Megafans (100-600 km radius) are very large alluvial fans that cover significant areas on most continents, the surprising finding of recent global surveys. The number of such fans and patterns of sedimentation on them provides new mesoscale architectures that can now be applied on continental fluvial depositional systems, and therefore on . Megafan-scale reconstructions underground as yet have ...

Forced draft evaporative cooling towers are often used for condenser cooling in small steam power plants. Conventional control strategies keep the cooling pump operating at full speed all the time, and control the cooling water temperature by modulating the tower fan speed. In this work, an energy-efficient control strategy is proposed, that minimizes the combined consumption of the tower fans ...

The west slope of the Blue Ridge mountains in central Virginia is a polygenetic landscape containing interglacial and periglacial features. This paper proposes a general model relating the distribution and origin of hillslope and toeslope Quaternary landforms to climatically influenced geomorphic processes. Two generations of interglacial debris fans in the study area differ in their degree of ...

Two studies are presented that investigate information seeking behaviour on the Internet. In Study One, soccer fans’ information seeking on the World Wide Web (WWW) is investigated. In Study Two, access rates to a cancer information website are analysed. It is tentatively argued that there is a tendency for people to access information more commonly avoided in ‘real life’, although in the case ...

moving from micro-level of social capital to the macro level is essential for access to the stable benefits of this capital. the aim of this study was to design a model for the promotion of bridging social capital of football fans. this developmental research was done with mix methods. 14 experts were interviewed in targeted way and effective categories and sub categories on promotion of bridgi...
