abstract infiltration is one of the most important phenomena which is affected by the soil physical and hydraulic characteristics. measurement of infiltration needs the high cost and is time consuming, therefore estimation of infiltration is necessary. also, due to variability of soil moisture, it is important to determine the appropriate model for the estimating the infiltration rate. the pres...

Infiltration rate is one of the most important parameters used in irrigation water management. Direct measurement of infiltration process is laborious, time consuming and expensive. Therefore, in this study application of some indirect methods such as artificial neural networks (ANNs) for prediction of this phenomenon was investigated. Different ANNs structures including two training algorithms...

AIM Patients usually suffer significant pain after lumbar laminectomy. Wound infiltration with local anesthetics is a useful method for postoperative pain control. Our aim was to compare the efficacies of preemptive wound infiltration with bupivacaine and levobupivacaine. MATERIAL AND METHODS 60 patients were randomized three groups as follows: Group L wound infiltration with 20 mL 0.25% levo...

BACKGROUND Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block and local anaesthetic wound infiltration can provide effective pain relief at the wound site after surgery. However, the relative efficacy of two techniques for postoperative analgesia remains controversial. METHODS We searched PUBMED, EMBASE and CENTRAL databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing TAP block with wound infiltra...

Abstract Knowledge of soil infiltration characteristics is required increasingly for the proper design and efficient management irrigation. Various empirical physically based models have been used several years, but practical use many limited by parameter determination problems, which, in turn, are influenced factors acting at surface within soil, initial boundary conditions, etc. In this study...

[EN] Run-off management is the main challenge of every big city. Land availability, project timeframe, and financing are several issues regarding run-off implementation, including Indonesia’s Capital City, Jakarta. One engineering tools that used to reduce negative impacts in Jakarta Infiltration Well. Several researches on this topic confirm positive impact building infiltration well small cat...

PURPOSE We compared the effects of local levobupivacaine infiltration, intravenous paracetamol, intravenous lornoxicam treatments on postoperative analgesia in patients submitted to transperitoneal laparoscopic renal and adrenal surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty adult patients 26 and 70 years who underwent laparoscopic renal and adrenal surgery were randomized into three groups with 20 pat...

BACKGROUND Liposome bupivacaine is a novel formulation of the local anesthetic bupivacaine, designed to provide prolonged postsurgical analgesia. This analysis examined pooled efficacy data as reflected in cumulative pain scores from 10 randomized, double-blind liposome bupivacaine clinical studies in which the study drug was administered via local wound infiltration. METHODS A total of 823 p...

Soil depth tends to vary from a few centimeters to several meters, depending on many natural and environmental factors. We hypothesize that the cumulative effect of these factors on soil depth, which is chiefly dependent on the process of biogeochemical weathering, is particularly affected by soil porewater (i.e., solute) transport and infiltration from the land surface. Taking into account evi...

introduction: the infiltration process is one of the most important components of the hydrologic cycle. quantifying the infiltration water into soil is of great importance in watershed management. prediction of flooding, erosion and pollutant transport all depends on the rate of runoff which is directly affected by the rate of infiltration. quantification of infiltration water into soil is also...
