Good government is vital to human society. But what proximal and distal factors influence this collective goodness perception? Here, we investigate how why multi-component evaluations by many institutional observers of public governance vary along the north-south rather than east-west axis Earth. Across 190 countries, show that quality improves from equator toward North South Poles in both East...

Since October 1, 1950, hydrologic-station records in USGS reports have been listed in order of downstream direction along the main stream. All stations on a tributary entering upstream from a mainstream station are listed before that station. A station on a tributary entering between two mainstream stations is listed between those stations. A similar order is followed in listing stations on fir...

Valley networks are mapped from mosaics composed of 100 m/pixel THEMIS images for 8 sites in Martian highlands. The sites are subdivided into individual drainage basins using 500 m/pixel DEMs co-registered with image mosaics. Terrain parameters are calculated for each basin with area > 10 km. Drainage densities of individual basins are 0 0.29 km−1. There is a moderate (r=0.5) correlation betwee...

In this paper an attempt is made to study the rainfall features associated with cyclonic systems (Depressions and storms) during excess deficit monsoon years over country. It seen statistically that there no significant difference in number of formed years. month May travel mostly towards north whereas they northwest ward. June formation positions have latitude formation. case longitude, form s...

Small solar system bodies have widely dispersed orbital poles, posing challenges to dynamical models of origin and evolution. To characterize the orbit pole distribution groups small it helps a functional form for model function. Previous studies used small-inclination approximation adopted variations normal inclination dispersions. Because is directional variable, its can be more appropriately...
