Soil solution pH measurements using in-line chambers with tension lysimeters

Measurements of output factors using different ionization chambers and build up caps

Background: The aim of this work was to study the output factors for Linac using different ionization chambers and build up caps. Materials and Methods: Output factors were measured for open square fields (3 × 3 cm to 40 × 40 cm) defined by collimator jaws for 6 and 15 MV photon beams from a Varian Clinac 2100C accelerator were measured. The measurements in air were performed using Com...

Study #279: Characterizing Solute Movement in Coarse-textured, Leaching-vulnerable Soils with Zero-tension Column Lysimeters

Determining Soil Hydraulic Properties from Tension Infiltrometer Measurements: Fuzzy Regression

numerical instability can be problems. Therefore, the nonlinear least-squares regression method introduced Tension infiltrometer measurements have been used to measure by Logsdon and Jaynes (1993) has been widely used, steady-state infiltration rates at applied tensions. The measurements owing to its simplicity. They estimated saturated hycan be used to determined soil hydraulic properties thro...

Construction and Performance of Large Soil Core Lysimeters

This may cause an unrealistic soil moisture regime and may effect crop growth. A method was developed to obtain large undisturbed soil cores To more closely represent an uninterrupted soil coland instrument those cores to collect vadose zone leachate data under agricultural field conditions. Twenty undisturbed soil core lysimeters umn at the point of leachate collection, a vacuum extracwere con...

TEMPERATURE CORRECTION OF ARTERIAL BLOOD pH AND CO2 TENSION IN NEWBORN INFANTS: A NEW SOLUTION FOR AN OLD PROBLEM

The acid-base status and arterial blood gas change with temperature variation. To determine the changes in arterial pH and pC02, arterial blood samples of 50 neonates with different clinical conditions were examined at temperatures of 35 to 42°C with an increment of 0.5° C, which resulted in two nonlinear equations with perfect fit on data. The temperature correction factors of these equati...
