The optimum road spacing has been studied by many researches. It is an important step of forest road network planning. The goals of this study are determining the optimum road spacing in Kheiroudkenar forest of Nowshahr in Northern Iran and study of effect of kind of skidder on skidding cost and road spacing. Continues time study method was used to determine the production rate of TAF and Timbe...

aisi 4340 steel is one of the super strong steels that can be selected for different applications. by designing theproper cycles of heat treatment, the optimum microstructure and properties of this steel can be achieved. in thisstudy, different heat treatment cycles were introduced to achieve the optimum microstructure and improve themechanical and magnetic properties of aisi 4340 steel. the re...

this study presents a comparison between aluminum and iron plate electrodes on phosphate removal from aqueous solutions by electrocoagulation process. the effectiveness of main operational parameters such as initial ph, initial phosphate concentration and current density were examined. in addition, treated solution and sludge characteristics, energy consumption and electrode mass depletion w...

SOURCES OF DATA This systematic review used data derived from the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro; www.pedro.org.au, 23 October 2015, date last accessed). AREAS OF AGREEMENT ESWT is effective and safe. An optimum tr...

background: despite the great impact of diet on the metabolic syndrome, limited data are available relating dietary energy density to this syndrome. furthermore, due to specific characteristics of diet in middle-eastern countries, looking for the association between dietary energy density and metabolic syndrome in this part of the world would be interesting. this study was performed to assess t...

background: car wash waste water contains several contaminants such as organic matter, oil, grease, detergents and phosphates, all of which are harmful for the environment. in this study, the application of electrocoagulation (ec) to treat car wash waste water has been studied, and the operating parameters optimized. the electro-fenton (ef) for further contaminant removal was also investigated....
