Investigation of different irrigation methods on plants is necessary due to limited water resources and the increasing need for food products. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of sprinkler and drip irrigation systems and hormones on morphological and physiological characteristics of potato. Treatments included sprinkler and drip irrigation systems and hormones (gibbere...

OBJECTIVES To quantify the incidence of intranasal extension of adenoid tissue and residual adenoidal obstruction of the posterior choanae following traditional curette adenoidectomy to determine the efficiency of adenoid curettage and the usefulness of intraoperative endoscopic examination and powered-shaver adenoidectomy in achieving better postnasal patency. DESIGN Prospective intraoperati...

Intravenous drip infusion is a common method of administering medication. However, it is difficult for a nurse to continuously monitor the administration since it can take more than one hour. It is difficult to instantly detect problems such as removal of a drip infusion administration set by a patient or an empty bag. We propose an intravenous drip infusion monitoring system equipped with body...

Use of drip, or trickle, irrigation in agriculture has increased rapidly during the past 20 years. In 1970 approximately 50,000 ha in the United States were under drip irrigation, by 1985 the area had increased to over 300,000 ha (6). Irrigation has been used to deliver fertilizers and pesticides (8,9,14,18,27,28), and there are increasing numbers of studies on the application of nematicidal co...

current study was carried out with aim to evaluate the effect of pressurized irrigation methods and furrow irrigation method with municipal effluent on distribution of salinity and moisture in the soil profile. the experimental study was designed by split plot layout with three irrigation methods including furrow, surface drip (sd) irrigation and subsurface drip irrigation (ssd) and two water q...

Most of the NIR spectrometers available are not suited for on line measurements in slaughterhouses. The aim of the study was to test the ability of a device dedicated to industrial measurement (NitFom, Frontmatec) for prediction of drip loss and ultimate pH. A calibration model fitting was satisfactory (drip loss, R2=0.59 and pHu, R2=0.70) and the prediction accuracy levels for drip loss were s...

ion and Integration For the Nominal Modeling Case in the TSPA analysis, DOE implemented the model abstractionfor general corrosion of the drip shield in the Waste Package and Drip Shield DegradationSubmodel, as described in SNL (2008ag, Section 6.3.5.1), in which the drip shields weredistributed in the five percolation subregions. The Waste Package and Drip Shield DegradationSub...
