Use of Kriging Technique to Study Roundabout Performance [PDF]
Road intersections are dangerous places because of the many conflicting points between motorized and nonmotorized vehicles. In the case of defined traffic volume, several research groups have proved that roundabouts reduced the number of injuries and ...

Intensification of technological processes in drilling and blasting operations during open-cut mining in Kyzylkum region [PDF]
Purpose. It is found that for long term standing, the pit bench profile is close to the boundary of the disturbed zone. Therefore, long stability of the bench can be estimated in respect to the size of the disturbed area and the boundary of residual ...

Seasonality in the Surface Energy Balance of Tundra in the Lower Mackenzie River Basin [PDF]
This study details seasonal characteristics in the annual surface energy balance of upland and lowland tundra during the 1998–99 water year (Y2). It contrasts the results with the 1997–98 water year (Y1) and relates the findings to the climatic normals ...

Evidence for Compact Dark Matter in Galactic Halos [PDF]
Clumped dark matter arises naturally within the framwork of generic cosmological dark matter models. Invoking the existence of dark matter clumps can also solve may unexplained mysteries in astrophysics and geology or geophysics, eg.

Cognitive Structures of Good and Poor Novice Problem Solvers in Physics [PDF]
The way knowledge is organized in memory is generally expected to relate to the degree of success in problem solving. In the present study, we investigated whether good novice problem solvers have their knowledge arranged around problem types to a ...

Titan's past and future: 3D modeling of a pure nitrogen atmosphere and geological implications
Several clues indicate that Titan's atmosphere has been depleted in methane during some period of its history, possibly as recently as 0.5-1 billion years ago. It could also happen in the future.

On the crescentic shape of barchan dune
Aeolian sand dunes originate from wind flow and sand bed interactions. According to wind properties and sand availability, they can adopt different shapes, ranging from huge motion-less star dunes to small and mobile barchan dunes.
