The Automated Laser Position System - ALPS
… presents the Automated Laser Position System (ALPS) for accurate real-time positioning. ALPS is a spin-off of the Automated Position And Control System (APAC) research, sponsored by the National Science Foundation under grant DMC-8717476. The ALPS concept has three primary components: a …

Airport landside planning and simulation model (ALPS)
… at developing a computer based simulation model (ALPS) to estimate or predict the capacity of the landside components under varying scenarios. ALPS is a discrete-event simulation model developed using EXTEND (version 2 © Imagine That inc., 1992) a simulation software based on the 'C' programming …

Spatial population dynamics of recolonizing wolves in the Western Alps
… part of its former habitat in the South-Western Alps through dispersal from the Apennines beginning in the late 1990s. Prioritization of conservation actions and effective management of this species relies on estimates of wolf population trend, survival rates, occupancy parameters, and on the …

Using thermochronology to constrain exhumation in the Swiss-Italian Alps
… taken in a vertical transect from the Southern Alps, south of the Insubric Line. (U-Th)/He Zircon dates from north of the Insubric line ranged from 7 to 14 Ma, and indicate an approximate exhumation rate for the region of 1000 m/Ma. U-Th/He zircon dates from south of the Insubric Line ranged …

EVOLUTION OF THE EASTERN ALPS FROM THE PALEOZOIC ONWARD: CONSTRAINTS AND INSIGHTS FROM THE (ULTRA)BASIC ECLOGITIC COMPLEX OF MILCHENKAR ÖTZTAL-STUBAI COMPLEX (EASTERN ALPS, TYROL, AUSTRIA)
… (OSC) is one of the widest tectonic units of the Alps, belonging to the Eastern Austroalpine domain and extending between the Engadine and Tauern windows, the Northern Calcareous Alps and the Vinschgau/Venosta valley. Together with other polycyclic crystalline basements of the Alps, the OSC …

The making of art: sculptors, artisans, and artists in the Apuan Alps
… investigates the sculpture industry in the Apuan Alps and its relation to claims of artistic value. For centuries, this Italian district has specialized in extracting, marketing, and processing marble into luxury commodities. Ahead of many other parts of this economy (including design and …

Tectonics and kinematics of curved mountain belts: examples from the Andes and the Alps
Curved mountain belts have always fascinated geologists and geophysicists because of their peculiar structural setting and geodynamic mechanisms of formation. The need of studying orogenic bends arises from the numerous questions to which geologists and geophysicists have tried to answer to during …

Fire Severity and Plant Community Dynamics in the Australian Alps, Southeastern New South Wales
… Widespread unplanned fires in the Australian Alps in 2003 provided a unique opportunity to investigate the response of vascular plant species to high severity fire and to test whether there was a differential response to variations in fire severity that may affect long term vegetation dynamics …

QUANTIFYING THE DISTRIBUTION OF FOREST FUNCTIONAL TYPES AND FOREST LEAF AREA INDEX IN THE ALPS
… an extrapolation for other test areas in the Alps (Stubai and Ötz Valleys). Although a vast GIS data set had been assembled for the National Park, remote sensing was not previously used as a tool for land cover mapping and forest ecosystem analysis. For supervised classification, the maximum …

Uplift history and geomorphic development of the Southern Alps, New Zealand, assessed by fission track analysis
… and geomorphic development of the Southern Alps has been studied, using fission track analysis of basement samples in combination with measurement of the present geomorphology of the Southern Alps. During the late Cenozoic the Pacific plate has been converging obliquely with the Australia …
