Simulating Environmental Impacts Based On The Example Of Roşia Montană
Journal of Environmental Geography, 2015 One of the challenges of modern terrain modelling methods is to incorporate non-existing, planned features in the output. Remote sensing based solutions can only detect structures and shapes that are already present in the environment. In order to assess

A GIS approach towards estimating tourist's off-road use in a mountainous protected area of Northwest Yunnan, China [PDF]
, 2014 To address the environmental impacts of tourism in protected areas, park managers need to understand the spatial distribution of tourist use. Standard monitoring measures (tourist surveys and counting and tracking techniques) are not sufficient to ...

Grip and Grasp: Lizard Claw Inspired Robotic Manipulators
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Our study identifies the most effective lizard claw shape for use as an end effector in a bioinspired robotic manipulator. By examining key geometric features and combining them into comparative indices, the Crotaphytus collaris claw is found to be the best fit.

Fennia: International Journal of Geography, 2015 Seasonally inundated areas and water-saturated soils are common features of lowland Arctic and sub-Arctic permafrost environments. With the onset of snow melt, and water percolation down through the snowpack, a principal factor controlling stream channel

Construction of high-precision DEMs for urban plots
Annals of GIS, 2023 High-precision digital elevation models (DEMs) are the basic data for constructing digital cities. With the acceleration of urbanization, the topography of urban plots is constantly transformed by human activities, so that surface morphology shows the ...

Bioinspired Adaptive Leg‐Claw Enables Robust Perching and Grasping for UAVs
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Inspired by owl limb morphology and bat roosting behavior, this study presents a bioinspired adaptive leg‐claw mechanism that enables UAVs to perform robust and versatile perching and grasping. The design integrates a four‐link tibial structure, tension‐driven deformable feet, and active control, enabling stable perching on various branches and ...

Digital terrain analysis of the Haute-Mentue catchment an scale effect for hydrological modelling with TOPMODEL [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2000 It is widely recognised that topography plays an important role in the generation of runoff. The scale of a digital elevation model has been found to have some impacts on the results of hydrological modelling in several studies.
