APPLICATION OF PHYSICALLY BASED HYDROLOGIC MODELLING FOR WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT IN THE KARST BASINS
Runoff modelling in karst areas represents a specific challenge, due to inherent complexity and uncertainty of underground flow paths. Utilization of physical relationships to describe the individual components of the runoff requires a much more detailed understanding of the conditions in the basin. However, the application of such models, with an ...

EVOLUTION OF APPLIED FORMS IN MEMORIAL ARCHITECTURE: FROM PREHISTORIC STRUCTURES TO MODERN INTERPRETATIONS
This paper examines the development of forms in memorial architecture, from prehistoric structures to abstract monuments. It demonstrates how basic patterns such as circular structures, pyramidal forms, and simple geometric shapes have established enduring principles in memorial design. Over time, these forms have evolved under the influence of rel...
