To perform landslide susceptibility prediction (LSP), it is important to select appropriate mapping unit and landslide-related conditioning factors. The efficient automatic multi-scale segmentation (MSS) method proposed by the authors promotes application of slope units. However, LSP modeling based on these units has not been performed. Moreover, heterogeneity factors in neglected, leading inco...

Modern dangerous signs are manifested in the nature of most significant components engineering and geological conditions, ensured by safety people's life, features industrial abrupt construction mountainous foothill areas, and, consequently, conditions sustainable economic development. In event serious development processes, difficulties arise for use various measures that require ensuring popu...

A triangular model base on an investigation which has done by Sinha et al. has been developed for evaluating embedded crack localization in beam-column structures. In the assessment of this member’s behavior, the effects of displacement slope are necessary. In order to propose a crack localization method for embedded crack, an efficient static data based indicator is proposed for this crack in ...

The species-area relationship (SAR) is one of the most thoroughly investigated empirical relationships in ecology. Two theories have been proposed to explain SARs: classical island biogeography theory and niche theory. Classical island biogeography theory considers the processes of persistence, extinction, and colonization, whereas niche theory focuses on species requirements, such as habitat a...

Conducting research on slope failure risk assessment is beneficial for the sustainable development of slopes. There will be various modes considering both randomness groundwater level and soil shear strength parameters. Based integrated probability (IFP), traditional analysis needs to count all modes, including (Pf) coefficient (C), one-by-one. A new method that uses sum element calculate overa...
