Generally, crop in a greenhouse environment is extremely sensitive and responds negatively to even the slightest of climatic changes. As such, an automated system of irrigation is ideal. Deployed effectively, intelligent wireless sensors can efficiently control the environment and irrigate as necessary. Smart wireless sensors provide an avenue to dynamically control the environment with little ...

INTRODUCTION Occasionally, urologists may see patients requiring temporary bladder irrigation at hospitals without stocks of specialist irrigation apparatus. One option is to transfer the patient to a urology ward, but often there are outstanding medical issues that require continued specialist input.
