Estuarine landscapes form through interactions between fluvio-coastal processes and ecological within the boundaries imposed by hard substrate layers man-made dikes dams. As estuaries are ecologically valuable areas, monitoring quantification of trends in habitats is needed for objective comparison management. However, datasets tidal flat saltmarsh along entire scarce. The was to compare biogeo...

A square splittered and unsplittered rod is placed in a turbulent boundary layer developed over a flat plate. The effect of the resulting disturbances on the local heat transfer coefficient is then studied. In both cases the square rod modifies the flow structure inside the boundary layer. As a result, a stagnation point, a jet and wake area are generated around the square rod, each making a co...

The method is proposed for building a fault-tolerant system area network (SAN) as a flat network comprised of several copies of the source network. This flat network is based on a theory of balanced incomplete block designs (BIBD).

Traditional fossil fuels lead to environmental problems and are also depleting. A significant portion of global energy consumption is due to building’s air conditioning. Nowadays there is a great attention toward renewable and sustainable energy sources to support the buildings energy requirements. In this study, a solar cooling machine was designed for a three-floor residential building under ...

[Purpose] This study determined the difference between flat feet and normal feet of humans at different gait velocities using electromyography (EMG) and foot pressure analysis. [Subjects] This study was conducted on 30 adults having normal feet (N = 15) and flat feet (N = 15), all of whom were 21 to 30 years old and had no neurological history or gait problems. [Methods] A treadmill (AC5000M, S...
