harvesting of timber using ground based machinery is still a common practice around the world. track and road building, and movement of machinery during harvesting operations cause soil disturbance. therefore the aim of this study was to investigate the change in soil properties after logging operation on skid trails (2 years and 7 years after logging) and compare disturbed soil properties with...

In consideration of physical and chemical properties of pure substances, speed of sound is one of important quantity which can used to calculate many of other thermo-physical properties such as isothermal compressibility, Joule-Thomson coefficient, isobaric heat capacity and etc. These thermo-physical properties are the main parameters in industrial and chemical processes. Development of accura...

application of outflow water from treatment plants for irrigation as a non-usual water resource is being developed due to the lack of usual water resources in iran. activated carbon as a conditioner in water treatment procedures causes undesired changes in hydraulic properties of porous media and soil degradation. in this paper, the effects of activated carbon concentration on hydrodynamic prop...

in this experiment, physical and chemical characteristics and estimation of effective fiber and digestibility of some agricultural by-products such as lerd, pulp and date kernel, grape pomace, pistachio hulls, lime and rice straw were determined by using in vitro technique. experimental data were analyzed as a complete randomized design, with three replicates. physical and chemical characterist...

in this article, the size, dimensions, volume, bulk and particle densities, empyting and filling angles of repose and friction coefficients against different surfaces were evaluated for two varieties of barley, sahra and valfajr, as a function of moisture content in the range of 10.12 to 42.17 (w.b.%). most physical properties of barley varieties were significantly affected by moisture content ...
