The movement of water into the soil under specific conditions is called infiltration. The study of infiltration is one of the most important necessities in irrigation and drainage engineering. Two popular infiltration models called Kostiakov and Modified Kostiakov, which are largely used in the fields, are considered for analysis. The problem is modeled as a least sum of squares of the differen...

A process is described which involves infiltration of aluminum nitrate into partially sintered (porous) zircon bodies. Infiltration kinetics were studied using infiltration curves with two distinct regions. The final infiltrated samples were sintered at 1600 °C for 2 h and yielded specimens containing the tetragonal zirconia.The experimental results show that in spite of the similar porosity of...

introduction: many patients suffer from mild, moderate or severe pain during or after root canal therapy. theoretically, post-operative pain control can be achieved by using long-acting local anesthetics. the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a long acting anesthesia, bupivacaine, on preventing post-operative pain associated with endodontic treatment, and to compare it with lido...

background: neutrophil infiltration plays an important role in inflammatory reactions following spinal cord injury (sci) and these cells cause substantial secondary tissue damage. the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of oleuropein (oe) on myeloperoxidase (mpo) activity as an index of neutrophil infiltration. methods: rats were randomly divided into four groups of 7 rats each as...

Separate sanitary sewer systems are designed to convey sewage waste from municipal areas to a central treatment facility; they are not designed to handle water associated with precipitation events. However, intercept of groundwater (infiltration) and of flows through manholes or unauthorized connections (inflows) introduces rainwater into the sanitary sewer system. Infiltration/Inflow (I/I) inc...

The present study was undertaken to investigate the toxic effects of higher doses (1,00,000 IU i.e. 2.5 mg/kg body weight (BW)) of vitamin D3, concomitantly with bacterial endotoxins (lipopolysaccharides: LPS) to study the immunomodulatory potential of vitamin D3 in IBL-80 broiler chicks. The chicks were divided into four groups [group I (NSS), group II (LPS), group III (Vit. D3 + NSS), and gro...

BACKGROUND/AIM Postoperative pain control constitutes a major problem and studies have focused on reducing opioid requirements using regional techniques. We aimed to investigate the efficacy of wound infiltration with lornoxicam on postoperative pain control following thyroidectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this prospective, randomized-controlled study, 80 patients scheduled for thyroidectomy...
