This study aimed to produce the erosion susceptibility map of Godrahav basin by using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. stream basin, located within borders Artvin province in Eastern Black Sea Region, covers an area approximately 5310.12 hectares. In order area, 11 geo-environmental criteria which are effective formation (slope, aspect, profile curvature, drainage density, distance netw...

In this paper several rate R = 2/5 convolutional encoding matrices with four states are used to illustrate how unequal error protection can be achieved for the different positions in the code sequences as well as in the information sequences. Free outputand input-distances and active burst outputand input-distances are computed. Typically a single code cannot combine a large free outputor input...

The median 96-h lethal zinc concentration (LC50) was 439 microg Zn/L (hardness of 154 mg/L as CaCO3) for feral mottled sculpin (Cottus bairdi), decreasing to a median incipient lethal level of 266 microg Zn/L after 13 d. The 30-d chronic value was 255 microg Zn/L. The acute toxicity-hardness (ln-ln) slope of 1.022 exceeded that of the current U.S. Environmental Protection Agency zinc criteria. ...

Wave energy dissipation on coral reefs provides protection from coastal hazards to over 200 million people globally (Ferrario et al. 2014). The mechanisms of wave the complex morphologies fore-reef slope have typically been overlooked (Duce 2016). Here we focus attenuation by elongated troughs and depressions typical slopes known as spurs grooves (SaGs).
