landscapes,   etc   ; isotropy; mechanics; models;     Show all 4 Subjects
Abstract:
... Endogenic and exogenic models have been developed over the past 25 years to explain the development of extensive, pervasive, high aspect ratio troughs and graben-like structures (“ribbons”) and short- to long-wavelength folds in tessera terrains, commonly associated with crustal plateaus on Venus. Many of the models are complex, and appear to be both internally contradictory and inconsistent with ...

Abstract:
... In this study, a method based on the Navier-Stokes equation was developed to simulate the dam break flow. The free surface movement of water is carried out using the Newtonian fluid model, and the mud impurity movement is performed by the model of non-Newtonian fluid based on the volume of fluid (VOF) method. In order to minimize the fluctuations of the free surface near a moving front, the VOF me ...

Abstract:
... The rural landscape is “the dwelling place” of rural residents who generate a unique landscape through their daily activities. In order to strengthen the resident-led landscape management in rural areas, this study intends to gauge how and to what extent such rural landscapes are unique, as these landscapes are not easily appraised by existing landscape assessments that rely mainly on visual crite ...

Abstract:
... Iconographical landscape warfare is one example of conflict that refers to a broad spectrum of encounters between opposing social groups who share a common reading of cultural landscapes. This 'warfare' ranges from expressions of violent force to seemingly banal everyday practices. Iconographical landscape warfare works through a dual process of denaturalising/renaturalising landscapes, where the ...

Abstract:
... As the resolution of DEMs is becoming higher, both the efficiency and accuracy of channel head recognition are important for drainage network extraction. In this paper, a D8-compatible high-efficient channel head recognition method is proposed. For each potential channel, this method first calculates a geomorphologic parameter series along the flow path, and then determines the channel head by det ...

Abstract:
... Complex dune-field landscape patterns (i.e., dune morphologies and their spatial arrangements) are recognized as indicators of dune self-organization and are required for investigating dune-field landscapes from remotely sensed images. However, dune-field landscape pattern maps are rarely available due to the insufficient attention paid to representing dune-field landscape mosaics and the labor-in ...

Abstract:
... The 2030 Agenda includes 17 overarching Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These are integrated in nature, and a principle of indivisibility should guide their implementation. Yet, the 2030 Agenda itself does not provide guidance on what indivisibility means in practice, how the SDGs interact, or on how to assess these interactions. The fast-emerging field of what could be referred to as SDG in ...

Abstract:
... There is no comprehensive scholarship, which compares cases of how chieftaincies foster or hinder urban land use in Africa. What seems to exist are disparate pieces of literature focusing on different cases without offering a diagnostic picture of the way constitutions and statutes have been crafted across regions. The paper advances the argument that urbanisation is a reality and a sweeping force ...

Abstract:
... For forty years, Germany was cut in two, its internal border a legacy of the Second World War and ground zero of the Cold War. But the border region, shaped for decades by demographic and economic decline, became an ecological refuge for many of Germany’s endangered plant and animal species. When the wall fell in 1989, conservationists launched an effort to protect the former borderlands and conve ...

In this study, a coarse-grained Monte Carlo simulation approach is laid out to assess the structural properties of Gibbs monolayers, in which one of the counterionic species is partially soluble. It is shown that the composition of this type of monolayer ...

... Land ownership fragmentation is currently a very topical issue in Slovakia. In particular, small farmers complain that even 30 years after the end of the previous (“real socialist”) regime, there has been no significant change in the structure of agricultural land use. The subject of the article is not the land fragmentation in terms of use. In Slovakia, the problem is rather the opposite. This co ...
