per capita ecological footprint (ef) or ecological footprint analysis (efa), is a means of comparing the consumption and lifestyles while checking this based on the nature's ability to account for this consumption. the tool can inform the policymakers by examining to what extent a nation uses more or less than what is available within its territory, or to what extent the nation's lifestyle woul...

with the publication of the brundtland report carried the sustainability discussion into governments and businesses worldwide, much effort has gone into clarifying the meaning of the sustainability concept. to make the concept measurable and applied city sustainable idea, some new method was needed. so the method named ecological footprint has been presented.the ecological footprint method that...

afinite element model of a bias truck tire under static vertical load using a global/local technique is designed in two parts. in the first part a previously created model for radial tires is developed to take the constructional variables of bias tires into account. it is shown that the technique can successfully be used for bias tires. the main challenge here is the selection of the initial la...

The objective of this study was to describe the footprint location of the iliopsoas tendon on the lesser trochanter to clarify the surgical implications of the lesser trochanterplasty for treating ischiofemoral impingement. Ten non-matched, fresh-frozen, cadaveric hemipelvis specimens (average age, 62.4 years; range, 48-84 years; 7 male and 3 female) were included. Registered measures included ...

Anthropogenic features such as urbanization, roads, and power lines, are increasing in western United States landscapes in response to rapidly growing human populations. However, their spatial effects have not been evaluated. Our goal was to model the human footprint across the western United States. We first delineated the actual area occupied by anthropogenic features, the physical effect are...

To determine if there is a gender difference in the resource consumption activities of students in Central Mindanao University, a Philippine state university, an ecological foot printing study was conducted in August 2014. Consumption data from 380 student respondents were gathered using a survey questionnaire. A web-based software created by the Global Footprint Network was used to convert the...

[1] We used a combination of diffusion theory and neutron transport simulations to estimate the lateral footprint for a cosmic-ray soil moisture probe. The footprint is radial and can be described by an exponential function. Our theory assumes, and our simulations confirm that the corresponding exponential folding length is closely related to the moderation length in air, which in this work is ...

BACKGROUND The success of posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction has varied. The objective of this study was to determine quantitatively and qualitatively the topography and osseous landmarks of the femoral footprints of the anterolateral and posteromedial bundles of the posterior cruciate ligament in order to enhance repair. METHODS Twenty unpaired knees from twenty human cadavers were e...

Aim of this work is looking for a correlation between footprint and soil penetration volume of treads in agricultural tires. Three tyres of different dimensions, fitted on the same tractor with different pressures and loads (N=not ballasted; Z=ballasted) were tested for defining the area of the single footprint shape (SF and SaF), of the multiple footprint shape (MF) and the volume of tyre in s...
