Landscape evolution at extensional relay zones

Mechanics of low-angle extensional shear zones at the brittle-ductile transition

SNR Maximization at CSI Aware AF Relay

This paper concerns two-hop communication over relay-assisted Block fading channel. It is assumed there is not a direct link between the transmitter and the affiliated destination and the communication occurs in two hops through the use of a relay, where the amplify and forward (AF) strategy is employed at this node. In this case, in a Rayleigh block fading channel, the optimal weight function ...

Evolution Characteristics of Landscape Ecological Risk Patterns in Coastal Zones in Zhejiang Province, China

Analyzing evolution characteristics of landscape ecological risk patterns would help establish ecological risk early warning mechanism, reduce the ecological risk probability and promote coastal landscape pattern optimization. In this study, landscape pattern indices were first calculated by using multitemporal Landsat TM images acquired in years 1990, 2000 and 2010, then landscape ecological r...

Landscape evolution models

Geomorphology is the study of Earth’s landforms and the processes that shape them. From its beginnings, geomorphology has embraced a historical approach to understanding landforms; the concept of evolving landforms is firmly ingrained in geomorphic thought. Modern process geomorphologists use the term landscape evolution to describe the interactions between form and process that are played out ...

The Evolution of Landscape

Earth’s landscape is continually evolving as land uplifted by tectonic and volcanic processes is eroded by water, ice, and wind. On Earth, the dominant landforms have been produced by the action of rivers and glaciers transporting material from mountains to the sea. The amount and proportion of water and ice available for changing the landscape are both sensitive to climatic regime, so that a s...
