solid waste municipal landfill can have significant health, economic and environmental effects. therefore, there is a need to comprehensive land evaluation for locating the best landfill place. the purpose of this paper is showcasing the process undertaken to locate the best landfill site for municipal solid waste of golpayegan township. at first, three alternatives were proposed after field su...

to examine how water retention characteristics in a landfill environment change as a result ofsolid waste settlement and to derive the evolution of pore size distribution, a lab scale long column experiment was carried out at two different time periods while keeping all the other characteristics constant. two columns, column 1 and column 2, were used in the study. the log normal distribution mo...

The development of computer technology has created artifacts that have more complex and intelligent functions. Such artifacts need more sophisticated interfaces than primitive artifacts. In this paper, we discuss which characteristics are appropriate for interfaces with artifacts and propose a concept of active affordance. We describe an autonomous mobile chair that we built as a test bed for a...

These networks are experiencing an exponential rise in the number and activity of users in recent years, leading to problems of scalability and increasing spam. Most OSNs currently impose restrictions on the number of social links that a user can have, in order to reduce strain on the OSN infrastructure and to prevent spammers from contacting large number of users indiscriminately. However, suc...
