Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNew (Digital) Technique for Areal Measurements of Stonewall Surface RoughnessMary J. ThornbushThis study revisits a method introduced in the 1990 s that was deployed to measure surface roughness through profiles on rock blocks. Measurements were originally taken directly in the field using a micro-roughness meter or a simple profile gauge. The roughness index was obtained in the "deviograms" method utilizing the standard deviation of differences between 38 adjacent height measurements. The … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 14 Jan 2015 · 6,857 accessesView PDF Cite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractProblems of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic RaysAnna V. UrysonCosmic rays are energetic particles coming to the Earth from space. They bombard the atmosphere producing cascades of particles that spread over a large area when they reach the ground. Cosmic ray energies vary in the wide band from about 108 eV up to few 1020 eV. It is established that most particles with energies of ~ (108-109) eV come … …Space Science International, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 6 Dec 2014 · 13,854 accessesView PDF Cite
