Failure in Motion: A Framework for Capability Erosion and Institutional Dysfunction

Strategic Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drawing on the literature on capability erosion and institutional dysfunction (ID), this study develops a conceptual framework that sheds new light on how the interaction between capability erosion and ID creates conditions for business failure across borders. By articulating two dimensions of heterogeneous capability and resource erosion (i.e.

Landslide Investigation with Remote Sensing and Sensor Network: From Susceptibility Mapping and Scaled-down Simulation towards in situ Sensor Network Design

Remote Sensing, 2013
This paper presents an integrated approach to landslide research based on remote sensing and sensor networks. This approach is composed of three important parts: (i) landslide susceptibility mapping using remote-sensing techniques for susceptible ...

An integrated approach for evaluating the effectiveness of landslide risk reduction in unplanned communities in the Caribbean [PDF]

Despite the recognition of the need for mitigation approaches to landslide risk in developing countries, the delivery of ‘on-the-ground’ measures is rarely undertaken. With respect to other ‘natural’ hazards it is widely reported that mitigation can pay.

Roles of Remote Sensing Technology in Landslide Risk Management of Hong Kong

, 2021
Natural terrain covers over 60% of the land area of Hong Kong. With the close proximity of developments to hillsides and high annual rainfall, Hong Kong is under a constant threat from natural terrain landslides.

Winegrowers' Perceptions and Adoption of Sustainable Soil Management Practices and Technologies: A Case Study in Piedmont, Italy

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil is crucial for human survival but is threatened by erosion and contamination. Farmers play a pivotal role in soil conservation, thus, understanding what influences their decisions is crucial. The IN‐GEST SOIL project aimed to mitigate soil erosion and improve soil and vine quality in Piedmont vineyards, NW Italy.

A Surrogate Model for Stability Assessment of Two‐Layered Cohesive Slopes

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper introduces a novel surrogate model for rapid stability evaluation of two‐layered cohesive slopes under undrained conditions. The model eliminates the need for iterative calculations and slip surface searches, allowing for fast and accurate stability assessments without reliance on advanced numerical tools. The formulation is derived

Pinguicula brendae (Lentibulariaceae) sp. nov., a carnivorous plant from a tropical montane cloud forest in Hidalgo, Mexico

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
A new species of Lentibulariaceae, Pinguicula brendae Rodríguez‐Ramírez, H.Shimai & A.R. Andrés‐Hernández, is described based on its unique morphological characteristics. This species is restricted to limestone rock walls in the San Bartolo Tutotepec municipality, central‐eastern Hidalgo, Mexico, where it inhabits a single locality on vertical, north ...

Engineering geological assessment of the Barwas landslide Himachal Pradesh

Discover Geoscience
Slope failures are very common during the monsoon season in hilly terrains. The occurrence can be attributed to the interaction of various controlling factors, including geological structures, terrain morphology, hydrological processes, and human-induced
