Survival of small populations under demographic stochasticity [PDF]
We estimate the mean time to extinction of small populations in an environment with constant carrying capacity but under stochastic demography. In particular, we investigate the interaction of stochastic variation in fecundity and sex ratio under several

Current carrying capacity of carbon nanotubes
The current carrying capacity of ballistic electrons in carbon nanotubes that are coupled to ideal contacts is analyzed. At small applied voltages, where electrons are injected only into crossing subbands, the differential conductance is $4e^2/h$.

Carrying capacity reconsidered: from Malthus' population theory to cultural carrying capacity [PDF]
In this paper the concept of carrying capacity is investigated to provide an improved understanding about its contribution to solve environmental problems. Light is shed on its form, interpretation and application in biology, demography, applied and human ecology.

Dynamic Characteristics of Suspended Load and Bed Load Transport in Meltwater Runoff of Qiyi Glacier
[Objective] The transportation of sediment via glacial meltwater can not only reflect the glacial erosion and landform evolution, but also is one of the important sediment sources for the downstream river.

Investigating landslide deformation patterns in different evolution stages is important for understanding landslide movement. Translational landslides generally slide along a relatively straight surface of rupture. Whether the post-failure spatiotemporal
