths. The results showed that under ext...

introduction water super absorbents are water absorbing natural or synthetic polymers (they may contain over 99% water). they have been defined as polymeric materials which exhibit the ability of swelling in water and retaining a significant fraction (> 20%) of water within their structure, without dissolving in water content. the applications of hydrogels are grown extensively. these materials...

Detection and quantification of pathogens in water is critical for the protection of human health and for drinking water safety and security. When the pathogen concentrations are low, large sample volumes (several liters) are needed to achieve reliable quantitative results. However, most microbial identification methods utilize relatively small sample volumes. As a consequence, a concentration ...

OBJECTIVE Trans-catheter aortic and pulmonary valve replacement procedures can result in favorable outcomes in selected patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the functioning of a novel self-expanding valved stent with super-absorbent polymer (SAP) for minimally invasive replacement of the tricuspid valve. METHODS A newly designed nitinol stent with SAP was specially designed for ...
