b. Dead-end streets shall be approved only in situations where connecting roads are not possible due to conditions such as topography and wetlands in order to maintain rural character and the capacity of major roadways for a larger population base. A deadend street, whether temporary or ...
slip slopemaximum friction coefficientEKFIn this article, a new approach to estimate the vehicle tyre forces, tyreroad maximum friction coefficient, and slip slope is presented. Contrary to the majority of the previous work on this subject, a new tyre model for the estimation of the tyreroad ...
Questions include when and where increased runoff from trail and unpaved road surfaces has influenced patterns of landslides and gullies to a greater degree than what would be expected from background processes and controls, such as precipitation intensity, vegetation, soils, and slope characteristics....
Unfortunately, the fact that the cause of more than half of all forest fires is unknown creates a major deficiency in forest fire prevention and prediction. On the other hand, when the yearly distribution of wildfire causes is analyzed, there is a significant increase due to other causes. The...
A virtual surgery was then performed on the proximal tibia at a level 8 mm below the lateral tibial plateau with a posterior slope of 7°, which had been found to be a superior slope degree for tibial component placement based on a previous study20 (Fig. 1). All the coordinates and ...
(1) to develop a new subsidence detection method that integrates multi-platform InSAR deformation results; which was then adopted to investigate land subsidence along Beijing high-speed railway; (2) to quantitatively correlate the InSAR-derived subsidence with its major causes along the BHSR using a...
Infinite slope modelLandslidesMaximum entropy modelSediment sourceStabilityPurposeThe purpose of our study was to identify major hillslope sediment sources in a partially urbanized coastal watershed supporting salmonid habitat and to evaluate the use of physical and maximum entropy models in predicting sites...
POP is a major driver of wildfires and has been used as a socioeconomic input variable in various studies [50,51,52,53]. POP data were aggregated at the grid level based on the residential address information from the resident registration system, and the analysis was conducted using data ...
