A triply-nested, movable mesh model ..~as used to study the effects of mountainous terrain on the landfall of tropical cyclones onto the islands of Japan. The integration domain spanned 43" latitude and 47" longitude with finest resolution of 1/6". Numerical experiments were separately performed for three cas4~s. In each experiment a storm was embedded onto a stationary Haurwitz type wave at th...

Abstract. Snowfall in the northeastern part of South Korea is result complex snowfall mechanisms due to a highly contrasting terrain combined with nearby warm waters and three synoptic pressure patterns. All these factors together create unique combinations, whose disentangling can provide new insights into microphysics snow on planet. This study focuses impact wind flow topography drawing 20 e...

The prevalence and geographic distribution of the fowl tampan, Argas walkerae Kaiser & Hoogstraal, 1969 was determined in the eastern region of the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa by inspecting two fowl houses in the vicinity of each of 72 randomly selected communal cattle dip-tanks. Tampans were collected from 102 (70.8%) of the 144 fowl houses in the neighbourhood of 57 (79.2%) of the 72 ...

United States power in Persian Gulf has risen since the end of Second World War. Dividing U.S. presence in the Region into the Cold war and post-Cold war era, the principle policy in first period was narrowing the impact of Soviet Union in the Region and in latter, Access to Persian Gulf region’s oil and controlling the major threats which can disrupt the flow of oil to global energy market. Fo...

The issue uses ecological footprint method to research 7 target counties of Beijing and gains the per capita ecological deficit after 12 percent areas deduction for biological diversification. We found that target region has a magnified trend of ecological deficit and then, we try to offer some proposals about how to develop the mountainous counties.

The Hustain Nuru region of Mongolia’s Chentai Mountains is one of the country’s most pristine wild areas. Valleys and slopes harbour steppe vegetation such as fescue, brome grass and feathergrasses, while birch woods grow in the upper elevations of this relatively low lying mountainous region. A diverse range of wild fauna including marmots, lemmings, red deer, wild sheep, polecats, Pallas cat,...
