Introduction: Vasectomy is the safest and most reliable method of all the contraception methods, but azoospermia is not achieved immediately by this method. We decided to determine whether irrigation of the vas deferens with sterile water or hypertonic saline solution irrigation during vasectomy would reduce the time needed to obtain azoospermia. Materials and Methods: A total of 126 fertile me...

The Athel tree, Tamarix aphylla (L), can potentially be used as a biomass crop to help manage saline subsurface drainage water in arid land irrigated agriculture. In this study, Athel wood was used to manufacture medium-density particleboard with an aim of developing new applications for the saline wood. The research investigated the effects of different types of adhesives, particle sizes, bark...

drain envelopes play significant roles in the performance of drainage systems due to theirreduction in letting sediments into the drainpipes and also because of an increase in thehydraulic conductivity of soil around the drainpipes. throughout the present research, theeffect of a one 1000 hour flow on dual envelopes consisting of geotextile as a means ofimproving the hydraulic gradient and rice...

Saline water resources are abundant in the coastal areas of south China. Most of these resources still have not been effectively utilized. A 3-year study on the effects of saline water irrigation on tomato yield, quality and blossom-end rot (BER) was conducted at different lower limits of soil matric potential (-10 kPa, -20 kPa, -30 kPa, -40 kPa and -50 kPa). Saline water differing in electrica...
