[1] Paleomagnetic data from the Internal Sierras unravel the kinematic relationship between basement (Guarga, Gavarnie, Bielsa) and cover thrusts (LarraMonte Perdido). The new data come from an area of 100 km along strike and 5–15 km across strike of the southwestern Pyrenees. The area covers a variety of structural positions that range from cover to basement thrusts. From 84 sites located in U...

Forests of the South are very diverse and productive. Included among southern forests are the boreal sprucefir forests of the highest mountain peaks of the Blue Ridge Mountains to the lowest bottomland hardwoods on flood-deposited soil with elevations near sea level. In between are the diverse upland hardwood stands in northerly mountainous areas of the South and southern pines and hardwnocls a...

Considering characteristics of high river density, special underlying surface in plain river network region, and municipal drainage system function, river network drainage unit model is proposed, which is defined as a region surrounded by main river or embankment. Flood storage variety and control projects regulation of small rivers in each unit is simulated. With drainage catchment as an objec...

American artist Harvey Dunn was one of the eight soldier artists recruited by Expeditionary Forces (A.E.F) during World War I (1914-1918). His wartime works can be situated within moralizing, Wilsonian rhetoric surrounding America’s entry into war and linked with a conception masculinity that inextricably connected service. These images heroic, martial, align pronouncements President Woodrow Wi...

Microgastrinae is one of the largest subfamilies of the Braconidae with about 2,000 described species worldwide. These wasps are of enormous ecological interest due to their role in controlling the caterpillar populations. This study analyses diversity and community structure within the Microgastrinae in the Artikutza Forest, located in the Peñas de Aia Natural Park, western Pyrenees, Spain. Th...

Species distribution models (SDMs) are the main tool to predict global change impacts on species ranges. Climate change alone is frequently considered, but in freshwater ecosystems, hydrology is a key driver of the ecology of aquatic species. At large scale, hydrology is however rarely accounted for, owing to the lack of detailed stream flow data. In this study, we developed an integrated model...

This paper investigates the determinants of rural-urban migration by adult males in Matlab Thana, Bangladesh, from 1983 to 1991. A three-category model of family migration, individual migration, or no migration identifies important distinctions in the determinants of family and individual migration that would be masked by a simple two-outcome migration model. Family migration, which entails for...

Natural disasters, particularly hydro-meteorological (climate-related) disasters such as droughts, tsunamis, hurricanes, typhoons and floods, have increased in prevalence and severity in recent decades. During these disasters, the most pressing relief needs are food, water, sanitation and shelter. While relief organizations are increasingly utilizing the power of social media for informational ...

This short note adds some results in parallel to those given in [1] on the random variable height on the set of watermelons with wall. In this paper we prove weak convergence results for the random variables “height” and “range” on the set of watermelons without wall restriction, as well as asymptotics for the moments of the random variable height. The techniques applied are quite similar to th...
