of the slip surface; and final shape of the model slope after down-slope displacement of the failure masses. Moisture profiles at different points within the model slope soil domain and the profile of surface-water forefront were also reported
an unstable zone toward up-slope. Failure initiating toward the head reach may propagate down-slope and then up-slope.
Based on the energy consumption, integrated with the Top-Down life cycle approach and geographically weighted regression (GWR) model, this paper analyzed the spatial differences and multi-mechanism of carbon footprint in provincial China in 2010
. Firstly, the AA. calculated the amount of carbon footprint of each province using “Top-Down” life cycle approach and found that there were significant differences. Secondly, with the aid of GIS and spatial analysis model (GWR model), this paper had
grow in a sequential pattern. Cities with the best economic conditions are the first to grow fastest until they reach a critical size, then their growth rates slow down and the smaller cities farther down in the urban hierarchy become the fastest
are more common in basins where bedding dips up-basin, while scoured surfaces are more prevalent where bedding dips down-basin. The significance of jointing in controlling glacial erosional forms is well established and the AA. propose that bedding, as well
bedding dips down-basin, block geometry does not favour the creation of overdeepenings via quarrying and exposed bedding planes are subjected to glacial abrasion, producing scoured surfaces.
Party (PT), won the gubernatorial election. While the ascent of the PT was saluted as spearheading Bahia’s democratization, numerous observers have signaled important elements of continuity, including personalism, clientelism, and top-down decision
, indicating that the impacts of Web 2.0 have not touched down evenly within the central county of the Columbus metropolitan statistical area. We argue that an intraurban digital divide is still apparent and might even be exacerbated by Web 2.0.
by Bruno Latour. It also considers the ambiguous nature of the Inquest, and the way in which it both opened space for public debate and alternative conceptions of futurity; and closed down such space by accepting and normalising notions of networked threat.
that arise from top-down government policy and business strategies, whereas in the case of Singapore, it depends more on the internal factors and the market-driven participation of customers in particular. Policy-makers should give particular consideration
This article analyses the reasons for returning and not returning to rural U.S. communities. The life course segment considered here captures a critical “settling down” period when career and family obligations overlap and return migration peaks
. Finally, the AA. develop a previous analysis of the role of roots in transporting soil during growth and decay cycles. They find that even in shallow soils, the root-cycle can drive significant soil transport down forested montane slopes.
resource management and use. The paper suggests that unless the culture of planning and decision making in the state are changed, decentralized strategies will be ineffective, resulting in a predominately top-down approach towards natural resource
This study examines the changes between 1981 and 2006 in Toronto’s lowest income neighbourhoods. It shows that the oldest buildings gentrifying while the newer high-rise apartments in the inner suburbs were filtering down to visible minorities
formation of lateral flow channels at the thawing frost table near the lake. The ensuing recharge of the lake is balanced by drainage from the deepest end of the lake, down the topographic gradient, as ascertained by coring and lake bed mapping
, and to recommend efficient ways to identify these locations. Soil water was measured down to vertical depth intervals using time domain reflectometry and neutron backscattering along a hummocky transect in semiarid central Canada. It is shown that similarities
