The major objective is to determine an optimal fertilizer application scheme for an irrigated agricultural system. Such a scheme would not degrade the quality of the environment, and yet would maintain a profitable level of crop production. This study is explicitly related to the cultivation of irrigated maize, a major crop in the area. The various terms of the water balance (consumption, drainage, soil storage) and of the nitrogen cycle (mineralization, plant uptake, leaching) were obtained from intensive monitoring in the upper layer of the 0.8 m of soil which corresponds to the root zone of the crop. This entailed the combined use of a neutron moisture meter, tensiometers and soil suction cups. To determine the specific effects of fertilization and crop growth, there were different treatments. These corresponded to a traditional fertilizer application of 260 kg N ha -1, no fertilization, and bare soil. carried out within an area of approximately 2 ha. Several sites were instrumented on each treatment, one of them being specifically for the application and the monitoring of 15N-tagged fertilizer.

It is indeed clear that the position of the water table, when considering the hydrodynamics of free surface aquifers, must be controlled by the flow occuring in the unsaturated zone (evaporation, recharge, etc…).A system of two differential equations—each one related

The gene possesses an open reading frame for 297 amino acids (mass of 33,471 Da). The protein has a motif for DNA-binding (helix-turn-helix) and has homology to a diverse set of prokaryotic regulatory proteins, known as the LysR family. The protein, previously referred to as the 33-kDa protein, has been named IciA (for inhibitor of chromosome initiation). The iciA gene is at 62.8 min on the chromosomal map. Cells with enhanced levels of the protein grow at a normal rate but generally exhibit a pronounced lag upon transfer to a fresh medium.

All of the 11 documented cases occurred in association with abnormalities leading to chronic irritation and/or infection. In the three cases where the reported period of observation exceeded 2 years, all patients developed carcinoma. Despite its innocuous histology, widespread intestinal metaplasia apparently identifies a disturbed urothelium at high risk for cancer.

From 1975 to 2002 a total of 42 VAA in 34 patients were treated. The lesion involved the splenic artery (SA; 19), pancreaticoduodenal artery (PDA; 6), celiac trunk (CT; 5), superior mesenteric artery (SNA; 4), common hepatic artery (CHA; 3), gastroduodenal artery (GDA; 2), left hepatic artery (LHA; 1), a branch of the inferior mesenteric artery (BIMA; 1), and a branch of the SMA (BSMA; 1). Twenty-seven VAA in 21 patients (64%) were uncomplicated (group I) and 15 VAA in 13 patients (36%) had ruptured (group II) (PDA; 6; CT, 3; SA, 1; CHA, 1; LHA, 1; BSMA, 1; BIMA, 1). In group I VAA were treated by embolization (n = 11), splenectomy (n = 6), bypass (n = 7), ligation (n = 2), and aneurysmorraphy (n = 1). No deaths were observed. The morbidity rate associated with surgical treatment was 12% including hepatic bypass thrombosis without ischemic complications in two cases. The morbidity rate associated with endovascular treatment was 18% including cholecystitis in one case and bile duct stenosis in one case. The VAA recanalization rate following embolization was 9%. In group II, 12 VAA (80%) were treated by ligation in association with splenectomy in two cases and left hepatectomy in one case. Only one bypass procedure was performed and embolization was used to treat two VAA (1 SMA and 1 PDA). The mortality rate was 20% (3/15). The morbidity rate associated with surgical treatment was 46% (6/13) including bile duct stenosis in one case, ischemic cholecystitis in one case, duodenal fistula in one case, pancreatic fistula in one case, bile tract fistula in one case, and colonic ischemia in one case. No patient died after endovascular treatment and the morbidity rate was 50% (1/2) with duodenal stenosis occurring in one case. In sum, VAA can rupture. Emergency cases can be treated by ligation in most cases or by embolization if the hemodynamic status of the patient allows. Regardless of treatment technique, the morbidity and mortality rate remains high after rupture, especially in cases involving PDA. Embolization can be proposed as a first-line treatment for most VAA. Because of the risk of rupture, endovascular or open repair is warranted for VAA and has a favorable prognosis.

The CT scan showed a stenosis of the left renal artery, which was pushed against the aorta by the left crus of the diaphragm. An angioplasty with placement of an autoexpansible stent was carried out with a good result on the arterial pressure level. After 3 years, the patient was re-hospitalised with severe hypertension. The CT scan demonstrated a compression of the stent by the left crus of the diaphragm, with good permeability of the artery downstream from the stent, and radiographic examination showed a fracture of the left renal artery stent. Thus, a reimplantation of the left renal artery in the aorta was carried out. Stenosis of the renal artery by fibres from a crus of the diaphragm is a rare cause of renovascular hypertension. Helicoidal angioscanner imaging is particularly useful to do the diagnosis. In the present case, renal angioplasty with stenting was complicated by a fracture of the stent that led to the surgery. Thus, when renal artery stenosis by a crus of the diaphragm is diagnosed, surgical treatment needs to be considered on a case-by-case basis in relation to the anatomy and the biological and functional data.

Wacana persamaan hak tersebut pada awalnya merupakan terobosan baru Islam dalam rangka mereformasi berbagai bentuk ketidakadilan terhadap kaum perempuan pada masa jahiliyyah ( Arab pra -Islam ).
