bendway weirs are an important tool in multi-purpose erosion control and are implemented to control erosion, restore streams, and improve habitat. these structures create a hydraulic effect that reduces erosion on the outer bank of a bend by reducing flow velocities near the outer bank and reduce the concentration of currents on the outer bank creating better current alignment through the bend....

OBJECTIVES Gastrointestinal side-effects caused by mycophenolic acid (MPA) are frequent in liver transplant recipients, and in these cases a switch from two to three daily doses is usually recommended. However, a limited sampling strategy for the estimation of MPA area under the curve from 0 to 8 hours (AUC(0-8h)) has not been made. DESIGN AND METHODS In 22 liver transplant patients who were ...

different construction materials with different roughness used to make circular weirs highly affect surface roughness and, in turn, flow hydraulics passing over these structures.  in the present research, numerous experiments under different hydraulic conditions were performed on a physical model to study the effects of roughness on flow hydraulics over a circular weir. the flow hydraulics incl...

Abstruct.-Behavior and passage rate of smolts of Atlantic salmon Salmo salar and juvenile American shad Alma saplrilssima were compared between a standard (sharp-crested) and a modified surface bypass weir that employs uniform flow velocity increase (1 m.s-'.rnP' of linear distance). W i t h the first 30 rnin after release, significantly more smolts passed the modified weir than the standard we...

ABSTRACT- Measurement of irrigation water in agricultural areas is necessary, especially, in arid and semi-arid regions. Long-throated flumes have been used to measure irrigation water and are known to be inexpensive devices with high performances. In these structures, head-discharge tables are predicted theoretically with no need to calibrate. In this study, the model of LOTF ...

In this study an extensive experimental research is carried out to develop a better understanding of the effects of Piano Key (PK) weir geometry on weir flow threshold submergence. Experiments were conducted in a 12 m long, 0.4 m wide and 0.7 m deep rectangular glass wall flume. The main objectives were to investigate the effect of the PK weir geometries including the weir length, weir height, ...
