Surface growth models may give rise to unstable growth with mound formation whose tipical linear size L increases in time (coarsening process). In one dimension coarsening is generally driven by an attractive interaction between domain walls or kinks. This picture applies to growth models where the largest surface slope remains constant in time (corresponding to model B of dynamics): coarsening...

The article analyzes 278 skeletons or graves from the Astrakhantsevsky burial mound (ABM), Basandaysky (BBM), and at mouth of Malaya Kirgiska River (MKBM) where were broken. These sites can be attributed to Basandaika Culture. They are located in Tomsky Shegarsky districts Tomsk Region. In all these mounds seven orientations identified: NE-SW, NNE-SSW, NW-SE, NNWSSE, NS, WE, WNW-ESE. indicating...

Recent reports indicate that populations of the black sea urchin Diadema antillarum are slowly coming back in several localities in the Caribbean after 15 years of absence. In La Parguera, Puerto Rico, urchins were totally absent from reef localities until 1996, when isolated, medium size individuals were observed in shallow reef habitats. To assess the status (distribution, densities and size ...

We examined the morphology of male genitalia six Muridae and five Cricetidae in Muroidea focusing on medial lateral bacular mounds, as well their ossification patterns to discuss diversity movement mechanism trident structure. All species possessed a mound two which collectively formed In species, was ossified or consisted cartilage, while mounds were composed soft tissue. By contrast, both spe...

hydrodynamics and sediment transport model used to determine the longand short-term stability of dredged material mounds. This technical note (TN) introduces a new cohesive sediment transport submodel for LTFATE, which includes a combined current-wave shear stress calculation and a layered sediment bed model. LTFATE can be accessed via the Internet at the following address: http://www.wes.army....

The distribution of mounds, plazas, and defensive palisades associated with Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site (CMSHS) defines the core urban environment Eastern North America’s first American Indian city. large mounds surrounding Cahokia’s centrally located Grand Plaza, including that enclose them, are referred to as Downtown Cahokia. In this portion site, archaeologists have identified materi...

The margin of Chryse Planitia, Mars, contains >105 kilometer-scale mesas, buttes, and plateaus (“mounds”), many which are found in around Oxia Planum, the ExoMars 2022 Rover landing site. Despite this, their origins evolution unknown. We have analyzed morphologies morphometries 14,386 individual mounds to: (1) classify them based on geomorphology; (2) constrain when they formed stratigraphic sp...

CrN layers, 0.5 mm thick, were grown on MgO~001! at Ts5570– 775 °C by ultrahigh vacuum magnetically unbalanced magnetron sputter deposition in pure N2 discharges at 20 mTorr. Layers grown at Ts<700 °C are stoichiometric single crystals exhibiting cube-on-cube epitaxy: (001)CrNuu(001)MgO with @100#CrNuu@100#MgO . At higher temperatures, N2 desorption during deposition results in understoichiomet...

In this study, we mapped the distribution of Cold-Water Coral (CWC) habitats on the northern Ionian Margin (Mediterranean Sea), with an emphasis on assessing coral coverage at various spatial scales over an area of 2,000 km(2) between 120 and 1,400 m of water depth. Our work made use of a set of data obtained from ship-based research surveys. Multi-scale seafloor mapping data, video inspections...
