Annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.) turf quality is reduced during periods of high temperature. To predict heat stress injury and develop improved prestress maintenance practices, an understanding of the seasonal variation in annual bluegrass heat tolerance and the influence of soil moisture on heat tolerance is crucial. Annual bluegrass growing in the field on a Drummer silty clay loam (fine silty...

introduction roselle (hibiscus sabdariffa l.) as a medicinal plant belongs to the malvacea family. their active ingredient increases under water stress. humic acid bacteria derived from humus and other natural resources have hormonal effects and can improve nutrient absorption to enhance performance especially under stress conditions . materials and methods this experiment was conducted in the ...

Crop production is a process of multiple inputs (water and nutrients, etc.), and the relationships between the inputs and crop yield are very complex. This study used a model for data envelopment analysis (DEA) to evaluate the efficiency of irrigation-fertilization schemes for winter wheat in North China. The field experiments were conducted at the Xiaohe Irrigation Experiment Station in Centra...

Although the term precision irrigation is now quite widely used, often to mean drip irrigation, there is no commonly accepted definition or conceptualisation of the term, and no cohesive framework to guide research, development or adoption. This paper is reporting on a review of precision irrigation funded by NPSI. This review is considering the role of current irrigation application technologi...

12. Let ax + by = 0, a, b ∈ R and a + b 6= 0 be a fixed line in R through the origin. We know u = ( −b √ a2+b2 , a √ a2+b2 ) is a point on line ax + by = 0 and v = ( a √ a2+b2 , b √ a2+b2 ) is a unit vector orthogonal to ( −b √ a2+b2 , a √ a2+b2 ). Thus the set B = {( −b √ a2+b2 , a √ a2+b2 ), ( a √ a2+b2 , b √ a2+b2 )} is an orthonormal basis for R. To find the reflection T (x, y) of (x, y) wi...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to compare the efficiency of a sonic device (Vibringe), syringe irrigation, and passive ultrasonic irrigation in the removal of debris from simulated root canal irregularities. METHODS Root canals with 2 standardized grooves in the apical and coronal parts were filled with dentin debris. Three different irrigation procedures were performed with NaOCl (1%...

Background This study was undertaken to investigate the efficiency of two different embryo somatic cell co-culture conditions tissue culture medium 199 (TCM199)–vero cells and Menezo B2 (B2)-vero cells for the in vitro developmental quantity and quality of bovine embryos. MaterialsAndMethods Bovine oocytes were allowed to mature and subsequently undergo fertilization in vitro. Their presumptive...

BACKGROUND The need for reoperation or wound infection treatments between pulsatile and gravity irrigation are statistically equivalent, however, it is unclear which method maximizes operative efficiency and expeditious irrigation. In this study we set out to determine the differences in irrigation rate between these various treatment methods. METHODS This was an ex-vivo experimental laborato...
