Terraces are traditional engineered ecosystems that affect the hydro-geological equilibrium, slope stability, and local communities. The aims of this paper are (i) identifying environmental factors that affect terrace stability in the Amalfi Coast, (ii) defining agriculturalists' observations on environmental changes within that system and (iii) exploring potentiality of these observations to b...

Ecological charcoal is coal produced from biodegradable residues rich in carbon, mainly agricultural residues. This has been obtained with different operations such as carbonization, molding and compacting to obtain briquettes. To ensure the quality of coal, several analyses were carried out laboratories. The physicochemical characteristics moisture content, ash fixed carbon content; volatile m...

Quantum mechanics are generally interpreted as physical reality with superposition of wave functions, which have to collapse to observable reality. From a psycho-biological perspective, it could also be interpreted as superposition in the mental representation of reality, which corresponds to imagined potentiality and is naturally replaced by reality, when it becomes observable. The interpretat...

This paper applies Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Elasticity Analysis to an empirical assessment study on innovation ability and innovation potentiality. According to inputs and outputs data of these innovative enterprises, we build CCR model, BCC model and Elasticity model to measure their innovation ability and innovation potentiality. The results show that innovation ability is varied b...

This paper tries to investigate the wind power potentiality in Bangladesh based on wind velocity data. For this purpose wind velocity data are taken for various locations in Bangladesh. From the data analysis, it is seen that the maximum wind potentiality is existing in Chittagong from the aspect of wind velocity.

zagros forests are a treasure of various valuable species of oak in iran and the world. long-term misuse in the past has caused severe degradation in the zagros forests. recently these forests have become national but misuses by local people to make living because of poverty and unemployment are continued. in order to reduce degradation and improve sustainability, ecological capability for exte...

The processing of knowledge is becoming a major area of applications for computer systems. In contrast to data processing, the current stronghold of computer use, where well-structured data are manipulated through well-deened algorithms, the treatment of knowledge requires more intricate representation schemes as well as reened methods to manipulate the represented information. Among the many c...

A representational approach to ecological psychology is presented. This paper identifies a computational-level commonality in ecological psychology research related to passability of apertures. It is argued that a cognitive mechanism capable of comparing the geometric properties of an environment and the geometric properties of the agent can be used to support judgments for action in space.
