Gently sloping surfaces for settlement are scarce in high mountains ranges and they are commonly related to distal parts of alluvial fans where floods hazards can be expected. To understanding the influence of external factors, such as climatic variability and land uses, on the alluvial fan accretion and flooding processes, sedimentology and pollen analysis from local site provide valuable data...

The objective of this study was to explore the effect of a forward sloping seat on posture and muscular activity of the trunk and lower limbs. To this aim, twelve asymptomatic participants were tested in six conditions varying seat slope (0°, 15° forward) and height (high, medium, low). Angular position of head, trunk and pelvis was assessed with an inertial orientation system, and muscular act...

I show that an external habit model augmented with a heteroskedastic consumption growth process reproduces main domestic and international bond market puzzles, considered di cult to replicate simultaneously. Domestically, the model generates an upward sloping real yield curve and realistic violations of the expectation hypothesis. Depending on the parameters, the model can also generate a downw...

A third-order asymptotic solution in Lagrangian description for nonlinear water waves propagating over a sloping beach is derived. The particle trajectories are obtained as a function of the nonlinear ordering parameter ε and the bottom slope α to the third order of perturbation. A new relationship between the wave velocity and the motions of particles at the free surface profile in the waves p...

Land management affects soil structure and many other properties processes. Our objectives were to evaluate organic C (SOC), aggregate size distribution, aggregate-associated C, as affected by long-term land slope. A chronosequence of 38 on-farm sites with low high (5–18%) slopes was selected 5–40 yr management. The classified business usual (BAU) cropland (BAU-Crop), BAU pasture (BAU-Past), ne...
