Alberta has 27 million hectares of agricultural land, a significant portion of which is at risk to wind erosion. Combining recently completed provincial digital soils maps (Agricultural Region of Alberta Soil Inventory Database—AGRASID) with geographically referenced spatial weather data and land management descriptions (crop rotations plus cultivation practice) provided an opportunity to evalu...

BACKGROUND Neither clinical prediction models nor noninvasive imaging tests that detect coronary artery calcification identify all patients who experience acute coronary events. Variations in culprit plaque morphology may account for these inaccuracies. METHODS AND RESULTS We compared the 10-year Framingham risk index, histologic coronary calcification, and culprit plaque morphology in 79 con...

The aim of this study is to determine the erosion susceptibility areas in Sapanca Lake Basin. basin located east Marmara Region. Due its natural beauty, transportation opportunities and proximity metropolitan areas, it a preferred area for permanent temporary living. Increasing population growing settlement have created significant changes land cover, depending on situation, sensitivity researc...

The internal erosion of soil results from seepage flow. It appears to be the main cause of severe hydraulic failure for dams and dikes. All around the world, 46% of dams present a risk of internal erosion. In France, 70 critical cases have already been detected. When internal erosion is suspected, the delay to failure is hardly predictable. Then, authorities should be able to develop effective ...

The risk of water erosion is one of the main environmental concerns in the southern Mediterranean regions. Thus, quantification of soil loss is an important issue for soil and water conservation managers. The objective of this paper is to examine the applicability of the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model in The Sarrath river catchment, North of Tunisia, and to identify the most vulner...
