erosion and sediment movement phenomena are one of the most complex issues in management of rivers drainage areas that in water projects are very important. that its measurement wants high time and cost. issue of surface runoff in river basin is a complex issue that human knowledge and understanding about its physical laws a viewpoint of some mathematical formulas is limited. in this study to i...

The primary goal of this study was to evaluate the use Ultra-fine Drift Sand from Yangtze River (China) in place natural sand production foamed concrete. experimental design included factors with varying levels: proportion at four levels (0 percent, 30%, 60%, and 100%). substituted mass material. Each factor's effect on compressive strength, density (dry saturated), air voids, water absorption ...

Sand dripping in 1 dimensional Sand Pile Model is rst studied. Patterns and signals appear. Their behaviors and interactions are explained and asymptotic approximations are made. The total collapsing time of a single stack of sand is linear in function of the number of grains.

Coastal shorelines are a key interface between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems vital for human livelihood. As result, have experienced substantial modifications worldwide. Shoreline “hardening” – the construction of armor including seawalls, bulkheads, or rip-rap is common modification that has negative ecological effects. Currently, restoration involving removal replacement with “living” be...

A survey of potential vector sand flies was conducted in the neighboring suburban communities of Vake and Mtatsminda districts in an active focus of visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) in Tbilisi, Georgia. Using light and sticky-paper traps, 1,266 male and 1,179 female sand flies were collected during 2006-2008. Five Phlebotomus species of three subgenera were collected: Phlebotomus balcanicus Theodor ...

this experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of different substrate on growth and yield of gerbera flower. the experiment was performed using 10 treatments as fallow: fine sand, peat +fine sand (%25+%75), peat + fine sand ( %50 +%50), perlite + peat (%75 + %25), perlite + peat (%50 + %50), perlite + peat (%25 + %75), perlite + peat + expanded clay (%25 + %70 + %5), perlite + peat +...

Hydrocarbon gases were collected from well cuttings and core at the MtElbert-01 gas hydrate stratigraphic test well, drilled within the Milne Point field on the Alaska North Slope. Regionally, the Eileen gas hydrate deposits overlie the more deeply buried Prudhoe Bay, Milne Point, and Kuparuk River oil fields and are restricted to the up-dip portion of a series of nearshore deltaic sandstone re...
