Understanding the interactions between the land surface and the atmosphere is key to modelling boundarylayer meteorology and cloud formation, as well as carbon cycling and crop yield. In this study we explore these interactions in the exchange of water, heat and CO2 in a cropland– atmosphere system at the diurnal and local scale. To that end, we couple an atmospheric mixed-layer model (MXL) to ...

Differential SAR Interferometry (D-InSAR) is an effective tool in monitoring land subsidence because of its greater coverage area and better resolution of height change. A series of Japanese Earth Resources Satallite-1 (JERS-1) images from 1992 to 1998 has been used in monitoring the mine subsidence in the test site of this study, one of the important coal mining areas in China. D-InSAR procedu...

We compared the clinical outcome with femoral subsidence and radiographic changes in 102 patients at 9 to 13 years after low friction arthroplasty. In 92 cases with a satisfactory outcome there was an average of 2.3 radiological signs and mean subsidence of less than 5 mm. An unsatisfactory outcome was associated with 3.4 signs per film and with subsidence of more than 5 mm. The radiological si...

The increases above 1975 levels for acid mine drainage and subsidence for the years 1985 and 2000 based on projections of current mining trends and the National Energy Plan are presented. No increases are projected for acid mine drainage from surface mines or waste since enforcement under present laws should control this problem. The increase in acid mine drainage from underground mines is proj...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The two most common complications of femoral impaction bone grafting are femoral fracture and massive implant subsidence. We investigated fracture forces and implant subsidence rates in embalmed human femurs undergoing impaction grafting. The study consisted of two arms, the first examining the force at which femoral fracture occurs in the embalmed human femur, and the se...

-. This roper discusses in *M tie process undetien to mitigate the effects of any fiture mine subsidence on prison structures proposed above old abandoned underground workings. The site for a proposed prison complex purchased by the State of Indiana was located in west-central Indiana and was undermined by an old abandoned room and pillar mine. The original plan for construcdon cmsisted of one ...

This paper aims to develop a set of valid and reliable indicators to evaluate the regional land subsidence disaster vulnerability. The proposed indicator system can provide effective theoretical support for further land subsidence risk evaluation and risk management. This study transfers the qualitative analysis of land subsidence vulnerability to quantitative evaluation by developing a univers...

Karst is geomorphologically composed of limestone. However, limestone very susceptible to weathering due the influence water, which can cause land subsidence. The resistivity method often used determine potential for subsidence, while geotechnical methods are commonly considered capable juxtaposing with support interpretation accuracy. current research was conducted subsidence in karst area Lap...

OBJECT The aim in this study was to quantify the effects of vertebroplasty on endplate subsidence in treated and adjacent vertebrae and their relationship to endplate thickness and underlying trabecular bone in elderly female spines. METHODS Vertebral compression fractures were created in female cadaveric (age range 51-88 years) thoracolumbar spine segments. Specimens were placed into either ...
