Membrane organelles often have complicated shapes and differ in their volume, surface area and membrane curvature. The ratio between the surface area of the cytosolic and luminal leaflets (trans-membrane area asymmetry (TAA)) determines the membrane curvature within different sites of the organelle. Thus, the shape of the organelle could be critically dependent on TAA. Here, using mathematical ...

Riverbanks undergo changes caused not only by river hydraulics, mainly sediment erosion and deposition processes, but also the possible landslides that eventually change channel bank profiles. Those failures are an important form of alluvial adjustments usually difficult to include during morphodynamic modeling. This paper proposes a novel approach combining 2D depth-averaged hydrodynamic, tran...

Geocells are increasingly used in engineering applications, but the design of riverbank slope reinforcements that use only geocells limits reinforcement performance. Moreover, and anti-slide piles with mainly based on experiences unsupported by theoretical models. In this paper, combining confinement effect vertical action mechanism geocells, horizontal friction geocell layer support piles, a m...

Human settlements experience continual change. In recent years, many rural areas have experienced dispersed grow (rural sprawl) and population declines in traditional village centers (Hollowing). These paradoxical phenomena have occurred in most developing countries, including rural Iran. This study examines this phenomena in three Iranian villages of Kahak area of Qom province, and develops a ...

In recent years, rural transformation has gradually become the focus of scholars and governments in the context of global sustainable development; it is of great significance to achieve urban-rural integration and coordinated development through studying the spatial-temporal characteristics and driving mechanism of rural transformation development. This paper analyzes the spatial-temporal chara...

A riverbank revitalization program is being carried out to overcome the problem of slum areas and restore role river. Many local governments in Indonesia are working revitalize riverbanks, with Yogyakarta one them. As a special region Indonesia, government has implemented Mundur, Munggah, Madhep Kali (M3K) program, under Government Regulation (PP) No. 38 2011, manage conservation, development, ...

The quality of a watershed can be seen from the discharge river flow. Watershed also sedimentation found in water flows and bodies. Sedimentation is sediment produced by erosion process carried flow deposited place where velocity smaller than settling velocity. This research was conducted intake area Musi Hydroelectric Watershed, Ujan Mas District, Kepahiang Regency, Bengkulu Province August – ...
