A rare landform : Yerköprü travertine bridges in the Taurids Karst Range, Turkey
Two examples of travertine bridges are observed at 8 to 15 m above stream level in the Lower Zamanti Basin, Eastern Taurids. Yerköprü-1 and Yerkoprü-2 bridges are currently being deposited from cool karstic groundwaters. The interplay
of hydrogeological structure, local topography, calcite-saturated hanging springs, algal activity and rapid downcutting in the streambed appear to have led to the formation of travertine bridges. Aeration through cascades and algal uptake causes efficient carbon
Location analysis of bridges and its application in urban traffic planning in China.
Cities are often divided by barriers such as rivers or railway lines. Bridges provide the vital link that restores the unity of these cities, but their location and number bear great significance on the efficiency of the total road network. Based
on examples from several cities an allocation model is derived for the location of bridges that takes into account the factor of through traffic capacity as well. (TNC).
The soil erosion bridge: a device for micro-profiling soil surfaces
The soil erosion bridge is a simple, robust, cheap, lightweight device comprising a bar which, when mounted on two stakes, provides a stable datum for micro-profiling the soil surface beneath. Its main advantage over similar devices is the unique
Infrastructure construction in the Longhai-Lanxin economic belt of China along new Asian-European continental bridge
The newly opened Asian European continental land bridge will provide a great opportunity for all the regions along its sides to speed up their economic growth. The paper focuses on evaluating the changing pattern of economic growth in the regions

Bridging East and West : Muslim-identified activists and organisations in the UK anti-war movements
Through interviews with Muslim-identified and other British anti-war activists, the paper traces the making of a new bridge between the East and the West. It then goes on to examine the limitations of this political model and describe the search
Containerization and the Trans-Siberian land bridge
The use of high-capacity commercial containers has increased rapidly in trade between far eastern countries, principally Japan, and western Europe across the trans-Siberian land bridge during the past decade. Use of the route has been part
Landslide soils and geomorphology in Bridger-Teton National Forest, Northwest Wyoming
In this study, soil and geomorphic properties related to landslide occurence were studied at 18 landslides in the Bridger-Teton National Forest (BTNF). Landslides were categorized as active or inactive based on geomorphic features. Landslide soil
