abstract in this research sand drifts potential using sand rose graph software and fryberger velocity classes’ method investigated. thus wind data between 1985 and 2005 from meteorological stations of jask and kerman were analyzed to examine sand drift potential. sand drift potential amount of kerman station was 412.6 using sand rose graph and 401.09 using fryberger,s method. sand drift potenti...

the wepp physically model is able to dynamically simulate runoff and soil erosion using physical concepts of erosion and hydraulic of overland flow science considering plant growth, residue decomposition, winter process. determination of the capability of this model in runoff and erosion estimation in different range type with investigation the effects of management were the main objectives of ...

The Eastern Sahara (Fig. i) is devoid of surface drainage -this unusual characteristic distinguishes its morphology from that of most other desert regions where running water dominates landscape development (Peel, 1939). Cyclic aridity, which is responsible for the obscuring eolian blankets and wind-erosion effects, had set in by the Pliocene-Pleistocene transition, about 2 million years ago (W...

Early recognition of dental erosion is important to prevent serious irreversible damage to the dentition. This requires awareness of the clinical appearance of erosion compared to other forms of tooth wear. An understanding of the etiologies and risk factors for erosion is also important. These form the basis of a diagnostic protocol and management strategy that addresses the multifactorial nat...
