Pulses of fine sediment in gravel-bedded rivers can cause extensive fine sediment infiltration (FSI) into void spaces in coarse bed material, potentially altering river morphodynamics and aquatic ecosystems. Previous work suggests a conceptual model of FSI whereby FSI occurs to a limited depth as a function of the relative grain size of bed sediment compared with infiltrating sediment and is in...

Abstract Armoring is forming an armor layer of the riverbed which preceded by transportation bed sediment. Mobile occurs when reaches equilibrium, then eroded, and surface recovers. Therefore, protection formed moving material. This research used a simulation model generated through HEC RAS software version 6.1. The input location was Krasak River, Sleman, Yogyakarta. data for were topography R...

Sand (i.e., < 2 mm) infiltration into a gravel bed is recognized to affect sediment dynamics of coarser fractions entrainment and transport rate), near-bed velocities, morphology, pose significant engineering ecological issues. Local hydraulics, dynamics, sand the matrix are related mutually each other in gravel-bed rivers. However, relatively little research has been done explore mobile under ...

This paper presents a systematic analysis of the hydraulic flushing capacity stored volume water to remove sediments. is based on 90 laboratory experiments in which sediment evacuated was measured for varying initial volumes water, three bed slopes, and sizes. The consisted rapid emptying reservoir by means suddenly opening tilting gate downstream. produced an accelerated flow eroded mobile res...

OBJECTIVE To share four Canadian cities' experiences with bed bug infestations and to explore public health roles in managing them. METHODS We summarize presentations from a workshop at the 2010 Canadian Public Health Association Conference which examined the re-emergence of bed bugs in Canada and compared management approaches of municipal and public health authorities in four large Canadian...

Next-generation wireless/mobile networks will be IP-based cellular networks integrating Internet with the existing cellular networks and Mobile IPv6 seems to be the proper next-generation wireless protocol. Mobile IPv6 is proposed to remain a device reachable even though the device roams away from one network to another. But Mobile IPv6 networks can only provide best-effort services and most st...

A distributed application that operates in an ad hoc network formed by mobile nodes must limit its use of all-to-all communication since the overall capacity of such a network is severely constrained. To address this problem, we describe an algorithm that allows an application to impose a hierarchical structure on the participating nodes. A simple tree is maintained as hosts join and leave the ...

The rapid progress of wireless communication technologies has opened a possibility to offer various types of communications to users irrespective of their locations. The all-IP based wireless networks have been proposed and the Mobile IP protocol is considered as one of prominent candidate frameworks to support a seamless mobility of users. However, to our best knowledge, there are few research...
