We study straight-line drawings of graphs with few segments and few slopes. Optimal results are obtained for all trees. Tight bounds are obtained for outerplanar graphs, 2-trees, and planar 3-trees. We prove that every 3-connected plane graph on n vertices has a plane drawing with at most 5n/2 segments and at most 2n slopes. We prove that every cubic 3-connected plane graph has a plane drawing ...

Objective. We examined how parents’ expectations about their infants’ crawling ability and crawling attempts in a locomotor task affect parenting choices about ensuring infants’ safety and providing appropriate challenges. Design. Mothers and fathers of 34 11-month-old infants adjusted a ramp to the steepest slopes they thought their infants could safely crawl down, would attempt to crawl down,...

Landslide susceptibility mapping is the first and most important step involved in landslide hazard assessment. The purpose of the present study is to compare three nonlinear approaches for landslide susceptibility mapping and test whether coal mining has a significant impact on landslide occurrence in coal mine areas. Landslide data collected by the Bureau of Land and Resources are represented ...

Landslides and related mass movement processes actively pose a threat in the Gerecse Hills (Hungary, Transdanubian Range) by endangering residential agricultural areas. Several closed or abandoned mining sites waste deposits are also located area. Most of these have not been fully remediated, which makes their surroundings dangerous unsuitable for other use. A multi-hazard map (1: 60,000) was p...
