Aiming to study the temperature distribution along buried pipelines containing hot fuel oil, a new large-scale laboratory is constructed from perspective of corresponding fluid thermophysical properties. Also, modeling pipe-line, and soil around it, was performed pipeline for observation all three modes turbulent, laminarization, laminar flow, which validated by experimental results. Furthermor...

Wildfires have a strong influence on various geotechnical and hydraulic properties of soils sediments, which may become more vulnerable to landslides or debris flows. In the present study, case investigation 2018 post-wildfire flows in Montecito, California, USA, was conducted, with focus wildfire-affected areas volume estimation. Significant were deposited around four major creeks, i.e., Monte...

The Usk map area spans the val ley of the Skeena River and its trib u tar ies, over a 530 km area north and east of the town of Ter race, Brit ish Co lum bia (Fig. 1, 2). It in cludes the lower parts of the Zymoetz (= Cop per) River and Kleanza Creek, which flow south west from their re mote head wa ters in the Howson Range be tween Ter race and Telkwa. Chimdemash, St. Croix and Le gate creeks ...

[1] The distribution and sources of organic and inorganic carbon were studied in the Gautami Godavari estuary (Andhra Pradesh, India) and in a mangrove ecosystem in its delta during pre-monsoon. In the oligohaline and mesohaline section (salinity 0–15) of the estuary, internal production of total alkalinity (TAlk) and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) was recorded, and the dCDIC profile suggests...

Dispersal and gene flow are significant components of metapopulation structure and dynamics. We examined gene flow in the pygmy rabbit (Brachylagus idahoensis), a sagebrush specialist that occurs in small, isolated populations in the Great Basin region and is believed to have limited dispersal abilities. We examined genetic diversity, gene flow, and population genetic structure, and investigate...

Airborne light detection and ranging (LIDAR) measurements derived before and after Hurricanes Katrina and Wilma (2005) were used to quantify the impact of hurricanes and lightning strikes on the mangrove forest at two sites in Everglades National Park (ENP). Analysis of LIDAR measurements covering 61 and 68 ha areas of mangrove forest at the Shark River and Broad River sites showed that the pro...

Accurate delimitation of species is a critical first step in protecting biodiversity. Detection of distinct species is especially important for groups of organisms that inhabit sensitive environments subject to recent degradation, such as creeks, springs, and rivers in arid or semi-desert regions. The genus Dionda currently includes six recognized and described species of minnows that live in c...
