Submerged Discharge for Whitehead Torpedoes

one dimensional mathematical model for discharge flow calculation in submerged rockfill detention dams

for non-darcy flow in submerged porous media a one- dimensional mathematical model has been developed. rockfill detention dams are one of these porous media that comprised of relatively homogenous coarse rockfill which can be used to reduce flood discharge and hydrograph peak. in this research the focus was on the rockfill detention dams in submerged condition. the existence of overtopping rock...

Test Groups for Whitehead Groups

We consider the question of when the dual of a Whitehead group is a test group for Whitehead groups. This turns out to be equivalent to the question of when the tensor product of two Whitehead groups is Whitehead. We investigate what happens in different models of set theory.

An Analytical Model for the Distributions of Velocity and Discharge in Compound Channels with Submerged Vegetation

Based on the momentum transfer theory, an analytical model is proposed for the velocity and discharge distributions in compound channels with submerged vegetation on the floodplain. The partially vegetated channel was divided into three sub-regions, i.e. the main channel region, the floodplain region with submerged vegetation and the floodplain region without vegetation. For each region, the fo...

A Ribonucleolytic Rat Torpedoes RNA Polymerase II

Three recent papers reveal a fascinating link between pol II termination and ribonucleolytic decay of the nascent transcript by a 5'-3' exonuclease (yeast Rat1 and human Xrn2). The exonuclease travels with pol II and gains access to the nascent RNA after endonucleolytic cleavage at the poly(A) site or at a second cotranscriptional cleavage site (CoTC). It is then thought to track in a 5'-3' dir...

Damn the torpedoes--full speed ahead!
