OBJECTIVE To compare the ability to eliminate debris and open dentinal tubules of different ultrasound irrigation procedures. STUDY DESIGN Forty extracted single-rooted human teeth were instrumented with mechanical rotatory instrumentation, and divided into four groups: (n=10) according to the final irrigation technique: group A (control), 2.5% NaOCl irrigation with the Miraject needle and no...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to compare the debridement efficacy of EndoVac irrigation versus conventional needle irrigation in vivo. METHODS Seven adult patients with a total of 22 matched pairs of single-canaled vital teeth with fully formed apices were recruited. Canals were instrumented to a master apical file size #40/.04 taper. One tooth from each matched pair was irrigate...

Results of a field study carried out at Trinitapoli (Puglia region, southern Italy) on the irrigation of an artichoke crop with three types of water (secondary-treated wastewater, SW; tertiary-treated wastewater, TW; and freshwater, FW) are reported. Physical, chemical and microbiological analyses were performed on the irrigation water, and on soil and yield samples. The levels of most of the c...

Suppose that we are given two independent sets I0 and Ir of a graph such that |I0| = |Ir|, and imagine that a token is placed on each vertex in I0. Then, the token jumping problem is to determine whether there exists a sequence of independent sets which transforms I0 into Ir so that each independent set in the sequence results from the previous one by moving exactly one token to another vertex....

Let p be an odd prime with 2-adic expansion ∑k i=0 pi · 2 . For a sequence a = (a(t))t≥0 over Fp, each a(t) belongs to {0, 1, . . . , p − 1} and has a unique 2-adic expansion a(t) = a0(t) + a1(t) · 2 + · · ·+ ak(t) · 2 , with ai(t) ∈ {0, 1}. Let ai denote the binary sequence (ai(t))t≥0 for 0 ≤ i ≤ k. Assume i0 is the smallest index i such that pi = 0 and a and b are two different m-sequences ge...

The Complete fluidic sprinkler was originally created by China. Irrigation uniformity in no-wind conditions was studied in this paper. Radial water distribution for complete fluidic sprinkler type 10 was got by experiment. MATLAB was used to establish computation program to change the radial data into net data. Three-dimensional water distribution figures for single sprinkler and combined sprin...

Saline nasal irrigation is an adjunctive therapy for upper respiratory conditions that bathes the nasal cavity with spray or liquid saline. Nasal irrigation with liquid saline is used to manage symptoms associated with chronic rhinosinusitis. Less conclusive evidence supports the use of spray and liquid saline nasal irrigation to manage symptoms of mild to moderate allergic rhinitis and acute u...

A two-year field experiment was conducted at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Jessore during the rabi seasons of 2002—2003 and 2003-2004 to find out the level of disease incidence under different levels of irrigation and fungicide spray on the bulb yield of onion. Four irrigation levels: no irrigation (I1), irrigation at 10 days interval (I2), 20 days interval (I3), and 30 days interval ...

PURPOSE Denitrification is an important biochemical process in global nitrogen cycle, with a potent greenhouse gas product N(2)O. Wastewater irrigation can result in the changes of soil properties and microbial communities of agricultural soils. The purpose of this study was to examine how the soil denitrification genes responded to different irrigation regimes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Soil sam...
