abstract the main objective of this paper is to apply the canalman model in the performance assessing of different water operational scenarios in the west main canal of dez irrigation network. the proposed model was calibrated and validated based on the real data of march and april 2006. the real water operational condition during five months (may to september 2006) was simulated. for this peri...

background & aim: warm water immersion during labor is associated with relaxation and pain reduction for pregnant women. this method is not extensively used in iran, given the fear of infection and other maternal/neonatal complications. alternative methods are required to increase the safety of normal vaginal delivery. the purpose of this study was to compare maternal and neonatal outcomes, ass...

Introduction: Although warm water is used for labor pain reduction, there is controversy regarding the potential complications of water birth. Therefore, this study was performed to evaluate fetal and neonatal complications of water birth versus those observed in conventional modes of delivery. Methods:This clinical randomized trial was performed on 200 pregnant women at Mashhad Omolbanin Hosp...

background central dialysate fluid delivery systems (cdds) are used by dialysis centers in japan, and although these systems are effective at delivering dialysate, they have a complex piping network with numerous sites where contamination can develop. in japan, cleaning disinfectants have been clinically evaluated based on endotoxin levels and bacterial counts, but there have been no published ...

OBJECTIVE To compare quantitative measures and clinical assessments of behavior as an indication of psychologic well-being of stabled horses provided drinking water continuously or via 1 of 3 intermittent delivery systems. ANIMALS 22 Quarter Horse (QH) or QH-crossbred mares and 17 Belgian or Belgian-crossbred mares (study 1) and 24 QH or QH-crossbred mares and 18 Belgian or Belgian-crossbred ...

The improvement of irrigation systems in the Nile Delta is one of the most important attempts in Egypt to implement more effective irrigation technology by improving the existing irrigation networks. Demand delivery system in the existing irrigation network is using of mechanical gates structures to automatically divert water from one portion of an agricultural field to another in the desired a...

OBJECTIVES We reviewed 1600 water births at a single institution over an 8-year period. METHODS We compared 737 primiparae deliveries in water with 407 primiparae deliveries in bed, and 142 primiparae on the delivery stool. We also evaluated the duration of labor, perineal trauma, arterial cord blood pH, postpartum maternal hemoglobin levels, and rates of neonatal infection. In 250 water deli...
