Permanent preservation areas reduce the exposure of sediments and nutrients in aquatic medium improve quality water. The analysis natural features anthropic use rivers’ surroundings makes it possible detecting potential ecological unbalance. This study analyzed emerging environmental fragility Preservation Areas (PPA). Environmental fragilities around drainage composing sub-basin were assessed ...

Many binary halftoning algorithms tend to render extreme tones (i.e., very light or very dark tones) with objectionable dot distributions. To alleviate this artifact, we introduce a halftone postprocessing algorithm called the Springs algorithm. The objective of Springs is to rearrange minority pixels in affected regions for a smoother, more attractive rendition. In this paper, we describe the ...

Springs are used for a wide range of applications in physics and engineering. Possibly, one of its most common uses is to study the nature of restoring forces in oscillatory systems. While experiments that verify the Hooke’s law using springs are abundant in the physics literature, those that explore the combination of several springs together are very rare. In this paper, an experiment designe...

[1] Circulating groundwater transports heat. If groundwater flow velocities are sufficiently high, most of the subsurface heat transport can occur by advection. This is the case, for example, in the Cascades volcanic arc where much of the background geothermal heat is transported advectively and then discharged when the groundwater emerges at springs. The temperature of spring water can thus be...

Pilgrim Hot Springs has a known shallow geothermal reservoir with temperatures approaching 91 ̊C in the top 100 meters of the system that underlies the main hot springs area of 1.5 km. The deeper reservoir is less understood with similar temperatures at the basement surface 320 meters directly beneath the hot springs. The aspect of this research is to create a stratigraphic model and delineate p...
