Abstract: People’s understanding and perceptions of landscapes are closely related to their observational behavior. Therefore, understanding human observation behavior is necessary for landscape planning research. In this study, we ...

Abstract: Expansive soils are characterized by significant swelling and shrinkage due to changes in water content, which could threaten the safety of buildings. In this study, an electrochemical treatment method was used to modify ...

Abstract: Understanding the trade-offs associated with the two operation stages of hydropower generation is critical for guiding efficient reservoir operations. Previous studies showed that the marginal return in Stage 2 is always ...

Abstract: In this study, the development of an extreme precipitation event along the southeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau (TP) by the approach of Tropical Cyclone (TC) Rashmi (2008) from the Bay of Bengal is examined using a ...

Abstract: The central theme of this study is to explore if and how the intensity of a tropical cyclone (TC) is related to its size. This subject has puzzled atmospheric scientists since the work of Deppermann, but the existence of ...

Abstract: The engineering properties of tailings are important for the safety evaluation and engineering design of tailing dams. In the present study, laboratory experiments were performed to investigate the geotechnical properties ...

Abstract: Nonuniform pressure of microirrigation systems negatively impacts crop productivity, water utilization, and nonpoint source pollution. However, achieving network pressure uniformity can be prohibitively expensive. This ...

Abstract: There is an absence of nationally accepted warrants for left-turn phasing at signalized intersections. Some guidelines recommend a protected left-turn phasing for turns with three or more opposing through lanes. However, ...
