Understory host plant and insect gall diversity changes across topographic habitats differing in nutrient and water stress in the Brazilian Amazon rainforest [PDF]
Acta Amazonica, 2017 Topographic gradients in terra firme forests are associated with pronounced changes in soil texture, soil nutrients and distance to the water-table, thereby creating different hydric and nutritional conditions for plants and their associated herbivore ...

Topographic effects on buoyancy driven flows along the slope
Environmental Fluid Mechanics, 2022 AbstractThe flow and descent of dense water masses formed in shallow regions of the ocean is an important leg in the global overturning circulation. The dense overflow waters tend to flow along the continental slopes as geostrophically balanced gravity plumes, but may be steered downslope by canyons and ridges cross-cutting the slopes. In that process,

Acausal relations between topographic slope and drainage area [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2002 For real landscapes, the local slope is related to the area of the drainage basin. Such relations do not always indicate a causal link between drainage area and local slope. We provide a general and quantitative assessment of this statistical effect.

Determination of Important Topographic Factors for Landslide Mapping Analysis Using MLP Network
The Scientific World Journal, 2013 Landslide is one of the natural disasters that occur in Malaysia. Topographic factors such as elevation, slope angle, slope aspect, general curvature, plan curvature, and profile curvature are considered as the main causes of landslides.

Safe Path Correction Method for Ambulance Aircraft Based on Low-Altitude Wind Prediction
IEEE Access, 2020 The flight height of ambulance aircraft during aviation emergency rescue is low. Low-altitude wind fields and complex terrains may threaten the flight safety of rescue aircraft and thus limit rescue efficiency.

Evaluation of high quality topographic data for geomorphological and flood impact studies in upland area: North York Moors, UK [PDF]
, 2006 A flash flood on 19th June 2005 caused more than one hundred landslides in the North-western North York Moors uplands, UK. This project aims to 1) assess digital elevation models (DEMs) in terms of statistical terrain analysis and 2) explore the ...

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) is a neurodegenerative ‘tauopathy’ with predominating pathology in the basal ganglia and midbrain. Caudal tau spread frequently implicates the cerebellum; however, the pattern of atrophy remains equivocal.
