Abstract In 2015, a sudden landslide caused the failure of one pillars supporting southern lanes Skjeggestad Bridge near Mofjellbekken on Expressway E18. The transportation corridor was closed to traffic for 17 months. To investigate cause failure, an assessment slope stability is necessary. Usually, limit equilibrium analysis middle two-dimensional (2D) cross-section modelled. geometry not clo...

Abstract. Landslides whose slide surface is gentle near the toe and relatively steep in middle rear part are common Three Gorges Reservoir area, China. The mass that overlies of termed “driving section”, which “resisting section”. A driving–resisting model presented to elucidate deformation mechanism reservoir landslides this type, as exemplified by Shuping landslide. More than 13 years field o...

Previous studies of habitat suitability sessile organisms on subtidal rocky substrata have been focused only one or two terrain attributes. In this study, we propose a new method to construct centimeter resolution seafloor topographic model by using underwater photogrammetry obtain multiple variables and investigate relationships between the distribution variables. Point cloud models five squar...

The recent COSY-11 collaboration measurement of the two-proton correlation function in the pp → ppη reaction, reported at this meeting [1], arouse some interest in a simple theoretical description of the correlation function. In these notes we present a pedagogical introduction to the practical methods that can be used for calculating the correlation function.

These lecture notes survey some of the main ideas and techniques used in cryptographic voting systems. The write-up is geared towards readers with little knowledge of cryptography and it focuses on the broad principles that guide the design and analysis of cryptographic systems, especially the need for properly designed security models. We use a system proposed by Fujioka, Okamoto and Ohta as s...

Objective: To verify if there is difference in the buccal and posterior corridor width in cases treated with extraction of one and four premolars. Methods: Through posed smile photographs of 23 Class II patients, subdivision, treated with extraction of one premolar and 25 Class I and Class II patients, subdivision, treated with extraction of four premolars, the percentage of buccal and posterio...

In this paper, we will present the results of several case studies focusing on RADARSAT-2 InSAR monitoring of several different types of landslides and the uses of enhanced RADARSAT-2 polarimetric composites for surficial geological and terrain mapping in Canada. InSAR techniques are increasingly being used in slope stability assessment [1, 2 3]. Our research has shown that both differential In...

The heterogeneity of the forests west of the Mississippi River in the Southern United States is strongly influenced by physiography and topography. The west Gulf Coastal Plain of southern Arkansas, northwestern Louisiana, and eastern Texas features highly productive pine-dominated forests (Pinus spp.) on gentle terrain that are interspersed by major and minor alluvial bottomland hardwood forest...

Introduction: The current knowledge of the geological history of Venus can be interpreted in terms of the history of the geochemical environments on this planet. One can distinguish two parts of the geologic history of Venus: the later part, for which we have morphological records supplemented by geochemical measurements on the surface and in the atmosphere, and the earlier part, for which ther...

An important component of driver assistance systems (DAS) is lane detection, and has been studied since the 1990s. However, improving and generalizing lane detection solutions remains to be a challenging task until recently. A (physical) lane is defined by road boundaries or various kinds of lane marks, and this is only partially applicable for modeling the space an ego-vehicle is able to drivi...
