This paper describes the architecture of a generic platform for building distributed systems over stand alone applications. The proposed platform integrates ideas and technology from areas such as distributed and parallel databases, transaction processing systems, and workkow management. The main contribution of this research eeort is to propose a \kernel" system providing the \essentials" for ...

Contribution of Vegetation to Alleviate Slope’s Erosion and Acidity

Dynamics of Vegetation and Runoff Erosion

Modeling aeolian erosion in presence of vegetation

Semiarid landscapes are characterized by vegetated surfaces. Understanding the impact of vegetation on aeolian soil erosion is important for reducing soil erosion or limiting crop damage through abrasion or burial. In the present study, a saltation model fully coupled with a large-eddy simulation airflow model is extended to vegetated landscapes. From this model, the sensitivity of sand erosion...
