Abstract Globally vegetation cover on coastal sand dunes has increased since at least the 1950s. With aim of restoring or increasing biodiversity, land managers in several countries have removed and/or reprofiled dune slopes to reinvigorate geomorphic activity. However, longevity these interventions can be relatively short (on order 5 10 years), and further active management is required. Hypoth...

Though danger prediction and countermeasures for landslides are important, it is fundamentally difficult to take preventive measures in all areas susceptible dangerous landslides. Therefore, necessary perform landslide susceptibility mapping, extract slopes with high hazard/risk, prioritize locations conducting investigations countermeasures. In this study, mapping along the whole slope of Japa...

Abstract This paper proposes a space–time Trefftz method (STM) to study the seepage mechanism and stability of unsaturated slopes. The groundwater flow under transient conditions is important in engineering practice for solving practical problems such as assessing soil Based on equation, we derived basis functions by splitting variables. solutions are approximated using domain. Stabl software s...

We survey the progress (or lack thereof!) that has been made on some questions about the p-adic slopes of modular forms that were raised by the first author in [Buz05], discuss strategies for making further progress, and examine other related questions.

16 When increasing the rates of subcritical flow on gentle slopes, the bed successively produces 17 ripples, dunes and flat beds. Antidunes (defined here as all bed undulations for which the 18 surface gravity waves are in phase with the bed profile) appear only in high flow rates and 19 may be found in some extreme natural flow events. Inversely, on steep slopes flume 20 experiment (S≥1% appro...

of comments and calculations The slope stability equation and values for material properties recommended by USGS geologist Dr. Raymond Wilson were used to map the stability regime of the four units of THP 1-97-307 HUM and the two units of THP 1-96-413 HUM. When calculations are carried out for conditions without trees, results indicate that each unit includes significant areas that would be exp...

We study here slopes of periodicity of tilings. A tiling is of slope θ if it is periodic along direction θ but has no other direction of periodicity. We characterize in this paper the set of slopes we can achieve with tilings, and prove they coincide with recursively enumerable sets of rationals.

In order to mitigate hazards of mass failure, the first step is the identification of potentially unstable slopes, resulting in a landslide susceptibility map. Satellite imagery is an important component in the derivation of critical parameters. Susceptibility maps can be constructed in a variety of ways, including multivariate statistics, heuristic models, and geotechnical models. Each method ...

We measured horse density, social structure, habitat use, home ranges and altitudinal micro-climates in the south-western Kaimanawa ranges east of Waiouru, New Zealand. Horse density in the Auahitotara ecological sector averaged 3.6 horses.km and ranged from 0.9 to 5.2 horses.km within different zones. The population’s social structure was like that of other feral horse populations with an even...
