a large number of authors have studied to find out how to control scouring around a pier along direct stream. the objective of this research is then to study a scour pattern around such piers on curves rivers due to the fact that there may be a difference between a flow pattern on a direct line and the meander. thus, this study tries to check whether the use of cable and collar alone and in a c...

Models of hybrid meander structures with additional shields are presented in this paper. The influence and their grounding positions on the electromagnetic characteristics was investigated. Three-dimensional models were created analyzed using method moments (MoM) Sonnet® finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) CST Microwave Studio® commercial software packages. computer-based modeling verified by ...

Meander permutations have been encountered in the context of Gauss words, singularity theory, Sturm global attractors, plane Cartesian billiards, and Temperley-Lieb algebras, among others. In this spirit we attempt to investigate the difference of orderings of homoclinic orbits on the stable and unstable manifolds of a planar saddle. As an example we consider reversible linear Anosov maps on th...
