The top quark, which completes the quark sector of the SM, was discovered in 1995 at the Tevatron by the CDF and DØ Collaborations [1]. Being the heaviest of all quarks with a mass of 178.0 ± 4.3 GeV/c [2], it couples most strongly to the Higgs boson, and its lifetime of ≈ 4 · 10 s means that it is the only quark that decays before it can hadronise, preserving spin information, and providing a ...

The geometry PIG is a system that can inspect the inside of a pipeline. The amount of pigging data is usually considerable because the system records multi-channel sensor values for a long distance inspection. Therefore, the efficient visualization of geometry PIG data is essential for the operator to analyze the amount of sensor data and to assess the pipeline features and conditions within a ...

The physical habitat that controls ecosystem functioning is determined by local hydraulics and channel morphology. Hydraulic field studies were conducted in a boreal stream 1) to test the hypothesis that the local hydraulic conditions are determined by cross-sectional geometry and flow resistance in boreal conditions by analysing the relationship between flow velocities, cross-sectional geometr...

A dataset of 21 study reaches in the Porter and Kowai rivers (eastern side of the South Island), and 13 study reaches in Camp Creek and adjacent catchments (western side of the South Island) was used to examine downstream hydraulic geometry of mountain streams in New Zealand. Streams in the eastern and western regions both exhibit well-developed downstream hydraulic geometry, as indicated by st...

The channel-geometry method is an indirect method of flood estimation which relies on the development of relations between flood discharges, measured at gauging stations, and channel dimensions, measured from natural river reaches in the vicinity of the gauge. Channel-geometry equations enable flood discharges to be estimated at ungauged locations on natural streams from measurements of channel...
