The adaptation of language testing models to national testing of school graduates in Nepal : processes, problems and emerging issues
… The isolation of remote areas in the mountainous terrain, the effects of a ten-year civil war, and a culture impregnated with respect for traditional hierarchical, rule- and memory-based modes of instruction exacerbate this situation. This research is a study of the current SLC English …

Spatial reasoning about remotely sensed data for drainage network mapping
… a drainage network from a LANDSAT scene of mountainous terrain, it is necessary to use an illumination model to separate the reflectance information from the topographic information in the LANDSAT data. From the reflectance information, visible stream segments can be detected. From the …

A study on slope instability above Chapman's Peak Drive, Cape Peninsula, South Africa
… unexpected, one as all roads constructed within mountainous terrain will inevitably experience some sort of mass movement of slope material onto their surface at some stage.

A pilot school health service in southwestern Swaziland, 1961, 62, 63
… out in the South Western highveld. This is mountainous terrain, with an approximate altitude of 3,500 feet and an annual rainfall of about 30". The terrain is a succession of mountains and valleys, with several perennial streams and rivers coursing through it. The climate is variable, with …

One-room schools and their role in the development of the Appalachian hills of West Virginia: 1863--1940s
… population throughout the rural, rolling, and mountainous terrain resulted in the location of schools within walking distance for most students. The school population consisted of students of various ages and different grades contained in one room. Teachers required diverse skills, in order to …

Kytoon observations of the Lake Mead boundary layer
… Mojave Desert air mass. In addition, the mountainous terrain around the lake represents a potential influence for isolating the Lake Mead boundary layer, preventing its migration to other locales, and allowing the development of an "oasis effect". The atmosphere immediately above Lake Mead …

A Methodology for Planning Road Best Management Practices Combining WEPP: Road Erosion Modeling and Simulated Annealing Optimization
Erosion from forest roads is a known problem in mountainous terrain. To abate these negative consequences, physical Best Management Practices (BMPs) are implemented, sometimes with no knowledge of erosion hot spots. With the need to minimize water quality impacts while at the same time accounting …
