the photocatalytic decomposition of trichloroethylene (tce) and tetrachloroethylene (pce)in water was studied. tce and pce were present in water at very low concentrations of about 15 μg/dm3. thisconcentration level corresponds to the one occasionally occurring in groundwater. results of this researchconfirmed usefulness of the photocatalytic process for successful removal of low-concentrated t...

background: acute low back pain is one of the most prevalent diseases which more than 90% of the adults experience at least once during lifetime. the present study was conducted to determine the efficacy of duration of hot water bag usageon pain relief in in the patients with acute low back pain. methods: this clinical trial study was conducted on 20- to 50-year-old patients referring orthopedi...

continuing agricultural expansion and urban development in saudi arabia, (located in an arid climate), together with an increased demands for more water supplies, calls for more efficient irrigation practices, and an increase in crop water productivity (cwp). throughout the present study, a deficit irrigation system was investigated for its impact on soil salinity, crop response factor (ky), cw...

abstract germination and emergence of cold tolerant lentil genotypes sometimes experiences low temperatures and variable rainfalls in the fall planting. this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of drought stress on germination stage of lentil genotypes. experiment was carried out with 18 lentil genotypes under five levels of water potential (0 , -0.4 , -0.8 , -1.2 , -1.6 mpa) using peg ...

various researches on laboratory and field scale illustrate that manipulating the ionic composition and the ion concentration of injected water can affect the efficiency of water flooding and the interaction of injected water with rock and other fluids present in porous media. the objectives of this paper are to investigate parameters that affect low salinity water flooding; mainly the effect o...

adsorption is a fundamental process in the physicochemical treatment of wastewaters which industries employ to reduce hazardous organic and inorganic wastes in effluents. in recent years the use of low-cost adsorbents has been widely investigated as a replacement for the currently costly methods of removing heavy metal ions from wastewater. it is well-known that cellulosic waste materials can b...
