The modern intellectual and legal tradition tells us that states must have defined, habitable territory.If so, small islands will cease to be states, and their inhabitants will accordingly become stateless.Against this, leading scholars have recently
This paper presents a comprehensive study of the support effect and characteristics of a collaborative reinforce system of U-steel support and anchored cable (USS-AC) for roadway under high dynamic stress in a coal mine in China.The deformational behavior of the roadway and the load Amiami characteristics of reinforcing elements were measured in re

The soil management adopted in vineyard inter-rows has a great influence on soil hydraulic properties, and, consequently, on runoff at the field scale.Conventional management with tillage is adopted by vine-growers to improve the soil water recharge during winter.Nevertheless, this practice is known to increase runoff and soil erosion in steep area
