This paper presents a linear representation of the built environment called “continuity line”. A continuity line is the aggregation of several axial lines to represent an urban path in its longest extension, respecting a maximum sinuosity previously defined. It is based on two main arguments: first, that the notion of continuity is already embedded in the axial system; and second, that the cont...

The risk of death of unbelted rear-seat occupants is obviously increased in car crashes. However, there is little epidemiological evidence that unbelted rear-seat occupants will also increase the risk of death of front-seat passengers. We compared risk of death and severe injury of front-seat occupants in car crashes with belted or unbelted rear-seat passengers. The risk of death of belted fron...

Morphotectonic indices by representing the longer period of time than recorded earthquake data, are useful in evaluating the tectonic activity of a region. Dashtkhak area is located in Kerman province of Iran, where one of the most active faults, Kouhbanan strike slip fault, passes through. This data article provides a precise level data on mountain fronts and valleys of Dashtkhak region that i...

Karangsambung, located in Central Java, Indonesia has complex geological conditions of the tectonic evolution Java Island due to subduction process India-Australia plate with Eurasian Cretaceous-Paleocene. The movements zone have resulted diverse structures and rock types impact morphological shape study area. level activity area can be determined using a geomorphological approach. A digital el...

Urbanization in stream catchments can have strong effects on channel hydrogeomorphic features including dimensions, channel-floodplain connectivity, and flood regime. However, the consequences of alterations aquatic-terrestrial subsidy dynamics are largely unexplored. We examined associations among characteristics, emergent aquatic insect assemblages, density trophic riparian spiders family Tet...

We describe a novel representation of a discrete correlated random walk as the transition matrix of a Markov chain with the displacements as the states. Such a representation makes it possible to utilize results from the theory of absorbing Markov chains, to make biologically interesting predictions without having to resort to Monte Carlo simulations. Our motivation for constructing such a repr...

allochthonous masses are common structures in zagros fold-thrust belt. they are generally considered as collapse structures formed by the influence of gravity and in rock units with competency contrast. however, large allochthonous masses mapped in dowgonbadan area in dezful embayment near the mountain front fault (mff) of zagros show characteristics different from the belt common collapse stru...

Conceptualisation of geo-hydrological characteristic erosive runoff are particular importance and has been required in recent soil erosion control. This study aimed to explore the feasibility applying hydrological attributes characterize surface pathways process hillslope due rainfall. Combined with sub-millimeter high-resolution laser scanning computer digital image processing method, three in...

In spite of the strategic importance of the national Portuguese road network, there are no recent studies concerned with either the identification of contributory factors to road collisions or collision prediction models (CPMs) for this type of roadway. This study presents an initial contribution to this problem by focusing on the national roads NR-14, NR-101 and NR-206, which are located in Po...
