1. The distribution and composition of in-stream habitats are reflections of landscape scale geomorphic and climatic controls. Correspondingly, Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) are largely adapted to and constrained by the quality and complexity of those in-stream habitat conditions. The degree to which lands have been fragmented and managed can disrupt these patterns and affect overall habit...

The delimitation of population units is of primary importance in population management and conservation biology. Moreover, when coupled with landscape data, the description of population genetic structure can provide valuable knowledge about the permeability of landscape features, which is often difficult to assess by direct methods (e.g. telemetry). In this study, we investigated the genetic s...

�he paper presents various landscape classification, that serve as a basis of area’s evaluation for the purpose of ecotouris�. Several research works realised in the �epart�ent of Geoecology of Warsaw University have been presented. It has been stated, that the �ost popular and efficient landscape units that can be use for such an evaluation are that of natural origin. �he �orphological and lan...

due to the importance of physical distribution service quality (pdsq) in logisticsystems, the purpose of this paper is to design a practical scale for measuring theconstruct through the perspectives of iranian convenience store retailers. a mixedmethodapproach was employed for the study; in- depth interviews were first carriedout with 16 iranian experienced retailers who actively had worked in ...

The rapid development of digital technology has led to the widespread of virtual or CAD based design environments. However, these tools lack a means of combing physical and digital representations in order to support the iterative design process. The illuminated workspace provides a self-contained design environment in which a number of physical, computational, statistical, and visual represent...

what to look for in abbas abad pool? a lake in middle of the forest on the mountain heights with an encircled building with waters and a garden ashore? why are the trees cut and used to build a garden? and what is the purpose of placing a lake on a dominant and deep valley over the khazar sea. today, green trees are grown in abbas abad garden and no sign of landscaping or water features can be ...
