Motives: The fragmentation of land and the distribution plots in rural areas negatively affects profitability efficiency agricultural production. Land consolidation is an activity that facilitates improvement spatial structure at same time contributes to sustainable development areas. European Union (EU) funding helps improve, among others area EU countries. Aim: From these premises, purpose wo...

Background: Chest x-ray has an important role in the diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB). The aim of this study was to determine the radiological changes in patients with smear positive pulmonary tuberculosis.Methods: In this study, 325 patients with smear positive pulmonary TB was enrolled. The affected lobe or lobes of the left or right lung were recorded. The types of involvement were categorized...

Introduction: The consolidation behavior of horizontal drainage foundation under complex aquifer conditions in karst areas is a hot topic the field geotechnical engineering. Methods: This paper presents modified piecewise-linear model for plane-strain consolidation. In this model, distributed boundary was used to describe performance soil layer boundaries, and UH considering time effect selecte...

A planning support system for land consolidation has been developed that has, at its heart, an expert system called LandSpaCES (Land Spatial Consolidation Expert System) which contains a “design module” that generates alternative land redistributions under different scenarios and an “evaluation module” which integrates GIS with multi-criteria decision making for assessing these alternatives. Th...

Abstract This paper presents a framework for modelling the random variation in permeability cement-admixed soil based on binder content and thereby relating coefficient of to unconfined compressive strength clay. The strength–permeability relationship was subsequently implemented finite element method (RFEM). effects spatial both clays RFEM is illustrated using two examples concerning one-dimen...

there are fragmentations in iran’s health insurance system. multiple health insurance funds exist, without adequate provisions for transfer or redistribution of cross subsidy among them. multiple risk pools, including several private secondary insurance schemes, have resulted in a tiered health insurance system with inequitable benefit packages for different segments of the population. also fra...
