Watershed damage is accelerated by increased utilization natural resources due population growth economic development, conflicts interest, lack integration between sectors the upstream-middle-downstream areas. For this reason, it necessary as...

New areas of research focus on bridging the gap between mobile robotics on land and at sea. This paper describes the evolution of RHex, a power-autonomous legged land-based robot, into one capable of both sea and land-based locomotion. In working towards an amphibious robot, three versions of RHex with increasing levels of aquatic capability were created. While all three platforms share the sam...

land-use planning is a science that determines the type optimum of land-use through studying the ecological characteristics of the land as well as its socio-economic structure. the primary objective of this study is to evaluate the land-use and natural resources for future sustainable land planning using gis. in this study, the makhdoom’s systematic method was used to analyze the ecological and...

irrigular land use, land degradation and increasing yield per surface area unit supplicate to be inevitable optimal land utilization.so land evaluation, planning and management to be necessary to achieve a sustainabledevelopment.following this trend, microleis (mediterranean land evaluation information system)has evolved towards an agro-ecological decision support system.the goal of this study ...
