Hydrological changes affect not only the physicochemical factors and habitat structure of river ecosystems, but also biological communities sensitive to environmental changes, such as zooplankton. In this study, we investigate effects weir opening on variables topographic structures at Sejong Weir in South Korea monitor resulting distribution zooplankton community. led increased dissolved oxyge...

BACKGROUND Given the difficulties of using indirect calorimetry in many intensive care units, clinicians routinely employ predictive equations (the Harris-Benedict equation [HBE] and Schofield equation are commonly used) to estimate energy expenditure in critically ill patients. Some extrapolate CO(2) production (V CO(2)) and O(2) consumption (V O(2)) by the Weir derivation to estimate energy e...

A nonlinear multiobjective programming problem is considered. Weak, strong and strict converse duality theorems are established under generalized second order (F, α, ρ, d)-convexity for second order Mangasarian type and general Mond-Weir type vector duals.

The Objective of this study is to estimate the form drag due to vegetated weirlike obstacles. Head loss due to submerged vegetated dikes and groins has been modeled by expansion loss form drag model (Energy and momentum balance principles) and it has been compared with experimental data. An experimental study has been carried out on a scaled physical model in the Laboratory of Environmental Flu...

A moment estimator of, the coancestry coefficient for alleles within a population, was described by Weir & Cockerham in 1984 (100) and is still widely cited. The estimate is used by population geneticists to characterize population structure, by ecologists to estimate migration rates, by animal breeders to describe genetic variation, and by forensic scientists to quantify the strength of matchi...

In wide-coverage lexicalized grammars many of the elementary structures have substructures in common. This means that in conventional parsing algorithms some of the computation associated with different structures is duplicated. In this paper we describe a precompilation technique for such grammars which allows some of this computation to be shared. In our approach the elementary structures of ...

A novel microflow cytometer is proposed in which the sample stream is focused initially in the horizontal (X–Y) plane by two sheath flows and is then focused in the vertical (Y–Z) plane by a sequential micro-weir structure before entering the detection region of the device. The proposed device is fabricated using a modified glass fabrication process, and is then characterized both numerically a...

The present paper attempts to investigate the prediction of air entrainment rate and aeration efficiency of a free overfall jets issuing from a triangular sharp crested weir by using regression based modelling. The empirical equations, Support vector machine (polynomial and radial basis function) models and the linear regression techniques were applied on the triangular sharp crested weirs rela...

Piano key (PK) weirs are used in a variety of flow control structure applications, including spillway crests and open channel diversion structures. However, to the best authors’ knowledge, structure-specific design guidance for scour mitigation is still needed. To fill this gap systematic experimental campaign was conducted by testing different configurations horizontal aprons with cutoff wall....
