SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF OVERTOPPING

Embankment overtopping protection systems

For the last decades, the design floods of numerous embankment reservoirs were re-evaluated, and the revised spillway outflows are typically larger than those used in the original designs. As a result, a number of overtopping protection systems were developed for embankments and earthfill dams, with applications encompassing river dykes, coastal barriers for storm surge and tsunami protections....

Computer Simulation of Levee’s Erosion and Overtopping

The overall intent of this research is to develop numerical models of erosion of levees, dams and embankments, validated by physical models. The physical model tests were performed at 1-g and at high g’s using a geotechnical centrifuge facility. The erosion was modeled in detail, from beginning to end, that is from the time the levee was overtopped until the levee was breached. Typical quantiti...

Spatial Distribution of Premature Infant Mortality in 2000-2017

Background The provision, maintenance and promotion of the health of infants as a vulnerable group in health care services are a high priority, and the first step in reducing infant mortality and improving their health is undoubtedly the identification of their mortality status. We aimed to study the spatial distribution of premature infant mortality in 194 count...

Spatial Pattern of Macrobenthos Distribution in Chabahar Bay before Monson

Abstract In the present study, the structure of macrobenthos communities of Chabahar Bay prior to monsoon in 2016 was investigated.  We identified 87 species contain 22 amphipods species, 14 species of other crustaceans, 31 species of molluscs, and 20 polychaets species, where amphipods followed by polychates were dominant taxa. The PERMANOVA test revealed that there is a significant difference...
