On the basis of the external hazard index (H ex), Raeq activities, and annual effective dose rates for organs (H organ), the natural radioactivity of cement samples is not greater than the recommended values in the established standards and hence safe for use in building constructions and ...
Inorganic mulch is often more shallow. For example, a mulch of small stones usually only needs to be an inch deep. 1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet Dry mulches—including sawdust, woodchips, peat moss, and drystraw—can be a fire hazard. Keep them away from buildings to be on the safe ...
The unique terrain characteristics of a particular landscape are derived from DEM, which are responsible for initiation and development of ephemeral gullies. As the topographic features of an area significantly influences on the erosive power of the water flow, it is an important task the extraction...
