in recent years there has been studies concerning the investigation of macro-scale geomorphic proxies of quaternary climatic changes in the study area. without detail analysis of slope geomorphic features, there can be little progress on expanding the knowledge of past slope development in the northwestern iran high mountain environments. consequently, the information pertaining to these quater...

The dynamic longitudinal-stability characteristics of a st,andard wind tunnel interference model have been investigated in free flight over a Mach number range of 0.92 to I, 35.. Measurements of lift-curve slope and manoeuvre margin were obtained, and are compared vjith results from transonic-tunnel tests under low blockage conditions. The analysis was extended to obtain damping derivatives to ...

Manual surveying methods have long been used in the field of highway engineering to determine the cross-slope, and longitudinal grade of an existing roadway. However, these methods are slow, tedious and labor intensive. Moreover, manual survey methods almost always require partial or full lane closure resulting in traffic delays, increase in costs, and inconvenience to the travelling public. In...

Due to recent developments in concert hall design, there is an increasing interest in the analysis of sound energy decays consisting of multiple exponential decay rates. It has been considered challenging to estimate parameters associated with double-rate (slope) decay characteristics, and even more challenging when the coupled-volume systems contain more than two decay processes. To meet the n...

The efficiency and economical performance of sewer systems is an essential issue in urban drainage. The need for sewers to carry sediment has been recognized for many years. One of the main problems in designing sewerage systems is the sediment deposition. Sedimentation in sewers occurs regularly according to the alternating natural flow. The present study investigates the hydraulic characteris...

in this paper, construction of triplet atmospheric plasma jet using argon, air, oxygen and nitrogen gases is reported. bactericidal effect of the plasma jet is also investigated. to that end, longitudinal geometric configuration for the electrodes was chosen because it would increase the jet length. electrical characteristics, jet length dependencies on the applied voltage and gas flow rate wer...

secondary flow investigation could be regarded as an important issue in open channel flow, in spite of its lower quantity compared to the base flow in the water course. it should be given special consideration because of the influence on some hydraulic factors in open channel, specifically in compound channels. in compound channels' due to the difference in the flow velocity of the main ch...
