open-channel junctions have a broad application in civil and environmental engineering. formation of a low-pressure zone with recirculating flow (high sedimentation) accompanied by a high-velocity zone (high erosion) is the most characteristic feature of flow in junctions. a large number of researches have been performed to study the complexity of the flow in junctions in open-channel flows. in...

A method is proposed to transform the red and near infrared data into a soil index in order to map soil features. The index maximises soil variation and helps improve soil feature mapping while it suppresses spectral response from vegetation cover. Geo-statistical analysis of fi eld data, on the other hand, helps understand spatial dependency pattern and map it, which may not be directly visibl...

application of structures of flow pattern modification is one of the erosion control methods in bends. triangular vanes are among these structures which provide less scour depth compared to the other techniques such as spur dike. since little information on erosion and sedimentation pattern around triangular vanes are available, this study was conducted to study the effect of structure effectiv...

Analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC) is a versatile and powerful method for the quantitative analysis of macromolecules in solution. AUC has broad applications for the study of biomacromolecules in a wide range of solvents and over a wide range of solute concentrations. Three optical systems are available for the analytical ultracentrifuge (absorbance, interference, and fluorescence) that permi...

Sedimentation results in the creation of new mudflats for mangroves to colonize among other benefits. However, large sediment input in mangrove areas may be detrimental to these forests. The dynamics of phenological events of three mangrove tree species (Avicennia marina, Ceriops tagal, and Rhizophora mucronata) were evaluated under experimental sediment burial simulating sedimentation levels o...
