The debris flows in the Taihang Mountain region North China are basically triggered by rainstorms. Firstly, flow susceptibility of Shaling Gully, Lingshou County, Hebei Province, was analyzed this paper to evaluate its hazard and effect on downstream proposed structures. Secondly, maximum depth velocity potential Gully were numerically simulated based FLO-2D model, simulation results indicate t...

Landslides are the most common natural hazard in Piemonte region (northwestern Italy). This study is focused on shallow landslides caused by sliding of surficial detrital-colluvial cover rainfall and characterized a sudden fast evolution. investigates landslide events compared with variables considered as main predisposing qualitative factors (lithology, pedology land use) to obtain zonation su...

In thepresent study,ArtificialNeuralNetwork (ANN)hasbeen implemented toderive ratingsof categories of causative factors, which are then integrated to produce a landslide susceptibility zonation map in an

The city of Tabriz, located in Northwestern Iran, is one the seismo-tectonically active regions Iran. Historical earthquake sequences this area show that recurrence interval earthquakes with M>6 can be estimated equal to 250 years (while some larger M>7 have been reported literature). Based on knowledge, occurrence a large Tabriz expected for upcoming decades. Therefore, evaluatin...

The Government of Madagascar plans to increase marine protected area coverage by over one million hectares. To assist this process, we compare four methods for marine spatial planning of Madagascar's west coast. Input data for each method was drawn from the same variables: fishing pressure, exposure to climate change, and biodiversity (habitats, species distributions, biological richness, and b...

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) occurs frequently in a setting of obesity, dyslipidemia and insulin resistance, but the etiology of the disease, particularly the events favoring progression to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) as opposed to simple steatosis (SS), are not fully understood. Based on known zonation patterns in protein, glucose and lipid metabolism, coupled with evidence...

Chemosynthetic primary production by microbes supports abundant faunal assemblages at deep-sea hydrothermal vents, with zonation of invertebrate species typically occurring along physico-chemical gradients. Recently discovered vent fields on the East Scotia Ridge (ESR) in the Southern Ocean represent a new province of vent biogeography, but the spatial dynamics of their distinct fauna have yet ...
