降雨引發的淺層滑坡具有區域性的群發效應，能夠在短時間內造成大量的災難性損失。降雨過程的動態性及多樣性直接影響著滑坡發生的位置及強度。本項目從降雨對淺層滑坡演化過程的作用機理入手，將滑坡的地質機理和變形失穩過程考慮到滑坡危險性評價的研究中，確定區域淺層滑坡災害強度量化方法，在武陵山區滑坡災害調查數據統計分析的基礎上，建立土體結構的概化模型，分析不同土體結構模型的入滲特征，研究坡體不同部位的及其相鄰坡體坡體之間的雨水運動規律；進行室內物理模型試驗，構建降雨入滲條件下淺層滑坡的力學計算模型，提出淺層滑坡變形失穩

This project develops new technology toward Video2Sim:automatically converting a video into a virtual world,where scenes are reconstructed,actions are re-enacted,and alternative outcomes are simulated by a computer.Such a system does not yet exist due to

This project aims to provide the first global-scale constraints on temperature and dynamics of the free-troposphere-which comprises altitudes ranging from about 2-18 km.Specifically,the researcher will use new isotopic measurements and 3 Dimensional(3D)gl

We plan to continue to develop and assess the efficacy of novel approaches for the treatment of malignant disease based on studies in dogs with spontaneously occurring malignancies. Studies in dogs with malignant lymphoma have shown that some dogs treated

The long range objectives of this project are to characterize fundamental properties of the replication-specific mammalian DNA polymerase alpha (pol alpha) and its structural gene and to discern within them unique sites and/or mechanisms which can be expl

Mammalian spermatogenesis is a hormone-dependent process regulated mainly by follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and testosterone (T). The effects of these hormones on germ cell (Gc) differentiation are believed to be indirect, mediated through the somati

Experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis (EAMG) produced in C57B1/6 mice by immunization with Torpedo acetylcholine receptor has been modulated and attenuated by the in vivo administration of suppressor T cell lines and clones derived from lymph node cel

The objectives of this research are to define those immune mechanisms including allergy which have been suggested but not established as important in the pathogenesis of otitis media with effusion (OME). OME is a multifactorial syndrome in which infectio

The literatures on behavioral approaches to marital distress and behavioral marital therapy are summarized in terms of implications for understanding and preventing marital distress. Evidence is presented that communication and exchange deficits may be e
