Overview The integration of land administration processes and the collaboration of land agencies are considered essential for the effective delivery of developable land for housing production. However, in most countries, housing and land management policies are usually split between multiple government agencies. The background literature suggests that the activities of governments’ agencies tha...

The present study was conducted to assess the risk to human health by microbial load and heavy metals (Cr, Cu, Ni, Zn, Cd and Pb) through the intake of locally grown vegetables irrigated by metal contaminated water and waste water in Delhi and NCR region. Twenty-two varieties of vegetables grown in the agricultural land were collected for analysis. The results revealed that concentrations of co...

Ground based systems are the main approach used for off-road timber transportation throughout the world. Estimates of terrain transportation costs are required for several forest planning problems and for assessment of harvesting contracts and forest land values. Methods for these calculations can be categorized into two groups. Methods based on average transportation distance predate computers...

-To increase mobility and stability under real conditions and achieve superior performance related to walking robots that can travel on land with a configuration as close to real situations as possible, this paper presents studies and research for the integration of additional functions for the compliant control of HFPC walking robots. Starting from the basic functions of the control system, hy...

Abstract This paper compares a differential wheelspeed based dead reckoning system to a gyro based system for land navigation. Test results show that the gyro and wheelspeed-heading schemes perform equally well when modeling assumptions hold, such as when navigating smooth road surfaces. However, the wheelspeed-heading estimator’s position errors grow about twice as fast as the gyro based syste...
