No other disasters are as disastrous as riverbank erosion in terms of long term effect on people and society (Elahi 1991).
While current practice differs from country to country and even within countries, in many coastal hazard assessments three main components of coastline recession are taken into account: episodic recession due to storm erosion, long term recession due to an imbalance in sediment transport, and recession due to sea-level rise.
First reunification, then the privatisation of state-owned utilities (and thus the erosion of terms and conditions for employees at Deutsche Telekom and all the rest) and finally out-and-out deregulation of labour markets have left workers worse and worse off.
In the present work, the performance of the proposed FDI system is evaluated against the most common cause of gas turbine performance deterioration i.e. fouling and erosion in terms of the success rate and the estimation accuracy at different levels of sensor noise.
Soils with higher tolerance to erosion in terms of T-factor (the maximum rate of soil erosion permitting a high crop productivity) also appeared to be protective.
Soils less susceptible to wind erosion in terms of the WEG (a higher group order) were associated with reduced probability of Salmonella detection in the litter samples.
Whereas the original experiments introduced an interstitial break in a single chromosome (27), current models of telomere dysfunction are based on gradual erosion, also termed attrition (48).
The variation may lead to the discrepancy between short-term and long-term erosion rates.
However, a climatic change to more arid condition was proposed to explain the discrepancy between short-term and long-term erosion rates.
The term "erosion depth" is used herein to indicate the thickness of the material taken away by erosion.
