A series of large rainfall simulator experiments was conducted in 2002 and 2003 on a small plot located in an experimental catchment in the North Island of New Zealand. These experiments measured both runoff and sediment transport under carefully controlled conditions. A physically based hydrologica

Abstract
In this article, the preliminary studies of coherent stimulated terahertz radiation from intense, subnanosecond electron beam are presented. The mechanism of terahertz pulse generation is associated with selfβbunching of the beam and slippage of the wave over the whole electron flow. This soβcalled Cherenkov superradiance (SR) was used to propose a compact terahertz generator with high peak power. A large cross section (overmoded), slow wave structure was designed to support the high power handling capability, and the mode competition was avoided by operating the device in the surface wave status. With 2.5D particleβinβcell simulation, we investigated the βhotβ characteristics of the proposed superradiant terahertz generator and found that the SR peak power could be further increased by optimizing the amplitude profile of electron pulse.

Methodologies for developing a macro-scale model of subsurface stormflow generation on a steep forested catchment in Japan are addressed. Field studies on this catchment have indicated that subsurface flow, consisting mainly of 'old' water displaced by 'new' rain water, dominates the storm response.
Despite widespread bench-terracing, stream sediment yields from agricultural hillsides in upland West Java remain high. We studied the causes of this lack of effect by combining measurements at different spatial scales using an erosion process model. Event runoff and sediment yield from two 4-ha ter
