The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II requires construction activities to have erosion and sediment control best management practices (BMPs) designed and installed for site storm water management. Although BMPs are specified on storm water pollution prevention plans (SWPPPs) as part of the construction general permit (GP), there is little evidence in the research ...

The modern agricultural complex requires the use of new methods for determining soil characteristics adequate information support latest technologies, which is often impossible to provide using conventional methods. purpose study identify informative value magnetometric in slope processes that regulate certain measures increase fertility and protect soils from erosion. was conducted on inclined...

In thispaperwepresent anewalgorithmbasedonSmoothed 0 (SL0), called Block SL0 (BSL0), for Under-determined Systems of Linear Equations (USLE) in which the nonzero elements of the unknown vector occur in clusters. Contrary to the previous algorithms such as Block Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (BOMP) and mixed / 1 norm, our approach provides a fast algorithm, while providing the same (or better) acc...

The aim of this work was to test a modified version of the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) for assessing the risks of erosion in N. Chalkidiki, Greece. USLE estimates the severity of erosion, thus assisting the decision process in selecting erosion control measures. Although USLE has several limitations, it was selected because it is the simplest approach while remaining robust, and it part...

One of the most common approaches to modelling soil erosion worldwide has been implementation original Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) and its revised version, RUSLE. However, despite widespread use, often there are discrepancies in methods used compute it values elicited for five individual factors that comprise this function. Such pitfalls subsequently skew final results obtained many stu...
