evaluating drainage systems, exploring their strengths and weaknesses, provides a comprehensive perspective to designers and organizers for optimum design and implementation of guidelines for the future. this study was conducted at an experimental site consisting of three plots on a subsurface drainage network under operation in behshahr, a coastal region in northern iran. to evaluate system pe...

abstract although lateral drains play the main role in removal of excess water from soil profile in subsurface drainage systems, but it is assumed that perforated collectors can directly remove a part of drainwater from soils. this part of discharge in subsurface drains is not usually taken into consideration in drainage design criteria, due to lack required information and its difficult estima...

Electric distribution grids are seeing an increased penetration of photovoltaic (PV) generation. High PV generation exceeding the grid load demand results in a reverse active power flow grid, which raises voltage level. This paper presents reactive controller to overcome overvoltage problem system. A sequentially coordinated and cooperative volt/var control technique is presented. The proposed ...

to study the effect of planting pattern and water quantity on potato yields under drip irrigation, this research was conducted using a split plot based on a randomized complete block design with four replications in three regions (mashhad, ardebil and damavand, iran) during 2003-2004. nine treatments were used. the main-plots were three levels of irrigation: 100%(i1), 80%(i2), and 60%(i3) of cr...

Transformed roots of the susceptible potato Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Desiree were inoculated with second-stage juveniles (J2) of Globodera rostochiensis pathotype Rol. Adult males emerged after 3-4 weeks and matings with females occurred. After 8 weeks gentle pressure on the eggs of maturing females released the J2 which were viable. Because this technique enables the production of vigorously g...
