Spatial and temporal evolution characteristics of the water conservation function and its driving factors in regional lake wetlands—Two types of homogeneous lakes as examples

open access: yes, 2021
Water conservation is the core wetland ecological function. The pattern of water conservation in geography often exhibits local spatial heterogeneity. In this paper, the Dongting Lake (DT) and Poyang Lake (PY) wetlands were taken as research objects, and

What Factors Drive Taper Corrosion? [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Arthroplasty, 2018
Adverse local tissue reactions to corrosion products can lead to total hip arthroplasty failure. Although this problem has been well known for more than 25 years, it has seemingly increased in frequency over the recent years. The occurrence of corrosion is multifactorial-depending on implant, patient, and surgeon factors.

Finite driving rate and anisotropy effects in landslide modeling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
In order to characterize landslide frequency-size distributions and individuate hazard scenarios and their possible precursors, we investigate a cellular automaton where the effects of a finite driving rate and the anisotropy are taken into account.

Smart driving assistance systems : designing and evaluating ecological and conventional displays [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In-vehicle information systems have been shown to increase driver workload and cause distraction; both are causal factors for accidents. This simulator study evaluates the impact that two designs for a smart driving aid and scenario complexity has on ...
