ARMOUR BLOCKS AS SLOPE PROTECTION

SLOPE PROFILE MORPHOMETRY AS AN INDICATOR FOR SLOPE MOVEMENT

Two dimensional slope profile morphometric investigation in a part of the land failure prone Garhwal region of the Lesser Himalaya, Tehri district, U. P., India, indicates that the landslip morphology is closely related to the dominant movement processes active in this terrain. Technique developed for the morphometric analysis of landslips involves the use of five morphometric indices. Each ind...

Bagworm bags as portable armour against invertebrate predators

Some animals have evolved the use of environmental materials as "portable armour" against natural enemies. Portable bags that bagworm larvae (Lepidoptera: Psychidae) construct using their own silk and plant parts are generally believed to play an important role as a physical barrier against natural enemies. However, no experimental studies have tested the importance of bags as portable armour a...

Ergonomic assessment of enhanced protection under body armour combat shirt neck collars.

INTRODUCTION Combat neck injury due to explosively propelled fragments is a significant cause of mortality and long-term morbidity in UK soldiers deployed on current operations. Reinforcing the collar of the existing under body armour combat shirt (UBACS) has been suggested as a potential method for reducing the incidence of combat neck injury. METHOD 20 soldiers serving in Afghanistan object...
