soil hydraulic properties such as soil water characteristic curve are necessary prerequisite for modeling water movement and solute transport. direct methods of estimating these hydraulic properties are time consuming and costly. indirect methods, such as pedotransfer functions, estimate the hydraulic parameters using easy-to-measure soil properties like particle size distributions, bulk densit...

We design and fabricate a 320 nm slot for an electro-optic (E-O) polymer infiltrated silicon photonic crystal waveguide. Because of the large slot width, the poling efficiency of the infiltrated E-O polymer (AJCKL1/amorphous polycarbonate) is significantly improved. When coupled with the slow light effect from the silicon photonic crystal waveguide, an effective in-device r(33) of 735 pm/V, whi...

nowadays protecting land cover, quality and quantity of water resources are important. surface runoff is one of most important reasons of soil erosion which causes sediment in reservoirs and reduction of land’s fertility and also quality reduction water of rivers. so the main issue is exact prediction of basin runoff to raining events. the hydrologic models are simplified models of real hydrolo...

this experiment aimed to determine evapotranspiration, and responses of some yield and quality parameters of subsurface drip irrigated broccoli (brassica oleraceae l.). treatments included water application when available soil moistures were depleted 30, 40, and 50% during both spring and autumn cultivations. under a semi-arid climatic condition of tokat, turkey, the experiment was carried out ...

This study aims to inspect and evaluate the integration of database queries and their use in e-commerce product searches. It has been observed that e-commerce is one of the most prominent trends, which have been emerged in the business world, for the past decade. E-commerce has gained tremendous popularity, as it offers higher flexibility, cost efficiency, effectiveness, and convenience, to bot...
