Abstract Given the aesthetic, cultural, ecological, and economic value of date agro-system in Southwestern Tunisia, different management conservation strategies have been warrantee to optimize land productivity sustainably. However, inefficiency adopted actions resulted a continuous loss soil fertility decreasing fruit quality. Thus, present paper attempts evaluate accurately evolution principa...

hen a builder, a designer, and a regulator wonder how big the septic system for a house should be, they might approach the question from different points of view. The builder might wonder, “How big does it have to be to last through my warrantee period?” The designer might ask, “How much water are the people who are buying this house likely to use?” The regulator might ask, “If this house is fi...

This tutorial discusses how the proper design of trim, adjustment, and calibration circuits can correct system tolerances, making medical equipment safer, more accurate, and more affordable. Calibration subjects addressed include compensating for component tolerances, using final-test calibration, improving reliability through power-on self-test and continuous/periodic calibration, enabling acc...

The quality and reliability requirements for next generation manufacturing are reviewed, and current approaches are cited. The potential for augmenting current quality/reliability technology is described, and characteristics of potential future directions are postulated. Methods based on knowledge discovery and analysis in manufacturing (KDAM) are reviewed, and related successful applications i...

Across the nation, numerous legacy electronics technology programs at the two-year college level are: being converted to Cisco and A+ based computer networking and repair programs, increasingly being asked to teach electronics fundamentals to non-electronics based technologies, and, most significantly, experiencing declining enrollments. In some cases, programs have been discontinued entirely d...
