A flow-regulated infection rate is defined for a Susceptible-Infected-Susceptible (SIS) model revealing the network structural properties that influence spread of infections. The linked to flow between compartments in associated positive compartmental system, providing self-regulatory effect on spreading dynamics. This translates carriers preferring visit healthier sites over more infected ones...

Sediment transport under unsteady flow condition is studied experimentally. In the first step, sediment transport under different steady flow conditions was measured and an empirical equation was derived for its calculation. In the next step, two continuous and three stepwise hydrographs were generated in the flume, and their sediment transport rate was measured. The continuous hydrographs were...
