Forest roads are the base infrastructure foundation of forestry operations. These roads entail a complex engineering effort because they can cause substantial environmental damage to forests and include a high-cost construction. This study was carried out in four sample sites of Giresun, Trabzon(2) and Artvin Forest Directorate, which is in the Black Sea region of Turkey. The areas have both st...

Configuration of locomotion for planetary rovers is motivated by increased interest in exploring lunar polar craters. Current rover designs cannot achieve the ascent or descent required by steep, unconsolidated lunar slopes. New designs must provide locomotive capability for steep climbing, techniques for controlling slip, and safely navigating down and along steep slopes. We propose a locomoti...

Since the discovery of the stimulating effect of corn steep liquor on penicillin fermentation, various lactosesteep liquor media have been used in penicillin fermentations. The requirements for a good penicillin fermentation are fulfilled by the steep liquor-lactose media by virtue of its composition (Johnson, 1952). The production of penicillin on a chemically defined medium (Jarvis and Johnso...
