چکیده
The writers are congratulated for developing analytical approximations to Einstein integrals herein INT1 and INT2 . It was stated by the writers in their technical note that these algorithms can be incorporated into professional hydraulic software, and the discussers agree on this. However, it is pointed out here that the calculation of INT1 and INT2 can be easily incorporated more directly by subroutines or functions for numerical integration by using any numerical library or by coding one into any hydraulic and sediment transport model e.g., Abad 2002 . In terms of practicality, there is a need for more simple formulations than those series-based ones presented by the writers. The present discussion focuses on describing practical formulations for calculating the Einstein integrals based on regression analysis. The development of the methodology is derived for use in depth-averaged sediment transport models.

Numerical Modeling of Saline Gravity Currents Using EARSM and Buoyant k- Turbulence Closures
Gravity currents are very common in nature and may appear in rivers, lakes, oceans, and the atmosphere. They are produced by the buoyant forces interacting between fluids of different densities and may introduce sediments and pollutants into water bodies. In this study, the hydrodynamics and propagation of gravity currents are investigated using WISE (Width Integrated Stratified Environments), ...

متن کاملR-parts in hyperrings
In this article, first we generalize the concept of complete parts in hyperrings by introducing the concept R-parts in hyperrings and then we study R-closures in hyperrings. Finally we characterize R-closures in hyperfields.
متن کاملGeneral Transitive Closures and Aggregate Functions
General transitive closures are a convenient operation for process ing recursive structures with relational languages because they are easy to understand e ciently to implement and expressive enough to support a broad range of practical applications To further extend the expressiveness of general transitive closures we study the use of aggregate functions together with general transitive closur...

BACKGROUND School closures were widely implemented in Argentina during the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus pandemic. OBJECTIVES To assess the economic impact of school closures on households, their effectiveness in preventing children from engaging in social group activities, and parental attitudes toward them. METHODS Three schools that closed for 2 weeks in response to the pandemic were identif...
