The morphological changes in the river channel over periods that occur due to flood events, affected sinuosity index of channel. characteristic like also determines intensity a Recent losses have increased as result variability rainfall; simultaneously such problems are coming up with sustainable development. attempted research study has been carried out evaluate and understand bank stability M...

Analysis of 41 ERS 1 synthetic aperture radar images and simultaneous ground measurements of discharge for three large braided rivers indicates that the area of active flow on braided river floodplains is primarily a function of discharge. A power law correlation is found between satellite-derived effective width We and discharge Q, where We is the water surface area within a braided reach divi...

Abstract Tropical cyclones (TCs) with genesis in the Coral Sea present significant hazards to coastal regions their surroundings. In addition, erratic nature of TC tracks is not well understood this region. Therefore, study grouped over last fifty years based on K-means clustering maximum wind-weighted centroids. This was done order extract valuable new cyclone power, track curvature and locati...

ABSTRACT Predation is a strong driver for the evolution of prey behaviour. To properly assess actual risk predation, anuran tadpoles mostly rely on water-borne chemical cues, and their ability to evaluate environmental information even more crucial when potential predators consist unknown alien species. Behavioural plasticity – that is, capacity express changes in behaviour response different s...

From a series of in-depth interviews, we gathered a significant amount of ethnographic material on the concrete and symbolic paths taken by young women and their partners in the search for a solution to an unplanned pregnancy. Inequities in Brazilian society are expressed in itineraries/routes of different sinuosity, complexity and duration according to the individuals' social and material cond...

In this paper we address the problem of segmenting a trajectory based on spatiotemporal criteria. We require that each segment is homogeneous in the sense that a set of spatiotemporal criteria are fulfilled. We define different such criteria, including location, heading, speed, velocity, curvature, sinuosity, curviness, and shape. We present an algorithmic framework that allows us to segment an...

The purpose of this research is to investigate the sinuosity major rivers in United States and world, compare them that predicted by existing theories. It shown average meandering deviates considerably from what has been reported previously as π. Calculations mean value actual sinuosities World show very close 2. Exact models well a Monte Carlo simulation for based on Gaussian probability distr...
