Twenty-five years since the end of Tajikistan’s civil war in 1997, dreams and aspirations international development cross-border mobility country’s Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Province, colloquially called “the Pamirs,” have evaporated. Once mountainous region was envisaged to a prosperous postwar future ahead it, with emerging trade links China Afghanistan, substantial funding from nongovernme...

The inelasticity of hadron-carbon collisions for energies exceeding 100 TeV is estimated from the carbonemulsion chamber data at Pamirs to be 〈KC〉 = 0.65± 0.08. When combined with data on hadron-lead collisions taken at the same energy range it results in the K ∼ A mass number dependence of inelasticity. The evaluated partial inelasticity for secondary (ν > 1) interactions, Kν>1 ≃ 0.2, suggests...

In many arid mountains, dwarf shrubs represent the most important fodder and firewood resources; therefore, they are intensely used. For the Eastern Pamirs (Tajikistan), they are assumed to be overused. However, empirical evidence on this issue is lacking. We aim to provide a method capable of mapping vegetation in this mountain desert. We used random forest models based on remote sensing data ...

The folk traditions and family ties among the Van Kyrgyz, who settled from Pamir region of Afghanistan in Eastern part Turkey, are considered. purpose study is to analyze how Kyrgyz customs have been preserved after 40 years living Turkey resettlement their homeland Pamirs. novelty lies appeal previously unpublished Russia studies Turkish scientists wrote about history as well ethnographic data...

We described in this report the essential geographic layers used as landscape drivers for the Marco Polo Argali habitat in the eastern Tajik Pamirs. Using remote sensing techniques and geographic information systems (GIS), individual layers were generated in order to acquire more information on argali patterns and habitat suitability and to make the dataset available online. We introduced an im...
