Nonnative plantations can effectively conserve soil and water improve the ecology environment, but desiccation occur may become severe in forest grass lands water-limited regions, leading to degradation, vegetation decline, crop failure. Therefore, it is necessary regulate changing relationship between plant growth water. However, there no universally accepted theory provide guidance sustainabl...

With growth the construction technologies, Cold-Formed Steel, CFS, sections are widely used in ordinary steel buildings because of some advantages such as light weight, ease of installation, decrease in cost, and increase in speed of operation. Using the bolted connections for CFS joist is one of the best details for steel structures. The main objective of this study is to conduct an experiment...

In this paper the concept of carrying capacity is investigated to provide an improved understanding about its contribution to solve environmental problems. Light is shed on its form, interpretation and application in biology, demography, applied and human ecology. The analysis begins with an examination of the bedrock of carrying capacity which is Malthus’ population theory, and its mathematica...

In this paper, a new formulation along with numerical solution for the problem of finding a point-to-point trajectory with maximum load carrying capacities for flexible manipulators is proposed. For rigid manipulators, the major limiting factor in determining the Dynamic Load Carrying Capacity (DLCC) is the joint actuator capacity. The flexibility exhibited by light weight robots or by robots o...

Geometric imperfections such as radial imperfection, diamond shape, and local dimples could affect the buckling mode and load carrying capacity of axially compressed steel tubular columns. This paper experimentally investigates the effect of radial imperfection on the load carrying capacity of tubular columns. Test samples include 100 specimens with different values for diameter, length, thickn...

Anthropogenic impact on the environment and wildlife are multifaceted and far-reaching. On a smaller scale, controlling for predators has been increasing the yield from local natural prey resources. Globally, human-induced global warming is expected to impose severe negative effects on ecosystems, an effect that is expected to be even more pronounced in the scarcely populated northern latitudes...
