in the present study, the soil and water assessment tool (swat 2000) model was tested on both a monthly and yearly basis and applied to the kordan watershed, located in iran. the main objective of the research was to assess the accuracy of the model in sediment-yield and surface water bicarbonate concentration estimation. the attributes of sub-watersheds, tributary channels and the main channel...

. This theoretical prediction is compared to experimental results. In the second part, experiments on fd-virus are described, both in the isotropic and nematic phase. First order in concentration results for this very long and thin (semi-flexible) rod are in agreement with the above theoretical prediction. Sedimentation profiles for the nematic phase show two sedimentation fronts. This result i...
