Compression Performance of Newly Designed Replaceable Tubular Steel Piers by Haifeng Li, Xuehang Zhao, Wei Sun, Zhe Xiong

“…Considering the effect of the steel plate thickness on bearing capacity and deformation performance, the thickness tw of the outer constrained steel plate should be equal to the thickness t of the common steel tubular plate, and the thickness tf of the LYP steel tubular plate should satisfy t ≤ tf ≤ 2t. Finally, a design formula is proposed to calculate the axial bearing capacity of newly designed tubular steel piers with constrained LYP steel plates.…”

An overview of the status, productivity and determinants of improved forage technology adoption in Ethiopia: a review by Mamaru Tesfaye, Lemma Tessema

“…Generally, to intensify the likelihood of the adoption of improved forage technologies, policymakers and concerned stakeholders should focus on strengthening the research-extension-farmers (R-E-F) linkage, adult education, and capacity building, coaching farmers to access improved forage seeds, information on forage husbandry and feeding, strengthening extension systems as well as capabilities which can improve the livelihoods of smallholder dairy farmers. Finally, the technology developer should incorporate the needs and perceptions of farmers through technology design and development; and consider the key demand and supply side during technology development, which enhances the adoption of the technology more easily. …”
