Design Guidelines Of Outdoor Urban Open Tourist Places., Talal Hammadi Dec 2020

Design Guidelines Of Outdoor Urban Open Tourist Places., Talal Hammadi

Mansoura Engineering Journal

The Design process of tourist places in Saudi Arabia is not so adequate to maximize their potential use, for both people and the wider environment. Many planned and designed outdoor areas were inadequately designed to satisfy local user needs, because of that many social and environmental problems have resulted from such unsystematic or unscientific planning and design, which were not carried out by professional environmental designers or landscape architects, Over the past seven decades, landscape design process of green urban open spaces and tourist areas have developed rapidly in many countries, while in some, the process can be considered as …

Synthesis Algorithms For Optimal Stable Control Systems With Respect To The Output Variable, S B. Atajоnova, U F. Mamirov Dec 2020

Synthesis Algorithms For Optimal Stable Control Systems With Respect To The Output Variable, S B. Atajоnova, U F. Mamirov

Scientific-technical journal

The article deals with the synthesis of optimal stable control systems with respect to the output variable. A continuous one-dimensional system with the properties of controllability and observability is discretized using the quantization period T and an extrapolator of zero order. The above expressions make it possible to obtain the parameters of the control law of a continuous one-dimensional system when the feedbacks in the control system are linear functions of the state of the object.

Inhibition Of Oxidative Metabolism By Nitric Oxide Restricts Emcv Replication Selectively In Pancreatic Beta-Cells, Joshua D. Stafford, Chay Teng Yeo, John A. Corbett Dec 2020

Inhibition Of Oxidative Metabolism By Nitric Oxide Restricts Emcv Replication Selectively In Pancreatic Beta-Cells, Joshua D. Stafford, Chay Teng Yeo, John A. Corbett

Biological Sciences Faculty Research & Creative Works

Environmental factors, such as viral infection, are proposed to play a role in the initiation of autoimmune diabetes. In response to encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) infection, resident islet macrophages release the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1b, to levels that are sufficient to stimulate inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression and production of micromolar levels of the free radical nitric oxide in neighboring b-cells. We have recently shown that nitric oxide inhibits EMCV replication and EMCV-mediated b-cell lysis and that this protection is associated with an inhibition of mitochondrial oxidative metabolism. Here we show that the protective actions of nitric oxide against EMCV infection …

Salt Marsh Elevation Limit Determined After Subsidence From Hydrologic Change And Hydrocarbon Extraction, R. Eugene Turner, Yu Mo Dec 2020

Salt Marsh Elevation Limit Determined After Subsidence From Hydrologic Change And Hydrocarbon Extraction, R. Eugene Turner, Yu Mo

Faculty Publications

Levee construction aboveground and hydrocarbon removal from belowground in coastal wetlands can create hydrologic changes that increase plant stress through flooding. But the significance of the subsidence they cause individually or in combination is contested. This study untangled them to demonstrate elevational limits of salt marshes by studying dredged and natural waterways in two salt marshes in Louisiana, USA. The areas had a homogenous plant cover before drilling for oil and gas extraction peaked in the 1960s, and now are a mixed network of natural waterways and dredged canals used to drill wells with an average drill date of 1965.8 …
