The purpose of this study was to investigate the benefits to health and well-being of allotment gardening (in Wales, UK) in a communitydwelling older adult sample, with a particular emphasis on stress recovery. Semi-structured interviews were used to explore allotment gardener participants’ personal beliefs and ideas of the benefits of their allotment gardening activity. The transcribed intervi...

(Thalictrum)—their delicate flowers, handsome foliage and graceful habits—are treasured by many gardeners. From the diminutive T. kiusianum to the titanic T. pubescens, they possess a distinctive charm. Meadow rues are a diverse group of perennials well-suited to a variety of garden settings including sunny borders, woodlands and rockeries. The wealth of meadow rues available to gardeners ensur...

Abstract: New exact solutions of some important nonlinear partial differential equations in one and two dimensions are obtained by using the direct algebraic method. The applicability of the method is demonstrated by applying it for the equal width wave (EW) equation, modified equal width wave (MEW) equation, improved Korteweg de Vries (IKdV) equation, modified regularized long wave (MRLW) equa...

In this paper, a Boussinesq equation is solved by using the Adomian's decomposition method, modified Adomian's decomposition method and homotopy analysis method. The approximate solution of this equation is calculated in the form of series which its components are computed by applying a recursive relation. The existence and uniqueness of the solution and the convergence of the proposed methods ...

The invasive brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (Stål) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), is an important pest of field crops, fruit orchards, commercial vegetables, ornamental plants, and home vegetable gardens. Pheromone-baited traps designed to attract, trap, and kill H. halys are marketed for use in home gardens to reduce damage to plants. To test this assertion, we conducted the followi...

The aim of this work is to carry out a systematic experimental study of the use of iterative techniques in the context of solving the linear system of equations arising from the solution of the diffusion–convection equation with variable velocity field through the use of the dual reciprocity method in multidomains (DRMMD). We analyse the efficiency and accuracy of the computed solutions obtaine...

in this paper, an iterative method is proposed for solving matrix equation $sum_{j=1}^s a_jx_jb_j = e$. this method is based on the global least squares (gl-lsqr) method for solving the linear system of equations with the multiple right hand sides. for applying the gl-lsqr algorithm to solve the above matrix equation, a new linear operator, its adjoint and a new inner product are dened. it is ...

based on the carnahan and starling hard sphere equation of compressibility, an equation of state has been derived. conditions that must be met by all equations of state are applied in order to obtain attractive term or non - ideal compressibility term of the equation. second virial coefficient and acentric factor arc used in the derivation of the equation of state. in this equation, compressibi...

Urban green spaces and the biodiversity therein have been associated with human health well-being benefits, but contribution of domestic gardens to those benefits is insufficiently known. Using data from a cross-sectional sample (n = 587) garden owners in Flanders Brussels (northern Belgium), associations between residential space quality around gardens, related activities socioeconomic backgro...
