Transient dynamics are of large interest in many areas of science. Here, a generalization of basin stability (BS) is presented: constrained basin stability (CBS) that is sensitive to various different types of transients arising from finite size perturbations. CBS is applied to the paradigmatic Lorenz system for uncovering nonlinear precursory phenomena of a boundary crisis bifurcation. Further...

Abstract The current study used remote sensing, GIS, and seismic data to determine the geological morphometric parameters of Wadi Beda Basin area, which is located in northwestern part Gulf Suez Province. geomorphic related with development neotectonics are deduced using Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM), DEM-derived catchments, drainage networks research area. most important applied area...

[1] Geomorphic mapping of a 1 million square kilometer section of Terra Cimmeria on Mars (1:1M scale) indicates that prolonged, intense fluvial erosion occurred during the period of heavy bombardment. Crater counts date the termination of ubiquitous, intense erosion to the late Noachian, although some valleys may have continued downcutting into the early Hesperian. Stratigraphic and topographic...

Large closed basins are often associated with regions of active tectonics. In contrast, we provide the example of the Great Divide Basin, in southern Wyoming, where climate change, through its impact on erosion and fl exure, provides the primary mechanism of basin closure. Twoand three-dimensional fl exural models that incorporate the effects of local basin abandonment due to aridity as well as...

The Guadix Basin developed as an endorheic depression during the Upper Miocene–Upper Pleistocene. Its principal palaeogeographical characteristics are a large lake in the eastern sector, an axial fluvial system and two fluvial systems transverse to it in the western sector. The uplift of a central sector of the Betic Cordillera during the Upper Pleistocene affected the study area, causing north...

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...

Cell-to-cell surface flow paths are commonly derived from gridded digital elevation models (DEM) by choosing the direction of steepest descent to one of the eight surrounding cells. However, adequate DEMs often are not available. We developed a topography-independent method for creating gridded, land and stream drainage direction maps based on corrected vector river networks. We applied it to t...

Within the Deschutes River basin of central Oregon, the geology, hydrology, and physiography influence geomoqhic and ecologic processes at a variety of temporal and spatial scales. Hydrologic and physiographic characteristics of the basin are related to underlying geologic materials. In the southwestern part of the basin, Quaternary volcanism and tectonism has created basin fills and covered an...

we report a young male with an initial excisional biopsy report of melanoma of the lower back, referred to our hospital for complete excision and sentinel lymph node (sln) biopsy.  four peritumoral intradermal tc-99m phytate injection was performed and slns were detected in both axillary and right inguinal regions. on the biopsy only the right axillary sln was metastatic leading to right axilla...
