Many animal social structures are organized hierarchically, with some individuals monopolizing resources. Dominance hierarchies have received great attention from behavioural and evolutionary ecologists. There are many methods for inferring hierarchies from social interactions. Yet, there are no clear guidelines about how many observed dominance interactions (i.e. sampling effort) are necessary...

Two dimensional slope profile morphometric investigation in a part of the land failure prone Garhwal region of the Lesser Himalaya, Tehri district, U. P., India, indicates that the landslip morphology is closely related to the dominant movement processes active in this terrain. Technique developed for the morphometric analysis of landslips involves the use of five morphometric indices. Each ind...

Physical model tests have been performed to study wave overtopping at rubble mound breakwaters, including breakwaters with a crest wall, berm, and wall berm. For structures protruding or stable limited information is available in literature even though walls berms clearly affect discharges. Adding an existing structure, increasing the height of adding width can be effective measures account for...

The empirical soil loss model, RUSLE, was used in conjunction with remotely sensed data and geographic information system technology to delineate the erosion watershed priorities terms of conservation practices at seven boundary sub-watersheds (labeled as SW-00, SW-01, …, SW-06) between Iraq Iran district Ali Al-Gharbi, southern Iraq. six factors RUSLE i.e., rainfall erosivity, erodibility, slo...

Abstract Soil erosion is a major environmental problem that affects people's livelihoods and health, particularly in developing countries. The present study aimed to identify soil hotspot areas prioritization the Anger River sub-basin for conservation planning. Revised Universal Loss Equation (RUSLE) model geospatial technologies were adopted of sub-watershed Key parameters such as rainfall dat...

Land use and land cover (LULC) change have intense implications on soil resources, that requires research attention global collaboration to take urgent actions. The present study attempted analyze the impact of LULC erosion sedimentation in Muger Sub-basin, southwestern parts Ethiopia. Landsat TM 1986, ETM+ 2003, OLI/TIRS 2020 are used for analysis. We rainfall erosivity, erodibility, slope len...

Abstract Breaking wave effect on Wave Energy Converter (WEC) represents an important issue of site selection analysis especially fringing reefs area. To learn a more acceptable sense the influence this effect, introspection estimate initial breaker points is proposed in present study. The paper describes investigation impact assessment wave-breaking criteria subjected to WEC recently desired as...

Neurons in the dorsal nucleus of the lateral lemniscus (DNLL) receive excitatory and inhibitory inputs from the superior olivary complex (SOC) and convey GABAergic inhibition to the contralateral DNLL and the inferior colliculi. Unlike the fast glycinergic inhibition in the SOC, this GABAergic inhibition outlasts auditory stimulation by tens of milliseconds. Two mechanisms have been postulated ...
