Land is a fundamental factor of production and though much of the course of human history, it has been tightly coupled with economic growth. Soil erosion by water is one of the most important land degradation processes … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,452 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Nonlinear Optimal Feedback Law for Satellite Injection Problem Using Neighboring Optimal ControlHamed Hossein Afshari, Alireza Basohbat Novinzadeh, Jafar RoshanianAn optimal trajectory design of a nonlinear satellite injection problem for transfer to a final target orbit by minimizing the time was investigated. Indeed, this design was an exact solution to the nonlinear two-point boundary value problem which determined optimal control history as well as optimal state trajectories in the open-loop form. Furthermore, the obtained optimal guidance strategy was exerted … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,262 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Data Processing on Data QualityA. R. SamihProblem statement: Great attention had been paid on spatial data quality by the scientific community. This was due to the negative impact that a poor spatial data quality had on the competitiveness of an organization. On other hand, we can never obtain good quality data from a poor quality data. In this study, we demonstrate the effects of the different … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,275 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProgressive Resistance Training on Elderly HIV+ Patients: Does it Work?Paula Maria Loiola De Souza, Wilson Jacob Filho, José Maria Santarém et al.Elderly people present significant alterations on body composition and physical fitness, compromising their quality of life. Chronic diseases, including HIV/AIDS, worsen this situation by increasing aging effects on body composition and muscle strength. Resistance exercises are prescribed by major health organizations for improving fitness and promoting a shift towards a healthier and more independent aging.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Modeling of Laterally Loaded PilesS.T. Kok, Bujang B.K. HuatDesign of laterally loaded piles due to soil movement relies on a number of theoretical and numerical approaches. However, the magnitude of soil movement is difficult to estimate with reasonable confidence and accuracy. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) offers an excellent alternative to study pile-soil interaction and pile’s response under lateral loading due to soil movement. This research presents published analytical … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,457 accessesView PDFCite
