The Development of a Hydrological Buffer Zone Strategy for Designating the Mesotope Protection Zone of Raised Mire Systems
The overall aim of this thesis has been to develop a pragmatic strategy to aid decisionmaking concerning the management of raised bogs for future sustainability, and specifically to provide a tool to identify the extents and locations of those areas around the bog margins within which water tables …

Creating Connections in the City: From road to street; and buffer zone to landscape: Residual highway space as a tool in stitching segregated neighbourhoods into the urban fabric
… into a connective street; and by inhabiting the buffer zone with program in order to create an active landscape. The strategic choice of site is at an intersection of a new connection made into Langa, and presents the opportunity to address both these conditions of road and buffer zone. By …

A buffer for Etosha - The attitudes towards a buffer zone on private farmland at the south-western border of the Etosha National Park (Namibia) and chances for its implementation
… of the Etosha National Park (Namibia) towards a buffer zone on private farmland. Results are compared with expert opinions and literature. Research methods are qualitative interviews and participant observation. The farmland at the south-western border of the Etosha National Park is used for …

Developing conservation governance strategies: holistic management of protected areas in Nepal
The Buffer Zone (BZ) concept has been introduced in Nepal as a key component of the national biodiversity conservation strategy to mitigate the impacts of protected areas on local communities, and thereby reduce adverse impacts of local people on protected areas. Unlike traditional Buffer Zone …

Koalisi Lahan–Gambut: Assembling Peat–Land Futures in Kalimantan
… Situated in a Ngaju village within the buffer zone of one of the world’s largest carbon offset territories—between deep peat and riverine edges, between restoration enclosures and plantation areas—the coalition works through the murkiness of peat, the heterogeneity of its inhabitants, …

Methods of determining stream setback corridors in urban watersheds from remotely sensed data in the Dallas metropolitan area, Texas.
… existing structures prompting cities to create buffer zone ordinances to prevent the loss of future structures. Unfortunately, most ordinances probably misjudge buffer zone widths due to the lack of sufficient topographic accuracy for their delineation. However, this study utilizes observations …

Bridging across Nicosia's divide : from a "no man's land" to a shared public realm
… identify for Nicosia, Cyprus, by rebuilding the Buffer Zone -the "no man's land" that presently divides the city- in a way that encourages the sharing of the urban space by both the Greek and Turkish communities. The author investigates theories of the relationship between activities and the …

Urban Rapprochement Tactics: Stitching Divided Nicosia
… never crossed to the other side (Psaltis). The Buffer Zone has been fertile ground in cross-boundary interaction through spatial practices and urban strategies, however little is known about the impact of these particular spaces in interethnic relations. The written thesis builds on the …

Development of polarizable force fields for proteins
… the X-Pol potential is augmented with the buffer zone by calculating the two-electron Coulomb integrals between adjacent fragments in protein. The introduction of buffer zone in the X-Pol potential improves the convergence and the transferability of semiempirical parameters in the X-Pol …

Improving fractional frequency reuse (FFR) for interference mitigation in Multi-tier 4G wireless networks
… interference. An algorithm that integrates a buffer zone between the existing CCR and CER has been developed to solve the cross-boundary interference challenge experienced by the Femto-cell users. A system level simulation implemented in MATLAB was used to evaluate the developed algorithm. The …

Hi-Low : new semi public space in the high-rise
… of classic alley as in old villages which was a buffer area between public and private space. Without a buffer, combination of public and private space, there are just two extremely different areas, public and private spaces in apartment complexes. The thesis proposes a high-rise residential …

Studies of the Interaction Between Drag-Reducing Polymers and a Turbulent Flow Field Using Pulsed Image Velocimetry and FENE Bead-Spring Model
… causing an increase in the viscosity in the buffer zone but not in the viscous sublayer. This increase in the viscosity results in damping of small eddies and an increase in the thickness of the buffer layer and reducing the drag.

Assessing conservation status of remnant mammal populations in a Neotropical cloud forest
… ecosystem. The park’s more protected core zone was more biodiverse with high mammal abundance than its less protected buffer zone. Species Distribution Models (SDMs) suggested that anthropogenic pressures were the principal driving factors in determining species ranges throughout the park …

Estimating minimum thresholds of natural vegetation for the integrated management and protection of water quality in South African catchments
… the whole catchment and within a 200 m riparian buffer zone. At both scales, however, fragmentation was not found to be significant. The models further indicated that approximately 82 to 90% natural vegetation cover was necessary at these scales to keep pollution scores within acceptable levels. …

Disturbance in Small, Fragmented Peat Bogs and its Contribution to Iris pseudacorus Colonisation
… bog’s periphery were counted and compared, and buffer zone widths between Cook Road and the bog were measured. I. pseudacorus numbers were significantly higher in disturbed areas. Areas of the bog beside wider buffer zones were found to have lower I. pseudacorus numbers due to them being areas …

Influences of Mountainside Residential Development to Nutrient Dynamics in a Stream Network

Impacts of habitat and landscape characteristics on reproductive ecology of female lesser scaup (Aythya affinis) in the boreal forests of Alberta
… within 100 m, 250 m, 500 m, 1500 m, and 5000 m buffers of each scaup collection location were quantified, and then normalized using z-score transformation. General linear modeling was applied to BM, OCORT and NID across each of the five buffer sizes using a priori candidate models. Natural …

The Neolithic Settlement of the Yorkshire Dales
… the Yorkshire Dales is presented as a Neolithic ‘buffer zone’ for the earliest burial monument building styles, with architectural influences from both the megalithic and earthen barrow building traditions apparent. The accepted chronologies of several of the larger burial cairns are challenged, …
