Abstract Coastal wave conditions are highly influenced by bathymetry variations and coastlines. The Norwegian fjords present large gradients of changes irregular coastline geometries that make the understanding near-coast a challenging task. proposed floating bridges for permanent fjord-crossings along E39 coastal highway require reliable efficient numerical simulations domain at fjords. In thi...

A .—Recent studies suggest that a linear correlation exists between the age of individual birds and accumulation of the advanced glycation endproduct pentosidine (Ps). We compared Ps accumulation in skin tissue of Ruff ed Grouse (Bonasa umbellus) and Double-crested Cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus). Skin samples were taken from the breasts of 52 Ruff ed Grouse of known ages ranging from a few ...

The interest in Piano Key weirs (PKW) was increasing over the past years, both in terms of application and hydraulic research. Several systematic model test series were performed and published so far, originating from different hydraulic laboratories around the world. Therein, the key geometric parameters dominating the hydraulic capacity of PKWs were identified as developed crest length, trans...
