this paper will concentrate on the result of a research based on comparative study between two persian gardens in different micro climates in arid regions. sustainability could be observed in many aspects and elements of traditional iranian architecture and landscape architecture, and this method of design has used to solve many problems for many centuries. gardens of iran have had special role...

In 2008 it was closed and dismantled the spectacular Duke Gardens near Princeton University. They were created by the famous heiress Doris Duke, in honor of her father, James Buchanan Duke. This last gentleman caused 100 million deaths during the 20th century. The gardens mentioned demonstrated, perhaps trivially, what was stated by philosopher Walter Benjamin: There has never been a document o...

– Chemical gardens consist of hollow silica fibers that form from silicate solution upon seeding with salt crystals or injection of salt solution. We investigate the outer radius of these tubes for steady and oscillatory growth dynamics. The radius increases with increasing injection rates and concentrations of cupric sulfate seed solution. For steady growth, we find that the tube radii are des...

Contemporary philosophical work on causation is a tangled mess of disparate aims, approaches, and accounts. Best to cut through it by means of ruthless but, hopefully, sensible judgments. The ones that follow are designed to sketch the most fruitful avenues for future work. Contemporary philosophical work on causation is a tangled mess of disparate aims, approaches, and accounts. Best to cut th...

For binocular visual space, it is a well-known phenomenon that the horopter curves are not always physically straight, and that the form of the curves depends on the distance. A similar phenomenon is also known for tactile space. We conducted fundamental experiments on sound localization with distance, and confirmed that the horopter curves in auditory space are not always physically straight e...

Community gardens are heterogeneous environments that integrate environmental restoration, community activism, social interactions, cultural expression, and food security. As such, they provide a context for learning that addresses multiple societal goals, including a populace that is scientifically literate, practices environmental stewardship, and participates in civic life.

A live demonstration of fodder crops was under taken in 12 villages of Bhadravathi taluk, Shimoga district, Karnataka, to educate the farmers in cultivating perennial fodder grasses in their areca and coconut gardens as inter crops.100 farmers were selected ran...

There are thousands of school gardens in the United States, and there is anecdotal evidence that school garden programs can enhance students' learning in academic, social, and health-related domains. There has been little rigorous research, however, on the effects of school gardens or on the factors that promote the sustainability of these programs. This review draws on ecological theory to con...
