stroke is one of the most common diseases among the elderly with high personal and societal costs. in recent years, robotic rehabilitation for stroke has become an active area of research for assistance, monitoring and qualifying the rehabilitation treatments. the key issue needed for improving rehabilitation system is that patient feedback should be taken into account by the robotic rehabilita...

runoff and erosion rates by one or more orders of magnitude, and these increases can threaten life and property as well as severely degrading water quality and aquatic ecosystems. Each year millions of dollars are spent on emergency postfire rehabilitation treatments to minimize flood runoff and soil erosion. Few data have been available to systematically evaluate the effectiveness of these tre...

In many arid and semiarid regions, saline playas represent a significant source of unconsolidated sediments available for aeolian transport, and severe saline dust storms occur frequently due to human disturbance. In this study, saline dust storms are reviewed systematically from the aspects of concept, general characteristics, conditions of occurrence, distribution and ecological impact. Our r...

This paper describes data that were collected in three counties of western Kenya, namely Siaya, Bungoma, and Kakamega. The main aim of collecting the data was to assess the climate smartness, profitability and returns of soil protection and rehabilitation measures. The data were collected from 88 households. The households were selected using simple random sampling technique from a primary samp...

Perez-Terzic C, Childers MK: Regenerative rehabilitation: a new future? Am J Phys Med Rehabil 2014;93(Suppl):S73YS78. Modern rehabilitation medicine is propelled by newfound knowledge aimed at offering solutions for an increasingly aging population afflicted by chronic debilitating conditions. Considered a core component of future health care, the rollout of regenerative medicine underscores a ...

Shifting agriculture in the tropics has been replaced by sedentary smallholder farming on a few hectares of degraded land. To address low yields and low income both, the soil fertility, the agroecosystem functions, and the source of income can be restored by diversification with nitrogen-fixing trees and the cultivation of indigenous tree species that produce nutritious and marketable products....

Environmental pollutants have received considerable attention due to their serious effects on human health. There are physical, chemical, and biological means to remediate pollution; among them, bioremediation has become increasingly popular. The nitrogen-fixing rhizobia are widely distributed in the soil and root ecosystems and can increase legume growth and production by supplying nitrogen, r...

The recent widespread increase in iron chlorosis on acid, sandy soils in Florida has led to studies of the underlying causes. The leaves on affected trees are deficient in iron (10). Field observations show that tree condition can be substantially improved by liming. Additions of iron sulphate to the soil has not improved tree condition noticeably. Recently foliage condition improved when small...

Besides their role in nitrogen supply to the host plants as a result of symbiotic N fixation, the association between legumes and Rhizobium could be useful for the rehabilitation of metal-contaminated soils by phytoextraction. A major limitation presents the metal-sensitivity of the bacterial strains. The aim of this work was to explore the usefulness of Sinorhizobium meliloti originated from a...

Abstract Ecosystem mangrove is an important ecosystem both ecologically and economically. Therefore, this needs to be managed in a sustainable manner. Mangrove rehabilitation one of the activities reduce rate destruction forests it conservation effort on damaged land. The purposes research were analyse growth seedling Rhizophora sp. after rehabilitation, correlation between environmental parame...
