objective: to compare the effectiveness of bibliotherapy and cognitive behavioral therapy on depression of students with emotional breakdown. method: this is a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest against a control group. the population includes all referred students to kharazmi university counselling center; 20 samples were selected using a convenience sampling method.  findings: the results co...

a major concern of farmers is deterioration of the soil and water resources. soil management is the most direct way for mankind to interfere with natural processes that may either intensify or hinder soil degradation. fractal geometry has been widely used to describe heterogeneity in a wide range of natural processes, including physical systems of soil. in this study, the effects of different m...

This document is the first deliverable of work package three – Modelling and Design. It covers white papers that have been produced and peer-reviewed by the M-Zones partners by the end of July 2003. Purpose of this document is to provide a holistic view of accomplished work regarding the modelling and design of management concepts/systems for smart spaces and to evaluate the research quality of...

Global software development is an inexorable trend in the software industry. The impact of the trend in conventional software development can be found in many of its aspects. One of them is task or work package allocation. Task allocation was traditionally driven by resource competency and availability but GSD introduces new complexities to this process including time-zones differences, costs a...

The effect of no-tillage (NT) vs. conventional tillage (CT) has been evaluated in rainfed conditions but seldom studied under irrigation, where soil sealing favour degradation. To contribute to this knwledge, research analyses aggregate stability disaggregation forces produced irrigation (slaking and mechanical breakdown) the susceptibility soils cropped with irrigated maize. Soils were sampled...

This deliverable reports on the results of the WebSand work package on Secure Web Interaction. It provides a wording definition and technical specification of the term and builds the basis for the development of the server-side framework that achieves Secure Web Interaction.

hairsine and rose (1991) developed a process-based soil erosion model which described the erosion transport of multiparticle sizes in sediment for rain-impacted flow in the absence of entrainment in overland flow. in order to test this model laboratory experiments were carried out in a detachment tray using simulated rainfall. three contrasting soil types were subjected to simulated rainfall at...

This paper presents a new and efficient method to calculate point mobilities from subcomponents of a full structure. When performing dynamic analyses of subcomponents the result normally tends to strongly depend on the boundary condition selected for the component. The goal is to simulate the results one would have received if the full model would be analysed. Normally free or clamped boundary ...
