A numerical model has been used to characterize the development of a region of 6 enhanced cooling, in an alpine valley with a width of order 10 km, under decoupled stable 7 conditions. The region of enhanced cooling develops largely as a region of relatively dry 8 air that partitions the valley atmosphere dynamics into two volumes, with air flows partially 9 trapped within the valley by a devel...

According to the sounding rocket experiment conducted at Hainan ionospheric observatory (19.5 N, 109.1 E), a valley between the E layer and F layer in the ionospheric electron density profile is observed and presented. The sounding rocket was launched in the morning (06:15 LT) on 7 May 2011, and the observed electron density profile outside the valley agrees with the simultaneous observation by...

We present a theoretical study of the Pauli or spin-valley blockade for double quantum dots in semiconducting carbon nanotubes. In our model, we take into account the following characteristic features of carbon nanotubes: i fourfold spin and valley degeneracy of the quantum-dot levels, ii the intrinsic spin-orbit interaction which is enhanced by the tube curvature, and iii valley mixing due to ...

A geomorphological investigation was conducted in Fox Creek valley within the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve, Chase County, Kansas. During the first stage of the study, Quaternary landforms were defined and mapped in the valley. This was followed by inspection of cutbank exposures along the creek and deep coring across the valley floor. Subsurface information gleaned from the exposures and...

air pollution is a problem in kathmandu, nepal. particulate matter concentrations often exceed threshold values at which human health is severely affected. the problem is serious since it is in the valley topography wherein the meteorological parameters role is significant. this study addresses the linkages between meteorological processes and air pollution in the lower atmosphere of the kathma...

A major impediment to an understanding of the links between climate and landscape change, has been the relatively coarse resolution of landscape response measures (rates of weathering, sediment production, erosion and transport) relative to the higher resolution of the climatic signal (precipitation and temperature on hourly to annual time scales). A combination of high temporal and spatial res...

Karangsambung, located in Central Java, Indonesia has complex geological conditions of the tectonic evolution Java Island due to subduction process India-Australia plate with Eurasian Cretaceous-Paleocene. The movements zone have resulted diverse structures and rock types impact morphological shape study area. level activity area can be determined using a geomorphological approach. A digital el...
