A Fractal Model of Mountains with Rivers
This paper addresses the long-standing problem of generating fractal mountains with rivers, and presents a partial solution that incorporates a squig-curve model of a river’s course into the midpoint-displacement model for mountains. The method is based on the observation that both models can be expressed by similar context-sensitive rewriting mechanisms. As a result, a mountain landscape with ...
متن کامل‘We had to climb mountains and cross fast-flowing rivers’
It was Dr Vincent Zigas who first started research into kuru and Dr Carleton Gajdusek joined him later. Vincent would drop us off and pick us up with his Landrover and we would patrol through the kuruaffected region with Carleton. Vincent was from Europe and we had great difficulty in understanding his Tok Pisin. He knew this, so he would purposely talk in a way that made us laugh. He was a goo...
متن کاملPreparing for Your Future as You Grow
Commissural axons cross the nervous system midline and connect to targets in the contralateral hemisphere. In this issue of Neuron, Michalski et al. (2013) demonstrate that synapses formed by ipsilaterally misrouted commissural axons exhibit defects in synapse maturation. Thus, midline crossing primes axons for subsequent synaptogenesis.
متن کاملLandscape-Scale Genetic Structure of Wild Rice Zizania latifolia: The Roles of Rivers, Mountains and Fragmentation
Wild rice (Zizania latifolia) is an important genetic resource and it has important ecological functions in aquatic ecosystems as well. Here, we used landscape genetics to investigate how the landscape features, including rivers, mountains and habitat fragmentation, affect the genetic connectivity or create dispersal barriers for Z. latifolia. In this report, seventeen populations from the Sanj...
متن کاملEcological responses to nutrients in streams and rivers of the Colorado mountains and foothills
1. Abundance and composition of periphyton and benthic macroinvertebrates were treated as potential nutrient response variables for 74 streams in montane Colorado. The streams ranged from unenriched to mildly enriched with nutrients (N, P). 2. The study showed no meaningful relationship between periphyton biomass accumulation and concentrations of total or dissolved forms of nitrogen or phospho...
