Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery aims to provide a medication-sparing, conjunctival-sparing, ab interno approach to intraocular pressure reduction for patients with mild-to-moderate glaucoma that is safer than traditional incisional glaucoma surgery. The current approaches include: increasing trabecular outflow (Trabectome, iStent, Hydrus stent, gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy...

A study was carried out on the effectiveness of bioretention systems to abate stormwater using computer simulation. The hydrologic performance was simulated for two bioretention cells using HYDRUS-1D, and the simulation results were verified by field data of nearly four years. Using the validated model, the optimization of design parameters of rainfall return period, filter media depth and type...

This study evaluates the morphologic effect of the implantation of two different sizes of the Hydrus microstent on the outer wall of Schlemm's canal (SC) and collector channel (CC) ostia. Twelve human eyes were dissected at the equator removing the iris, lens, ciliary body and vitreous. The cornea was excised with a corneal trephine exposing a direct view of the angle while leaving the trabecul...

Choosing a suitable process-oriented eco-hydrological model is essential for obtaining reliable simulations of hydrological processes. Determining soil hydraulic and solute transport parameters another fundamental prerequisite. Research discussing the impact considering evaporation fractionation on parameter estimation practical applications isotope models limited. In this study, we analyzed re...

ABSTRACT-Application of models for simulation of solute and pollutants transport in soil can reduce time and costs for remediation process. HYDRUS-1D model was developed to simulate the one–dimensional flow of soil water, heat, solute and viruses in variably saturated–unsaturated porous media. The objective of this investigation is to determine the solute transport parameters in disturbed soil ...

Abstract Due to the high cost of large-scale measurement heavy metals, use statistical land models and techniques is one proper ways study their distribution level pollution. The area, agricultural lands south Tehran in Iran. Municipal wastewater often used for irrigation under surface method. To metals including copper, nickel, lead, ordinary kriging method GIS environment was used. In additio...

optimal use of water resources is essential to decrease cost and maximize available water resources. subsurface drip irrigation can increase irrigation and water use efficiency. this irrigation method distributes water into the soil, leaving the surface of the soil dry and decreasing evaporation. in the design of subsurface drip irrigation (sdi) systems, the dimensions of the wetted onion deter...
