The article takes an actual topic for the present and carried out work to determine intensity of erosion processes using Smith method Olenty River basin West Kazakhstan region. purpose this was process soil in various types land use. To flushing, following were used: potential sediments, type, mechanical composition, slope steepness, vegetation, plowing, forecast model, universal loss equation ...

13 We update recent work on the scientific inference and reproductive biology of steepness in three 14 directions. First, we show how variation in natural mortality can be included in the formula 15 for steepness, for both a biomass dynamics and age-structure models. We do this using the 16 delta-method, so that only the mean and covariance of natural mortality rates appear in the 17 characteri...

Based on a digital elevation model (DEM) and GIS technology, we extracted analyzed stream geomorphic indices—such as the slope, relief degree of land surface (RDLS), hypsometric integral (HI) channel steepness index (ksn)—of Cangshan Piedmont Fault, Fengyi–Dingxiling Fault Midu Basin Margin in northern segment Red River Zone. This work indicates that all indices show higher values, with highest...

Trains of secondary bedforms, superimposed on primary dunes, have been observed in rivers worldwide. To date, it has remained unclear how these bedforms affect the sediment transport dynamics a fluvial system. In this study, field campaign was conducted to acquire data set with high spatial and temporal resolution, enabling track bedform migration. Results show that two distinct scales are acti...

The Fiumarella di Corleto drainage basin is an emblematic sector of the southern Apennine thrust belt in Basilicata region (Southern Italy), which strongly affected by landslides. Landslides both affect urban area and facilities related to hydrocarbon exploitation, such as pipelines oil wells connected with centre located just outside eastern border study area. Based on a detailed field survey,...

Wave run-up is one of the most important and effective parameters in designing semi-submersible platforms. Besides unforeseen effects on the movements and response of the platform, wave run up can also cause slamming forces to be exerted on the lower deck of the platform. Therefore, at the first stages of this plan, before running tests on the model of the platform, numerical methods are usuall...

Perception of hill slant is exaggerated in explicit awareness. Proffitt (Perspectives on Psychological Science 1:110-122, 2006) argued that explicit perception of the slant of a climb allows individuals to plan locomotion in keeping with their available locomotor resources, yet no behavioral evidence supports this contention. Pedestrians in a built environment can often avoid climbing stairs, t...
