The Plain Forestation Project is an important measure designed to alleviate air pollution in Beijing, the capital of China. Ten commonly cultivated forest types of the Plain Forestation Project were studied at three growth stages of leaves. The particulate matter (PM)2.5 concentrations and forest structures were surveyed to analyze the PM2.5 concentration differences between different forest ty...

We investigate the expressive power of first-order quantifications in the context of monadic second-order logic over pictures. We show that k+1 set quantifier alternations allow to define a picture language that cannot be defined using k set quantifier alternations preceded by arbitrarily many first-order quantifier alternations. The approach uses, for a given picture language L and an integer ...

Plastic is a polymeric food wrapping material. It projected to increase in use and has the potential become raw material for recycling plants incinerators future. However, decomposing plastic difficult. This will cause complex problems if not addressed immediately. The purpose of this article was describe process making grass blocks from waste implement concept ‘zero runoff green city’ Malang C...

Soil thrust is a traction force of an off-road tracked vehicle. Existing soil assessment methods assume that continuous shear failure plane exists along the soil-track interface. However, recent experimental works revealed beneath track divided into blocks; each block sheared independently. This study proposed new total method based on block-shaped mechanism, and predicted by existing was compa...

Plain bupivacaine 0.5% or 0.75% was injected intrathecally in four groups of 10 patients. Group A received 0.75% bupivacaine 2.7 ml at L3/4, group B 0.5% bupivacaine 4 ml at L3/4, group C 0.75% bupivacaine 2.7 ml at L2/3 and group D 0.75% bupivacaine 2 ml at L3/4. A very wide range of height of block was found in each group and because of this there were few statistically significant difference...

In order to investigate water deficit stress on 24 of soybean (Glycine Max. L) cultivars and lines in temperate climate, an experiment was conducted in Iran Seed and Plant Improvement Institute. Stress levels were irrigation after evaporation of 50, 100, 150 mm water from pan, class A. Randomized Completely Block Design was arranged for each stress levels. Some traits such as, node number, plan...

This paper deals with the cost optimization of a pipe network using the technique of Genetic Algorithm. The software used for this purpose is WaterGEMS. Genetic Algorithm uses various factors for optimizing the cost and these factors depend upon the size of the network. An appropriate value of each factor is fixed by conducting sufficient number of trials and then a solution is obtained which g...

This study’s purpose was to compare jump height, velocity and force production between video simulated blocking, [reactive timing (RT) jump], and maximal effort vertical jumping, [self-select timing (SST) jump]. 10 female collegiate volleyball players performed both jumps onto a force plate in a laboratory while being videotaped with one camera. Jump heights(cm), velocities(m/s), and forces(%BW...

One main geodetic objective of the European Space Agency’s satellite mission GOCE (gravity eld and steady-state ocean circulation explorer) is the contribution to global height system uni cation. This can be achieved by applying the Geodetic Boundary Value Problem (GBVP) approach. Thereby one estimates the unknown datum offsets between different height networks (datum zones) by comparing the ph...

This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of organic compost produced through composting in development Moringa oleifera seedlings. The experiment was carried out a greenhouse Feira de Santana- BA, Brazil. design randomized blocks (RBD), with seven treatments per block and four replicates. following were tested: commercial substrate; sand (S); S/organic (OC) 80/20; S/OC 60/40; 40/60; 20/80; 0...
