The future Square Kilometre Array (SKA) radio telescope is an interferometer array that will use a variety of collector types, including approximately 2500 dishes distributed with separations up to a few thousand kilometres, and about 250 aperture array (AA) stations located within 200 km of the core. The data rates associated with each individual collector are vast: around 10 GBytes/s for each...

Abstract Litter decomposition plays an important role in the carbon cycle and is affected by many factors forest ecosystems. This study aimed to quantify rhizosphere priming effect on litter subtropical southwestern China. A experiment including control trenching treatments was conducted using bag method, rate calculated dry mass loss. Trenching did not change soil temperature, but increased wa...

number of "municipal 'towns, in India, the methods of disposal of town"-wastes like night soil and katchra are highly insanitary and wasteful. The katchra dumping grounds and the night soil trenching grounds have often proved to be dangerous sources of fly breeding. For some years now, the compost method has been recommended as a satisfactory system of disposal of town refuse. It has proved to ...

Abstract In mainland China, approximately 86% of M≥7 earthquakes have occurred in the block boundary zone, which has been well explained by active theory. However, a few large within block, provides us with an opportunity to better study deformation Tibetan Plateau. The Litang Fault (LTF) is strike-slip fault Sichuan-Yunnan Active Block and produced 1948 M7.3 earthquake. We presented Holocene r...

13 This contribution illustrates the advantages of integrating conventional 14 geomorphological methods with InSAR, ground penetrating radar and trenching for 15 sinkhole mapping and characterization in a mantled evaporite karst area, where a 16 significant proportion of the karstic depressions have been obliterated by artificial fills. 17 The main practical aim of the investigation was to eluc...

We would like a robot excavator that is able to excavate a volume of soil according to specification. To this end we have developed a general method that can be used to provide prescriptions as to where and how to dig for a variety of excavator configurations and tasks. This paper presents simulation results of a front-end loader performing a loading task. In addition, preliminary results from ...
