[1] The Vienna Basin at the transition between the Alpine and Carpathian belt hosts a number of large Pleistocene sub-basins forming along an active continental scale strike-slip fault (Vienna Basin strike-slip fault). We utilize first-order derivatives from industrial Bouguer gravity data to unravel the impacts of Pleistocene kinematics on the Vienna Basin and to compensate for the lack of nea...

A major emphasis in geomorphology over the past several decades has been on the development of quantitative physiographic methods to describe the evolution and behavior of surface drainage networks. The quantitative analysis of morphometric parameters is found to be of immense utility in river basin evaluation. The influence of drainage morphometry is very significant in understanding the landf...

Marine ecosystems are undergoing substantial changes due to human-induced pressures. Analysis of long-term data series is a valuable tool for understanding naturally and anthropogenically induced changes in plankton communities. In the present study, seasonal monitoring data were collected in three sub-basins of the northern Baltic Sea between 1979 and 2011 and statistically analysed for trends...

This study used morphometric techniques to generate new information describing the evolution and hydrogeological behaviour of Limpopo River Basin in Botswana, based on analysis drainage surface features, form, size. Drainage basins provide basic their evolution, which, when quantified, yield interaction between tectonics, climatic, processes. networks were extracted from Shuttle Radar Topograph...

The Kashkan River basin is one of the most important watersheds in the west of Iran, where major urban, agricultural and livestock regions are located in its catchment area. The aim of the study reported here is to evaluate the spatial and long temporal variations of surface water quality in the Kashkan River by using Water Quality Index, which aggregates different parameters and their dimensio...

Dissolved oxygen in the sea is essential for marine fauna and biogeochemical processes. Decline water concentration considered to be an effect of eutrophication, also exacerbated by climate change. The Baltic Sea one most eutrophic seas world located northern Europe. It a vulnerable, brackish, semi-enclosed sea, suffering from high pressures human activity. This leads increased hypoxic anoxic a...

Intelligent Paint provides a new tool for interactively selecting image objects or regions of interest, while simultaneously applying filters or effects directly to the selection(s). By coupling adaptive cost-ordered region growing with the high-level visual expertise of the user to indicate which objects are of interest, we are able to accurately select and edit complex, non-homogeneous object...

BACKGROUND The prognostic significance of multiple draining basins is controversial in melanoma because analyses have not adequately controlled for standard prognostic variables. We hypothesized that an analysis based on prognostically matched pairs of patients with multiple versus single drainage basins would clarify any independent role of basin number. STUDY DESIGN We identified patients i...
