Subordination of related party claims in insolvency: A suggestive framework for Asian regimes
Abstract Related party loans, due to their inherent nature, warrant a higher threshold for scrutiny when compared to loans extended by unrelated parties. Why were these monies advanced as loans, carrying higher priority in insolvency, rather than being invested as share capital?

The German Soil Systematics and the Rationale Behind Its Revision
ABSTRACT Background The German Soil Systematics is a pedogenetic classification based on the morphological expressions of pedogenic processes and has been developed over several stages since 1952. The system has successfully been in use for soil classification and soil survey for almost 70 years.

ABSTRACT The timing and spatial patterns of glaciers retreat in the Northern French Alps during the Lateglacial (19.0–11.7 ka) remain debated, reflecting discrepancies among available chronological data sets. The complex interactions between major glaciers, such as the Rhône and Arve glaciers to the north and the Isère glacier to the south, represent a

Integrating Machine Learning and StoDyM for Check Dam Site Selection on the Loess Plateau, China
ABSTRACT Severe soil erosion in the Loess Plateau has led to significant land degradation, threatening agricultural productivity and ecosystem stability. Check dams, as a critical soil–water conservation measure, have proven effective in mitigating sediment loss and reclaiming farmland.

ABSTRACT Rehabilitation of skid trails following timber harvesting is critical for preserving forest soil integrity, particularly within ecologically sensitive ecosystems such as the Hyrcanian forests of northern Iran, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Although mulching is widely recommended for erosion control, field evidence comparing different locally ...

Numerical model for breach of concrete face sand-gravel dams due to overtopping
Based upon the data of field investigations and back analysis of centrifugal model tests for the beach case of the Gouhou concrete face sand-gravel dam (CFSGD), a numerical model for breach of CFSGD is developed. The major highlights of the model are the

Back analysis of dynamic parameters of high earth-rock dam materials under weak earthquakes
In the case of weak earthquakes, a back analysis model considering interaction and radiation damping effects is proposed for dynamic parameters of earth-rock dams.

ABSTRACT Establishing scientifically grounded soil erosion control targets and feasible vegetation restoration strategies is crucial for high quality development of the Chinese Loess Plateau which is severely affected by soil erosion. Currently, the commonly used tolerable soil loss (TSL) is inadequate for addressing the spatial heterogeneity in ...

ABSTRACT Subalpine meadows play important roles in biodiversity conservation and soil carbon sequestration, but gully erosion poses a serious threat to their ecological stability. Soil shear strength (τ) is a key mechanical parameter for evaluating gully stability and soil resistance to failure. However, the spatial variation in soil shear strength and

Safety Analysis of the Earth-rock Fill Dam with Built-in Longitudinal Reinforced Wall
The longitudinal reinforced earth-rock dam was a new type of dam. The dam structure was formed by setting the rigid impermeable core wall in earth-rock dam, that the rigid core-wall played an important role in anti-seepage water and soil pressure and ...
