The distribution of the wall shear stress on the bed and sidewalls of an open channel receiving lateral inflow was obtained from experimental measurements of the distribution of the velocity in the viscous sublayer using a laser doppler velocimeter. The experiments were conducted in a 0.4 m wide by 7.5 m long flume. Lateral inflow was provided into the channel from above via sets of nozzles pos...

A major disadvantage of the current practice of elastography is that only the axial component of the strain is estimated. The lateral and elevational components are basically disregarded, yet they corrupt the axial strain estimation by inducing decorrelation noise. In this paper, we describe a new weighted interpolation method operating between neighboring RF A-lines for high precision tracking...

according to the irrigation systems design standards, allowed pressure variation in lateral pipes is 20 percent. reasons for this rate selection, which since the 60's is performed, are not known. the increased changes in allowed pressure tubes to lateral pipes design, the increased sprinkling system required pressure and the increased nonuniform sprinkler distribution, so energy supply cos...

This project is part of the DRI on Scalable Lateral Mixing and Coherent Turbulence that aims to characterize lateral mixing in the ocean on scales of 10m-10 km, the submesoscales. Lateral mixing at the submesoscales is not accounted for in present-day ocean models. This deficiency is a potential source of error in the numerical prediction of the distribution of temperature, salt, nutrients, phy...

The alveolar lateral of the Viennese dialect undergoes several allophonic processes, among these, vocalization and velarization are the most prominent ones. In the current contribution, we will concentrate on the sociolinguistic aspects which disturb the complementary distribution of the alveolar and the velarized lateral and give rise to a possible reversal of the velarization process which st...

Humanitarian organizations pre-position relief items in pre-disaster and distribute them to the affected areas in post-disaster. Improper planning of emergency operations causes more deaths in post-disaster. In this paper, the problem of relief item pre-positioning and multi-period distribution planning is addressed considering lateral transhipment among distribution centres to improve the effi...
