Responses of a runoff system with slope-length distribution have been studied in detail by many researchers. In those studies, rainfall input to the runoff system was considered a deterministic variable. However, rainfall input should be treated as a random process. In this paper, the Kinematic Wave model is used as a runoff system, and differential equationswhose solutions provide the firstto ...

Fluvial drainage basin area is often related to channel length and local slope through power law relationships and the relatively small range of exponents observed in these relationships is thought to result from physical mechanisms. Proposed mechanisms assume that the observed correlation between drainage area and fluid discharge is caused by precipitation. Using high resolution DEMs of channe...

Single-unit carotid sinus baroreceptor activity was recorded in normal and heart-failure (pacing-induced) dogs. The sensitivity of these units was compared between the two groups of dogs. After development of clinical heart failure, the animals were anesthetized, and the left carotid sinus was vascularly isolated and perfused with oxygenated Krebs-Henseleit solution. Single-unit baroreceptor di...

The discharge characteristics of mechanoreceptors located in the left superior vena cava were determined in an in vitro preparation developed from the rat. Two classes of receptors with afferent fibers in the vagus were identified on the basis of their response to steps of pressure. Slowly adapting receptors (n = 18) discharged as long as pressure was above threshold and exhibited a biphasic de...

Abstract: The study analyzes the flow over bottom racks made of longitudinal T-shaped bars. A clear water flow is considered in a laboratory flume. Free surface profiles, wetted rack lengths, and discharge coefficients are measured, changing parameters such as longitudinal slope, void ratio, and approaching flow. The present work complements existing experimental studies, considering the influe...

this paper tries to systematically survey, with taking theoretical view on geomorphic basin and its changes into account. the purpose of this research is to determine the balance and stability of geomorphic basins from the past to present and then to future. consequently, it tries to determine the balance between energy and input-output materials for example (rainfall , solar radiation, tectoni...

The effect of day-night variations was evaluated in both a female and a male population of healthy subjects. A total of 239 subjects were included in this study, of which 119 male and 120 female. 24 hour Holter recordings were used to analyze heart rate variability. Power spectral indices (total power, low and high frequency power) were calculated together with the nonlinear indices fractal dim...

Nutrient concentrations and loads in streamflow are sensitive to rapidly changing stream chemistry and discharge during storms. Mechanistic models that can simulate water and solute movement at hillslope scales could be useful for predicting concentration-discharge (C-Q) patterns and thereby improve our quantitative understanding of terrestrial-aquatic linkages for targeted catchment management...

The bioultrasonic spectroscopy system was employed for measurements of velocity and attenuation coefficient of glucose solutions in the VHF/UHF range. The relation between the slope of the square of velocity and the relaxation parameters, and the relation between the frequency exponent on attenuation coefficient and the relaxation parameters are investigated. In order to carry out numerical cal...
