is considered endemic in hospitals and long-term care facilities, an ongoing debate exists about whether all identified cases of MRSA, particularly in asymptomatic individuals, should be treated. There is little disagreement, however, regarding the use of MRSA to treat symptomatic infections. Intermittent as well as continuous bladder irrigation utilizing various pharmacological agents has been...

In this study, the quality of a treated wastewater for agricultural and irrigation purposes was investigated. 39 quality parameters were investigated at the entrance of an effluent channel to the destination plain in monthly time intervals during a year. The aim of this study was drawing an analogy between analyses results and the latest standards in the world (nationwide and internationally), ...

Over the past few decades, the competition for freshwater resources has substantially increased in arid/semi-arid areas, exacerbating the pressure on the largest user of water, namely agriculture, to consume less water. However, reducing crop consumptive water use or evapotranspiration through water stress can have a negative impact on production economics if not precisely managed. Remote sensi...

Both developing and developed countries have problems with availability of water to increase agricultural productivity. The importance of improving water efficiency in agriculture has been the subject in many research papers. The usual approach to limit water consumption in agriculture at the district and farm level is to apply water quotas. These quotas may be either for the whole season or fo...

Conceptual Frame As a vital resource in agriculture, irrigation water contributes to many productive and livelihood activities. With the common belief on the important role of irrigation in agricultural growth, many developing Asian countries have promoted irrigation development over the last five decades to achieve such broad objectives as economic growth, rural and agricultural development, f...

Effects of kaolin applicati on were evaluated on water stress in pistachio cv. ‘Ohadi’. This experiment was conducted in one of research sites at the Pistachio Research Institute in Rafsanjan (Kerman province) in . The results show that individual and interaction effects of all treatments were significant on nutrition absorption in leaves, although there was not a steady effect on all the eleme...

One approach to enhance the disinfection of root canals in endodontic treatment is ultrasonic irrigation with sodium hypochlorite. Reactive oxygen species, such as hydroxyl radical, are generated by biological defense systems to kill invading bacteria. Ultrasonic irrigation with hydrogen peroxide may be a promising option to increase hydroxyl radical generation. We examined the bactericidal eff...
