In this study, a thermal spring located in the Gulf of Gera (Lesvos Island) is investigated terms radiotracers, water flow velocities and acoustic back-scattering properties by situ observations. Water characteristics were deduced using deployments three marine sensors: an Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter (ADV), High-Frequency Current Profiler (ADCP), medium-resolution underwater gamma-ray detectio...

Ultrasonic (duplex scanning and continuous-wave Doppler) and angiographic findings in three patients with bilateral extracranial vertebral artery dissection are reported. A pattern of ultrasonic anomalies diagnostic of dissection is described, including association of a localized increase in diameter of the artery with hemodynamic signs of stenosis or occlusion at the same level and decreased p...

Possible optical setups for measurement of the peak-to-peak value of an ultrasonic transducer are described in this work. The Michelson interferometer with the calibrated nanopositioner in reference path and laser Doppler vibrometer were used for the basic measurement of vibration displacement. Langevin type of ultrasonic transducer is used for the purposes of Electro-Ultrasonic Nonlinear Spect...

The suspended sediment concentration is a key element in stream monitoring, although the turbidity and acoustic Doppler backscattering may be suitable surrogate measures. Herein a series of new experiments were conducted in laboratory under controlled conditions using water and mud samples collected in a small subtropical estuary of Eastern Australia. The relationship between suspended sediment...

A laser-Doppler velocimeter suitable for the measurement of mean and fluctuating flow velocities in water is described. Results of a study using this system in an axisymmetric turbulent jet of water and dilute polymer solutions are given. The laser-Doppler technique is better suited for such measurements than either Pitot tubes or heat-transfer gauges because the Doppler velocity measurements a...
