Automatic irrigation systems usually conveniently protect landscape investment. While conventional irrigation systems are known to be inefficient, automated ones have the potential to optimize water usage. In fact, there is a new generation of irrigation systems that are smart in the sense that they monitor the weather, soil conditions, evaporation and plant water use, and automatically adjust ...

Background: Wound healing process includes complex phases. Many studies have highlighted the importance of sterile wound washing in the healing process. Non-sterile wound cleansing could delay its healing and result in heavy costs for the health system. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and applicability of a new designed device, Safe Irrigator Syringe, in wound w...

salinity stress results to decreasing leaf area index (lai) and light absorption in plant leading in yield decrease. in order to study effect of salinity and iron sulphate on lai, absorbed light percentage and yield of sunflower (euroflor cultivar), an experiment was carried out as split plot based on complete randomized block design with four replications in the research field of university of...

in order to study effect of irrigation with wastewater and foliar application of complete fertilizer on forage yield and seed yield and yield components of foxtail millet (setaria italica). a split plot experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted at the agriculture institute of zabol university in year 2009. treatments included three levels of irri...

emergency departments (eds) are the most challenging ward with respect to patient delay. the goal of this study is to present strategies that have proven to reduce delay and overcrowding in eds. in this review article, initial electronic database search resulted in a total of 1006 articles. thirty articles were included after reviewing full texts. inclusion criteria were assessments of real pat...

CooD, the minor subunit of CS1 pili of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli, is essential for the assembly of stable, functional pili. We previously proposed that CooD is a rate-limiting initiator of CS1 pilus assembly and predicted that the level of CooD expression should therefore determine the number of CS1 pili assembled on the cell surface. In this study, we confirm that CooD is required for t...

BACKGROUND: Nutrients play a very important role in chemical, biochemical, physiological, metabolic, geochemical, biogeochemical, and enzymatic processes. Innovations for saving water in irrigated agriculture and thereby improving water use efficiency are of paramount importance in water-scarce regions. Conventional deficit irrigation is one approach that can reduce water use w...
