the modeling can provide a quantitative approach and consistency in the estimationsoil erosion and sediment yield by a wide range of conditions. in this study, the integration method of revised universal soil loss equation model, geographic information system and remote sensing techniques were used in order to identify the spatial distribution of soil erosion and sediment yield in the talar wat...

Redistribution of soil, nutrients, and contaminants is often driven by wind erosion in semiarid shrublands. Wind erosion depends on wind velocity (particularly during episodic, high-velocity winds) and on vegetation, which is generally sparse and spatially heterogeneous in semiarid ecosystems. Further, the vegetation cover can be rapidly and greatly altered due to disturbances, particularly fir...

Title of thesis: INFLUENCES OF WAVE CLIMATE AND SEA LEVEL ON SHORELINE EROSION RATES IN THE MARYLAND CHESAPEAKE BAY Jia Gao, Master of Science, 2015 Thesis directed by: Professor Lawrence P. Sanford, University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES) SWAN and a parametric wave model implemented by the Chesapeake Bay Program (CBP) were used to simulate wave climate from 1985 to 2005...

A morphometric and morphologic catalog of ~100 small craters imaged by the Opportunity rover over the 33.5 km traverse between Eagle and Endeavour craters on Meridiani Planum shows craters in six stages of degradation that range from fresh and blocky to eroded and shallow depressions ringed by planed off rim blocks. The age of each morphologic class from <50–200 ka to ~20Ma has been determined ...

PATIENT Female, 57 FINAL DIAGNOSIS: Bladder erosion Symptoms: Haematuria • irritative bladder symptoms • recurrent UTI Medication: - Clinical Procedure: Endoscopic tape resection Specialty: Urology. OBJECTIVE Unusual or unexpected effect of treatment. BACKGROUND Since 1995 over 1 million tension free vaginal slings have been utilized to treat stress incontinence. The 10 year success rates r...

We report erosion rates and processes, determined from in situ-produced beryllium-10 (Be) and aluminum-26 (Al), across a soil-mantled landscape of Arnhem Land, northern Australia. Soil production rates peak under a soil thickness of about 35 cm and we observe no soil thicknesses between exposed bedrock and this thickness. These results thus quantify a welldefi ned ‘humped’ soil-production funct...

Both cavitation erosion and liquid impingement erosion are phenomena that can cause pipe wall thinning in power plants. The Code for Power Generation Facilities, Rules on Pipe Wall Thinning Management, was published by the JSME (Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers) in 2005. The code says that cavitation erosion shall be prevented either in the design stage or by daily inspection. On the other...
