A two year hydrological characterisation programme of relatively intact blanket peat-covered catchments, underlain by geochemically distinct substrates, investigated the influence sub-peat materials on runoff regimes first order and second streams draining them. Semi-continuous monitoring flow water quality revealed a strong inverse relationship between stream rates specific electrical conducta...

Accurate simulation of radiative heat-transfer effects from the rocket engine exhaust plays an important role for the proper characterization of missile base heat loads. To promote improved radiative transfer solutions, careful attention to the physical flow-field models is paramount. Use of a generalized fluid dynamic model can assist in the close approximation of the actual base heating by so...

[1] The base flow recession constant, Kb, is used to characterize the interaction of groundwater and surface water systems. Estimation of Kb is critical in many studies including rainfall-runoff modeling, estimation of low flow statistics at ungaged locations, and base flow separation methods. The performance of several estimators of Kb are compared, including several new approaches which accou...

Introduction A substantial body of literature has been devoted to the distinct characteristics and surgical options to repair the skull base. However, the skull base is an anatomically challenging location that requires a three-dimensional reconstruction approach. Furthermore, advances in endoscopic skull base surgery encompass a wide range of surgical pathology, from benign tumors to sinonasal...
