Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEvaluation of the Groundwater Global Pollution Risk: Relationships with Territorial PlanningM. De Maio, F. Minucci, G. NocerinoProblem statement: The protection and enhancing of Groundwater Resources (GWR) at an international level have been studied extensively, but they have very rarely been considered in Territorial Planning and Urban Planning. Now more than in the past, thanks to the technologies and know-how acquired over the years, ignoring responsibilities with regards to the close link between these themes is no … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2010 · 6,839 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Depth Estimation System for Laboratory Studies using Video ImageryAlec Torres, Rodolfo SilvaA simple video-based system has been developed for depth estimation based on wave propagation characteristics. A numerical simulation of a long-crested monochromatic wave propagating over a beach with straight and parallel contours is used for testing the depth inversion system. An oblique video, simulating field conditions, is recorded, digitized and rectified for its further analysis. Pixel intensity time series from … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,655 accessesView PDFCite
