Determining the efficient density for forest roads is essential to decrease the costs of skidding and road constructing in forestry plans. In order to estimate the optimal density for road network in Dalak kheyl forest district (Mazandaran Wood and Paper Industries), we calculated the roading costs and hourly costs of Timber jack 450C and HSM 904 skidders. The length of skid trails was measured...

To study the development of graphical conventions we had members of a simulated community play a series of graphical interaction games with partners drawn from the same pool (Experiment 1). Once the community was established, a conventional graphical referring scheme emerged that facilitated high levels of semantic coordination, with reduced communicative effort. Next, a forced choice reaction ...

* This project is partly supported by the Australian Research Council and Monash University Grant No. 10260.00 ABSTRACT Simulation is a scientific method which is largely dominated by computers and has allowed the testing and assessment of many models before actual implementation. This paper proposes an approach to construction of a simulation that models the behaviour of an adaptive queuing pr...

Necessary inferences (e.g., The jury was not able to deliver its verdict by 3 o'clock. The jury did not deliver its verdict by 3 o'clock.) depend on linguistic knowledge. Invited inferences, (e.g., The jury was able to deliver its verdict by 3 o'clock. The jury delivered its verdict~y 3 o'clock.) depend on knowledge about the world. Responses were faster to necessary than to invited inferences ...

One of the most important subjects within the time study activities is tempo rating. Determining the accurate tempo for the workers plays an important role for determining the normal time of the work. There are various methods for determining the pace. One of the basic ones is the Westinghouse method based on four factors that are used while regarding the performance of the operator; skill, eff...

a r t i c l e i n f o This paper discusses the promises and challenges of innovation ethnographies. We depart from the notion that innovation processes are highly contingent, messy and non-linear and examine ways in which these processes have been studied. Our focus is on the challenges posed by the use of ethnographic methods to study innovation in-the-making. Our discussion is illustrated by ...

Altogether 352 categorized female athletes participated in the research; most of them were in the age of 18 to 21 years. With the purpose to determining interests and attitudes of top athletes in education system, a specially designed questionnaire was prepared for this study. Categorized athletes are excellent students and very successful in coordinating their sports and school obligations. Mo...
