Many studies have investigated the individual effects of sedimentation or inundation on the performance of wetland plants, but few have examined the combined influence of these processes. Wetland plants might show greater morphological plasticity in response to inundation than to sedimentation when these processes occur simultaneously since inundation can negate the negative effects of burial o...

Many contaminants of interest in water and wastewater are particles, or are made into particles for removal. Typical municipal wastewater treatment plants include both primary and secondary sedimentation, and those with tertiary treatment likely have granular media filtration. Typical drinking water plants using surface water supplies have flocculation, gravity separation (sedimentation or flot...

Theories concerning the concentration-dependence of sedimentation and diffusion coefficients for macro-molecules in dilute solution are compared and discussed, together with their experimental basis. An attempt has been made to clarify an important uncertainty still present in the literature as to whether sedimentation coefficients should be corrected for solvent or solution density. It is poin...

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...

abstract the coupled modflow-hydrus software package was used to produce a saturated-unsaturated flow model for a flood spreading system (fss) and its associated aquifer. the study aim to improve simulations of near-surface hydrological processes, including temporal and spatial variation in groundwater recharge rates. the coupled model was built with average rmse=1.1 and 1.3 for calibration and...
