Correlations between suspended sediment load rating parameters, river basin morphology, and climate provide information about the physical controls on the sediment load in rivers and are used to create predictive equations for the sediment rating parameters. Long-term time-averaged values of discharge, suspended load, flow duration, flow peakedness, and temporally averaged values of precipitati...

We applied DEMs at 1-m resolution (for small bare lands) and at 10-m resolution (for broad forested areas) in Japanese hills and mountains for quantitative analyses of longitudinal/transverse profiles of watersheds and stream-net structure, with special attention to watershed evolution and regional relief. Many statistical morphometric parameters have distinct and consistent correlations with r...

Rock burst is one of the disaster accidents that can easily happen in rock cavern engineering. At present, most commonly used methods to control borehole pressure relief technology. In this paper, influence drilling layout schemes on effect surrounding mass systematically studied. The research results show strength reduction degree, AE evolution characteristics, failure modes samples with diffe...

This research analyzed the morphological/morphometric parameters of relief and drainage network Formiga River subbasin, southern Minas Gerais State, Brazil. study identified examined influences control mechanisms in development current configurations. The methodology was based on application indices parameters: (1) slope length (Hack's Sl); (2) normalized index (ksn); (3) river hierarchy; (4) d...

In this paper four different photopolymers are compared on the basis of their suitability for holographic data storage. The optical recording parameters of these photopolymers were directly determined using the zero spatial frequency limit. The behavior of cover plated and uncover plated material layers was analyzed. Once the main parameters were determined, we proposed a novel model to simulat...

Closed form analytical solutions of diffraction efficiency for transmission surface relief gratings in the resonance domain are presented. These are obtained by modeling the surface relief gratings with equivalent graded index gratings having Bragg properties, so as to allow for an optimum choice of grating parameters that would lead to high diffraction efficiencies. The calculated and experime...

PURPOSE Our goals were to rigorously document and explore the interrelationships of various parameters in the aftermath of total knee arthroplasty (TKA), including patient characteristics, clinical scores, satisfaction levels, and patient-perceived improvements. MATERIALS AND METHODS A questionnaire addressing sociodemographic factors, levels of satisfaction, and "wished-for" improvements was...
