abstract turbidity current is one of the most important factors that effect the sediments distribution and also their transportation and release from reservoir. in this study, effects of these currents on sedimentation process in sefidroud dam were simulated by tcm model in 30 years period. comparison between the case of turbidity currents that reach to the dam wall and release from the reservo...

Qeshm Channel is a shallow and narrow waterway located between Qeshm Island and the mainland in the vicinity of Hormuzgan Province, Islamic Republic of Iran. This channel is important because of its economic, industrial, fisheries and navigation role it plays as well as environmental issues it presents in the region. A prognostic study was performed to simulate currents in this channel, using C...

The goal of this study was to determine the effects of the L-type calcium channel blockers verapamil and diltiazem on the currents of voltage-gated potassium channel (fKv1.4ΔN), an N-terminal-deleted mutant of the ferret Kv1.4 potassium channel. Measurements were made using a two electrode voltage clamp technique with channels expressed stably in Xenopus oocytes. The fKv1.4ΔN currents displayed...

introduction: human embryonic stem cells (hescs) are pluripotent cells that can proliferate and differentiate to many cell types. their electrophysiological properties have not yet been chracterzed. in this study, the passive properties (such as resting membrane potential, input resistance and capacitance) and the contribution of delayed rectifier k+ channel currents to the membrane conductance...

Density Current is formed when a fluid with heavier density than the surrounding fluid flows down an inclined bed. These types of flows are common in nature and can be produced by; salinity, temperature inhomogeneities, or suspended particles of silt and clay. Driven by the density difference between inflow and clear water in reservoirs, density current plunges clear water and moves towards a d...

submerged breakwaters are one of the shore protective structures. any discontinuity in these breakwaters causes changes on current parameters including speed and water surface profile. in this paper, discontinuous submerged breakwaters were modelled to investigate the changes in the wave and flow pattern.to investigate the phenomenon, three models including a shore with constant slope, a shore ...
