Relative velocities of discharge and sediment waves for the River Severn, UK
It is generally accepted that the celerity of a discharge wave exceeds that of a floodwave. The discharge wave is the initial wavefront (shown by an increase in stage at a particular site), whereas the floodwave refers to the body of water moving downstream. Yet, few studies have investigated the varying relationship between discharge and suspended sediment concentration as floods propagate dow...
متن کاملPrediction of Longitudinal Dispersion Coe cient in Natural Channels Using Soft Computing Techniques
Accurate estimate of longitudinal dispersion coe cient is essential in many hydraulic and environmental problems such as intake designs, modeling ow in esturies and risk assessment of injection of hazardous pollutants into river ows. Recent research works show that in the absence of knowledge about explicit relationships concerning longitudinal dispersion coe cient and its in uencing parameters...
متن کاملExperimental Study of the Influence of Vegetation on Longitudinal Dispersion
Understanding the dispersion processes within marshes is important to assess their filtering abilities and their ecological limits. A laboratory experiment was designed to study the influence of marsh vegetation on longitudinal dispersion. The flow through vegetation was modeled by a recirculating current going through an array of wooden dowels in a 24 m long flume. The longitudinal dispersion ...
متن کاملThe impact of smokefree legislation in Scotland: results from the Scottish ITC: Scotland/UK longitudinal surveys.
BACKGROUND To evaluate how Scotland's smokefree law impacted self-reported secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure in hospitality venues, workplaces and in people's homes. In addition, we examine changes in support for the law, pub and restaurant patronage, smoking cessation indicators and whether any observed changes varied by socioeconomic status. METHODS A quasi-experimental longitudinal telephone...
متن کاملWorkforce trends in general practice in the UK: results from a longitudinal study of doctors' careers.
The career paths of 544 UK medical school graduates were followed for 10 years. Although general practice was not attractive to graduates initially, it became popular in subsequent years, mainly because it was seen as offering a superior quality of life. Once in general practice both men and women chose to work reduced hours and/or in non-principal posts. The findings suggest the need to look m...
