straight in physical sense, and the forms of them depend on the distance :;Pmedian plane in binocular visual space. Using virtual environmental display system, it became possible to construct the experimental system to measure the parallel alley and eqi-distance alley in binaural auditory space. The experiments were conducted and the results were obtained as follows: (1) Parallel alley and eqi-...

Different alley flooring systems have been found to influence claw health and locomotion among dairy cows in cubicle barns. The ability to keep the alley floors clean and dry is part of this. It is, however, challenging to keep the alleys clean at all time. Different cleaning regimes are used, and barns are equipped with a diversity of scrapers and alley surfaces. Scrapers are earlier found to ...

For binocular visual space, it is a well-known phenomenon that the horopter curves are not always physically straight, and that the form of the curves depends on the distance. A similar phenomenon is also known for tactile space. We conducted fundamental experiments on sound localization with distance, and confirmed that the horopter curves in auditory space are not always physically straight e...

BACKGROUND Outdoor ambient polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) concentrations are variable throughout an urban environment. However, little is known about how variation in semivolatile and nonvolatile PAHs related to the built environment (open space vs. semi-closed space) contributes to differences in concentrations. METHODS We simultaneously collected 14, two-week samples of PAHs from the...

Alley cropping may promote greater sequestration of soil organic carbon. The objective of this study was to examine spatial variability of soil organic carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) fractions relative to tree rows in established alley cropping systems in north central Missouri. Soils were collected to a depth of 30 cm from two alley cropped sites, a 19-yr-old pecan (Carya illinoinensis)/bluegrass...

Productivity of maize and soil properties change under alley cropping system consisting of four woody species (Gliricidia sepium, Leucaena leucocephala, Cajanus cajan and Senna siamea) at different nitrogen levels (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% of recommended rate) were studied in the floodplain ecosystem of Bangladesh. Comparative growth performance of four woody species after pruning showed that L. ...

This research was conducted in six typical villages of Northern Bangladesh. A sample of 170 farmers was selected. Research indicates that the farmers practising agroforestry own small farms and the income of agroforestry helps them to reduce their poverty, maintain their socio-economic needs and sustain their livelihoods. Agroforestry is not a new concept in the study area. The people have been...

The Vocational Interest-Career Examination (VOICE) is an Air Force instrument designed to assess vocational interests among Air Force enlistees. Its development and validation are described by Alley and Matthews (1982). In * ^"^) addition, job satisfaction can be predicted by the VOICE (Alley, Wilbourn, & Si Berberich, 1976). Job satisfaction has been found to be related to fatigue, (^ dissatis...

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the complementary utility of chlorophyll fast fluorescence OJIP transient (from 50 microns to 1s) measurements in the aerial study of rows of trees. We identify limitations in photochemical events induced by urban injuries on Platanus acerfolia L. using the JIP-test procedure. The Performance Index (PIABS) showed the largest dynamic range to character...

this paper examines the structure and form of the alley spaces in kampala central businessdistrict, with purpose to examine their uses, and the potential for urban renewal. the study employed multiplemethodological approaches and procedures including document review, case study approaches and analysis anddeduction of empirical findings, and explanation building. the study findings reveal that a...
