The aim of the study presented here is to contribute to knowledge about how the Montado supports ‘new’ rural functions, connected to leisure and recreation activities, and how these can be improved. The Montado is an agrosilvopastoral system dominant in Southern Portugal. Due to its various types of uses, the Montado is recognizedly a multifunctional landscape, though future management conditio...

in this study, a robust controller is designed for fuzzy network control systems (ncss) using the static output feedback. delay and data packet dropout affect on the stability of network control systems, and therefore, the asymptotic stability condition is established considering delay and data packet dropout. delay is time-varying while the lower and upper bounds for delay is defined, and the ...

this survey is carried out with the major objective of studying various water treatment plants in iran. the emphasis was on the plants being fed by surface water resources; also the clarification unit was taken as the major one among treatment processes. in this way 25 water treatment plants located in different cities of iran were studied from the point of view of technical specifications chem...

the chronic exposure to elf-emf (extremely-low frequency electromagnetic field) has been shown as an effective factor at biological systems. in order to determine the possible effects of whole-body exposure to emf on plasma levels of testosterones and corticosterone, weight gain and testicular gene expression of gstt1 of male rats, the present study was performed by the following procedure: thi...
