Instream flow needs (IFN) assessment studies are performed to provide guidelines for stream water management and to assess the impacts of different water projects such as weirs, dams and stream diversions on the available fish habitat. The physical habitat simulation is one of the IFN assessment methods and also a powerful tool in management of river ecosystem that has not become a common metho...

Abstract The determination of minimum flow requirements for green small hydropower plants (GSHP) in China primarily relies on hydrological methods such as the Tennant method with no seasonal variation. However, direct application without local ecological data calibration lacks validity, potentially resulting unsuitable recommendations aquatic biota. Hydraulic‐habitat modelling (HHM) is assumed ...

In the broad context, an understanding of the role of intimacy has been discussed as essential to the development of a science of interpersonal relationships (Hinde, 1978). Specifically, the absence of an intimate confiding relationship has been identified as a vulnerability factor in the onset of depression under adverse circumstances (Brown & Harris, 1978 a; Costello, 1982; Solomon & Bromet, ...

Root-length measurements are an important aspect of many agronomic research programs. Several automated systems have been reported which use modifications of the line-intersect technique to estimate root length; however, most of these systems are very costly. This paper describes an inexpensive automated system using a modified line-intersect technique to estimate root length. An X-Y plotter wa...

The appearance, after colchicine treatment, of cells containing large numbers of micronuclei also called chromosome-vesicles, idiomeres, karyo meres—has been observed by several authors in different biological materials. Brues and Jackson ( @) foundtheminregenerating rat liverandinter preted their formation to be due to the swelling of the individual chromosomes after mitosis has been arreste...
