Significance Shallow landslides are destructive and widespread natural hazards, but what controls their size distribution is poorly understood. We present a generalized theory to explain landslide at specific locations by combining mechanistic slope stability model with spatial-statistical description of the variability in hillslope conditions. perform numerical experiments explore how controll...

ceramic ultrafiltration membranes are considered as an alternative for the treatment of both stable water-in-oil and oil-in-water emulsions proved to be more effective in comparison with other conventional techniques. in this study, symmetric macro-porous ceramic membranes are prepared through dry pressing of α-alumina powder and the addition of various binders including poly (vinyl alcohol). t...

w       ater born poly(styrene-butyl acrylate)/clay nanocomposite latexes were synthesized by a novel initiating system of activators generated by   electron transfer (aget) in a system of atom transfer radical polymerization   (atrp). initially, the clay was swelled in a mixture of styrene, butyl acrylate,   and hexadecane. the mixture was then sonicated to obtain a stable miniemulsion. to   s...
