Instream flow needs (IFN) assessment studies are performed to provide guidelines for stream water management and to assess the impacts of different water projects such as weirs, dams and stream diversions on the available fish habitat. The physical habitat simulation is one of the IFN assessment methods and also a powerful tool in management of river ecosystem that has not become a common metho...

Meander migration results from the interaction between inner bank accretion and outer erosion/collapse. This has been usually treated as a long-term average of sequence erosion events determined by flow hydrographs. Little attention paid to role that individual collapse play on meander evolution. To fill this gap, we developed numerical model river meandering describes explicitly collapse. Resu...

Highlights Stabilization structures are only effective at stabilized segments. Erosion increased in two of the six segments post-stabilization period. Deposition decreased all Jetties reducing erosion but also prone to fail. Abstract . The effectiveness streambank stabilization is insufficiently quantified. Although such clearly reduce or eliminate local scale, little known about associated eff...

Among the various hazards created by nature on the earth’s surface, the one caused by flood and river bank erosion is more common and quite devastating. Like, earthquake and volcanic eruptions, it also affects human activities in various ways wherever it occurs. Erosion, transportation and deposition are the main functions of a river. Through these activities, it creates different landforms and...

The impact of basal ganglia dysfunction on semantic processing was investigated by comparing the performance of individuals with nonthalamic subcortical (NS) vascular lesions, Parkinson's disease (PD), cortical lesions, and matched controls on a semantic priming task. Unequibiased lexical ambiguity primes were used in auditory prime-target pairs comprising 4 critical conditions; dominant relate...

Historical data were used to reconstruct channel change in the Middle Fork John Day River, a tributary of the Columbia River. Human impacts on the channel from the 1800s to present include: beaver trapping, early alluvial gold mining, dredge mining, livestock grazing, haying and irrigation, railroad-building, road-building, and placing of bank stabilization structures. 1881 land survey records,...
