In this study, selected types of grasses were studied to determine their hydraulic roughness coefficient and select the most suitable grass for erosion control. The experiments performed in twelve trapezoidal open channels measuring 5 m x 0.12 0.03 at different flow depths (0.001m, 0.002m, 0.003m, 0.004m 0.005m) varying bed slope (0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%). Overall, Bahama showed highest Manning’s n-va...

BACKGROUND Accelerated knee osteoarthritis may be a unique subset of knee osteoarthritis, which is associated with greater knee pain and disability. Identifying risk factors for accelerated knee osteoarthritis is vital to recognizing people who will develop accelerated knee osteoarthritis and initiating early interventions. The geometry of an articular surface (e.g., coronal tibial slope), whic...

In this note, we extend work of Farkas and Rimányi on applying quadric rank loci to finding divisors small slope the moduli space curves by instead considering all divisorial conditions hypersurfaces a fixed degree containing projective curve. This gives rise large family virtual Mg¯. We determine explicitly which these are candidate counterexamples Slope Conjecture. The potential exist Mg¯, wh...

This study presents an investigation of optimal slope design in the second degree Kronecker model for mixture experiments four dimensions and its application blending selected fruits to prepare punch. The centers around weighted centroid designs, with model. is guided by fact that class designs a complete Kiefer Ordering. To overcome problem estimability, concise coefficient matrix defined aid ...

A description of Kentucky's land base indicates that of nearly 15 million acres suitable for cropland usage, approximately three-fourths bas an erosion hazard potential of some degree, relating largely to steepness of slope (1). For this reason, there is a large potential acreage of alfalfa and other perennial forage crops relating to their sod forming growth habit which provides them an inhere...

Consider genus g curves that admit degree d covers to an elliptic curve simply branched at 2g − 2 points. Vary a branch point and the locus of such covers forms a one-parameter family W . We investigate the geometry of W by using admissible covers to study its slope, genus and components. The results can also be applied to study slopes of effective divisors on the moduli space of genus g curves.

We establish a characterization of adequate knots in terms of the degree of their colored Jones polynomial. We show that, assuming the Strong Slope conjecture, our characterization can be reformulated in terms of “Jones slopes” of knots and the essential surfaces that realize the slopes. For alternating knots the reformulated characterization follows by recent work of J. Greene and J. Howie. 20...
