Rapid growth of urbanization and its complications in recent decades has absorbed urban planners' attention to stability and stable development issues. In this regard community which is the core stone of urban development stayed away from formal system of spatial planning, and established communities are in contrast with preserving stable development rules and principals, therefore this researc...

is when per capita production and consumption grow. This may occur when more hours are spent working; but more important, for the long-term, is new technology, which leads to higher rates of extraction and/or more effi cient use of resources. For most nations, economic growth refl ects a concurrent increase in population and per capita production and consumption, all facilitated by the developm...

Technologies for storing, transmitting, and processing information have made astounding progress in dematerialization. The amount of physical mass needed to represent one bit of information has dramatically decreased in the last few years, and is still declining. However, information will always need a material basis. In this chapter, we address both the upstream (from mining to the product) an...

Physical activity is a leading health indicator (1) and has numerous benefits, including reduced risk of coronary heart disease, hypertension, colon cancer, and diabetes (2). Regular physical activity can help prevent the onset of diabetes (3), even among those at high risk (i.e., those with impaired glucose tolerance [4]), and is part of diabetes selfmanagement among people with the disease (5).

the main objective of this study was using of canonical correlation analysis (cca) to find relations between 15 different variables of seed emergence and seedling growth related characteristics of seven important crop that were classified in three groups. the studied groups of variables were included physical characteristics (seed weight, seed length, seed density, water absorption and water co...

The continuous monitoring of water stress will increase the accuracy deficit irrigation scheduling. Almonds are very sensitive to conditions and an important consumer. Recently, a novel approach use trunk growth rate (TGR) data has been proposed for olive trees. These works suggested TGR frequencies evaluate status aim current work was compare seasonal pattern three different indicators derived...
