Abstract:
The stability of cut slopes is greatly influenced by seasonal pore-water pressure variations under the combined effect of rainfall and vegetation. However, predicting soil–atmosphere interaction is not straightforward, due to the complexity of both the boundary conditions involved and the hydromechanical behaviour of soils, which is coupled and highly nonlinear, rendering the use of numerical tools, such as finite element analysis, necessary. This paper discusses the numerical modelling of soil–atmosphere interaction and presents the analysis of a slope cut in London clay in a highly vegetated

Abstract:
Global greening over the past 30 years since 1980s has been confirmed by numerous studies. However, a single-dimensional indicator and non-spatial modelling approaches might exacerbate uncertainties in our understanding of global change. Thus, comprehensive monitoring for vegetation’s various properties and spatially explicit models are required. In this study, we used the newest enhanced vegetation index (EVI) products of Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Collection 6 to detect the inconsistency trend of annual peak and average global vegetation growth using the Mann–Kenda

We present a novel level-of-detail selection method for real-time rendering, which works on hierarchies of discrete and continuous representations. We integrate smoothly represented, point-rendered objects with discrete polygonal geometry and demonstrate our approach in a terrain-flyover application. In this testing application the digital elevation model is augmented with forests in accordance with satellite data. The vegetation is rendered as a continuous sequence of splats generated from a procedural description. Further, we discuss enhancements to our basic method to improve its scalabilit

Abstract:
Increased ecosystem loading with inorganic nitrogen compounds derived from anthropogenic sources has been proposed to prolong vegetative growth of spruce, rendering them more susceptible to winter injury. Severely nutrient-deficient 4-year-old red spruce (Picearubens Sarg.) seedlings and adequately fertilized seedlings were provided with synthetic cloud water lacking or containing nitrate, ammonium, or both, for a full growing season, and then exposed to normal winter chilling. Needles from these seedlings were stressed at −25 or −30 °C, and freezing injury was measured as ion leakage. Cloud w

Abstract:
AbstractThe dynamics of gravitational processes (e.g. landslides) is altered due to variation in climatic parameters. We have recorded an increasing number of such events which affect human settlements. The most important aspect that has to be emphasized is the way gravitational processes change and condition land utilization. Due to these circumstances, the analysis of these processes has great importance within the middle sector of the Jiu Valley. In order to correlate the occurrence of gravitational processes with climatic data, we have been collecting data within this valley sector during

AbstractMirror symmetry is an abundant feature in both nature and technology. Its successful detection is critical for perception procedures based on visual stimuli and requires organizational processes. Neuromorphic computing, utilizing brain-mimicked networks, could be a technology-solution providing such perceptual organization functionality, and furthermore has made tremendous advances in computing efficiency by applying a spiking model of information. Spiking models inherently maximize efficiency in noisy environments by placing the energy of the signal in a minimal time. However, many ne

AbstractIn the present article, the results of the first-stage of monitoring, following restoration works on a small Mediterranean wetland (Lake Stagnone, Capraia Island, Tuscan Archipelago), are reported. The recent spread of Typha and Phragmites in the lake changed diversity and composition of the plant communities. Nine years after their first monitoring (2009), a rarefaction of hydrophytes and small helophytes of conservation interest was detected. In 2010, the restoration started with the aim to remove (or at least reduce) the populations of the large, expansive helophytes. In 2012, the f

ABSTRACT Coseismic surface fault displacement presents a serious potential hazard for structures and for lifeline infrastructure. Distributed lifeline infrastructure tends to cover large distances and may cross faults in multiple locations, especially in active tectonic regions like California. However, fault displacement measurements for engineering applications are quite sparse, rendering the development of predictive models extremely difficult and fraught with large uncertainties. Detailed fault surface rupture mapping products exist for a few documented cases, but they may not capture the

Abstract Precise directional control of pollen tube growth via mechanical guidance by pistil tissue is critical for the successful fertilization of flowering plants and requires active cell-to-cell communication and maintenance of softness in the transmitting tissue.

Here we report that regulation of pectin methylesterification supports pollen elongation through pistil transmitting tissues in Oryza sativa. The rice pectin methylesterase gene OsPMT10 was stron

Background: Vip3Aa is a vegetative insecticidal protein produced by Bacillus thuringiensis. The protein is produced as an 88- kDa protoxin that could be processed by insect gut proteases into a 22-kDa N-terminal and a 66-kDa Cterminal fragments. The C-terminal part could bind to a specific receptor while the N-terminal part is required for toxicity and structural stability. Objective: To demonstrate the antagonistic effect of truncated fragments on the insecticidal activity of the full-length Vip3Aa.

Introduction Like many cities, Perth was founded on wetlands that have been integral to its history and culture (Seddon 226–32). However, in order to promote a settlement agenda, early mapmakers sought to erase the city’s wetlands from cartographic depictions (Giblett, Cities). Since the colonial era, inner-Perth’s swamps and lakes have been drained, filled, significantly reduced in size, or otherwise reclaimed for urban expansion (Bekle). N
