In addition to socio-economic factors, major landforms may affect the city structure and urban form. Here we show that landforms have significant effects on the city shape and street patterns of the fast-growing Iranian cities of Dezful (a river) and Khorr ...

Cameroon’s electricity sector is undergoing significant changes. Before 1974, electricity was supplied by many different companies until they were nationalized and merged into a single, vertically integrated company that had responsibility for production, ...
Species of Haliotis (abalone) show high variety in structure and mineralogy of the shell. One of the European species (Haliotis tuberculata) in particular has an unusual shell structure in which calcite and aragonite coexist at a microscale with small patc ...
This Letter proposes a method to estimate phase derivatives of arbitrary order in digital holographic interferometry. Based on the desired order, the generalized complex-lag distribution is computed from the reconstructed interference field. Subsequently, ...
In this paper, we investigate the construction of compromise estimators of location and scale, by averaging over several models selected among a specified large set of possible models. The weight given to each distribution is based on the profile likelihoo ...
Method for measuring a distribution of a physical variable in a region, comprising the step of: measuring an average value of the physical variable along each of a plurality of lines in said region; estimating the distribution of the physical variable in s ...
Knowledge of the actual Nb3Sn filaments' thermal strain, epsilon(th), in a cable-in-conduit conductor (CICC) is essential to predict the CICC performance in operation starting from the strand scaling laws for the critical current density J(c)(B, T, epsilon ...
Species of Haliotis ~abalone! show high variety in structure and mineralogy of the shell. One of the European species ~Haliotis tuberculata! in particular has an unusual shell structure in which calcite and aragonite coexist at a microscale with small patc ...
A technique to measure in situ the behavior of the magnetic susceptibility vs. temperature, chi(T), for a cable-in-conduit-conductor (CICC) in the SULTAN test facility has been developed. The same kind of measurements are performed for the corresponding fr ...
Predicting the occurrence and spatial extent of extreme avalanches is a longstanding issue. Using field data pooled from various sites within the same mountain range, authors showed that the avalanche size distribution can be described using either an extr ...
