Abstract The necessity of reclamation disturbed lands as a result mining is substantiated. Disturbed lose all economic importance. In addition, they are source pollution soil and air in the adjacent territories, worsen living conditions population appearance landscape. technique drawing up working projects for recultivation by using GIS software “Panorama” considered. use this reduces time need...

BACKGROUND Bispectral index (BIS) monitoring reduces the cases of intraoperative awareness. Several factors can alter BIS readings without affecting the depth of anesthesia. We conducted a study to assess the impact of beach chair position (sitting position) on BIS readings. METHODS General anesthesia was administered to 30 patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery. Patients were kept...

In this work, we will identify important variables that contribute to vehicular movement in an emergency environment. In particular, we formulate and pose the Convoy Routing Problem. We suggest a method for modeling the problem and formulate a precise problem statement that significantly reduces the number of variables under consideration. The difficulty of the proposed problem is examined, pra...

8 Three-dimensional beach features such as crescentic sandbars and rip channels influence beach 9 response to, and recovery from, storm waves, as well as significantly affecting the safety and 10 amenity provided by the surf-zone for beach water-users. In this contribution temporal variations in 11 subtidal and intertidal beach three-dimensionality are observed at a high-energy macrotidal beach...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Coastal development has led to extensive habitat destruction and the near extinction of the beach clustervine, Jacquemontia reclinata (Convolvulaceae), an endangered, perennial vine endemic to dune and coastal strand communities in south-eastern Florida. We examined the breeding system of this rare species, and observed visitors to its flowers, as part of a larger effort to ...

Journal of Coastal Research, 24(6), 1450–1458. West Palm Beach (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. This study explores impacts of off-road vehicles on ghost crab populations as a measure of impact from recreational b...

Contamination of recreational waters with Escherichia coli and Enterococcus sp. is a widespread problem resulting in beach closures and loss of recreational activity. While E. coli is frequently used as an indicator of fecal contamination, and has been extensively measured in waterways, few studies have examined the presence of potentially pathogenic E. coli strains in beach waters. In this stu...

WANG, P. and KRAUS, N.C., 2005. Beach profile equilibrium and patterns of wave decay and energy dissipation across the surf zone elucidated in a large-scale laboratory experiment. Journal of Coastal Research, 21(3), 522–534. West Palm Beach (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. The widely accepted assumption that the equilibrium beach profile in the surf zone corresponds with uniform waveenergy dissipatio...

Acknowledgements We would like to thank all the staff in the local and county law enforcement agencies in Palm Beach County who were extremely cooperative in supplying data on violent arrests and spent numerous hours in their already busy schedules to compile this critical information. Also, we want to thank the Palm Beach County Medical Examiner's Office who was gracious enough to share their ...
