Abstract:

Cultural heritage conservation plays a vital role in safeguarding a society’s identity, history, and legacy, with ancient structures like city gates serving as tangible reflections of past traditions, architectural ingenuity, and socio-political organization. In Bauchi, Nigeria, the ancient city gates constitute an essential element of regional heritage, yet they confront escalating threats from urbanization, environmental degradation, and neglect. Despite geo-information systems (GIS) proving effective in heritage management globally, their application to Bauchi’s city gates has r

Abstract:

Fine sediment accumulation was measured in streams in low-order forest watersheds across a gradient of selective harvesting with no protective riparian buffers. Comparisons were made among sites in selection-cut (40% canopy removal), shelterwood-cut (50% canopy removal), diameter limit cut (about 85% canopy removal), and undisturbed tolerant hardwood catchments. These were further compared with a headwater stream catchment not harvested but affected by logging road activities. The greatest increases in fine inorganic sediment occurred at the road-improvement site with mean bedload estimates mo

Abstract:

Buffer zones are ecotones between upland areas and adjacent water bodies. They often consist of plant communities that stabilize shorelines, act as barriers reducing transport of fertilizer and lawn debris into water bodies, uptake nutrients and heavy metals, and provide habitat for wildlife. Few regulations exist that require vegetated buffers around stormwater ponds, and their widespread implementation has not occurred around ponds in coastal South Carolina. This lack of regulation on buffer requirements has potentially reduced the effectiveness of stormwater ponds and highlights the need to

Abstract:

Abstract Vegetative buffer strips are being widely promoted as an effective technique to protect rivers and streams from the negative impacts of adjacent land uses including forestry and agriculture. An extensive review of the literature revealed that despite the intuitive appeal of buffer strips, data demonstrating their efficacy is highly variable and most studies demonstrating significant nutrient removal in buffer zones come from studies undertaken in riparian buffers greater than 30 m wide. These buffers are much wider than what land managers can typically expect farmers to remove from ac

Abstract:

Most SSDs (solid-state drives) use an internal DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) to improve the I/O performance and extend SSD lifespan by absorbing write requests. However, this volatile memory does not guarantee the persistence of buffered data in the event of sudden power-off. Therefore, highly reliable enterprise SSDs employ power-loss-protection (PLP) logic to ensure the durability of buffered data using the back-up power of capacitors. The SSD must provide enough capacitors for the PLP in proportion to the size of the volatile buffer. Meanwhile, emerging ZNS (Zoned Namespace) SSDs are

Abstract:

Abstract Buffer zones are narrow strips of land lying along the surface water, covered with appropriately selected vegetation. They separate aquatic ecosystems from the direct impact of agricultural land and reduce the movement of nutrients in the environment. In 2008 the European Commission established requirements for the implementation of buffer strips along water courses. Poland committed to the enforcement of these requirements until 1 January 2012. This was one of the reasons of this study. The subject of the analysis included the following rivers in Lower Silesia: Smortawa, Krynka, Czar

This practice had human rights implications. Beginning in the 1970s, the idea flourished that the defense of individual human rights was a transnational mandate that extended beyond the protections granted by particular nation-states.

Abstract:

Introduction: Buffer zones in the context of World Heritage sites play an important role in protecting historic monuments and buildings, as well as their adjacent conservation areas, from disruptions caused by urban development. However, properties within the boundaries of buffer zones may be subject to legislative limitations and restricted construction regulations. This may affect the market value of these properties and make them unfavorable for public and private investors. Purpose of the study: The study aims to critically analyze the impact of buffer zone policy on urban development, spe

Abstract:

Existing methods of reducing livestock depredation are heavily biased towards lethal control. However, criticism regarding the efficacy of such practices is rising. In Australia, over 200 years of lethal control has done little to resolve the conflict between dingoes (Canis dingo) and livestock producers. That is, killing dingoes does not necessarily prevent livestock losses. Rather than continuing with lethal control programs, there is an opportunity to shift to more innovative, effective and ethical non-lethal measures of protecting livestock from attacks. Traditionally, buffer zones (areas

Abstract:

This study explored the characteristics of benthic animal communities in different water functional areas and the driving factors affecting changes in the community structure of four water functional zones of the Jiangsu section of the Yangtze River: the protection, buffer, reserve, and development and utilization zones. The results showed that the alpha diversity of the benthic animal communities in the protected and reserved zones was significantly higher than that of the buffer and development and utilization zones, and the benthic animal community structure differed significantly across di

Abstract:

&nbsp;Biotic agents driven spruce decline has been observed over several regions in Europe. We studied the spatial pattern of spruce stands mortality due to biotic agents in three spruce dominated regions in Slovakia &ndash; the Kysuce, Orava and Low Tatras regions. Regularly reported data on sanitary felling were used for the analysis. Geostatistical techniques and other spatial modelling tools were used to design the zones of biotic hazard for each region. Zone A stands for the totally disintegrated stands with extremely elevated activity of biotic agents. Zone B represents the buffe

Abstract:

The conservation and restoration of degraded ecosystems, exemplified by Rwanda's Gishwati Forest, are vital for preserving biodiversity, maintaining ecological balance, and ensuring sustainable resource utilization. This study aims to evaluate the impact of buffer zone implementation on the restoration and conservation of Gishwati Forest Reserve, comparing its status before and after buffer zone establishment. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research combined Geographic Information System (GIS) analysis of land use/land cover (LULC) changes with questionnaires (360 respondents) and int

Abstract:

Ensuring the preservation of historical and cultural heritage has become a significant challenge for small towns in the era of globalisation and urbanisation. Protection zones (buffer zones) of cultural heritage objects (CHOs) are the primary means of urban planning protection, helping to safeguard the authenticity and individuality of small towns while ensuring their sustainable development. This article presents the results of developing measures for the urban planning protection of the town of Kozelshchyna in the Poltava region, Ukraine.

Abstract:

Riparian buffer zones along urban rivers play a crucial role in maintaining the ecological stability of city environments. They serve as multifunctional landscape elements that mitigate the impacts of anthropogenic pressure, contribute to water purification, preserve biodiversity, and regulate hydrological processes. However, in rapidly urbanising settings, the functional integrity of these zones is frequently compromised. This study presents geospatial analysis of land-use transformations within the riparian buffer zones of the Lopan River in Kharkiv, Ukraine, with the objective of evaluating
