As the family miniaturization trend become increasingly obvious in our country, empty nest family start to appear in rural areas showing a rising trend. Home-based agedcare mode is thought to be in line with the objective requirement of aging of population through posit...

Many studies have reported additional treatment is needed to use wastewater for agricultural purpose. Economic considerations should be taken into account to establish infrastructure for agricultural reuse because of a large amount of water use in irrigation and relativ...

The 2D numerical simulation of river flow requires a large amount of topographic data to build an accurate Digital Terrain Model which must cover the main river channel and the area likely to be flooded. DTMs for large floodplains are often generated by LiDAR flights. H...

Research highlights: Formica rufa is used widely for biocontrol in Turkish forests. Although ecological characteristics of red wood ant habitats are well known, the statistical significance of these characteristics and their effects on nest transplantation success are l...

Abstract Weeds are alternative hosts for plant-parasitic nematodes and have long been recognized for their ability to maintain nematode populations targeted for suppression by various management strategies. The impact of weeds as alternative hosts depends largely on nem...

Magnetic and electromagnetic induction (EMI) sensing have been identified as two of most promising technologies for the detection and discrimination of subsurface metallic objects, particularly unexploded ordnances (UXO). In magnetic sensing, the principle of detection ...
