Compressibility of a soil mass is its susceptibility to decrease in volume under pressure and is indicated by soil characteristics like coefficient of compressibility, compression index and coefficient of consolidation. However, the determination of soil compressibility characteristics in the labs is a cumbersome and time consuming process, especially in the case of fine grained soils. In the p...

Timber harvesting operations using heavy forest machinery frequently results in severe soil compaction and displacement, threatening sustainable management. An accurate prediction of trafficability, considering actual operating conditions, minimizes these impacts can be facilitated by various predictive tools. Within this study, we validated the accuracy four terramechanical parameters, includi...

The pine nut from the stone pine (Pinus pinea L.) is the most important edible fruit in mediterranean forests. Despite this fact, there is a lack of knowledge regarding the application of agronomy techniques in stands of this species to increase pine nut production. Our study focuses on the effect of mineral fertilization on cone production and size, which in turn, are closely related to nut yi...

In geotechnical engineering applications, it is very important to obtain the undrained shear strength of remolded soils accurately and reliably. This study aims a trustworthy solution determine clay mixtures using Atterberg limit test results in various states consistency. An experimental was carried out involving wide range varying plasticity geological origin. analyses, variation soil dependi...

one of the main strategy for controlling salt-affected soils is to implement proper tillage method. a field experiments was conducted to determine the effect of different tillage methods on salt distribution and wheat yield in saline-sodic soil. the experiment was laid out according to randomized complete block design with three replications. treatments were studied in the experiment including ...

In this paper we develop a way to count zero momentum modes in front-form quantization and apply it to several such approaches: canonical light-cone quantization; Dirac light-cone quantization; reduced phase space quantization ; and Penrose quantization. We also examine which of these light-cone methods are consistent with the Atiyah-Singer index theorem.

By constructing a special cone and applying the fixed index theory in the cone, we prove the existence of positive solutions for a class of singular m-point boundary-value problems.

To identify effective regulatory methods scheduling with the compromise between the soil desalination and the improvement of tomato quality and yield, a 3-year field experiment was conducted to evaluate and compare the effect of straw mulching and soil structure conditioner and water-retaining agent on greenhouse saline soils, tomato quality, and yield. A higher salt removing rate of 80.72% in ...

This research was conducted to determine the physical and mechanical properties of origin mixed soil with added steel slag (SS) bamboo leaf ash (BLA) classification based on Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) guidelines. study used a mixture variations (0% SS ; 0% BLA), (20% SS; 10% (40% (60% SS, 10 % (100% BLA) curing time 0 7 days. The test in this unsoaked CBR test. In USCS type syste...
