The potential of global solar radiation in the Silesia region as a renewable source of energy

Environmental & Socio-economic Studies, 2016
Historically, Silesia has been at the centre of the Polish coal industry for many years and thus has experienced poorer air quality compared to other voivodeships.

Nonlinear Response‐History Analyses of Masonry and Mixed Structures With HybriDFEM

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 8, Page 1694-1709, 10 July 2026.
ABSTRACT The hybrid discrete‐finite element (HybriDFEM) method, previously developed to perform static and modal analysis in discrete and coupled discrete‐finite element models, is extended to nonlinear response‐history analyses. The equations of motion for the HybriDFEM model are solved through various numerical time‐integration schemes, both explicit

Impact of democracy on economic, human, and societal development

Humanities & Social Sciences Communications
How does democracy affect economic, human, and societal development? We review the scientific evidence on this question from 2010 to present, finding that democracy improves economic growth, population health, gender equality, and peace. However, we find

Evaluation of LISS-III Sensor Data of IRS-P6 Satellite for Detection Saline Soils (Case Study: Najmabad Region) [PDF]

Desert, 2012
Soil Salinity has been a large problem in arid and semi arid regions. Preparation of such maps is useful for Natural resource managers. Old methods of preparing such maps require a lot of time and cost.

Semiautomated classification of units in volcanic terrain based on three morphometric attributes derived from a digital elevation model (DEM)

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 5, May 2026.
The proposed method better responds to the needs of detailed cartography improving the working scale (local and regional) representation; also roughness attributes facilitate the identification of geomorphological units, and the DEM generation method enhances terrain representation.

Insights Into the Mechanisms Controlling the Residual Strength of Bio‐cemented Sands

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 6, Page 2711-2726, 25 April 2026.
ABSTRACT Microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) is an emerging technique for enhancing the mechanical properties of granular soils. Although several experimental studies have reported increased shear strength in MICP‐treated soils at both peak and residual states, other findings have shown reductions in residual strength compared to ...

Crisis risk management in Municipal Owned Companies between accountability and institutional isomorphism

Cogent Social Sciences
This study examines risk management (RM) reporting as an accountability mechanism in Italian Municipal-Owned Companies (MOCs), investigating how institutional pressures – mimetic, normative, and coercive isomorphism – shape RM disclosure practices within

Monitoring bulk material pressure on bottom of storage using DEM

Open Engineering, 2019
This article focuses on the experimental verification of a mathematical derivation of Janssen’s theory, which describes the distribution of pressures within the bulk material and pressure distribution on the walls of storage facilities.

The Role of Basal Roughness and Assemblage Grain‐Size Distribution in Shaping Granular Rheology and Basal‐Force Signals

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract We present idealized 3‐D discrete element simulations exploring how varying boundary roughness and grain‐size distribution affect bulk granular‐rheology and basal‐force distributions. Boundary roughness has a direct control on the internal static friction coefficient.

TanDEM-X DEM Calibration Status and Commissioning Phase [PDF]

, 2008
TanDEM-X is the first bistatic space-borne SAR mission. It will be formed by adding a second, almost identical spacecraft to TerraSAR X and flying them in a closely controlled formation.
