The development of ap integrated knowledge-based machine-aided translation system called PANGLOSS in collaboration with the Center for Machine 'Ikanslation (CMT) at CMU and the Computing Research Laboratory (CRL) at New Mexico State University. The IS1 part of the collaboration is focused initially on providing the system's output capabilities, primarily in English and then in other languages, ...

The gradient method used to estimate soil CO2 flux is distinctive because it can provide additional information about production and consumption of profile. However, choosing an appropriate gas diffusion model with confidence the a big challenge. There no universal optimal but only most suitable in specific soils. This paper evaluates applicability five commonly models laboratory changing prope...

After a brief introduction on vehicle barriers in general, the writers present a rational basis of determining a design force on security barriers. The design force is derived from rigid barrier impact deceleration values culled from published literature on vehicles with similar kinetic energy. The Appendix provide a summary of references for further study. DOI: 10.1061/ ASCE 1084-068

The rise in water demand for agriculture, industry, domestic, and environmental needs requires sagacious use of this limited resource. Since agriculture (mainly irrigation) is the major user of water, improving agricultural water management is essential. Efficient agricultural water management requires reliable estimation of crop water requirement (evapotranspiration). Evapotranspiration (ET) i...

this experiment aimed to determine evapotranspiration, and responses of some yield and quality parameters of subsurface drip irrigated broccoli (brassica oleraceae l.). treatments included water application when available soil moistures were depleted 30, 40, and 50% during both spring and autumn cultivations. under a semi-arid climatic condition of tokat, turkey, the experiment was carried out ...

Laboratory and field tests have shown that accelerated compression of peat soils occurs in response to moderate heating and an effective overconsolidation is produced on subsequent cooling. This phenomenon has been termed thermal precompression. In this study, long-term laboratory and field tests were conducted to investigate secondary compression behavior of peat as a function of stress and te...
